Supported by Toyota Racing Development (TRD), the TRD 86 Cup is a single-make, sustainable motorsport initiative introduced by Yas Marina Circuit in 2014.
It was created in a bid to enable amateur racers to drive in a professional, competitive environment.
This year, amateur and veteran racers will go head-to-head across two categories; Gold and Silver. Those with previous experience can sign up for the ‘Gold’ category, with novices driving in the ‘Silver’ equivalent.
The TRD 86 Cup will officially launch on September 2 at the UAE’s first Emirates Motorsport Expo at the Dubai Autodrome.
As well as being able to sign up for the TRD 86 Cup, visitors to the Motorsport Expo will be able to hear from reigning TRD 86 super champion Karim Al Azhari, visit the Yas Marina Circuit stand and join in a number of activities.
The TRD 86 Cup will run across six race dates from October until April next year and allows those who have dreamed of professional racing to lead their very own race team in real competition at the home of Formula One’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Pre-registration for the TRD 86 Cup is also open online and those interested doing a hot lap in the TRD 86 to get a feel for the car can do so by visiting www.yasmarinacircuit.com.
