Filling that role this year is the Toyota GR86 Cup car, the dedicated steed for the all-new single make Toyota GR Cup racing series that debuts in 2023.
Reinforcing and validating the track-inspired engineering in every Toyota GR sports car, all GR Cup race cars will start as stock vehicles that then go to TGRNA's brand new, state-of-the-art facility in Mooresville, North Carolina, to be modified for GR Cup competition.
