Finally, I've got the magazine w/ the full review of the time attack of different models of 86s, BRZs and other cars.
The video shots of the direct comparison between the 86 and the BRZ for this article was posted here before.

-The Car Top magazine, June issue

-They tested 20 cars/models at Tsukuba Circuit.

-For the 86/BRX, 6 different kinds of the stock models were checked. Interesting to see the 86 w/ 16" got the best lap.

-Some comments from Nakaya, the driver in the video: "I've already checked out the 86s/BRZs before, but the impression especially at "Tsukuba" is totally different. As we know the tires on the stock models are very "economic" as used for Prius. Meanwhile, the course road of TC has the high friction resistance. So, it is very stable and no drifting unlike the other circuits or streets. As far as grip-driving, I don't see a big difference between the 86 and the BRZ.

-More cars tested......
