24 Red Racing

Good luck Mark Mallard , if anyone can Mark can !

Long-time Toyota racer Mark Mallard makes a welcome return to racing this coming weekend when he will race his TR86 in the Toyota 86 Trophy Series.

A stalwart of New Zealand motorsport and owner of Crème Insurance – which has done a lot more than most companies to sponsor young drivers over the past few seasons – Mark will be at the wheel once more of his trusty Toyota 86 – the car he last raced in the main-game championship four years ago and that son Thomas raced in for his debut Toyota 86 season.

“The old Jigger was sitting in the garage,” said. “I do run every now and then in GTRNZ and in the Auckland Production Racing Series. I just love driving the TR86 and I always try to get a class win or two in it every year doing something. And now is a good time to get it out and enjoy it.”
