Testimonial from William 2024
"The past two years of my many years of Motorsport have been the best, receiving the Tony Quinn Foundation Scholarship in my first year of car racing gave me the best start possible going into a strong 86 field.
The Support and guidance all throughout that year was exactly what I needed, everything from the social media updates to the media training from Greg Rust. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people around me.
My Second year of Toyota 86 had a lot more success, tied for most round wins and having most pole position awards proved it. I had confidence, I had public speaking down packed and I knew I had the whole package to succeed. Almost all of that came from the help of TQF.
Topping off a great year it was an honour to receive the Kiezen award from Toyota Gazoo Racing New Zealand. I know this shows that my principles, morals and high level of achievement have been noticed by a leading world wide brand. I can't wait to represent New Zealand on an international Level!!
It is a privilege to be a part of the TQF as a past recipient of the scholarship. I have so many goals I need to tick off in the near future. Im seeking support on my journey to the top of Motorsport."
