Ah yes, the Toyota 86. After several years of speculation, spy shots, and flat out rumors, the time is upon us to put this baby in gear and drive her away. A joint venture from Subaru and Toyota, the car features a 2.0L Flat-4 engine that was developed largely by Subaru, but uses Toyota's new Direct-Injection technology. With great aerodynamics and a lower center of gravity that a Porsche Cayman, the 86 aims to please those drivers who enjoy a car with fantastic balance.
For this series, we will be racing the car in Spec form. What that means is, tuning is prohibited right down to the tires! This puts everyone on a level playing field and allows the drivers talent to shine through. This will be enforced by using the new "Restricted Tuning" option in the online lobbies. The only item that can be adjusted freely is the brake balance.
Wheel choice and car colors are OPEN.
Performance Stats:
- 197 hp @ 6,500 RPM
- 151 lb/ft @ 4,500 RPM
- Curb Weight - 2690lbs
As stated above, this series will run with a "Tuning Prohibited" option in the online lobbies. The only available tuning option under this condition is the Brake Balance. Drivers are free to make this adjustment as much as they please.

Races will take place on Tuesdays & Thursdays at the times allotted below in the schedule section. Each race will be open to the first 16 drivers that arrive in the room, and will consist of two (x2) races. The first will have a 10 minute qualifying session, followed by a 15 minute sprint race. For the second race, the field will be inverted and will run for approximately 20 minutes. Each of these races is bullet-pointed below.
Each driver is only allowed to race in one of the races available each week and have it count for points. If a room has available spots open, a driver who has already raced that week may participate, however it will not count for any additional points. All drivers will be put into a single, combined points table to fight it out for the championship.
Please be in the room on-time! Drivers that arrive after qualifying has started, will not be allowed to race unless you clear it through a race steward first!
