The 2025–26 Bridgestone GR86 Championship is shaping up to be another must-watch summer of racing, with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing NZ entering the second season of competition with the new-generation GR86 race car.

Proudly developed and built at Hampton Downs by TGRNZ, the GR86 is purpose-built for the track—evolving from the legacy of the beloved TR86. Race-specific components have been carefully integrated into the already impressive standard specification, delivering a car engineered to perform in the intense, level-playing-field environment of a one-make series.

Strict control parts and eligibility criteria ensure the championship remains fair, competitive, and focused on driver talent—with only officially built GR86 race cars eligible to compete.
