Am I missing something here?
As one of the most hyped cars in decades for the perfect racing platform tuner, where the hell is it in true sanctioned racing? ...sorry guys, drift is NOT racing. I love time attack, but we want race teams and wheel-to-wheel stuff here.
Seriously, I'm dumbfounded by the lack of racing representation with this car
Continental Tires Challenge. No show in Street Tuner class...? vs Civic Si, Miata, BMW, Cayman, Hyundai GenCoupe, etc. It would fit perfect in that class, no?
Pirelli World Challenge. Only one Scion FRS (supercharged too), Stout Racing, entered ONE race in the 2014 season in which they ended up in a crash. Nothing from them since. Previous to that, they ran in the 2013 season and was plagued by problems. Pretty much last place for both years!
For the amount of cars sold in North America and the PR of being an "amazing tuner machine", you would think Toyota/Scion/Subaru would prove this car and enter it into solid racing efforts...? I've been waiting two years now. Where the hell is it? Where is Toyota Racing Development in all this? Where are the sponsored teams? Is this stupid of me to ask...? I was thinking people would be all over this!
Sure we got the Griffon (not a wheel-to-wheel car) and a handful of Gazoo cars. The Gazoo 86's being pretty much the only noise of success in terms of an 86 race team.
Subaru, well, they built a GT300 car that really isn't a BRZ. And it looks like they probably kicked their Toyota imbred BRZ to the curb because they'd rather promote their WRX.
I still haven't seen any racing efforts at all from an actual BRZ from Subaru. Nothing FA20 D4S powered.
Will we see any solid entries for FT86 at all?
Where is the Toyota/Scion equivalent of Realtime Acura?
Pipe dreams?
