Registration is now open for the 2016-17 edition of the popular TRD 86 Cup, which returns to the Yas Marina Circuit for a third consecutive year.
Supported once again by Toyota Racing Development (TRD), the TRD 86 Cup is a single-make, sustainable local motorsport initiative introduced by Yas Marina Circuit in 2014 and was created to enable amateur racers to drive in a professional, competitive environment.
This year, the competition promises to be fiercer than ever with amateur and veteran racers going 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’ category.
The TRD 86 Cup will officially launch on September 2 at the UAE’s first Emirates Motorsport Expo at the Dubai Autodrome. The Expo timings in Motor City are from 14:00 to 18:00.
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 Kari AlAzhari, visit the Yas Marina Circuit stand and join in with activities on the day including rookie, workshops, passenger ride experiences and the second-hand car and bike sale.
The TRD 86 Cup will feature 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 world famous racing track.
Pre-registration for the TRD 86 Cup is also open online and those interested in doing a hot lap in the TRD 86 to get a feel for the car can do so by visiting www.yasmarinacircuit.com.
