NZ Toyota 86 E-Cup
NZs latest big sim racing competition has been announced and it has the backing of Motorsport New Zealand and Toyota Racing NZ.
And naturally they announced it the day after the last Hectic News went out so here’s a special dedicated edition to bring you up to speed with the details.
Important: Entries close Midnight, Saturday the 29th of March. Get those entries in! Entry form.
The big drawcard here is the Test day in a fully race prepared Toyota 86 Cup Car for the winner!
Plus another driver who receives no penalties through the season will get use of a Ssangyong Race Ute at a track day at Hamptons Downs!
This is off the back of Toyota NZ supporting GT7 series NZERS in 2024 with the Toyota 86 test day being won by (and recently completed by) Matthew McEwen.
