You had the M3 stressing!! He was thinking twice about having passed you and over drove that corner! Your sitting there, race experience, cool as a cucumber. It is a beautiful sight to see and a reminder the calmest driver has the edge!
Possibly had to pause to collect their pants, after drifting 2-3 corners previously, and decided to bow out, respectfully! They definitely outmatched in power, but driver skill was not quite the same!
That interior is the most polarizing thing i've seen in a while. I totally hated it, then looked at it again and kinda love it. I stil have mixed feelings but i would have to see it in person to decide.@@electrikoptik
Gr Yaris has crazy grip with AR1'S It's been a while since I've seen such a full throttle lap, a stage 1 tune at least could even out the power to grip ratio a bit more in this case
The fact that you can get a used one for $33k here in Malaysia, it is for sure a very tempting car. And we have Sepang track here. Hope I can get one soon.
5:04 mini cooper driber trying peacefully master a corner using all the track when Misha was like *Nah, i ain't wasting this speed because of that* 😂😂😂😂
the GR Yaris is truly impressive, even with a passenger onboard! That E92 owner is something else, absolutely relentless in how he throw his car around corners. But the all-wheel-drive system of the Yaris shows no mercy, especially on the twisty corners of the Nürburgring. The E92 didnt stand a chance lol, especially with a skilled driver like Misha behind the wheel.
The 2024 version will get the 300hp version of the 3-cyl, though Europe will get the 280hp instead.. (probably because of some emissions stuff or something like that)
I absolutely love that car, and the newest version makes me wanna buy one. Although, I live in France, and for the same price i could buy a used F82 M4 CS...
@@alexlam24I know that, I own an m240i with the B58. Parts are expansive, but i also used to own a GT86, and buying parts directly at Toyota isn't really much cheaper than BMW...
i always thought would never ever consider buy a 3 banger engine, thats why i got a type r, but man, those Gr Yaris are almost impossible not to love them, are fast, powerful, good looking, and questionning myself if looking for one in the near future or not 🤣🤣🤣. Cheers everyone!!!
I like the two-footed traction control. Wish I could do it. But I have a fused left ankle, so no left-foot braking for me, sadly. Lots and lots of heel-n-toe, though! :)
yea pedal placement is bad for heel and toe, i usually do it myself on most of my cars but i don't do it in the Yaris and yes the iMT has been excellent for me so far, the faster you go the better it gets. basically the faster you go the whole car gets better.
8:50 m3 regretting passing a bit i think haha Misha please get a better setup for the footcam, feels like it falls off more often than not and its never really been an 'issue', but the lucky streak will run out.
im worried about their safety, like if the loose cam falls and gets under the pedals. i love seeing his inputs but i would be fine with not having foot cam for the sake of safety
1:45 maybe cause Nothern Europe people are 7-10 cm taller on average. I’m 188cm/ 6‘2“foot and I have problems with any Toyota build in the 00s except the Avensis. Sad that you can’t cut them down due to the TÜV.
I have and love my GR Yaris. All I can say is imagine if this 3 cylinder was a 4 cylinder... Everyone is comparing it to 4 and 6 cylinder cars, it would literally demolish everything. Akio, if you read this comment, please please please give this little 3 cylinder engine a 4 cylinder big brother.
Why does it need 4 cylinders? The 2025 GR Yaris has 304hp for most of the world and can be upgraded to much higher outputs. There are so many 4cyl cars, it’s nice to have something unique and different.
The recepie for amazing ownership of original GR Yaris is simple, you need to be about 166 or less cm tall 😂 I have no problem with sitting position in the lowest setting, Passenger seat is even worse it is taller and has no height adjustment.They did made changes with facelift and it suppose to be better, but now the price is something else 😢 Nice lap Misha!
Ok but honestly the cooling solution seems really impressive, coolant temp didn't even flinch, I wonder what about oil temp. The car felt like a pocket rocket, slow acceleration but felt like it maintains the speed with ease.
I believe the Yaris seats have to be mounted that high for crash testing. I am not a Toyota engineer, but it was brought up in Matt Watson's coverage of the newer version. The new ones have a slightly lower position apparently - again I really have no idea I am american and couldn't get a GR Corrola if my life depended on it.
@@tinhinnh I'd love to find out. I've seen the car in person - it's pretty small. I imagine if an X5 or X7 BMW hit one of these, the higher seat would make the impact and airbag deployment more "survivable".
I must say ive been fortunate enough to have being able to drive the yaris gsr turbo all wheel drive and it was absolutely amazing it felt like totally grippy and the powers and sounds where incredible not only that ive also had the fortune of driving the Toyota supra gsr and let me tell you it also was truly amazing its something i can say when im old i gave both them beauties the heavy right foot 😂😂😂😂
3 cylinder track weapon. Crazy grip. Nice lap and nice build
You had the M3 stressing!! He was thinking twice about having passed you and over drove that corner! Your sitting there, race experience, cool as a cucumber. It is a beautiful sight to see and a reminder the calmest driver has the edge!
From my long experience in sim-racing, I think that is very true.
Stress can mess up your driving skills something fierce.
In Russian we say in such cases: “If you can’t shit, don’t torture your ass”
Possibly had to pause to collect their pants, after drifting 2-3 corners previously, and decided to bow out, respectfully! They definitely outmatched in power, but driver skill was not quite the same!
2024 Yaris GR has lowered seats, higher positioned back mirror and lots of upgrades, but yes, for even a higher price.
this
And more power and a cool retro interior.
That interior is the most polarizing thing i've seen in a while. I totally hated it, then looked at it again and kinda love it. I stil have mixed feelings but i would have to see it in person to decide.@@electrikoptik
interior looks realy old. U have to like it..
Indeed retro interior plus an automatic gearbox option!!
You could see how proud of the GR the owner was and the admiration for Misha’s driving in his face.
10:43 You know it gets serious when Misha starts to make that face
Came here to post it. Nothing better than when the actual competitive side shows up, that's when you see the real driving.
A point had to be proven. Wish we had the rear cam to watch the gappening.
@@solocamo3654 i also noticed and came to post the same thing xD loved it !
Seen the expression changed and bolted to the comments 😅
When Misha is dead silent, look out...
this thing costs 100k in france lmao, what a time to be a car enthusiast
WHAT?!
Really?! Wow! Used examples start from £25k in the UK...

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks to the owner!
same, super sick car + vid
for sale: 410hp+ V8 M3 or Swaps for 3cylinder GR Yaris.
I just went the other way haha
😂😂😂😂💔Bro No!
I dont think that There are any logical Owners of GR Yaris swapping them for a BMW :)
@@Tripokaridos22 yeh lol missed a nice sound and having the top down. Both would be the perfect combo tbh
One of the best laps lately.
confess:
I loved the videos when you start to compete with someone. M3 battle brings so much fun. thanks for the video dude.
You could see on Misha's face he really got into it as well.
I liked the rear camera. Please bring it back. It gives a better race feeling.
You told that red car WHAT!
YESS, rear cam opens up the perspective so much, you can be immersed in the video because you can check your mirrors whenever you want xD
This is the comment I came for. This video would’ve been 1000% better with a rear camera
The fact that you can get a used one for $33k here in Malaysia, it is for sure a very tempting car. And we have Sepang track here. Hope I can get one soon.
Fantastic drive by Misha, what a great little machine.
Peter Griffin was stressing 😂 the Mish had it all under control!
Thanks for the video Misha, really enjoyed this one. Always appreciate your technical explanations post videos I learn so much!!

You might want to check out the Speed Engineering seat mounts for GR Yaris, they go down a bit between the towers
Link?
@@Cernunn0s90 not sure if a link will work, but you could google "speed engineering gr yaris sitzkonsole"
Great driving , great control
Bravo as usual biglad you are an absolute animal and seem to love the GR, and the owner, what a cool cat
Best car of automotive sector of the decade
What a weapon this thing is, the suspension and the AR1s make it perfectly planted
8:51 That M3 had some oversteer moment there got me scared for a second lol
3 banger bangin' the big boy track
The new one seems to have solved that seating position problem
Marco seems really cool guy ! Misha i really enjoy this lap thanks !
Amazing content. Thanks again. Love the GR Yaris, Homologation cars are epic.
Man and machine in perfect harmony
Damn, very well executed driving misha! Good work! 👍
Misha you are correct TC is not fully off! however you need to do the pedal dance to fully deactivate it! very good lap.
You just hold down the TC button for 5 seconds instead of pressing it and you see Expert mode disappear.
Amazing!!! Not a fan of the 3 cylinders but when Misha drives them..... joy all over the track!!!
How much faster would that lap have been with 100kgs lesson the passenger seat?
So fun to watch Misha go into his race mode. I thought it was funny to see his shifts become quicker.
That thing corners like it's on rails! What a great lap.

But the all-wheel-drive system of the Yaris shows no mercy, especially on the twisty corners of the Nürburgring.

& also power to weight ratio matters too!
Que buen piloto es misha, exprime cualquier coche al máximo, da gusto verlo
Best lap I have ever watched on Misha's UA-cam
Misha you’re a madman!!!!!!!!! Absolutely love it!!!!!!
Really potent car ! 50 more hp and it whould be a serious track weapon !
Nice setup ! God job Owner 👍
The 2024 version will get the 300hp version of the 3-cyl, though Europe will get the 280hp instead.. (probably because of some emissions stuff or something like that)
you can adjust camber in Yaris much more than 2 with whiteline upper screw
As someone in the states, its nice to see other area of the ‘ring so thanks for keeping the camera on
Misha really got on it when that BMW passed him and showed his racecraft, but also how good the GR Yaris is with some baseline performance mods.
what a nice guy the owner
One of the most intence laps!!!!!!
I absolutely love that car, and the newest version makes me wanna buy one. Although, I live in France, and for the same price i could buy a used F82 M4 CS...
BMW parts prices are quite a lot €€ than Toyota ones which you should consider.
@@alexlam24I know that, I own an m240i with the B58. Parts are expansive, but i also used to own a GT86, and buying parts directly at Toyota isn't really much cheaper than BMW...
This has probably been brought up before but I would love a rear cam view.
"Go, go, go" - and the other dude is trying his best with the momentum that is there, but Misha not really letting 😄

I like the corrola aswell
This thing drives like it’s on rails. Lovely 👍🏼👍🏼🥳
its rare to say it but the only thing the car needed is a little more power, such a balanced car
M3: defeated! Jokes aside, this little Yaris has physics defying levels of grip. What a staggering little machine.
I like the two-footed traction control.
Wish I could do it. But I have a fused left ankle, so no left-foot braking for me, sadly. Lots and lots of heel-n-toe, though! :)
Great lap as always!
Why no heel-and-toe? Is the iMT system good? Is the pedal placement very uncomfortable for heel-and-toe?
both answer are yes from my experience. I use heel&toe on older cars, but not in my gr yaris on track.
yea pedal placement is bad for heel and toe, i usually do it myself on most of my cars but i don't do it in the Yaris and yes the iMT has been excellent for me so far, the faster you go the better it gets. basically the faster you go the whole car gets better.
Plus one to those guys above ⬆️ imt is nice and pedals are not.
I hope we get more rear view cam instead of feet cam in the future. Much more enjoyable to watch in my opinion.
Misha mode engaged when red beemer passes 👀
I love that it's always sunny there
I love everything about this car.😊
Whoa, some nice crowds here today! What fun!
Fantastic drive. Really impressive stuff

😱😱😱THE CORNERING KILLED
This a video example of the difference on fitting on a track seat vs not. Btw harnesses make the difference
The battle with the red BMW was Amazing!
Die Seiten sind frisch, der Frühling kann kommen!
if anyone has a Lamspeed turbo kit GR Yairs please give it to mish to lap the ring 🙏
What are your thoughts on the pandem kit? To me it looks cool as a diecast model but are the added effects negligible in real life?
Super enjoyable lap ❤
13:04 - hilarious that here in America that would barely bat an eye
Driving like your life depends on it, f**king love it!!
1:45 maybe cause Nothern Europe people are 7-10 cm taller on average. I’m 188cm/ 6‘2“foot and I have problems with any Toyota build in the 00s except the Avensis. Sad that you can’t cut them down due to the TÜV.

Ist immer wieder witzig , wenn die Besitzer der Wagen sehen was man mit ihren Auto so alles machen kann 😮
I really like those "small" cars especially since the Yaris is also in WRC
Bro litterally sounds like Ohnepixel. The german accent makes it sooo perfekt haha
I love ❤ all the moments that Misha started to battle with the amateur driver of the M3 😂
Why is that an amateur driver?
@@Toyota4Life потому что он теряется в поворотах, а смотря на спидометр ему становится страшно)

Een heerlijk rondje met de GR Yaris.
Nice to see eddie the eagle back in the game 👍
What happened to the M3?
Brake fade>
tyres too hot, lost grip?
engine issue?
12:03 someone was utterly wounded xD Totally compensating in that M3 confirmed.
Would the corolla GR be similar to handling?
Dude, that was pretty intense
Need to up the boost to spruce up that engine. Its kinda slow especially for the capabilities of the chassis .
Klaus loves the purple knobs for sure!!!
