Taupo’s Toby Elmiger is back for a second tilt at the Toyota 86 Trophy Series, and he returns for the four rounds as a race winner who’s made quite a name for himself in the 12 months since he last competed in a TR86.
Toby is still relatively new to the sport – having only raced cars for two seasons – but following his Trophy Series campaign in 2025, he got stuck into a full season of the growing TA2 category in New Zealand and made quite a name for himself.
Ten podiums, two race wins, and the accolade of being the youngest driver to win – anywhere – in a TA2 car mean it’s a different Elmiger this time around. He is hoping to go well, make the transition back to the TR86 a seamless one and stay sharp for the forthcoming summer season.
