Advanced driving course - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

tm86 · 04-22-2013, 05:19 AM

The thread started by light got me thinking...

How about we group together and propose to Toyota SA that all 86 owners get a day of skid pan and track experience

* It would be a great way to promote the brand
* Safer/skilled 86 drivers would reduce the chances of fatal accidents - Toyota wouldn't want the 86 to be known as a "widow maker"

Good idea! I was at their driving academy the other day and one of teh guys from Toyota seemed keen on the idea/

isnotmyfault · 04-22-2013, 05:58 AM

I'm up for that

Vic_RSA · 04-22-2013, 06:35 AM

I think it would be a great idea - my one skidpan outing revealed how unforgiving these cars can be, and that there is so much more to be learn't...

RueFT86 · 04-22-2013, 06:41 AM

I'm also keen on this.

sounds like a great idea. waiting for the skidpan event next weekend but im dead certain, i need alot of help learning about her.

Theres a few places that offer it but most dont offer "in your car training", either that or i've been reading wrong.

Im keen on joining in on a course, heres hoping.

JouMaSeHoes · 04-22-2013, 06:58 AM

That's the idea mate but the difference here is a sponsored TSA event for 86ers.

Next step is to contact some TSA employee to help make this happen. Preferably someone on the same wavelength as Tada San.

If you have that kind of contacts mate, I'd be there like a bear

Get a hold of Leo Kok. I've spoken to him via Twitter and he seems to be a bit a of a petrolhead. I think he is in the events department.
