GR86 Cup Malaysia 2026

The GR86 Cup Malaysia is a one-make motorsport championship featuring specially prepared Toyota GR86 race cars competing on the same circuit.

Unlike championships where teams use different car models and performance packages, the GR86 Cup puts drivers behind closely matched machinery built to the same racing specifications.

This makes driving ability, consistency and race strategy especially important. Small differences in braking points, cornering speed and lap times can determine who takes the chequered flag.

The championship is held at Sepang International Circuit, offering motorsport enthusiasts an opportunity to experience competitive circuit racing in Malaysia.

According to championship tyre partner Bridgestone, the inaugural series features 22 racers competing for the championship title.

The GR86 Cup Malaysia follows a circuit racing format where drivers compete in similarly prepared Toyota GR86 cars.

Racing takes place at Sepang International Circuit, with drivers needing to perform consistently throughout the race weekend to achieve competitive results.

A typical race weekend involves several important stages:

With closely matched cars, drivers cannot rely on major differences in vehicle performance to gain an advantage.

Instead, success often comes down to precision, maintaining a consistent pace, understanding tyre grip and reacting quickly to changing race conditions.

The championship uses Bridgestone POTENZA RE-71RS tyres across its entries, providing a common tyre platform for competitors.

For Winbox Racing, the challenge is to make every session count while continuing to develop our performance throughout the season.

Every racing team has a car that becomes part of its identity. For Winbox Racing, that car is Rexy.

Our #50 Toyota GR86 represents the team in the 2026 GR86 Cup Malaysia, with Rahul Raj Mayer and Adele Lew sharing the entry.

Built around Toyota's lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car platform, the GR86 offers the responsive handling and driver-focused characteristics that make it well suited to circuit racing.

The championship uses specially prepared Toyota GR86 cars built to standardised race-ready specifications.

Behind Rexy's performance is the work that takes place throughout a race weekend, from checking vehicle condition to understanding driver feedback and making the most of each session.

As the season progresses, Rexy remains at the centre of our GR86 Cup Malaysia journey.

Behind Rexy's steering wheel are two Malaysian drivers with different racing backgrounds, each bringing valuable experience to the team.

The 2026 season has already brought an encouraging milestone for Winbox Racing.

During the 24–26 July race weekend at Sepang International Circuit, our #50 Toyota GR86 secured a first-place finish in Class O and second place overall in Race 2.

Rahul Raj Mayer was also credited with a fastest lap of 2:35.737 during the event.

Finishing first in class while securing second overall marked an important early achievement for our GR86 Cup campaign.

It also showed how closely contested races can reward consistent driving and strong execution throughout the weekend.

As we continue competing, we'll share our latest race results, driver performances and key moments from each event.

All rounds of the inaugural GR86 Cup Malaysia take place at Sepang International Circuit, one of Southeast Asia's best-known motorsport venues.

With a combination of fast straights, technical corners and demanding braking zones, Sepang presents challenges that can make every race weekend unpredictable.

Our calendar brings together confirmed events, race dates and updates so fans can follow Winbox Racing throughout the season.

What happens on the racetrack is only one part of a race weekend.

Before the cars line up on the starting grid, plenty of work goes into preparing drivers, reviewing vehicle performance and getting everything ready for the next session.

For our GR86 Cup programme, preparation involves several important areas:

Both Rahul and Adele bring different racing experiences to this process.

Rahul has competed in international single-seater and endurance championships, while Adele has developed her racing skills through Toyota's driver programme and international touring-car competition.

Together, their backgrounds contribute to the team's continuing development in the GR86 Cup Malaysia.

Beyond race results, we also share moments from the paddock, driver preparations and life around the #50 Toyota GR86, giving fans a closer look at our racing journey.
