GEORGIA BUCKLEY Scores Pole & Two Wins on TA2 Debut, Eyes Supercars History

July 5, 2025

• GEORGIA BUCKLEY delivered the kind of debut that leaves veteran drivers scratching their heads – pole position and two wins in TA2 muscle cars with just half a day of testing under her belt. The 17-year-old Gold Coaster beat a field that included Super2 drivers, proving her brain could function at twice the pace of her Toyota GR Cup machinery while handling a car with “insane acceleration.” Tim Slade guided her through the weekend, and even she admits the whole paddock was shocked by the results.
• The construction business owner’s daughter isn’t hiding her ultimate ambition – BUCKLEY wants to be the first Australian woman in a full-time Supercars seat, period. While she acknowledges the budget reality makes it “seem a little bit impossible,” she’s mapped out a strategic path through TA2 and Trans Am as her bridge from Toyota GR Cup to the main game. Her philosophy is simple: “I don’t want to just be another female, I want to be competitive,” showing she understands the difference between tokenism and earning respect through results.
• BUCKLEY’s already assembled an impressive sponsor roster including GMSV, AC Delco, and Castrol – the kind of blue-chip backing most junior drivers can only dream about. Her two-year GMSV deal ends this year, but strong results are opening doors for extension and a potential pathway to Supercars with Chevrolet backing. She’s working as a mechanical apprentice in the family business while inspiring young female karters who are messaging her for the first time seeing someone like them competing at this level.
