What's 86CUP?


86CUP is the premier, independently organized, FRS/BRZ Time Trial series in North America. Utilizing a ruleset that is specific to the platforms, the 86CUP aims to provide a friendly, safe, environment in which 86 enthusiasts can hone their driving skills. Come join us at our events, get a ride, and experience the true capabilities of our platform in its natural environment!

With the success of previous years and a growing population, we could not help but expand and welcome new track organizers as well new supporters to 86CUP. Cusco-Winmax, GT-Radial, and CounterSpace Garage have been phenomenal to our growing needs and will continue to support the 86CUP for 2016. New for 2016 is Elite Performance, Burlingame. They have been a silent partner for a while now supporting our stock and modified FRS/BRZs with parts, installs, ECU tuning, and any other track-prep our cars need. Last but not least is 86drive, NorCal's group of enthusiasts that continue to grow from canyon carving to track driving. A few of NorCal 86CUP's regularly attendance still maintain their canyon carving prowess while letting it all hang out at an 86CUP events.

2016 also brings us two new track organizers hosting our 86CUP events! NCRC has been our father on the track and 2016 will mark our 3rd-season relationship with NCRC. Our newest addition to hosting 86CUP track days is SpeedSF. An established group, SpeedSF has some of Norcal's most experienced drivers utilizing a wide variety of performance vehicles. The next and upcoming 2016 86CUP track host is Exclusive Trackdays. They offer private trackdays with limited crowds and more track time.

86CUP was created in Southern California by a group of 86 owners and track enthusiasts. Special thanks to SoCal 86CUP for coming up with the rules and point system, and sharing it with us! We usually have several combined events each season where NorCal 86CUP meets SoCal 86CUP at the track for some friendly battles for points!


Scott Grasso started out as an 86 owner who loved to take pictures. He came out to some of our events to hang out, and eventually started taking beautiful pictures of our cars on track. He does this for fun and for the benefit of the community. Last year, Scott donated a number of photo albums and prints of our adventures on track as prizes for the end of the season. Please visit his website to see the awesome pictures that he has taken for us: http://scottgrassophotography.com/motorsportsmain. Contact Scott directly for information on purchasing pictures. Thanks, Scott!
