I've been taking my GR86 to tracks for some time now.
Still having an issue to match revs when down shifting.
Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket automatic rev matching for manual GR86?
Thank you.

If the throttle hang on these cars is screwing you up, try turning off the hill start assist... oddly, it does actually seem to make a difference at speed. Not sure if Subaru did that intentionally for some reason, or if it's just sloppy engineering. Haven't had much issue rev-matching on the track with that turned off.

As for products to auto blip, I am aware of this, but don't have any experience with it: Subaru/Toyota - Blip Module

Installing a throttle pedal extender helped me tremendously, since I can just rotate my ankle to use the side of my foot rather than rotate my entire foot to use my heel to downshift.

Something similar to this

I would try one of these first since it's gonna be a lot cheaper than a tune

My tune through Delicious Tuning using Ecutek has a throttle blip mode that can be used. It is not a real rev match, but simply a blip to get you in the ballpark.
Im not a fan of using driver aids. You are track driving because you want to hone your skills right? Dont use a crutch\handicap. Keep practicing or make some mods (like the pedal spacer mentioned) to help you dial in your technique. To me having the car do the work isnt skill building. Its cheating.
