From the fast corners of New Zealand’s GR86 Cup to the legendary Mount Panorama circuit, Chris White Junior continues to rise through the ranks of Australasian motorsport. While Bathurst isn’t part of his 5R Solutions-backed campaign, the Kiwi talent carries the momentum of a standout New Zealand season into one of the most iconic racing weekends in the world.
Chris’ standout season included:
Winning the GR86 Rookie Championship.
Placing 4th in his debut season overall in the GR86 New Zealand Championship.
2024/2025 Tony Quinn Foundation Shootout winner.
Podium finishes in the GT4 Australian Championship.
Chris’ Bathurst drive is part of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia GR Cup, a support category for the Bathurst 1000 round of the V8 Supercars. His performance in New Zealand earned him a guest seat in the Australian GR86 Series - a testament to his rapid development and potential.
Chris has said “I set a goal of winning the Rookie Championship. That was my only goal, one that I saw as my first step. Part of the prize was this drive in the guest car in the GR86 Australia Series at Bathurst” in a article published by velocitynews.co.nz.
While 5R Solutions isn’t supporting the Bathurst event directly, we have been a proud supporter of Chris throughout his debut New Zealand season and are excited to continue the partnership going into his second GR86 Season in New Zealand for the 2025/2026 season.
“We wish Chris all the best for this incredible opportunity to showcase his talent on an international stage. While Bathurst isn’t part of our sponsorship, we’re proud to support him throughout the New Zealand season and can’t wait to see what he achieves this weekend”, from the team at 5R Solutions.
Chris’ New Zealand racing season commences on the 31st of October at Hampton Downs.
Chris White Junior’s Bathurst debut is more than just a race - it’s a milestone in a journey powered by passion, talent, and the support of those who believe in him, like 5R Solutions. From NZ circuits to international stages, the road ahead looks fast and promising.
