Seventeen year old Aucklander Thomas Mallard is back for a third season in New Zealand’s leading one make one model championship and will be aiming to pick up his first season in the Toyota GR86 where he finished last season – as one of the pace setters. Mallard has been racing in the Toyota 86 Championship for two seasons, making steady progress to become a regular towards the front of a competitive mid- field. He’s had several strong performances – particularly in the second half of last season – and is now ready to make the step up to be a regular podium contender. Feet firmly on the ground, however, he’s aware it’s going to be a major challenge for all of the drivers this coming season as they switch to the new GR86. |
