How Toyota Created The Perfect Driver’s Car
The Toyota Yaris GR started as a rally-bred machine developed for Toyota's return to the World Rally Championship in 2017. Designed with a bespoke chassis, a surprisingly light all-wheel-drive system, and a punchy three cylinder engine, it was built to meet WRC's stringent regulations. These rally-inspired features translated exceptionally well to road use, resulting in a compact, powerful car with exceptional handling. The Yaris GR quickly became celebrated as a perfect driver's car, combining thrilling performance with everyday practicality.

As a past and current WRC fan i have to say you cant help but love toyota. All of thier classic and retro rally cars are loved and the modern rally one yaris is truly something to behold. Plus toyotas lineup of drivers is easily the most likeable with sebastien ogier, elfyn evans and kalle rovanpera who are all great people and drivers. I used to feel mixed about toyota cars but ever since i started following the wrc i cant help but love them. Good video!

Yaris gr makes me want to forgive Toyota for the celica gt four wrc cheating.

@fromfareastindy8234 17 күн бұрын

@@dpaterson42 Fun fact: The FIA's investigative committee that examined the Celica GT 4's tampering described the mechanism as "so advanced and so new that you can't help but marvel at the technology and new ideas. Although it was a serious fraud, the method was so clever that the FIA engineers were astonished. At the same time, Toyota, which accepted the punishment, also took the cheating very seriously and suspended its participation in the WRC for a longer period than the penalty handed down by the FIA. This sincere attitude is highly appreciated by WRC fans outside Japan, and is one of the reasons why Toyota's return to the WRC has been received so favorably. (In Japan, there are many people who originally have an aversion to motorsports, and their reactions were different from those of WRC fans in Western countries, partly because they could not read the FIA reports in other languages correctly.) Cheating in motorsports is a combination of innovative ideas from engineers who exploit loopholes in the rules. Motor sports fans should understand that such problems are a common occurrence in the fierce competition.

I've owned a lot of cars in my 40 odd years of driving hot cars but my GR rallye (bang for buck) tops them all BECAUSE you can have fun driving it 1) In any weather dry or wet 2) On any road smooth or rough 3) Fast or slow

Kalle Rovanperä being a factory driver makes a lot of sense. as a privateer team it would be really hard to be able to compete with that, as they can just break parts and replace them with no remorse to secure the title. It's a different form of racing

they build 3 of those 2021 GR Yaris WRC cars, there's a video about those cars on DirtFish youtube channel. I think it's the wildest looking Yaris rally car ever build, those Rally1 hybrids don't have all that crazy aero anymore

Definitely different, but the diffuser and rear wing are still huge lol almost comical looking especially on the Hyundai. I personally think it's the best looking car on the grid with that low nose.
