Lucas McGill hadn’t done much time at all in a Toyota GR86 racing car before winning the Tony Quinn Scholarship and securing a debut season in the Bridgestone GR86 Championship, but he’s been hard at work making up for lost time and he’s aiming to be competitive in what is traditionally a hard-fought Rookie class.

McGill has four years of karting experience – not as much as many of his rivals – but he has proven speed having won the 2025 NZ National Karting Championship in Rotax Max Lights as well as the TQF GR86 shootout of course.

He also succeeded in securing a GR86 car for the season courtesy of the Wolfbrook Scholarship.
