      @Witless76 You surely haven’t played Gran Turismo for long enough: GT4 did more for rally than Dirt3 ever willl.
      @Ezekiel76 I wish we had Pikes Peak in GT… Sceptics would no doubt love rally and the hillclimb discipline after that!

    A time trial for the Toyota 86 GT. As soon as I buy a new one and make one oil change for it, it is above the limit for the trial. WTF?

  2. AnPrionsaBeag

    How I wish I owned one in real life… This car is simply gorgeous! (I hope my Fiesta’s not reading this :-p)

    1. FdkVeilside

      its that 5 spoke wheel near the very right of the wheels selection, might be a PDI one i dont remember, im wondering what the parameters set on the camera taking the picture was, colour looks amazing

  3. gtv86

    86 drift trial is bloody awesome, even playing field allround and my first time getting to 158th with 15.2k. Im pretty happy with that

      Finally! The reign of the TVR Speed 12 bourgeoisie has ended!
      Rise up proletariat! Take back what is rightfully yours! The crown shall be overthrown!

      No but seriously, this is pretty cool as I still haven’t seen a Speed 12 in my UCD. We should be seeing some new names in the top ranks.

    Still at work so don’t know but,… I thought “yes no car choise” now it realy comes to the driver. So I hope tuning is not alowed. Anyway FINALY a TSUKUBA TT. My fav. track

    1. zenator

      I used my SS Commodore, need heaps of speed so u don’t hit the wall I had to do it 5 or 6 times just to get past the first corner then the next time I made it thought all the corners and got gold.

  5. dazman

    GT-86 should be fun, although I still prefer my AE86 for drifting. That said I’ve hardly driven the GT-86 since I got it.

  6. SeaWall

    the gt86 actually is a very underpowered car toyota says it is 200hp but recent dyno says it is around 170hp and the torque curve has an unusual torque dip. i was actually looking forward about this car in real life but those numbers are very disappointing, VERY.

    1. Supermelon

      Dyno numbers are calculated at the wheel. Meaning some of the power is lost due to friction from the drivetrain.

      Take 170 and multiply back in an approx. 12-15% then you’ll find that it is about 200hp at crank.

    “Toyota 86 GT Madrid City / Reverse Drift Trial”

    Why the “Toyota 86 GT” part here? Copy/paste gone wrong? :P

  8. fotochap

    Sounds good – ditto on the lack of Speed 12s and Specials :D

    It’ll be a good opportunity to get to know the 86 – kinda got lost in all the awesome cars and updates that were added recently!

  9. ERC Racingteam

    This is one of the best drift events yet! Its nice to have an equal playing field! Not all of those Cerbera Speed 12″s!! :)

    1. MadmuppGT

      Im sure I saw you as top score for a while… I only scored a sorry, yet perfect 10’000 points… I actually like how its bang on 10’000 I dont want to try anymore haha

    2. GTAndy36

      Nah never got to top spot, got to 29th with that at the time… probably down to 300 at least by now. I would leave it at the perfect 10k if I were you… shows an extra bit of class ;) lol

    3. MadmuppGT

      Yeah, that extra class, I mean yeah I could have pulled in an easy 19’765 but as you said wheres the class :P

  10. ucwepn

    is that correct ssr7 drift trial? wtf theres like 2 corners, 86 drift trial? the thing has no power i can’t drift that lol

    1. graytotoro

      Power? All this car needs is a tire change to Comfort tires (can’t remember the exact compound I used) and it’ll go sideways faster than Herman Cain’s presidential campaign.

    2. DigitalBaka

      Ditto graytotoro. Took my stock 86 from the Tsukuba TT right into the drift trial and easily got gold. I am likely the worst drifter on GTP. :) Car seems to be a perfect fit for the course.
