Has anyone here been racing a Yaris?

Don't all pile on defending the G40, but I reckon this guy's been racing a GT not a G40...

All i can say is that after reading some of the posts on that page -

                 

                       "I wish i had a Yaris!!"

iv driven a brand new yaris ts, and trust me it is no where near as
fast as a g (a modified one at least).
a yaris ts is a glorified granny wagon!

Hmm, he's insisting it was a G40 because he could hear it whine. From behind the car. I've got toothed belts, but all you can hear when I'm ragging my car is the exhaust. It's only when you're stood next to the bonnet that you can hear the supercharger. The only cars you can hear whining from are Eaton charged ones, and they'd slay a Yaris on half throttle.

Sorted, think the general consensus is that it's not a G now :)

We're building one at the moment - the UK's first FF drift car. I'm in charge of the project so always interested to see what the forums think!



It's not just some gimmick, we've got Fensport, Sumo Power and Jemca Toyota to sort the engine (1.0 turbo!) and chassis (TRD catalogue). It's with Perkins Automotive in Solihull at the moment having the bodywork sorted, carbon fibre roof panel made and the roll cage built. Then it's having a respray and getting liveried up.

They'd picked up on it but hadn't actually updated the thread in ages, so I registered to fill them in on the latest.
