GRRL! SUMMARY:

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.
