CRAZY! Spicy GR Yaris & WILD BMW E92 M3! // Nürburgring

[@frontwing67]

2024 Yaris GR has lowered seats, higher positioned back mirror and lots of upgrades, but yes, for even a higher price.

[@FreakyKiky]

this

[@electrikoptik]

And more power and a cool retro interior.

[@Alex-hv3ir]

That interior is the most polarizing thing i've seen in a while. I totally hated it, then looked at it again and kinda love it. I stil have mixed feelings but i would have to see it in person to decide.@@electrikoptik

[@TheSlash389]

interior looks realy old. U have to like it..

[@Fab84NL]

Indeed retro interior plus an automatic gearbox option!!

[@ODGreenZa]

3 cylinder track weapon. Crazy grip. Nice lap and nice build

[@GRfourfun]

You could see how proud of the GR the owner was and the admiration for Misha’s driving in his face.

[@NanoDex]

You had the M3 stressing!! He was thinking twice about having passed you and over drove that corner! Your sitting there, race experience, cool as a cucumber. It is a beautiful sight to see and a reminder the calmest driver has the edge!

[@RicouNiet]

From my long experience in sim-racing, I think that is very true. Stress can mess up your driving skills something fierce.

[@Shifftee]

In Russian we say in such cases: “If you can’t shit, don’t torture your ass”

[@ardillasecreta]

Possibly had to pause to collect their pants, after drifting 2-3 corners previously, and decided to bow out, respectfully! They definitely outmatched in power, but driver skill was not quite the same!

[@kaankuruuzumcu3867]

Gr Yaris has crazy grip with AR1'S It's been a while since I've seen such a full throttle lap, a stage 1 tune at least could even out the power to grip ratio a bit more in this case

[@Alexander.Z13]

10:43 You know it gets serious when Misha starts to make that face

[@solocamo3654]

Came here to post it. Nothing better than when the actual competitive side shows up, that's when you see the real driving.

A point had to be proven. Wish we had the rear cam to watch the gappening.

[@Blinkydabill]

One of the best laps lately.

[@highway9patrol]

confess: I loved the videos when you start to compete with someone. M3 battle brings so much fun. thanks for the video dude.

[@Syncopia]

You could see on Misha's face he really got into it as well.

[@irfanj]

The fact that you can get a used one for $33k here in Malaysia, it is for sure a very tempting car. And we have Sepang track here. Hope I can get one soon.

[@fknbastages]

I liked the rear camera. Please bring it back. It gives a better race feeling. You told that red car WHAT!

[@paradoxofgodexisting]

YESS, rear cam opens up the perspective so much, you can be immersed in the video because you can check your mirrors whenever you want xD

[@dmo944]

This is the comment I came for. This video would’ve been 1000% better with a rear camera

[@AUDIDOIT]

Fantastic drive by Misha, what a great little machine.

Amazing content. Thanks again. Love the GR Yaris, Homologation cars are epic.

[@omito2233]

8:51 That M3 had some oversteer moment there got me scared for a second lol

[@zf8496]

Misha you are correct TC is not fully off! however you need to do the pedal dance to fully deactivate it! very good lap.

[@big98181]

You just hold down the TC button for 5 seconds instead of pressing it and you see Expert mode disappear.

[@gtrix3240]

the GR Yaris is truly impressive, even with a passenger onboard! That E92 owner is something else, absolutely relentless in how he throw his car around corners. But the all-wheel-drive system of the Yaris shows no mercy, especially on the twisty corners of the Nürburgring. The E92 didnt stand a chance lol, especially with a skilled driver like Misha behind the wheel.

[@zf8496]

& also power to weight ratio matters too!

[@thedistance8843]

Damn, very well executed driving misha! Good work! 👍

[@SzymonZat]

Best lap I have ever watched on Misha's KZbin

[@jdmlordsalamander6397]

Misha you’re a madman!!!!!!!!! Absolutely love it!!!!!!

[@anthonysharpe5104]

How much faster would that lap have been with 100kgs lesson the passenger seat?

[@billcar50]

That thing corners like it's on rails! What a great lap.

[@Akalipt0s]

what a nice guy the owner

[@oszb]

8:50 m3 regretting passing a bit i think haha Misha please get a better setup for the footcam, feels like it falls off more often than not and its never really been an 'issue', but the lucky streak will run out.

[@badatmusic0]

im worried about their safety, like if the loose cam falls and gets under the pedals. i love seeing his inputs but i would be fine with not having foot cam for the sake of safety

[@alexar4612]

One of the most intence laps!!!!!!

[@Syncopia]

M3: defeated! Jokes aside, this little Yaris has physics defying levels of grip. What a staggering little machine.

[@JavierMartinezSanchez-tc5nq]

Que buen piloto es misha, exprime cualquier coche al máximo, da gusto verlo

[@Sky-is-the-limit-44]

you can adjust camber in Yaris much more than 2 with whiteline upper screw

[@yuribezmenov1552]

So fun to watch Misha go into his race mode. I thought it was funny to see his shifts become quicker.

[@melbguy1]

Misha really got on it when that BMW passed him and showed his racecraft, but also how good the GR Yaris is with some baseline performance mods.

[@antonispetrou4472]

Amazing!!! Not a fan of the 3 cylinders but when Misha drives them..... joy all over the track!!!

[@Chris.Davies]

I like the two-footed traction control. Wish I could do it. But I have a fused left ankle, so no left-foot braking for me, sadly. Lots and lots of heel-n-toe, though! :)

[@tinhinnh]

As someone in the states, its nice to see other area of the ‘ring so thanks for keeping the camera on

[@DKofDAH]

1:45 maybe cause Nothern Europe people are 7-10 cm taller on average. I’m 188cm/ 6‘2“foot and I have problems with any Toyota build in the 00s except the Avensis. Sad that you can’t cut them down due to the TÜV.

[@SweVikingRC]

Really potent car ! 50 more hp and it whould be a serious track weapon ! Nice setup ! God job Owner 👍

[@AbrahamArthemius]

The 2024 version will get the 300hp version of the 3-cyl, though Europe will get the 280hp instead.. (probably because of some emissions stuff or something like that)

[@PedroHenrique-cu6fq]

its rare to say it but the only thing the car needed is a little more power, such a balanced car

[@wadebyneveldt4641]

Fantastic drive. Really impressive stuff

[@NytrogenLegend]

I absolutely love that car, and the newest version makes me wanna buy one. Although, I live in France, and for the same price i could buy a used F82 M4 CS...

[@alexlam24]

BMW parts prices are quite a lot €€ than Toyota ones which you should consider.

[@NytrogenLegend]

@@alexlam24I know that, I own an m240i with the B58. Parts are expansive, but i also used to own a GT86, and buying parts directly at Toyota isn't really much cheaper than BMW...

[@rextetron]

"Go, go, go" - and the other dude is trying his best with the momentum that is there, but Misha not really letting 😄

[@karlruditis5615]

Misha mode engaged when red beemer passes 👀

[@Diac13]

I hope we get more rear view cam instead of feet cam in the future. Much more enjoyable to watch in my opinion.

[@luisrpa123]

Great lap as always! Why no heel-and-toe? Is the iMT system good? Is the pedal placement very uncomfortable for heel-and-toe?

[@Kirtanus]

both answer are yes from my experience. I use heel&toe on older cars, but not in my gr yaris on track.

[@binskee677]

yea pedal placement is bad for heel and toe, i usually do it myself on most of my cars but i don't do it in the Yaris and yes the iMT has been excellent for me so far, the faster you go the better it gets. basically the faster you go the whole car gets better.

[@romka_ind]

Plus one to those guys above ⬆️ imt is nice and pedals are not.

[@khor9613]

😱😱😱THE CORNERING KILLED

[@romka_ind]

The recepie for amazing ownership of original GR Yaris is simple, you need to be about 166 or less cm tall 😂 I have no problem with sitting position in the lowest setting, Passenger seat is even worse it is taller and has no height adjustment.They did made changes with facelift and it suppose to be better, but now the price is something else 😢 Nice lap Misha!

[@akaYOOOOO]

I have and love my GR Yaris. All I can say is imagine if this 3 cylinder was a 4 cylinder... Everyone is comparing it to 4 and 6 cylinder cars, it would literally demolish everything. Akio, if you read this comment, please please please give this little 3 cylinder engine a 4 cylinder big brother.

[@jamesross2373]

Why does it need 4 cylinders? The 2025 GR Yaris has 304hp for most of the world and can be upgraded to much higher outputs. There are so many 4cyl cars, it’s nice to have something unique and different.

[@mrunabout]

This has probably been brought up before but I would love a rear cam view.

[@Alex-FFM]

This thing drives like it’s on rails. Lovely 👍🏼👍🏼🥳

[@Adison0529]

Ok but honestly the cooling solution seems really impressive, coolant temp didn't even flinch, I wonder what about oil temp. The car felt like a pocket rocket, slow acceleration but felt like it maintains the speed with ease.

[@someperson7]

I really like those "small" cars especially since the Yaris is also in WRC

[@micheltebraake7915]

Een heerlijk rondje met de GR Yaris.

[@jebidiahcarlyon3543]

I believe the Yaris seats have to be mounted that high for crash testing. I am not a Toyota engineer, but it was brought up in Matt Watson's coverage of the newer version. The new ones have a slightly lower position apparently - again I really have no idea I am american and couldn't get a GR Corrola if my life depended on it.

[@tinhinnh]

new one is only 1” lower right? doesnt the race car versions are high as well? i thought thats why the seats in the road car are a lil high

[@jebidiahcarlyon3543]

@@tinhinnh I'd love to find out. I've seen the car in person - it's pretty small. I imagine if an X5 or X7 BMW hit one of these, the higher seat would make the impact and airbag deployment more "survivable".

This a video example of the difference on fitting on a track seat vs not. Btw harnesses make the difference

[@erion2bad]

i always thought would never ever consider buy a 3 banger engine, thats why i got a type r, but man, those Gr Yaris are almost impossible not to love them, are fast, powerful, good looking, and questionning myself if looking for one in the near future or not 🤣🤣🤣. Cheers everyone!!!
