£30K GR Yaris - 3 Weeks Old!

- Опубликовано: 8 май 2024
- I started this GR Yaris video with the intention of making some substantial modifications but instead it ended abruptly when I crashed into a race track barrier!
So now instead of moving forward with my upgrades I’m left with a substantial repair bill!
Please consider subscribing to my channel, it really does help.
Thanks for watching!

Looks like you had seen the Mini and reacted, the o/s went onto the grass, causing the traction system to engage, when you got back onto the track there must have been a bit of excessive torque through the o/s wheels which you could see by your steering input to counter against that torque vector. Personally I'd blame the Mini driver 😂
Sounds like a great excuse to me 🙌😂
It can not be them rings never
which traction system when it was all turned off?
Agree, the mini brake way earlier than it should’ve
Pinning the single comment that says it’s not your fault… lol
You found YOUR limit. Not the one of the car. Glad you are fine.
several times at that!
You ran out of skill there mate. You're all over the track, no control.
Clearly looks, him was pushing to hard. Knowing is a daily driven car, probably was better not to push to hard and get some cadwell track experience on it.
I been on the evening track day day 8 in Cadwell with my pepper white mini cooper. I had lots of fun and I did drive back home because I didn't wanted go too hard.
At least he went on track and drove that car the best he can. Many people buy cool cars and are only good at accelerating on straights. Now he will process his mistakes, learn some more theory, and become a better driver.
HE NEEDS A 6 WHEELER BRABUS OR A TESLA HOPEFULLY ITLL DRIVE BETTER FOR HIM 😅😅😅😅😅
Yeah he definitely pushed over his own limits…
I think you could really benefit from some tuition - Don’t be put off doing trackdays or offended, but getting some tuition will make you smoother, faster, will let you have more fun and be at less of a risk of this happening again.
The Bradford joke tickled me
Hopefully the car will be sorted soon enough to so you can get back behind the wheel doing what you enjoy.
Having good and bad days is apart of life
Yes there are always those who judge but who are not confident enough to share their own mishaps but i for one loved the content, passion and honesty. Hats off to you for having the balls to be who you are
Bradford repair section was very funny 🤣
seeing how you were driving (over the limit, no car control), not surprised to see how it ended... if you want to push limits on track buy a used race car with proper safety systems.
Looked like he was all over the track and didn't dial it back in, just kept pushing and driving beyond ability, was lucky he didn't crash into anyone else
Je Hits the grass and it Beginn to rothated!what do you think?do you Drive anytime a 4wd car?
@@MrFlavio83if you think the problem was just the grass you have 0 idea, he didn’t even anticipate it nor did he counter steer fast enough just sailed into the barrier like it was a day out
I think we're being a bit harsh lads, if we want to keep seeing evil gt we should support Lee into a little tuition. Comments like this are just going to cause the channel to stop.
@@AI-Records24 you are the Expert you now how it happens just by looking at the Laptop;)you Are a Genius
Know I see why harnesses are used
Another great video.
Keep em coming
As a GRrr owner this is fascinating to watch.
+ Haans if possible!
Track days seem like such fun until you're in the barrier. Glad you're ok and 🙏🏿 the car can be fixed quickly and fully without cutting into the budget for jackets. 😉
A bit of nerd info for you.... A 1 dB change in a sound equates to about a 26% difference in sound energy (remember that a 3 dB difference is a doubling of energy levels). In terms of subjective loudness, a 1 dB change yields just over a 7% change. A 3 dB change yields a 100% increase in sound energy and just over a 23% increase in loudness.
It's the reason I took the AR1's off of my car.
Weren’t they both rated at 72 though.
Firstly glad youre alright Lee, any crash you can walk away from is a result.
Without sounding too cynical and this comes from a respectful place but why focus on doing all these mods, chasing more bhp etc.. when youre clearly struggling to drive the car within its abilities in standard form? Just seems abit daft 🫤 seats/harness and a neck brace would have been more sensible.
These cars are so capable in standard form, get used to that power, learn how to shift properly and learn the cars characteristics to the point where you know every inch of it and can anticipate its behavior when pushed .
Anyone can map a car turn the traction off and go fast..but when you run out of skill then then big bhp means nowt.
Glad you walked away from it in one piece but dial it back mate and get the basics down 💪❤
Awesome video Lee and some great driving... Until it wasn't!
Glad you are ok and you have good friends around you. Can't wait for the next update!
I always remember my first race lesson takeaway. Less is more - less steering inputs, less jerking on off power / brakes - everything. I’d recommend a few lessons - you’ll enjoy it more and be safer to all around you, especially you! For the wider audience, I’d also recommend a private session for the first time you turn all the TC / stability stuff off!
The inside footage looks brutal as long as you are ok that’s the main thing.
Poorly Yaris!! Can see why race harnesses are used now! Glad your not too injured 😁🇬🇧👍🏻
Not dialing it back after 8:05 is questionable. Glad you're alright but know your limits mate.
Seems like he started pushing too hard already at 7:56
Brilliant vid lee the upgrades were coming along nicely 😊 shame about the crash😢 as long as you are ok, cars can be fixed, looking forward to the next vid 😊
Glad your ok Lee, every track day is a learning day. Great video mate
Sorry about your crash. Better luck in the future!
I’m glad you are ok and back at it soon 👊🏽🇺🇸
On the plus side you've got really good at these RUclips videos. Hope you get car sorted soon and back out on track.
Glad you are ok.
Just one of those freak things as you said was ok the times before.
Keep the content coming 👍🏻
Takes me back to the days of the GTR. Nicely edited and good video, pleased you survived the impact. Subscribed for more Bratford content :-)
The man from Bradford say yes 😀😀 looking forward to the repair video, defo think a bucket seat and some harnesses would be a good investment , but another great video from the Evil gt channel
Brutal man, hope you get the Yaris sorted and back out in it soon. Hopefully no long term recovery for you too 💪😎
🙏
Glad you’re ok, that’s the main thing.
Gutted for the GR but it will be interesting to see how easy it is to repair and what you’ll modify on the way.
Unlucky Lee, looking forward to seeing it get fixed up and back on the track
Love the new channel pall keep it up I'm subscribed
Great video, if you are outside the track several times you need to slow down and chill, not go harder. Basics first, then add speed.
Good video. You walked away and no one was hurt, so its a win 👍🏻
Great video lee 👍🏻loving comentry from lee 😂😂 been lucky there pal Buckets and harnessess next ….
Bloody shame about the car Lee and I hope you're alright. I used to race motorbikes and we always said if you're not crashing you're not trying, so kudos for pushing the thing to its limit.
Lee, we're loving the content and we'd be gutted if evil GT went under completely. Keep at it and don't stress too much about the accident.
You should have started a rebuild episode 🎉and I’m sure the channel would have blown up even faster than it already is. Il definitely be up for watching that ❤
I’m filming the rebuild right now, hopefully it comes out good 🤞
before an accident, it is necessary to throw the steering wheel and pedals... stretch the regular seat belts before leaving the track!
do not lose heart, and think about racing belts and seats!
Happens to the best too, hope you keep the vids coming and seems harnesses and Hanns device maybe should be added to the shopping list and possibly a cage as it seems you’re really enjoying this car and track day’s more than any expensive super car. ✊😆
Good to see you are OK.
The way your Yaris shat Subscribe all over the floor made me subscribe ❤
My friend. Keep driving, keep practising; you'll get better and worry less about these crashes. Good luck.
Glad your fine Lee - - it happens to the best, thanks for posting the video and an honest assessment personally I'm not convinced by them tyres - - car appeared to be sliding before the crash, and remember to get back on the horse and the track straight after a fall. Best of luck
Thanks mate ❤️
I’m sorry you had the accident. Semi slicks are great with higher limits, but the breakaway at the limit is much more snappy needing anticipation and quicker reactions. Less grippy tyres sometimes better in a nimble car. I also have a GR. AT LEAST YOU ARE OK!
Yes, semi-slicks often do more harm than good for inexperienced drivers, especially on SWB cars. Fast road tires are the way while learning.
Sorry to hear that hope you get it fixed soon without it being too costly. You might have a fake aches and pains you will be ok
Hope you’re feeling better mate
Buckets and harness's next mate once its all fixed. :) Cars can be replaced/fixed. Another epic video! Keep them coming Lee!
Cadwell is not forgiving, very common place for that to happen, run wide onto grass open steering so it’s pointing as straight as possible down hill any lock combine with grass your a gonna. Little tip always dab the brake in the goose neck between the right left transition it will squat the car down and give stability
Good bash that one lee glad you are ok 🚑
Ah shit mate, happens to the best of us.
Your usual pragmatic self shining through in the video. Is what it is and it’s only a car, so can be repaired 👍🏼
I love the Bradford bit 😂😂
Gutted! Hope you get it sorted quickly and get back on the horse (track).
Absolute Kudos champ for hanging it all out there for the world to see - takes balls💪 great to watch, you’ll come back better and plenty of us are learning from your experiences and vids. Out of curiosity can you run harnesses with the stock seats?
Thanks mate appreciate it 🙏 stock seats have no holes for the shoulder straps to go through I wouldn’t think you would be able to do it 🤷🏻♂️
Sorry about the GR and hope there is not the same premium as the rs for parts. Thanks for the upload Lee, great content.
I enjoyed the video glad you’re okay, least it’ll make for some good content if nothing else
Hey man,
Happy you are okay and much respect for sharing this. Invest some money for good on-track coaching and get back on it!!
Think harnes should be added to the shopping list
Cadwell is a technical track. If you're going to turn off stability control and driver aids for the first time for god sake do it at somewhere flat like Bedford.
I believe you should hire a pro instructor for 1 day and the knowledge and experience you get will pay for itself 10x.
Gutted mate. Glad your ok tho 👍
That interior footage is wild, it’s fortunate that you weren’t seriously hurt…
There is a school of thought that says running a harness is dangerous because a crushed roof could lead to serious neck injuries, but then you see this footage and can’t help but think it would be safer to be strapped in to the seat.
Yeah after this I’ll take the harness option for future trackdays 😂
@@evilgtlee I run a harness in my cars but I'm under no illusion that they are just as dangerous sometimes. As they pin you into the seat, if you hit an immovable object at speed like here, all that force and momentum that chucked you out of the seat is acting only on your head and neck and depending on the impact/speed can be deadly.
For someone who is knocking on a bit you certainly like the toys. Don’t let this put you off but if I could offer any advice it would be this. When the car is fixed you definitely need better seats and 100% a harness to keep you in place should you have another excursion. Cadwell is no Joke Lee. then maybe swallow your pride and invest in track day tuition which I’m told is worth it. Everyone I know who’s done it has learned a lot and recommended it. Lastly I reckon every track day at Cadwell sees a crash at the goose neck. Yours was a calamity though. The change in direction then there’s a wicked lip and dip combined with lift off over steer and jumping on the brakes was tragic. Get tuition and you will see they teach you to look much further ahead for instance. You clearly didn’t see how fast you were catching the Mini. I suspect you were looking at the Speedo maybe too? Anyway good luck with the Bradford boys innit
Them Yaris look like so much fun nester than a drift car mate lol
If I was going to push too hard cadwell is not the place to do it 😮 madness
Glad your ok that’s the most important thing mate , although the car will now be a category b now ( Bradford) 😅😅
Mega Video Lad,Onwards and upwards 👆
To be honest, I’d rather see you crash at that speed on a track unlike the idiots driving at them speeds on public roads and crashing. Consider yourself lucky to be walking away in one piece
You not only have to enjoy doing it, you also have to be able to do it. 😉
Loss of traction due to redlining / drop off in acceleration = sudden drop off in grip levels. This is then followed by a lack of reverse lock correction (which may have saved the skid, but also could have resulted in pendulum slide back the other way). So either a fraction less speed in that gear or a short shift before the corner and use the torque instead. That's my 2p, at least. Obviously a very technical corner to get right! Good luck with the car.
Yep I think you’re bang on there … on the plus side the car is nearly fixed 👌
Good advice from me: get a pc and a mid priced sim rig and a decent game like assetto corsa. Not gran turismo or something like that. Especially drifting different types of cars (fwd,rwd,awd) in the simulation will give you so much understanding about how the physics of the car work and teach you reacting to these kind of situations. Thats the way i learned racing before getting myself a yaris. In your situation as soon as you had touched the grass and as you had noticed the car starts spinning the right thing would have been to put the accelerator to the floor and steer in the direction where you want to go. As with awd cars the front wheels pull you into the direction where the tyres are headed under acceleration
Reminds me of a local Pro-AM driver I know. His Audi R8 LMS is always being repaired for something because the driver lacks RESTRAINT. Has lots of money though so I guess they can afford to 😅
You found YOUR limit.
High performance car low performance driver 😂
Only joking, good honest video. Keep going but as said some tuition will help you 👍
Never keen on cadwell been a few times and never get it right
Not surprised you had an off
Enjoyed the last vid, this one not so much. Not nice to see cars getting crashed but at least it wasn’t the gt3. Glad you’re ok. Adding more grip and power only means you are going faster when it goes wrong. Just think that a pro driver would lap faster in the standard car. Better to spend money on safety and improving your skills. Keep the vids coming 👍
Gutted for u glad your OK though lee
Sorry to learn of your accident but at least you’re ok. I ran AR1 all last year. Went through 22 of them. A good tyre but very noisy and only reasonable on track in the wet. Just had two sets of the new Bridgestone Potenza Race. They are another level and much quieter. Price wise about the same too. Sadly my i30n and driving style at the ring eats up the outer edges so I went back to AR1 last weekend. They are much harder and accommodating for wear but less grip and much noisier. . If you’re predominantly using it on the road the Bridgestone are great and you’ll love it on track. They are probably not far off an AO52 and good value.
Bradford mechanic needs he's own RUclips channel.. 😂😂
Hope you're well mate, that was a decent impact.
Maybe invest in some recaros, half cage or full cage with some harnesses and hans device?
Big up the Bradford garage for the rip timson banner he was a big part of the car seen where I live and a great guy who was taken too soon rip Dave
Glad your ok 👍
Thanks 🙏
You seem as good at track day racing as you do drifting on retail parks in rs focus
No lee you found your limit not the cars😂😂😂
Gutted for you Lee. Glad your ok though. You was flying around the track 👍
Good shout on the ohlins (assume road and track). Have them on my mk4 mx5. Dont be tight, get a second set of wheels, semi slicks on the road, like an ar-1, asking for trouble and as you have found out hard and noisy.
Sorry about the smash :(
Edit: just watched your previous vid, you still have the old wheels, stock them on for the road I say.
If you add harnesses next, add a hans device as well
If the red Mini wasn't there you would probably have powered out of that. You were sliding a bit and I think you hit the brakes before you were straight again. Hope it's fixed soon so you're back at it soon!
Interesting you mention the pain you felt during the impact, this is exactly why the more recent crash tests have an offset test to try and mitigate the transfer of force into the vehicle.
Yes I am boring, sorry.
Really hope you are OK and hope the car is sorted.
Nasty impact! OILLLLL ON THE ROADDDD!!!
Am surprised that the seat belt didn’t tension up tight
I am curious about that also, it should have worked...
the answer lies in the seating position.
The only bad thing about it I s that spares takes more than 6 months to arrive 😭
I bet you've had more fun in the cheap yaris than With the un cheap 911?
Mate 30k ain’t cheap lol
@@ricowswave1324 that yaris is 30k ????
Bucket seats
6 point harnass
And
A Hans system 😉
Get some coaching on the first trackday and youre good to go!
Lee is the insurance going help 🤣.... was sad to see it crash and is this the new EVIL GT channel now ?
Looks like the ESC was coming in as you went through the corner when you crashed, which probably pushed you wide leading to your rear right wheel being on either the grass or the less grippy kerb and then sending you into the wall. If you're in track mode, you need to hold down the Traction Control button long enough to turn off Expert in the digital display. Then all the nannies are off. Hope you get your car back into working order mate.
Sad to say but if it wasn’t mapped probably wouldn’t of happened hope you get it sorted out soon
Ouch I hope you're ok. Nasty hit. Strange how the car unsettled on the rear, was it weight transfer?
You need to de tune it Lee, not add more power mate 👍
bro is driving like he's a time attack champion, trying to hit the limits of grip, when he doesn't have the basics down and he's just hitting his limits 💀
Glad your ok Lee are we going to see Benji any time soon ?
No control over the car.
You should have tested it more before you go to a track day.
Lerning process, hope the cwr and you are soon ready for more action but please be careful..
Noise from the front, could be top strut mount nuts, have worked loose!
Brutally honest video
