New Zealand Sportscar Championship 2025/2026, open-class - 3rd Place🥉🇳🇿🏁

Last weekend was our final round of the series, which included an awards day on the Sunday following the event. Very grateful to be coming away with 3rd place in the open-class championship!

My first time competing outside of Australia, a new car to get my ahead around, three new tracks to learn and so much to experience for the first time.

Though it certainly wasn't without its challenges, the season yielded 11x individual race podiums, 2x round podiums, and the Round 2 victory 🏆🏁

Very thankful for the opportunity to compete in such a cool series. Huge appreciation for all involved in putting this together; Radical Sportscars NZ, Motorsport New Zealand, Motorsport Australia and of course all the category staff, volunteers and event organisers!

A very genuine thank you to Ross Tebbs & Edgell Performance for the opportunity, trust and support this season. 🙏🇳🇿

Hats off to ALL the competitors in each of the classes, well done on making this year a very entertaining & enjoyable experience. The sights & sounds of this series was actually incredible at times!

Congratulations to all the category winners, and a special mention for Steve Sharpe, Round 6 winner who only narrowly missed out on a open-class series podium.
