Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community - FT86CLUB - View Single Post - So... where the hell is the FRS/BRZ in sanctioned racing?

A Scion FR-S fielded by BrassMonkey racing ran the Continental Sports Car Challenge race at Mid-Ohio last year in the TC class. In the first race it finished 4th during a steady downpour. The second race was dry and it was obvious that the car was down on power compared to its competition. It finished 7th. My understanding was the engine was stock with just a tune and exhaust bolt ons. As far as I know. it has not run a race since but maybe that was a feeler for the 2015 season which is yet to start.

Toyota, Scion and TRD did run a sponsorship program last year for NASA and SCCA. There was an overall contingency for Toyota drivers for wins and 2nd place finishes and a special contingency for the FR-S. That covered national level club and pro racing. The Scion is in the T4 SCCA class for club and the TC or TCA class for pro.

Hopefully, someone will step up this year and go racing at the national level.
