At just 17 years old, Toby is looking to be one of New Zealand’s next-generation V8 motorsport stars. Born in late 2008, Toby’s now stepping up to compete in the TA2 New Zealand Championship with Action Motorsport as the youngest driver in the grid. He’s quickly gone on to prove he’s where he’s meant to be with a race win & 4 podiums in just the first two rounds, making him the youngest TA2 NZ race winner in history as well as making him well in the fight for the championship and looking at a very successful debut season.
With the series campaign travelling across both the North & South Islands of New Zealand along side the Next-gen Championship, joining some of New Zealand’s biggest motorsport events throughout the year, such as the New Zealand Grand Prix & Taupo Supercars ITM 440. All the races throughout the season are live on Sky Sports, Fox Sports, Kayo & YouTube Which leads to lots of spectators online & in person making sure he’s in the right place to get eyes on him to make an impression.
