Guess who's back for another crack

Feilding’s Justin Allen (Allen Racing Team) – the most experienced Toyota 86 racing driver in New Zealand – is raring to go for what will be his eighth season in the super competitive championship.

Allen is an early confirmation for the 2025-2026 Bridgestone GR86 Championship having been one of the stand-out performers in the first championship for the second generation 86. He was a winner and a championship contender last season, and a regular winner in the previous Toyota 86 Championships.

The NAPA Autoparts-backed driver will once again run as part of the Syndicate Motorsport operation, a factor he says was important in his success last season where he finished third overall.

WE GOT 3RD!!!!!

Well that's a wrap in the 24/25 Bridgestone New Zealand GR86 Championship

All wrapping up at the Supercars Taupo 440 we qualified the worst of season in 9th (which still wasn't all bad)
Race 1 moved up 2 spots at the start and finished 7th so got some decent points and was still 5th in the Title fight heading to finals day
Race 2 we started 4th and got to 2nd quickly and fought hard with Simon Hunter for 1st only for Hugo and Zach to get me, we got through finally to 3rd and now sitting 4th overall heading to the final race of the season
Race 3 we knew we had to finish 4 spots in front of Hayden to secure a 3rd in the championship so from the start the team were keeping me posted on whether I had to push my way past AJ for 2nd or stay comfortably 3rd. Luckily for us we could just keep our 3rd place secure for our 2nd podium of the day.

With these results and some fortunate luck for us Syndicate Motorsport managed to secure me a 3rd overall in the championship for my best result ever, to Kerry Holland Autotech and Michael Burrows and Matt Walton and of course Glenn Mason thank you for all the effort over the season we learned a lot and had a good laugh

Massive thanks to the friends and sponsors that came and wished us luck across the weekend there were so many of you and it was much appreciated

Round 3 in Invercargil Bridgestone GR86 Championship

Honestly what a great weekend had a fast car all weekend and really enjoyed my racing even with my mistake in Race 2 putting me back to 21st I made my way to 9th at the end before penalties. We are now the only driver to have 2 wins this season and have won the round on top

Results qualifying 2nd
Race 1 - 2nd 🥈
Race 2 - 5th
Race 3 - 1st 🥇

We are still waiting for final results so we don't know where we are sitting overall currently

Huge thanks to the Syndicate team and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing New Zealand crew I know a lot of hours went into the weekend

Now that the weekend has settled and I'm back home, time for a update of Round 1 of the new season of the Bridgestone TOYOTA GAZOO Racing New Zealand GR Series as part of the NextGen NZ Championship

Practise we had a bit of a struggle trying to find the pace we needed, but we worked hard overnight and find some pace when it mattered
We had some fight flight battles over the weekend and although we weren't the quickest we showed that consistency pays off and we are sitting 4th overall heading into round 2

Results were:
Qualifying: 6th
Race 1: 5th
Race 2: 9th
Race 3: 7th

Huge thanks to Mum and Dad and those that believe in me to go another round definitely didn't think I would be

And what an amazing effort by the new Syndicate Motorsport team
