GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • ALICE BUCKLEY breaks a three-year drought as the first woman to join the Super2 grid, stepping up with her family team Alice Buckley Motorsport in partnership with Matt Stone Racing. The 18-year-old will campaign a former Triple Eight Race Engineering Holden Commodore ZB, marking a significant milestone for women’s representation in Australia’s premier feeder series.
  • The rising star earned her promotion after a dominant 2025 season where she claimed the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia Scholarship title with three wins, but her real statement came in TA2 Racing where she won four times on a limited schedule. Her pole position at Queensland – four tenths faster than eventual champion and Supercars co-driver Jarrod Hughes – proved she’s one of the best.
  • BUCKLEY’s racing pedigree runs deep, from karting since age six to being a finalist in the 2022 FIA Girls on Track Rising Stars program, plus sweeping all three races at Queensland as a Toyota 86 rookie in 2023. Her December test with Matt Stone Racing confirmed the partnership was “a natural fit,” setting up what could be a breakthrough campaign starting at Sydney Motorsports Park in February.

UPCOMING:

  • Super2 Round 1: Sydney Motorsports Park (Feb 20-22)
  • Super2 Round 2: Hidden Valley Raceway (Jun 19-21)
