ALICE BUCKLEY Fights Through Crowded Field in Toyota 86 Championship Opener

July 12, 2025

• ALICE BUCKLEY was right in the thick of the action during the Toyota 86 Championship season opener, fighting in a crowded midfield battle that showcased the competitive depth of the 33-car field. While the headlines focused on Fraser’s return to victory lane after five years, we saw quality racing throughout the pack.
• The battle for 12th position behind Zane Rinaldi turned into a proper scrap, with BUCKLEY mixing it up against Kade Davey, Jordan Freestone, Cooper Barnes, Charlie Nash, and Ben Stewart. This kind of close-quarters racing is exactly what makes the Toyota 86 series a proving ground for emerging talent.
• With Race 3 still to come on Sunday morning, BUCKLEY and the rest of the field have another chance to move up the order in what’s shaping up to be a competitive 2025 season. The 33-car grid shows the health of the series, giving drivers like ALICE valuable wheel-to-wheel experience in a professional championship environment.
