Time for Tea? BRZ and GT-86 take on MX-5

Of course, what you really want to know is whether the Toyota or the Subaru is fastest...

We thought that Japanese motoring video series Best Motoring was dead and buried, but we couldn't be more glad to have been proven wrong.

How so? Well, although it's not under the Best Motoring banner, Tsuchiya-san and friends are back, and the perfect subject for the return of our occasional 'Time for Tea' displacement activity video feature.

Their chosen weapons for this particular three-lap battle of the East Course at Motegi in Japan are the Mazda MX-5, Toyota GT-86 and Subaru BRZ. The MX-5, of course, succumbs to the Toyobaru pair, but the real intrigue is whether the BRZ or GT-86, which we now know to be more or less identical on price, can come out on top.

We won't spoil the video by giving you the result of that particular contest... you'll just have to make yourself a cup of the hot caffeinated stuff, sit back, and click 'play' to find out...
