Sixteen-year-old Nieko Scoles may be young, but he’s one of the most experienced Toyota 86 drivers in the field.
The Invercargill schoolboy has been racing cars since he was 13 and started his circuit racing in a Toyota 86, clocking up hundreds of racing kilometres in club racing events and in the South Island Endurance Championship.
Scoles made his ‘main game’ Toyota 86 debut earlier this year at the New Zealand Grand Prix weekend at Highlands, impressing in the Bridgestone GR86 Championship round – a championship he is aiming to excel in over the next few seasons.
