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!
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!
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
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
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.
5:04 mini cooper driber trying peacefully master a corner using all the track when Misha was like *Nah, i ain't wasting this speed because of that* 😂😂😂😂
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)
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.
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...
@@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...
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! :)
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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
The Nurburgring is a track that is focused to much on power, which is why cars with more power tend to do better than one that are more for cornering @@gw7624
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!
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 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".
3 cylinder track weapon. Crazy grip. Nice lap and nice build

From my long experience in sim-racing, I think that is very true.
Stress can mess up your driving skills something fierce.
In Russian we say in such cases: “If you can’t shit, don’t torture your ass”

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

And more power and a cool retro interior.

interior looks realy old. U have to like it..
Indeed retro interior plus an automatic gearbox option!!
10:43 You know it gets serious when Misha starts to make that face
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.
@@solocamo3654 i also noticed and came to post the same thing xD loved it !
Seen the expression changed and bolted to the comments 😅
When Misha is dead silent, look out...
You could see how proud of the GR the owner was and the admiration for Misha’s driving in his face.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks to the owner!
same, super sick car + vid

😂😂😂😂💔Bro No!
I dont think that There are any logical Owners of GR Yaris swapping them for a BMW :)
@@Tripokaridos22 yeh lol missed a nice sound and having the top down. Both would be the perfect combo tbh
One of the best laps lately.
confess:
I loved the videos when you start to compete with someone. M3 battle brings so much fun. thanks for the video dude.
You could see on Misha's face he really got into it as well.
I liked the rear camera. Please bring it back. It gives a better race feeling.
You told that red car WHAT!
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
This is the comment I came for. This video would’ve been 1000% better with a rear camera
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.
Fantastic drive by Misha, what a great little machine.
Peter Griffin was stressing 😂 the Mish had it all under control!

Great driving , great control
Bravo as usual biglad you are an absolute animal and seem to love the GR, and the owner, what a cool cat
You might want to check out the Speed Engineering seat mounts for GR Yaris, they go down a bit between the towers
Link?

8:51 That M3 had some oversteer moment there got me scared for a second lol
3 banger bangin' the big boy track
Best car of automotive sector of the decade
Thanks for the video Misha, really enjoyed this one. Always appreciate your technical explanations post videos I learn so much!!
Marco seems really cool guy ! Misha i really enjoy this lap thanks !
Man and machine in perfect harmony
Que buen piloto es misha, exprime cualquier coche al máximo, da gusto verlo
The new one seems to have solved that seating position problem
Amazing content. Thanks again. Love the GR Yaris, Homologation cars are epic.
Misha you’re a madman!!!!!!!!! Absolutely love it!!!!!!
What a weapon this thing is, the suspension and the AR1s make it perfectly planted
Really potent car ! 50 more hp and it whould be a serious track weapon !
Nice setup ! God job Owner 👍
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)
How much faster would that lap have been with 100kgs lesson the passenger seat?
That thing corners like it's on rails! What a great lap.

& also power to weight ratio matters too!
Misha you are correct TC is not fully off! however you need to do the pedal dance to fully deactivate it! very good lap.
You just hold down the TC button for 5 seconds instead of pressing it and you see Expert mode disappear.
Damn, very well executed driving misha! Good work! 👍
One of the most intence laps!!!!!!
you can adjust camber in Yaris much more than 2 with whiteline upper screw
I love everything about this car.😊
what a nice guy the owner
As someone in the states, its nice to see other area of the ‘ring so thanks for keeping the camera on
This thing drives like it’s on rails. Lovely 👍🏼👍🏼🥳
Misha mode engaged when red beemer passes 👀
Een heerlijk rondje met de GR Yaris.
I love that it's always sunny there
Best lap I have ever watched on Misha's RUclips
Fantastic drive. Really impressive stuff
Misha’s applying that pressure
its rare to say it but the only thing the car needed is a little more power, such a balanced car
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.
Whoa, some nice crowds here today! What fun!
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...
BMW parts prices are quite a lot €€ than Toyota ones which you should consider.

Driving like your life depends on it, f**king love it!!
Die Seiten sind frisch, der Frühling kann kommen!
8:25 m3 driver thought it stood a chance. "Too soon junior." Lol
13:04 - hilarious that here in America that would barely bat an eye
So much fun and well sorted just some extra power and torque would be even better 🔥🔥
wow that thing is like a go cart the response in the steering is crazy . what a bloody driver btw .
I hope we get more rear view cam instead of feet cam in the future. Much more enjoyable to watch in my opinion.
M3: defeated! Jokes aside, this little Yaris has physics defying levels of grip. What a staggering little machine.
The battle with the red BMW was Amazing!
Super enjoyable lap ❤
This a video example of the difference on fitting on a track seat vs not. Btw harnesses make the difference
Klaus loves the purple knobs for sure!!!

I really like those "small" cars especially since the Yaris is also in WRC
if anyone has a Lamspeed turbo kit GR Yairs please give it to mish to lap the ring 🙏
What are your thoughts on the pandem kit? To me it looks cool as a diecast model but are the added effects negligible in real life?

fun little thing this Yaris
Another car we don't have in the US, but we have the heavier Corhola
Need to up the boost to spruce up that engine. Its kinda slow especially for the capabilities of the chassis .
Nice 👍, very good driver! 😊
Awesome car, brilliant driver💪
Nice to see eddie the eagle back in the game 👍
Misha, u should try my GR Yaris 350 HP. Would have smoked that amg gtr and that red M3 on the Nordschleife.
Bring it to him and he will drive it.
A Yaris isn't getting anywhere near an AMG GTR. The current M2 absolutely destroys the Yaris in lap times, so against an AMG GTR it's got no hope.
