The 34-year-old Victorian will join New Zealander Chris Pither in the GRM-owned Méganes, catapulting the team to become one of the favourites within the TCR Australia Series.
Moffat, the son of legendary touring car driver Allan, is highly credentialled within the sport, having competed as a full-time Supercars driver from 2011 to 2017. He has experience driving for a number of teams including Dick Johnson Racing, Nissan Motorsport and, most recently, GRM.
“The TCR Series has been something I’ve been keeping a close eye on and I’m really pleased to have got the deal across the line to race the Renault with Garry Rogers Motorsport,” said Moffat.
“I was involved in the TCR launch at Sydney. I had the chance to sample one of the cars on that day and was impressed by what I saw and what I felt.
“It’s a category that is clearly growing world wide and I’m confident that it has some great potential in our local market.
“Naturally, it’s exciting to be involved in the first season of the new series, and to be driving one the of Renaults is going to be good fun.
His career highlights include two Supercars victories, one with Nissan in 2013 and one with Tickford Racing in 2018 on the Gold Coast. He also finished second in the Bathurst 1000 in 2014 alongside Taz Douglas.
Moffat is the seventh driver confirmed for the 2019 TCR Australia Series, which now includes the likes of Jason Bright, Tony D’Alberto, John Martin and Nathan Morcom.
In total, there will be as many as 18 TCR cars in Australia ahead of the opening round. Series organisers, the Australian Racing Group, expects that at least 15 of these will compete in the first event in Sydney next month.
Every TCR Australia race across the seven rounds will be broadcast live, free and in HD on SBS.
