ALICE BUCKLEY Shows Speed as Reigning Champion in Super2 Practice at Sydney

February 20, 2026

• ALICE BUCKLEY made an impressive Super2 debut, bringing her family-owned Holden Commodore home in fifth position during the first practice session and leading all Holden runners. The reigning Toyota Scholarship Series champion showed she belongs in the premier development category, running her Matt Stone Racing-prepared entry consistently in the top half of the field across both sessions.
• While Tickford’s dominance continued with Ben Gomersall topping both practice sessions, BUCKLEY’s performance stood out as the weekend’s biggest storyline among the rookies. She demonstrated solid pace and racecraft in her debut, finishing 17th in the second session but maintaining her position as the fastest Holden driver when it mattered in the opening session.
• The championship battle looks wide open with former Tickford drivers now scattered across different teams, but BUCKLEY’s early speed suggests we’re watching the emergence of a serious title contender. Her family-owned operation with MSR support has given her a platform to showcase the talent that earned her the Toyota scholarship, and she’s clearly making the most of it.
