The FASTEST lap of the SEASON 🚀 Chasing another GR Yaris on the NÜRBURGRING NORDSCHLEIFE

[@GreatMotors]

Sorry for the click bait start of the video, that was on the previous lap 😁! If this comment gets 20 likes, I will upload that one as well 💁. Also sorry for the cameras, foot camera ran out of battery in the previous lap, and dash cam recorded the first 5s...

[@Dom4rs]

That was a beast of a lap! Fellow GR Yaris owner here. Love watching your vids😊

[@GreatMotors]

Glad you enjoy it! One of my next laps will be with a fellow GR Yaris owner and commenting on his feelings when we go flat out on track. Stay tuned for it :)

[@jasondoulkeridis6202]

Can’t beat that smile! Good work. I could see the fatigue trying to sway you at the 6 minute mark. You fought through really well!

[@GreatMotors]

Thank you 😊

[@Kirtanus]

Great lap! sub 8 in sub 300hp car always means nice hotlap!

[@GreatMotors]

Thanks! This was really a nice lap, the car still has more in it!

[@philippebeinaerts]

That face at the end of the lap 🥳 says it all

[@GreatMotors]

From focus, to lap well done 😅

[@billg26]

Excelente volta! O sorriso no fim diz tudo! ;)

Danke dir! Ist ein super geiles Auto

[@gt4viking789]

Great lap and you must be chuffed with a sub8 👍🏼🏁 Best Peter

[@GreatMotors]

Thanks Peter! It was a really good mark to get in this season where the track has been fuller than I have ever seen, with more and more accidents / incidents.

[@tugadashcamsuk5946]

Great video! So good, pushing the car to the limits. It was a great time on the NÜRBURGRING track I loved your confidence behind the steering wheel. Congratulations! Well done

[@GreatMotors]

Thanks 🙏! Nürburgring is amazing

[@gaycha6589]

That was a sweet drive. So smooth and carrying so much speed thru the corners. Bravo it was impressive. I also have a GR but nothing like those skills to extract that sort of performance safely. Does the KW suspension add a lot more than stock shox to the handling ?

[@GreatMotors]

Thank you for such nice words :)! I am just an amateur that likes to have fun on the weekends - it's my adrenaline kicks. The KW brought three important factors for me: 1- the car settles down quick vs. stock. Be it a bump, a kerb or an elevation change. This makes it easier to keep under control. 2- it has adjustable camber plates. You can change camber using bolts with the stock suspension, but the different shock mounts give you extra adjustability. Camber is important not only for grip, but for tire wear. Stock camber is around 1° negative and that is really little. You will eat the outside of the tires when pushing (even more so with the relatively soft stock springs). 3- Setup. Being able to adjust anything and then some. Made it much easier for me to tune the car the way I wanted it to drive. It's no longer about raw speed and grip, it's also a lot about driver preference.

[@christianmatejka4168]

Traffic is key in Touristenfahrten, but nice feeling catching up right towards the gantry.

[@GreatMotors]

Traffic is what makes it fun 😜 if there was no one else there I think I would get bored really quickly.

[@kevbird1892]

Fantastic driving

[@GreatMotors]

Thank you ❤️

[@ravey1981]

Great lap. Held my breath for the pass on the blue car 😅

[@GreatMotors]

Yeah in retrospect that was a dive on the inside from my side with a huge difference in speed. I was really hoping that the focus didn't move 😬

[@virgiliolopes3659]

A cada dia que passa estás mais prof :) Foi uma volta perfeita

[@GreatMotors]

Obrigado ☺️! Ainda há ali partes a melhor, mas pouco a pouco vamos lá chegar!

[@jls630430]

Big smile 👍. Well done

[@GreatMotors]

Thank you! 😃

[@zipfelboy1]

Nice round.👌

[@GreatMotors]

Thanks 👍

[@markos8400]

Nice lap, gotta love when low traffic! Did you consider Whiteline front bushings? I know it' easy to say while sitting in sofa at home, but it seems they would help you with understeer and you could go on the throttle much sooner out of the corners, actually most of the way through the corners. Noticed 'cos car seems "floaty" for aftermarket suspension.

[@GreatMotors]

Thanks for the tip, I haven't so far. I am quite moderate in what concerns modifications - for example my car is still 100% stock on the outside. I tend to drive long stretches of time until I find a limiting factor and decide to modify it. First season I had the car for, I had it stock (besides brake fluid, pads, and lines). Then I added the suspension after 10 months - so end of 2021. Then I drove a full season plus (all of 2022) a couple of months of 2023 with the car like that. And only now after struggling with heat management for a while, I have decided to add the intercooler, oil cooler, and downpipe to help the car deal better with the track use. At the same time I added the anti roll bars because I felt that I needed more roll control than what the suspension was giving me. I only drove the car once with this changes (this lap was still without them).

[@markos8400]

@@GreatMotors Yes, I've noticed you take your time with upgrades, I've been following your channel since you got GRY :) That's a good approach! I'm quite hasty unfortunately.

[@charliedaker]

Awesome! When is your next outing?

[@GreatMotors]

Planning to do it as soon as possible. Just keeping an eye out for the weather 😅

[@fgewfee]

Uma vez que ja removeste o interior. Que opinião tens de montar uma barra de topos traseira? Vale a pena? Vai prejudicar a rotação? Carro demasiado rijo?

[@GreatMotors]

Acho que não vai fazer grande diferença. Eu tenho a barra mas sinceramente foi mais psicológico para "compensar" uma eventual falta de rigidez depois de retirar os bancos traseiros. Acho que ninguém é capaz de sentir a diferença de com ou sem a barra. Se falarmos da barra anti rolamento a história é outra. Montei uma há pouco tempo e recomendo.

[@mariobarroso3447]

Por a pista ter pouco tráfego, foi uma volta limpa, e eu adorei... Como velhote que sou, e de acordo com a pouca experiência que tive, o uso de um cinto de segurança tipo suspensório não era melhor? Eu sentia o carro muito melhor com esse dispositivo. Um abraço desde Portugal PS.: O meu Yaris foi à segunda revisão, e tem 4400 kms.!

[@GreatMotors]

Obrigado Mário! Faria sentido ter um cinto de 5 ou 6 pontos se tivesse uma backet de corrida, roll cage, e usasse capacete com HANS. Nenhuma destas premissas se verifica continuo a preferir andar com o cinto de 3 pontos. O carro ainda tem os airbags e todos os sistemas de segurança de fábrica.

[@lesteph69]

De mieux en mieux, bravo

Merci beaucoup ! 🫶

very well done 👍

Well done 👏

Thank you 😁

[@billg26]

Esta volta deve estar a cerca de 10/12 segundos de distância da volta do Gebhardt para a Sport Auto... E isso é dar muito paninho! Parabéns! ;)

[@GreatMotors]

Podes ver uma comparacao aqui: viewsync.net/watch?v=JdeptmXnSfo&t=82&v=7FuLPOfqt3s&t=76&mode=solo . A diferenca sao cerca de 2s quando passo na gantry.

[@billg26]

@@GreatMotors sim é verdade mas na volta completa ainda tinhas que acrescentar o tempo que demora a fazer Gantry to Bridge na Dottinger Hohe e se saísses da última curva à mesma velocidade demoravas 28 segundos a fazer essa distância... Daí eu dizer que o teu tempo de volta inteira seria entre 10 a 12 segundos mais lento que a volta inteira da Sport Auto...

[@GreatMotors]

@@billg26 sim mas essa parte não podes contar, porque também não passo na bridge lançado da DH. Se começares a contar na T13, e acabares de contar na Gantry dá 2s de diferença. Parece-me a comparação mais justa. Portanto começar o cronometro na T13 em ambas as voltas e acabar na Gantry. A diferença são 2s.

[@k20ee96]

Do you have any oil surge issues with the A052s mate?

[@GreatMotors]

Not that I noticed. Neither with the ad09 on 255 width. I am running an oil cooler.

[@getdusty1]

What a rocket. What is the top speed??

[@GreatMotors]

Speed limiter kicks in at 230km/h. If you remove it, you will land somewhere between 250 and 260km/h

[@eszekiistvan7953]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mozfo20]

What suspension set up do you have in this car ?

[@GreatMotors]

KW Clubsport. I have now also added H&R anti roll bars.

[@mozfo20]

@@GreatMotors Thank you for the feedback you drive that car like an extension of yourself I love watching you get faster and faster look forward to the next video have a great day

Yo, how many cars ya got ?

[@GreatMotors]

Four. But it's a touchy subject with the wife.

[@MycketTuff]

You're too hungry to be quick. That chase for getting through corners fast will cost you more than pulling back and steadily building your lines into muscle memory. Once you feel the line and know everything from expected weight transfer, bumps and grip times will lower naturally.

[@GreatMotors]

I do this for fun, if I am not hungry to push myself who will be ? I am no 1000 laps a year guru, but I would think I have a good understanding of the lines and placement of the car. Ofc I make mistakes, and there's always a better way. That's why I keep pushing ✌️
