86-Trackday-22

Our love for the Toyota 86 is well documented. Driving the RWD rockstar was the top highlight in 2012 for both me and colleague Anthony, impressing us enough to be placed No.1 in our inaugural paultan.org Top Five cars list. On that fun day out, the 86 showed its true identity as the heir to the drift icon that is the AE86, no impostors in the house.

The 86 delighted us with its perfect, race car-like seating position, steering that is feelsome and natural, its lightness and eagerness to change direction, and the control its throttle wields over the car's cornering angle. Oh, and of course, its willingness as a sideways dance partner when the itch surfaces.

More of the same on track? Not quite, as yours truly discovered another side of the 86 at a recent trackday at the Sepang International Circuit.
