As a past and current WRC fan i have to say you cant help but love toyota. All of thier classic and retro rally cars are loved and the modern rally one yaris is truly something to behold. Plus toyotas lineup of drivers is easily the most likeable with sebastien ogier, elfyn evans and kalle rovanpera who are all great people and drivers. I used to feel mixed about toyota cars but ever since i started following the wrc i cant help but love them. Good video!
@@dpaterson42 Fun fact: The FIA's investigative committee that examined the Celica GT 4's tampering described the mechanism as "so advanced and so new that you can't help but marvel at the technology and new ideas.

At the same time, Toyota, which accepted the punishment, also took the cheating very seriously and suspended its participation in the WRC for a longer period than the penalty handed down by the FIA.

I've owned a lot of cars in my 40 odd years of driving hot cars but my GR rallye (bang for buck) tops them all BECAUSE you can have fun driving it 1) In any weather dry or wet 2) On any road smooth or rough 3) Fast or slow
Kalle Rovanperä being a factory driver makes a lot of sense. as a privateer team it would be really hard to be able to compete with that, as they can just break parts and replace them with no remorse to secure the title. It's a different form of racing
they build 3 of those 2021 GR Yaris WRC cars, there's a video about those cars on DirtFish youtube channel. I think it's the wildest looking Yaris rally car ever build, those Rally1 hybrids don't have all that crazy aero anymore
Definitely different, but the diffuser and rear wing are still huge lol almost comical looking especially on the Hyundai. I personally think it's the best looking car on the grid with that low nose.
Their marketing team must be fire if people believe that topheavy, sideways engined, yonic looking, automatic transmission, uneven firing interval, nose heavy, maraca in a garbage disposal sounding, glorified smart car is "a driver's car." Gimme a break. I'd rather be caught driving a manual Kia Soul because at least it aint delusional about having one.
great video!! I would encourage people to go test drive one because AS MUCH AS i want to love it!! (i drive a 17 Focus RS, I almost put a deposit down for one) After test drove it This car has made compromises to appeal to the mass which lost its soul a bit for the hardcore enthusiasts. I dont blame Toyota tho cuz at the end of the day they are no charity shops. they need to make money and sell as many as them possible. but thats what makes it less special! Couple things it was far away from the RS. Steering is VERY light. Suspension in the most hardcore setting is still soft. BIG turbo lag (no power under 5k rpm) even they claimed to have a small turbo. but 300 bhp out a 3L engine. there are physical limitations on how you achieving 300 hp. Does not sound good (i drove the circuit edition) the drone from the exhaust is very bad and unpleasant Yes I am aware RS is not as a good a daily of the GR Corolla. cuz the stiff suspension and the HORRIBLE turning radius. but because these things are what made the RS special.
let's not forget the ST205 GT-Four with quite possibly the most genius cheat in racing 4:53 that's a Gumpert Apollo, wasn't expecting such a rare car to go racing
What I don't understand is why They put a 4 cylinder hybrid on the Rally thing but a 3 cylinder gas only engine on the production version. I sure would love the extra boost from standstill of the electric and the sound of the 4 cylinders!
ah toyota showing why i love rally cars and there homologation brothers (though the GR yaris starts at 82k locally...that's quite spicy :P and it being special means even if you can only afford it 2nd hand you might not be able to afford parts for it were something to happen :P). but the thanks for breaking it slogal pretty sums it up, in the 90's seeing circuit cars take a hit and be out of the race, or F1 cars at times snapping off wheels and then you saw the rally cars, flying 10 ft in to the air slamming in the ground with not a care in the world, some cars half the body panels ripped off, front missing, one wheel at an angle and just dragging itself forward... yes that that is the feature i want in my car a stubborn refusal to die or break even when it's highly reasonable :P show me a car flying 10ft high and then slamming on the ground and moving on as if nothing happend (without editing or special effects) and that will have the power of 10.000 ad's
Ummm, the need for speed movie was actually pretty good. I think all the action scenes were practical effects with CGI touches. They did a lot with that mustang.
I hate when people say hybrid racing cars exist only because of environmentalist push. It makes no sense, if it were the case then the hybrid racing cars would have smaller engines using the electric motors to compensate but no, most of the time hybrid racing cars use the electric motors on top of the same size of engine they used before
*punches you in the face* THE KEY TO MAKING A GREAT DRIVER'S CAR IS RALLY RACING EXPERIENCE. *punches you again* IT WAS ALWAYS RALLY RACING EXPERIENCE. *and a third time* IT WILL ALWAYS BE RALLY RACING EXPERIENCE.
6:15 actually they tried the GT86 first before deciding to pick the Yaris. Imagine if they picked the 86. ruclips.net/video/nxxGAkRKPac/видео.html ruclips.net/video/FSF4SLLSFvs/видео.html

When Akio Toyoda said "no more boring cars", he meant it.
💯
Akio Toyoda is a legend !!
😢 too bad someone else is running the show at Toyota and is ruining things
Toyoda's legacy is eternal,@@twanvorstenbosch
@@MotorLegends-storiesall the modern Toyota hatchbacks all looked awesome.
Now I want to have a gr yaris with a body kit 😂 as if my dream car list couldn't get any longer😂
Not a bad choice
Pandem makes a kit and probably some other companies

@@dpaterson42man i still miss the 1986 to 1995 Celica ST205 WRC cars.😢

BECAUSE you can have fun driving it
1) In any weather dry or wet
2) On any road smooth or rough
3) Fast or slow
GR Yaris Rallye also has nimble handling like Lotus Motorsport Elise.
Me too. I have a 2023 GRMN Yaris and the only other cars I equally enjoy driving are my Porsche GT4s clubsport (both 981 and 718).

THE NFS MOVIE WAS GREAT I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
fr, NFS slander will not be tolerated 😤
One of the best opening race scenes in a movie 🍿
Underrated af
Listen, I love nfs but they did not make a good movie. If you want an nfs movie then go play The Run
Right there with you buddy
the Rally1 Hybrid Yaris looks mean as hell
never even heard of it but I absolutely love it
Completely agree
Yes, I LOVE the GR Yaris, and I am lucky enough to drive some regularly!
Toyota have created a monster ❤
best car ever! I'm definitely not biased haha, look into Lampeed racing, they've already pushed the platform to make 1000hp from the G16E engine.
This video made me fall in love with toyota once again ( I am a toyota fan )
So a fair weather fan
Thank you for another fantastic documentary with a brilliant narrative yet again. The Yaris! Who'd have thunk it? I want one too ...
Thank you for watching, Hound Dog!
Great video. Keep up with good work. When you use imperial measurements, could you also write them in metric system?
Thanks for watching, we'll take your feedback on board 😇
Just started watching the channel. Your content is great! Keep it up!
A video on the Ford RS200 would be cool to see!
Yaris is one of the most underrated car
Dude your video and storytelling quality is amazing! Earned a sub
Thank you! Appreciate it
Love the Neal Bates Gazoo Racing Australia footage. A rally legend. If he's into it, then it must be good.🙂

I own a Toyota Yaris GR Rallye And there is one downside to that car - Everything else you get into feels boring

Gimme a break. I'd rather be caught driving a manual Kia Soul because at least it aint delusional about having one.
I'll have what he's having
Toyota in WRC even in 2024 still is the dominant force and the team that they all wanted to beat in 2024 WRC Season.
Do a series on Mitsubishi , Subaru , Peugeot , Lancia rally history !
@pasasitheran7737 Have You heard of ALBON? His channel does a lot of history videos about JDM carmakers. You might like his content. Really good vids
Tomi Makinen was my favorite rally driver.
great video!! I would encourage people to go test drive one because AS MUCH AS i want to love it!! (i drive a 17 Focus RS, I almost put a deposit down for one) After test drove it This car has made compromises to appeal to the mass which lost its soul a bit for the hardcore enthusiasts.

i got a toyota ad 💀💀💀
Nice video, but no mention of how good the 4wd system is 🤙
Finland mentioned, must watch.
Thats why i got one
let's not forget the ST205 GT-Four with quite possibly the most genius cheat in racing
4:53 that's a Gumpert Apollo, wasn't expecting such a rare car to go racing
I’d buy if they were sold in the states
“Hey honey I got the Yaris…honey?”
This era of Toyota reminds me of when they put out the AE86
Simple, affordable sports cars that are made by drivers, for drivers
some of us don't only imagine driving the family saloon like that
How I totaled one of these with 1400km was great aswell
😢
1:35 did he put F1 car sound on?
Nop
CO2 footprint??? ridiculous...out of a zilion cars moveing right now idiots picks up raceing...brilliant
Until they void the warranty for exceeding 85mph
What I don't understand is why They put a 4 cylinder hybrid on the Rally thing but a 3 cylinder gas only engine on the production version. I sure would love the extra boost from standstill of the electric and the sound of the 4 cylinders!
Assuming you watched the same video, it was due to wrc regulations calling for hybridization
@@Wind_slash0 I am aware of that, yet since you have to hybridize anyway, why not do it on the road version too?
Wow…….awesome video!
Thank you!
Picture is actually Kaj Lindström in 8:25 and not Miikka Anttila
Damn, Thats my celica🔥
it's also funny that yaris is the turkish word for competition or race
Could you make videos on the Ford gt40
ah toyota showing why i love rally cars and there homologation brothers (though the GR yaris starts at 82k locally...that's quite spicy :P and it being special means even if you can only afford it 2nd hand you might not be able to afford parts for it were something to happen :P).

The fact I can’t drive this car in Forza Motorsport yet as a ta build
I drive an m3 .it's pretty badass. Alot more badass than that fire catching yota
Lol keep coping bro. I smoked F80s and F82s in my Yaris, one almost ended in a cliff trying to keep his ego in check :)
mf my history teacher did in fact drive a yaris
😆
No driver ever said that a drivers car is a drivers car.
Pulling down to upshift on regular consumer cars is.... a first?
When i see the Yaris WRC i think "oh cool"
When i see the GR Yaris Rally1 i shit my pants
no more hybrid system now :)
That's a huge engine for such a small bonet
👍
Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do.
What about the Toyota tractor
Wtf is miles per hour?
Clicked off the moment I heard it
*punches you in the face*
THE KEY TO MAKING A GREAT DRIVER'S CAR IS RALLY RACING EXPERIENCE.

A turbocharged 3 banger hatchback is not and never was the perfect drivers car...
Still a lot of fun if you have the balls and skill behind the wheel to throw it around. But I agree, perfection is subjective.
Sure thing bro, keep coping.
