GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • While the headline focused on Tommy Smith’s confirmed MSR Super2 drive, the real story for us is buried at the bottom – ALICE BUCKLEY is expected to make her own Super2 move with at least support from Matt Stone Racing, according to the team’s statement about “further announcements” coming.
  • MSR is positioning itself as a development pathway team again, and if BUCKLEY’s deal comes together as expected, she’ll be joining a program that owner Matt Stone says is focused on “investing in young, talented drivers” – exactly the kind of opportunity we need to see more of in Supercars.
  • The timing feels right for BUCKLEY to step up to Super2, and having MSR’s backing (even if it’s support rather than a full factory seat) gives her the infrastructure she needs to make a real impact in what’s traditionally been an all-boys club at this level of Australian motorsport.

UPCOMING:

  • MSR Super2 program announcements
  • 2026 Super2 Series season opener
