O’Keeffe Returns to ASM Fold in Autoglym Lynk & Co
Dylan O’Keeffe will drive the Ashley Seward Motorsport Autoglym Lynk & Co at this weekend’s opening Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series round at Sandown International Raceway.
Autoglym’s partnership with ASM moves into a fourth year in 2024, continuing a strong partnership that has delivered multiple race wins and podiums. Autoglym first appeared on the ASM Alfa Romeo Giulietta in 2021 and 2022, before adorning the Lynk & Co in 2023.
O’Keeffe returns to the ASM squad for which he drove in 2019. Campaigning the Alfa Romeo, the season saw O’Keeffe claim eight podiums, including four race victories as he picked up fifth in the standings for TCR Australia’s inaugural season.
The longstanding relationship between O’Keeffe and ASM extends to Porsche Sprint Challenge and Carrera Cup, in which O’Keeffe has also taken a multitude of race wins for the Dandenong-based team.
ASM have won at least one race in each year of TCR Australia so far, with the return of O’Keeffe also marking a return to the team’s most successful driver in the category.
The opening round of the 2024 Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series takes place from February 9-11 at Sandown Raceway, as part of the Shannons SpeedSeries. All the action will be live and free on the Seven Network, with all three races live and free on 7plus.

Dylan O’Keeffe – #11 Autoglym Lynk & Co
“The Lynk & Co is the best TCR car that I’ve driven so far, it is extremely responsive, and you have a lot at your disposal to tune the car exactly how you need it,” said O’Keeffe.
“TCR has been an extremely enjoyable category for me to compete in over the years. The level of competition is right up there, and the field is full of talented drivers and teams. To be back with Ash (Seward) is great, we’ve achieved a lot throughout my career.
“That 2019 season in TCR was a lot of fun, and every time I’ve gone racing for Ash he’s delivered an exceptional car. His preparation is second to none, and there’s no doubt the Lynk & Co will be in top shape when it rolls out for the weekend.
“I’ve enjoyed a fair amount of success at Sandown in the past, so I can’t wait to get going this weekend,” concluded O’Keeffe.
