After the rumors of a racetrack Toyota GT 86 will be developed, Toyota Racing in New Zealand has created what it is now officially known as the Toyota Finance 86 Series, which has been given full championship status by Motorsport New Zealand.
The series will debut next month with the opening round at Highlands Park in Cromwell, while 20 of the TR 86 racing cars have been built at Toyota Racing’s workshop.

Each track-built TR 86 costs AU$89,700 and it is an entry-level 86 RC model fitted with an FIA-approved six-point rollcage, Sparco racing seat, steering wheel and MoTec color display and data logger. Moreover, it has a specially-tuned adjustable suspension, performance exhaust system, a custom racing brake package and two sets of 18-inch Speedline wheels wrapped in Michelin slick tires.
