JND podium on Toyota debut

JND Racing’s Zane Rinaldi delivered a standout performance on the streets of Surfers Paradise, scoring three podium finishes across the Toyota 86 Championship races at the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500.

Rinaldi showed composure and pace throughout the weekend, finishing 2nd, 3rd, and 3rd in the highly competitive field — marking a major milestone for both the young driver and JND Racing in their debut Toyota 86 appearance.

Team owner Nick Percat praised the effort, saying:

“This was a huge weekend for JND Racing. To debut on one of the toughest circuits in Australia and come away with three podiums is an incredible effort. Zane drove with maturity beyond his years and showed the speed we know he has. It’s exciting to see JND competing at this level and already achieving success.”

The result highlights JND Racing’s growing presence beyond karting, proving the team’s driver development pathway can deliver results from grassroots to national circuit racing.

Next up, JND Racing and Rinaldi will turn their focus to the final round of the Toyota 86 Championship at Sandown Raceway, aiming to close out the season on a high and continue building on their impressive debut performance.
