Building the pathway
Nikunj returns to competition with a structured program: Toyota 86 development at Winton Raceway, OLT licensing progress, and national competition targeted for 2027.
Competitive racing started in India, in the Volkswagen Cup and in rallying. Nikunj stepped away from the sport to build a career and a family in Australia. He is back, and this time the plan is written down.
Toyota 86 driver development is running now at Winton Raceway. It is built on professional coaching, structured testing and a full 6DOF motion simulator, with progress tracked through Motorsport Australia's OLT licensing pathway.
The target is national competition in 2027, and the pathway beyond it runs through GR Cup and GT4 to GT3. Every stage is set out on the journey page, with the finished ones marked finished and the ones ahead marked ahead.
