Of course he had chances to drive AE86 race cars tuned by other shops, but not TRD - because they didn't let him. Back in the 80s, a racer with a background like Tsuchiya was not considered "legit" - His career started off as a street/touge racer, and hadn't gone to any professional driving school. TRD, a Toyota related motorsports company just couldn't allow that kind of person to drive their best race car. However, things have changed after 20 years. Toyota/TRD is hiring variety of drivers with different backgrounds, and also, Tsuchiya succeeded as a true, professional race car driver. At age of 50+, Tsuchiya finally has chance to drive the TRD AE86. With that car, Tsuchiya battled with other top amateur AE86 drivers - Drivers who grew up seeing Tsuchiya make legends, drivers who devoted all of their life and money to battle with him someday, and dreams to win. So it's not just Drift King driving another AE86, but it's an once-in-a-lifetime event for AE86 drivers who gathered at Tsukuba that day.
