I didn't. Their assessment of it being 'raced' came from fast shifts at high RPM.

No, but is does say The 86 has been tested on tough test tracks like the Nürburgring to make sure it offers the highest levels of reliability and performance in all kinds of conditions

Maybe the warranty processes are different between countries but my dealer was awesome during the process. They though Toyota HQ were be asses, they made a bunch of useful suggestions to get this fixed. Their hands were tied.

I've got no problems with them making exclusions for track, but you need to be clear about that upfront. Not rely on a bullshit definition of it being on a racetrack as automatically 'misuse and neglect'. Have a look at the photo from the Toyota website. The driver is wearing a helmet on racetrack. You can't, based on some arbitrary bullshit, decide that is now 'misuse and neglect', especially when the problem is fixed by a new ECU map.
