Chris White Impresses at Bathurst Debut
Christchurch motorsport star Chris White, the 2024-2025 Bridgestone GR86 Championship winner, made his Bathurst debut at the Bathurst 1000 support event.
White, who secured his drive in the third round of the 2025 Toyota Australia GR Cup due to his rookie successes in New Zealand, aimed to make steady progress throughout the weekend's practice sessions, qualifying, and three races.
Although a huge crash in the first race hindered his chances of advancing from 26th on the grid, White made significant strides in the remaining two races, finishing 22nd in the second race and 14th in the final race on Sunday.
"We had set out to find the pace to be in or just outside the top ten within the three races so in the end getting to 14th with only two races was pretty satisfying,"
he added, reflecting on his overall performance.
