Hi y'all, Scott here (the presenter). Thanks for the many comments, it's certainly generated some discussion. Many asking why we didn't swap the tyres over between the cars. The first reason is because we were limited on time, the second more important one is I didn't even think of it, because it became clear from the first corner that focusing on the tyres is burying the lede. The Rallye handles completely differently because of its diffs. Yes the time difference would have been much less if we'd swapped tyres (let's say the Rallye goes a second slower and the GR a second quicker for a 1.4sec difference) but the Rallye is just so much more adjustable and enjoyable. It would still be fun but with less grip (maybe that would make it MORE fun!), whereas the GR would still be inherently compromised, albeit faster. But also, feedback noted and if we do a video like this again we'll be sure to swap tyres!
@Dave-gl6jb3 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate. Love to see a second video showing the pros and cons of both cars. Like a long drive on some Aussie roads and end with some track fun. PS In the end us base GR owners know the Rallye is a better track weapon but for the road a base with better tyres is enough for most of us with our driving skills.😎
@tarche23 жыл бұрын
Why would you swap the tyres? The tyres are what came with the model. Swapping the tyres is like swapping the suspension, wheels and diffs then testing the same car against itself. The rally/circuit pack has all those different parts so needs to be compared with how it comes out for s true test if the extra money is warranted.

Yeah look, this is pretty lazy journalism. Stating that "the extra mods on the Rallye are absolutely worth the price" when you haven't run the comparison between the two cars using the same PS4S tyres on both is fundamentally flawed. Putting a set of PS4S on the GRY would cost around $1,000. This will likely make up 3/4 of the time difference you experienced between both cars as delivered from factory. This means the differentials, wheels, and suspension are responsible for significantly less of the difference, while making up significantly more of the price. Do the same test with both cars running the same PS4S tyres with everything else being stock, then compared the times and see if the price difference between the GRY And the GR Rallye (minus the cost of tyres) is "absolutely worth the price". My guess? It isn't.

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how good you've got it. The Fiesta ST in the UK is $10,000(Oz) more in the UK. The new price for the basic GR is $7,000 more.

Great to see the comparison on the same day/track. The suspension and tyre seem to control the Rallye front end far better. Tyres are the most important factor, but they won't change the attitude of the car regardless of how close it gets to a Rallye. The 'base' model at $55k makes the Rallye a no brainer; but the $40k launch price vs $56k comparison is the real calculation. Basically a question of if you want a mild Yaris, a road/track Yaris or you want a track Yaris. The latter of the three is probably best achieved by getting the cheapest car and suits people who like to modify things. You'll also have change for a year of track days. Standard GRY boys are a bit salty, but shouldn't be. They also shouldn't be kidding themselves that tyres will solve all things.

@rob105motorsport3 жыл бұрын
@@Dave-gl6jb Cheers. I think the hardest part about a comparison is that it'll be heavily dependent on the track. The Rallye is about 1.5-2s faster with a pro at the wheel at my closest circuit (109.9 vs 111.4). But, it's far more open than the hillclimb in this video. One thing that's interesting is everybody being fixated on times. I wonder how many people will really be held back by the limits of the standard GRY even with the Funlop tyres and (safe) understeer. The base GRY (or Fiesta ST if you've seen the Piston Heads comparison) may be a far better proposition for most with a greater residual budget to get out and use it. Then you can upgrade components/car once you've mastered it. Nobody is racing, and I'd argue that hot hatches are a lot about fun/reward. I still like the idea of a GRY with LSDs/suspension, but personally the $60k was too much relative to itself and other options, so I've got to wait out the hype.

Would be better comparing the GR and Rallye with the same tyres. The Dunlop's on the base are absolute rubbish. That being said, the base GR for $40k is an absolute weapon for the $. So much more responsive and fun than a 65k Subaru STi Spec R, and even a Golf R.

I don't think you can blame the tyres for my front sidewalls rapidly disappearing at Winton, you can still have balance with rubbish tyres.

Change the Dunlops for Michelins then change the PS4S for Cup2 / R888R /AR1 then the gap is still there.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. What’s different between the cars. Spring rates at the front are different, damping rates are different, especially at the rear. Roll rates are different (combination of spring rates and anti-roll bar rates). The conspiracist in me thinks it’s a deliberate ploy to separate the two models. Dial the base down and fit less than optimal tyres.

The Torsen LSDs make a BIG difference in corners during motorsport use. The benefits of LSD are even more obvious in corners for FWD or RWD. Open diffs with better tyres will still spin the inside wheels in tight corners. BUT, on public roads driven within the legal limits, these won't matter much for most people.

Same crap. Yes Rallye is better no doubt about it. It costs more and is a track focus car vs more of road car but please put PS4s on base GR and that 3.4 seconds will go down. How much all of us base GR owners what to know.😡

No. The point is hypering up the Rallye and showing base as crap. The real GR. Yes all of us base GR know the Rallye is better but show a lap time on same tryes. PS Sheet was a fast way to show us. Motor will not do a new video just for this.

@@Dave-gl6jb the base model is underwhelming. For the difference in new price NOW I don't think many people will look twice at a pov pack. But at 40k it allowed you to build something in the direction that suited your use better than the rallye for similar money. But that comparison cannot be made as the price is no longer 40k da. Ps. I own a pov pack.

Salty? It's some owners of the Rallye that shit me. They think they are superior to the base GR owners. When I bought mine at $40k there was no other option or talk of a circuit pack coming to Australia. That aside after 5 months of ownership I am stoked, and why would I be salty? I got a bargain and I spent over $15k less. I am sure if I spent another $15k on mods I'd have a car far quicker on the track than the standard Rallye. Why it's even made out as a big deal idk. No one is bagging WRX owners for not owning an STI. Let's face it, how many people are going to track the car? Most don't or won't, so why does it matter. And if you are seriously track or targa focused, my bet would be a base, and with the money saved you get to fit your own performance bits to suit the set up you require. I would go as far to say that the GR "base" with, PS4s, mca coilover kit and Rear factory torsion diff ($47k all up) you'd knock those 3.4seconds off no problem.
