450hp E30 M3 ripping & we bought a GR Yaris - Cadwell Park trackday

I'm hoping I don't wreck it when I remake the exhaust. I'm sure I won't though.

Your e30 is a work of art. Combining my two favorite m3 models to one epic machine. Can only dream of owning one of these machines.

It's already happened. There are some massive GR Yaris builds already.

Love the format of quick overview of a car with a friendly chat and then a few laps combined with bit of good track day banter in the pits 👍 Fun times all round

I've said it before, but that GR Yaris is a future classic, guaranteed. And shit the bed, the old E30 bloody shifts eh?! Love it!! As for Craig's MX5... that just eff's off - great to see the "hairdresser's car" sending it! Great work!

Phil reference fitting seats to the Yaris, have a look a the Apex Nürburgring or Robert Mitchell's channels (he owns them). They have a GR Yaris and have custom subframes to drop the seats down enough for wearing helmets. They also have a half cage installed.

The GR Yaris has got to be the successor of the pulsar GTI-R. Small Japanese commuter car but with AWD and a turbo so it’s a little rocket

[@malteserwfj]

As you guys do so many track days, what do you think about doing guides to the different tracks? How to drive them, racing lines, tricky or individual tips for each track kinda thing? Can use footage that you already have & would be mega useful for us starting to do track days (especially cadwell)

[@driftworks]

We do a few, but we're still very much amatuers still. Just there for fun, so wouldn't feel qualified to tell people where to go or how to etc. This was my second time ever at Cadwell for example, I know my line through the back section is far from optimal.
