Christchurch motorsport star Chris White, the Rookie winner in the 2024-2025 Bridgestone GR86 Championship, made a notable debut at Bathurst, supporting the Bathurst 1000 event.
White secured his drive in the third round of the 2025 Toyota Australia GR Cup due to his rookie successes in New Zealand. Despite a huge crash in the first race, which started from 26th on the grid, he made significant progress in the subsequent races.
We had set out to find the pace to be in or just outside the top ten within the three races so in the end getting to 14th with only two races was pretty satisfying.
