The second generation of the Toyota GR86 brought the nameplate back to GT300 competition in a new chassis form, and the 2024 season marked its continued development under the joint effort of Muta Racing and Inging Motorsport. Spark Model has documented this campaign with a 1:43 scale model that slots squarely into the dedicated SGT collector series. For those who follow the GT300 grid closely, car number 2 is a precise reference point for a season defined by a strong young driver pairing and a distinctive commercially-backed livery.
The GR86 GT: Toyota's ZN8 Platform in GT300 Trim
The Toyota GR86 GT is the GT300-specification racing derivative of the second-generation GR86, based on the ZN8 platform. Unlike Mother Chassis entries in the GT300 field, the GR86 GT competes as a manufacturer-entered GT machine built to GT300 regulations, giving it a distinct technical identity within the class. The racing version adapts the GR86's architecture for circuit competition under GT300 regulations.
Number 2: Muta Inging and a Full Season in GT300
GT Team Muta Inging Racing is a collaboration between Muta Racing and the established Inging Motorsport squad. Muta, a watch and accessories brand, brings a commercial identity that gives the car's livery a recognisable visual character on a crowded GT300 grid. Yuui Tsutsumi and Hibiki Taira formed the driver pairing across the full 2024 SUPER GT season, making this a consistent, season-long programme rather than a one-off entry. SUPER GT itself is Japan's premier GT series, with rounds held across the country in front of significant domestic audiences.
Spark Model's SGT Series: Systematic 1:43 Scale Coverage
Spark Model produces an annual series of official 1:43 scale model replicas covering the SUPER GT grid, with SGT-coded references specific to Japanese GT releases. This 1:43 scale model reproduces the #2 GR86 GT in the livery run by GT Team Muta Inging Racing during the 2024 season. Spark Model's SGT range is the most thorough systematic coverage of the SUPER GT field in this scale, making individual entries straightforward to identify and acquire for grid-completist collectors.
In the Display Cabinet: Building a 2024 GT300 Grid
The #2 Muta Inging GR86 GT pairs naturally with other Spark Model 2024 SUPER GT GT300 entries — the Honda NSX GT, Subaru BRZ GT300 and Mercedes-AMG GT3 among them — to build a representative cross-section of the class. On the GT500 side, Spark Model's 2024 Toyota GR Supra entries make logical companions. For those tracing the GR86 GT's competition history, earlier Spark SGT editions from the 2022 and 2023 seasons document the model's progression across generations of the platform.
