If you search for 2022 Toyota GR86 on Google, literally the very first result you’ll get will tell you the sports car is “Track proven. Street ready.” It turns out, however, that not every 2022 GR86 is prepared from the factory to be driven on a closed course. At least, this is what one GR86 owner learned the hard way just recently.
The guy who prefers to go by just Luke took his experience with the Japanese coupe to Reddit and posted a video on YouTube, which shows him behind the steering wheel during a track session at Palmer Motorsports Park this past Sunday. As you can see from the footage for yourself, Luke wasn’t really pushing the vehicle anywhere near its limits and was going for what we would describe as a warmup lap. Unfortunately, strange noises started coming from the engine compartment around the 6:00-minute mark of the video.
