Biography
Gray’s career began in motocross as a toddler before switching to cars at 14, initially in Hyundai Excels before stepping up to Toyota 86 competition.[1] Having finished 5th in the New Zealand series, Tickford Racing signed Gray to their academy program leading to his V8 Supercar debut in Super3 at the Adelaide 500 where he scored a class podium.[2] The Denman resident was promoted to Super2 in 2024, finishing on the podium in both races at Bathurst en route to the round win and 7th in the standings.[3]
Through his results in New Zealand Toyota 86, Gray made a cameo in the 2023 ADAC GT4 Germany series at the Nürburgring with KCMG, finishing 20th and 10th across the races with co-driver Brock Gilchrist.[4] In 2024, he competed in GT4 Australia with Miedecke Motorsport – alongside George Miedecke, the team won the Ford Mustang GT4’s first race outside North America in the opening round at Phillip Island and narrowly missed out on the championship to Method Motorsport.[5][6]
Gray is the son of former V8 Utes and Touring Car Masters driver Jeremy Gray.[7]
