Behind the Wheel of Rexy, Our #50 Toyota GR86

Meet Rexy, the #50 Toyota GR86 representing Winbox Racing in the 2026 GR86 Cup Malaysia.

Driven by Rahul Raj Mayer and Adele Lew, Rexy is at the centre of the team's GR86 Cup campaign.

As a one-make racing championship, the GR86 Cup features closely matched Toyota GR86 race cars. This puts greater emphasis on driver technique, consistency, braking precision and the ability to perform under race conditions.

For both drivers, the championship offers an opportunity to put their racing experience to the test against a competitive field.

How Do Our Drivers Prepare for Race Day?

A race weekend involves far more than getting behind the wheel when the starting lights go out.

Drivers need to understand the circuit, adapt to changing conditions and work closely with their teams throughout practice, qualifying and racing.

Both Rahul and Adele have gained experience through different forms of race preparation.

Rahul's background in karting and single-seater racing introduced him to competitive racecraft, vehicle control and the demands of international motorsport.

For Adele, preparation began with simulator training, practising racing lines and braking points, and learning from experienced coaches during her Toyota GAZOO Racing development programme.

Those foundations remain relevant as both drivers compete in the GR86 Cup Malaysia, where small improvements in lap time and consistency can make a difference.
