Brock Gilchrist returns for fifth Toyota 86 campaign

Experienced Toyota 86 Championship campaigner Brock Gilchrist will return to the series in 2023 with just one thing on his mind: Series victory.

Despite only being 19 Gilchrist, from Matakana, is one of the most experienced racers in the TR86 category. He’s been a race winner and a championship contender for the past two seasons but hopes 2023 will finally be his year.

His most recent win came back in September in one of the non-championship races at Pukekohe when the series supported Supercars.

He says that’s a great lead-in to the season.

“I’m looking to continue my momentum from the ITM Supersprint at Pukekohe of course and am counting down the days until I can get behind the wheel again,” the teenaged said.

“My goal really is a simple one given the knowledge of the car and the circuits I have. I’ve got to collect as many points as possible along the way to give me the best shot at the championship.”

Gilchrist will run with IMac Racing alongside Will Morton with Ian McNabb and Todd Bickerton overseeing engineering and car preparation.

It’s now only a matter of weeks before the Super Sprint Motorsport New Zealand Championship gets underway with the first event at Highlands Motorsport Park on January 13-15.
