GT86 Trackday with Toyota Sweden (From Winning Contest)


FT86CLUB Homepage Featured Story


Hi!

Last fall a co-worker and I entered a competition at Toyotas Facebook page.
The task where to build a car out of this:


After a whole weekend at the office with state of the art equipment as you can see. The end result became this:



A couple of weeks later we got a mail from Toyota, congratulated us for winning a trackday with the GT86. WINNING

They told us to go here. Trosta racing Park. Just outside Arlanda airport, Stockholm:



8pm we where on site and the first view to welcome us whas this:


After a short debrief, a history lesson about Toyotas racing heritage and some breakfast. They told us that we got 8 hours to drive these cars like we stole them.

Im kidding you not! They actually allowed us to drive with all assists of and kill the tires.
I think it was the PR-manager of Toyota Scandinavia that told us that "Autocross them, drift them. They are built for this"

As you may understand I spent the whole day driving, so I only took like 3 pics or so. But here they are:





The lucky ones



This where my first track event ever. And after 4 hours of pure driving I where absolutely gased. This where without a doubt one of the funnies things I ever done. So a big thanks to Toyota Sweden.
I will for sure order a car this year. As soon I get rid of my Mustang.

Here you have the GT86 clothing line we got in the beginning of the day.







This is my first tread so I hope you guys like it.
Please forgive my bad spelling and grammer. OMG its hard to write in English

As a gift to you for your patience I give a short video from the day
