New year, new look. We’re ready to bring back the party on track to the 86 and BRZ crowd on track in 2026!!

2026 86Cup will feature potentially ELEVEN rounds! At the moment, we have 9 rounds confirmed, 1 of which will feature our frenemies to the north in NorCal 86Challenge bringing the fight to hallowed grounds at Buttonwillow Classic 13CW in September.

The schedule also sees the 86Cup community make another trek out of state to Nevada at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Outside Road Course on Saturday, April 18th. We hope to see a bunch of our southwestern friends who usually don’t get to make it out to California events join us here. LVMS ORC is an extremely challenging track to nail down perfectly right, throwing even the most experienced 86Cup drivers in for a loop.

Registration for ALL events confirmed so far for 2026 on this schedule posted above will be with our good friends in Speed Ventures, who for some reason still put up with our shenanigans after all these years.

Registration for 2026 86Cup Round 1 on February 21st at Streets of Willow CW is now currently open to the public. There are several competitions occurring this day while also being a very beginner-friendly track so we recommend you sign up now before it’s too late!

Also, we should note that cabins for the weekend of March 14th at Chuckwalla are currently sold out. We always try our best to release the schedule as soon as possible for this possibility but much like tracking your cars, there is ALWAYS someone faster. Chuckwalla cabins for the weekend of November 21st and 22nd for some of our final rounds are still wide open at the time of writing this post. We still recommend reserving a cabin as soon as possible if you’d like to stay at the track. They’re really nice and it’s super convenient to just wake up at the track day of! You may look into renting a cabin HERE.

That’s it for our announcements for 2026 at the moment! We should have some very exciting news coming up shortly in regards to sponsors and rules in the coming weeks! The 86Cup admins are also planning our 2025 Awards Celebration as well, so look forward to that as well.

We’ll see you soon! Happy New Year!!
