What is Toyota Racing going to announce on June 1?

In reply to stafford1500 :

Oh no .   .  The GR86 is doing NASCAR isn't it...  The next gen is only 9" longer wheelbase...  Maybe this could work...

An 86 without the Subaru engine. One can dream.

I bet they're adding a new sporty trim level that consists solely of a stripe graphic and an embroidered headrest.

Don't forget the cool "custom" shift knob for the automatic transmission selector

Are there RWD cars in TCR these days? TCR is so boring compared to the old ST class that I stopped paying attention. 

I'm loving everything Toyota is making these days. The one thing I hate is that they aren't bringing over the roll down rear window into this new generation of Sequoia. One of the best features that car has had and makes them great if you need to haul 8-12ft pieces of lumber. 

Any news?

Looks like a new RAV 4 Hybrid with AWD that

( drum roll please)

can go off road.

My guess is Toyota is putting together a team and cars for the Indy league of racing.

I'd rock a GR Sienna...

This may be a hint from Toyota HQ.

Hey, I guessed correctly about the new spec series! (And JG doubted me.)

Toyota GR86 Stars in New Single-Make Racing Series

Homologated by Toyota, the GR86 is the designated race car for Gazoo Racing's newly formed GR Cup.

yep! I'm a little disapointed though that they're running a sequential.. because it just makes the cost of running the series that much higher..

In reply to spacecadet (Forum Supporter) :

Someone needs to check my math, but I believe MX-5 Cup went to a sequential to actually lower costs as the stock gearboxes required too much servicing.

The ND gearboxes were absolutely made of glass and nothing could make them strong enough.... but the cost of purchasing a Global MX-5 car also went up $30K+ as a result.

I've not heard nearly the amount of (if any) gearbox issues coming out of the twins over the longer period they've been sold compared to the ND.

Maybe this was done to prep drivers for the next step into TCR, GT4 or GT3? 

I just want to know when I can buy a new Sequoia TuRD Pro. 

Also the next big press release from a Japanese make will be Honda showing us another camo variant of the CTR.
