Haven’t played Gran Turismo in a while? Better dust off the game, your PlayStation, and all other equipment you have, and start practicing. Toyota has announced that there will be a new event coming soon to Gran Turismo Sport – the Toyota Gazoo Racing GT Cup 2021. Unlike before, you won’t just be using the GR Supra this time around. Instead, you’ll be driving some of the GR models to date. Included in that list is the all-new GR 86, but more on that later.

Toyota Corona Coupe ‘Macho Machine’
Though the car is already 40-years old by now, nearly every car nut worth his salt knows what a ‘Macho Machine’ is. It was the nickname given to the ’79-‘82 Toyota Corona Coupe. Being a new and rather unfamiliar model at the time, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) opted to use the star power of then Philippine Basketball Association legend, Robert Jaworski, to market the car. To make it easier to remember, it was promoted with the nickname, Macho Machine, in commercials and promotional paraphernalia. Needless to say, it worked, and the car is known more today by its nickname than its longer, unremarkable actual name.
