Something is off with your front end vehicle dynamics. More than half the turns you're catching the car immediately after turn in even without power. You turn in and then unwind the wheel about half then reinitiate the turn. It's costing you more than a few seconds on track.
The problem with the Type R is that it was developed for track, but it's getting matched by a car that wasn't designed for track, that was designed for the rally stage. The Type R also can't launch in any scenario and it's front wheel drive, so simply unable to perform in the wet. The GR is three times the car that the Type R is.
What you haven't factored in is that the GR yaris is 2800lbs factory and this guy removed 100lbs on top of that. The type r is 3100lbs ... That's a whopping 400lbs difference between the two cars. Now let's looks at the power. GR yaris has been known to show 280whp while the type r factory makes around 290whp .

@@relentlesspursuit6894 um , if Honda wanted to build a purpose built for that ... But end of day , you're not comparing apple to apples when one car has weight reduction despite being the lightest and AWD ... If you want drop the ctr to 2800lbs and let's see how this goes ?

They do seem to crack quite easily, not ordered a replacement yet. It is surprisingly bad on track, not sure what mpg but I get through a lot of fuel on a track day!
I love both cars, looks like the Yaris had the edge over the fk8 on track, which is surprising if I'm honest, get on a typical damp pot holed British b road and the fk8 won't see which way the Yaris went 👍 (nor will a Nissan GTR, from experience)
Civic Type R will always be my favourite, but I do like the GR, just not sure about the longevity of a 3 cylinder Turbo though, it is a Toyota though and will hopefully stand the test of time and abuse!.
Please tell me that that hair dryer on uppers sound is not what you have to endure when driving a Yaris GR in anger?. It is a soundtrack defect right?.
@@kos5120 When I wrote this comment 5 months ago, I was screwed like never before and I wanted to prepare for the university entrance exam, but my teachers always said I couldn't do math. I believe in myself now more than I ever have and I'm sure I'll get a Yaris Gr one day I hope I don't fail
@@Skubi1111 Please do! I'm going to try get some more camber with that setup shortly. Make sure you do the full alignment when you do them though because it changes your toe considerably.
My bet would be the CTR would be faster around Croft as it's a high speed flowing circuit, the CTR is more track focussed with wider 245 tyres and a much more stable platform due to the suspension differences. The Yaris thrives in tight corners and braking zones, so I'd expect would be quicker at somewhere like Blyton Park.
Took my GR to Spa last year and it was great… looking for something different now though for this years trip. What about the Civic as you’ve owned both?
If the yaris is a match for the type r why didnt toyota try and make a better time in the nerbergring were the real cars get tried out , people can say whatever the type r is a much bigger car yet still kicks the competition in the boot .
because Yaris GR has limited max. speed (230km/h) and Nordschleife has few straight lines which requires unlimited top speed. So Yaris can't compete with Civic Type R on big rings where you need to go more than 230 km/h
@@BanzaiYaris keep factory weight and power and add a track with much more and longer straights and outcome would be pretty different because of your gearing. Not saying the GR Yaris is a rubbish vehicle .
This car was built for WRC - it's an homologation car, so was built with one thing in mind - RALLYING. The thing was not of interest to them. Put the CTR and GR on a WRC Rally stage and see what happens - the CTE would even complete the stage!
Well I'm on my 9th set so far haha but more important still on my first set of discs. I get just over 3 trackdays to a set of OE pads, which at £50 a pop and 30mins to change I don't find too bad!
@@relentlesspursuit6894 the 2800lbs Yaris had a 100lbs weight reduction to the CTRs full factory weight if I'm not mistaken and yet still kept up as a FWD car vs a AWD
NOPE LOL. TYPE R HAS ALREADY SHOWN IN OTHER VIDEOS THAT IT HAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE RAIN. LOOK IT UP. I HAD THE 19 CW TYPE R AND THEN SWITHED TO 21 BB TYPE R, BOTH WENT THRU HARD RAIN 90 MPH NO PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE AN EVO X FE AND MY TYPE R PERFORMS EQUALLY GREAT ON THE RAIN.
Ahhh my old Type R versus my current GR ! Having had both....its the GR for me any day of the week ! 😉 Great drive ! 👍
Stock or Rallye?
i thought the civic cornered better and pulled harder once you're up and going, but for day to day, yaris for sure
Looks like theres nothing in it in a straight line. Love sessions like this where you and a mate can get on it
Awesome. Hope to see you on track again soon mate 👍🏻

I absolutely couldn’t agree more. Sounds like an old hair dryer on it’s way out
The rear veiw mirror and screen sticking out the dash im not a fan of
Stock for stock, the FK8 is worse. 100%.
FK8 sounds just as awful
Just replaced my m235 grand coupe for Yaris
Bmw sounded worse
Fantastic driving! Really interesting to see which parts of the track benefit each car.
You must always come out of a hot lap in the GR Yaris with great hair, considering the high horse power hair dryer in the cabin
Je suis impressionné que tu puisse suivre le rythme de la type r. Bravo 👏
My GR will be delivered June/July next year. cant wait!!
nailed the apexes there. Nice
