toyota 86 series australia

The Toyota 86 Series in Australia is a one-make championship where identical 86 coupes go door-to-door as support acts to big Supercars weekends.

It’s designed as an affordable stepping stone for aspiring racers, with control parts and tight regs that reward talent more than deep pockets.

Expect rounds at headline circuits like Mount Panorama and Sydney Motorsport Park, stacked with privateers and the odd cameo turning up the chaos.

Under the bonnet it’s the familiar 2.0‑litre boxer and rear-wheel drive, safety gear bolted in and attitude turned up—light, noisy, and gloriously tail-happy.

Thinking of having a crack? Get your licence, prep an 86 to spec, and maybe scout a donor car on Tradingpost before the spanners and late nights begin.
