Castrol Toyota Racing Series officials say that the FIA decision last week to go with the Tatuus chassis for European regional F3 series means its New Zealand championship should now be fully on the radar for drivers planning next season’s campaigns.

The draw of home and the desire to test his competitiveness against the best up and coming talent in New Zealand were enough to convince Australian-based Kiwi Tony Austin to commit to the Toyota 86 Championship.

Taranaki 18 year old Campbell Stewart is the latest young driver to sign up for the 2018-2019 Toyota 86 Championship and the speedway ace will add yet another dimension to a series already brimming with talent.

Delivering fast, competitive racing, New Zealand’s premier single-seater category attracts drivers from around the globe.

Toyota’s acclaimed 86 sports coupe is returning for a fifth Championship season in 2018/19.
