Prebbleton teen impressive
at formidable Aussie track
IT TOOK just two races for
Prebbleton driver Jaden Ransley
to establish himself as a genuine
contender in the Australian
Toyota 86 Racing Series.
Racing at the opening round
of the championship at Philip
Island in Victoria, Ransley
captured a
race win and
a podium in
three races.
After strong
showings in
practice, the
17-year-old
managed to
Jaden Ransley
qualify fifth
a in a field
of 40 cars. It
got even better once racing got
under way, with Ransley taking
third in the first race after a dice
with V8 Supercars legend Garth
Tander.
In the second race Ransley
went even better and claimed his
maiden win in the Australian
championship. In Sunday’s final
race Ransley was forced to retire
after another driver collided
with him.
“I’m incredibly satisfied with
the performance that myself and

opening round of the Australian Toyota 86 Racing Series.
the Liam McAdam Motorsport
team showed this weekend,” said
Ransley.
“We’ve shown that we aren’t
here to play tiddlywinks and
we’ve also shown that we have
the pace to fight for race wins
and podiums. Winning race
two was a moment I will never
forget. To be battling wheel to
wheel with Garth Tander was an
incredible experience and something
that I learned a lot from.”
“Unfortunately we ended the
weekend on a low after being
spun out by another driver and
getting stuck in the gravel trap.
But there are a huge amount of
positives to take from the weekend.
For now we’re counting
down the days to continue some
more awesome racing in a few
months in Townsville.”
•The next round of the
championship takes part in
Townsville from July 5-7.
REPRESENTATIVE: Tony Worthington scored New Zealand’s
only points when they took on an under-14 Australian AFL
team. ​
Rolleston College student
scores only goal in AFL games
ROLLESTON College student
Tony Worthington recently
represented New Zealand in two
matches in Auckland against an
Australian under-14 AFL team.
The young Australian rules
player scored the only goal for
the AFL New Zealand academy
team during their two games
against the Mornington Peninsula
side.
The New Zealand side lost
the first game 0-112. In match
two Worthington kicked his
side’s only goal in a 7-115 loss.
Both games were played at QBE
Stadium.
In spite of being the only goal
scorer Worthington said the best
part was doing the haka wearing
the New Zealand jersey.
The teenager is also a talented
rugby union player and was
named in the Ellesmere
under-13 development side last
year.
