THREE IN A ROW FOR TMG GT86 CUP


The first motorsport competition in the world dedicated to the TOYOTA GT86, the TMG GT86 Cup is entering its third consecutive season, pitting drivers against each other on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife.


With no significant changes to the season format following a major overhaul in 2014, the TMG-engineered GT86 CS-V3 will once again take centre stage over 10 challenging races within the VLN long-distance championship.


This year’s competition will follow last year’s formula with an overall prize fund of €86,000. The Cup winner will take home €25,000, the runner-up €18,000


and third place will secure €13,000 with other prize money divided up down to eighth place.


Last year’s contest went right down to the wire, a scintillating finale in which Arne Hoffmeister and Fabian Wrabetz won the race and claimed the Cup.
