GR Yaris gives a Porsche 718 GT4 a run for its money on the Nürburgring!

  • Very good day to be on track, dry weather with not too much cold. Taking a friend made in the parking lot for his first quick lap around the Nürburgring with the GR Yaris. The semi-slick tires were warmed up and the brakes were also performing at their peak! Unfortunately some drivers don't know when to get out of the way despite being clearly signaled to do so. It was still nice to see the GT4 move around but I wish the driver was more respectable and would have gotten out of the way at some point. Enjoy!

      The driver may be better (or more willing to take risks) on slower corners. But the Porsche tends to be getting held up by traffic and leaves him behind on the straights.
      Flicking the hazard lights and indicators on when he has no room to let you pass is pathetic, arrogant and makes you look like a wanker…

    this reminds me of my days driving an Acura RSX Type-S at the track at Thunderhill. I was behind a stock FD RX-7 and would catch up in the turns easily. But then in the straights he would blast off, just for me to catch up again in the corners. And he refused to let me pass and ignored the point by's by the organizers. Point is, power isn't everything if all you can do is go fast in a straight line. So I love this video.

      That’s a 718 with aero, not a GT4, and you’re fully of crap because nobody on this planet, would pass up a GT4 for some stupid Toyota. You probably didn’t have the panache to even get a GT4 slot anyway. Not if you passed it up. You’d have to have tons of dough and a multi Porsche customer just to SMELL a GT4 much less pass one up. You’d would have already had several 911s to get a GT4 allocation, so no way in hell would you want some Toyota anything

I have a 718 GTS and have tracked it a few times now, yet to have a GR Yaris keep up with me and there's always a couple on track where I go. Great little car if you want something on a budget that can deliver some fun, my sister has one - doubt that'll see a track though. LOL.

    In the Porsche drivers defence, the only time he wasn't held up by traffic ahead or yellow flags himself, he pulled away from you, so he was actually faster.
    He was just driving with consideration for others seeing as there seemed to be a LOT of other traffic on the road (yes road, it's a toll road during none race days).

    • @vbkngx
      @vbkngx Рік тому +3

      It's pretty clear most of the commenters didn't actually watch the video through. Every time the Porsche got a clear air run it would pull away comfortably. The Yaris got close in a couple of the corners but it'd fall off on exit and wasn't faster overall. If the drivers had inverted with the Yaris moving in front, and the same commenters were to see the Porsche onboard, they'd be complaining about the Yaris driver instead.
      When there's traffic up ahead there's not a lot you can do. The Porsche driver wasn't blocking the Yaris, the traffic was blocking them both.
      The Yaris driver complaining about the Porsche in the subtitles shows his lack of appreciation for basic etiquette, not the Porsche's.

The GT4 gets round that track 45s quicker than the Yaris (in the hands of great drivers) - very impressive for the Yaris obviously to be only 45s slower
