In partnership with Stereo. Download Stereo and join me for my next live show here: stereo.com/u/r21686FPvo0jZ21
My next show with Yianni will be at 18.30 GMT Tue 6th April.
In this video I wanted to see which was the easiest and most fun car to drive on a short technical circuit - rear-wheel-drive, front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive. So I lined up the new BMW M2 CS, Toyota GR Yaris and Ford Fiesta ST edition. And of course I also launched them to see how quick they are from 0-60mph and over the quarter mile.

@rotorblade9508 3 жыл бұрын

It does that because the suspension setup is not ideal for racing, it should rather roll and keep the wheels on the ground. The roll center and cg are high. Also rear grip is good because there is lower weight on the back, and front grip is lower because of that. So in combination with that it lifts the wheel

Isn't the M2 CS on pilot sport cup 2's which are about 1-2 seconds faster than pilot sport 4s's on the Yaris just because of the tyre? So if the tyre is the same, the Yaris and M2 CS would have the same time roughly? I'm mightly disappointed by the M2 CS if that's the case.

@BensCoffeeRants 2 жыл бұрын

They're both great tires, I see a lot of people do this, it basically gives you the out out of the box / new / stock car results. You could swap to a stickier tire, but then it's like, ok, maybe it would lose a few more seconds with better brake pads, now you're adding a tune for your upgraded intercooler and bigger turbo and it's not representative of what you get when you buy the car in the stock form :D

I liked the Stock brakes for light track use, they're super grippy on the roads, a bit aggressive which suits the cars Fiesty nature, but pretty bad in the winter /snow if you wanna avoid triggering the ABS (super annoying and counter productive, I wish you could easily disable ABS, especially with those brakes).
