And neal bates ran 1991World Rally Championship 56th Toyota Celica GT-Four Neal Bates Motorsport. Thats when his career started. "CAREER" not driving. So I would see why keiichi tsuchiya would support the ae86. And the community would definitely know who tsuchiya. Im not saying truth, Im just stating facts.
The main point is that Tsuchiya is connected to the 86, Bates is not. Both are impressive drivers and both are connected with Toyota, but Tsuchiya's presence makes more sense.
