New Zealand's Leading One-make Racing Series
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing New Zealand picked up on the potential of the 86, producing a locally specified and professionally prepared race car, the TR 86. Built by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing New Zealand, the cars are designed for racing and can be certified for Targa road rallies and other competitions. But their primary purpose was clear from the outset.
Building on the globally recognised success of its unique Castrol Toyota Racing Series, Toyota devised a closely controlled one make championship for the new TR 86, offering local race drivers the chance to be part of a close fought and exciting series that competes on New Zealand's leading race circuits.
The Best Bars Toyota 86 Championship, like the Castrol Toyota Racing Series, plays a role in helping rising race drivers hone their skills - and with the close grids of TR 86 competitors, it brings the added bonus of dedicated media coverage and television, helping to attract sponsors at driver and team level.
