I'm sure every one of those ads somewhere had the fine print "professional driver on a closed course, do not attempt" disclaimer in them.

No disclaimer I see about track driving. In fact as late as 2016 Tada again talks about tracking the car, no disclaimer in his reply. Again he is saying the car is set up for tracking it WITHOUT disclaimer, no disclaimer in the warranty, no disclaimer when I called Toyota corporate. So with all those facts I am led to believe that when I use the car on the track my warranty is still good.

Blog: That’s interesting, because historically you have favoured mechanical engineering over electronics. How do you feel about this change in focus?

Tada: Many people think that electronic controls are not good for sport driving, but I don’t think that is the case now as control systems can actually enhance an expert driver’s skill. For example, the 2017 GT86 has a number of new electronic control modes for track driving. This logic system was developed from our motorsport activities – particularly the GT86 in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
