Toyota GR Yaris v Yaris GRMN - DRAG RACE

The Thrill of Drag Racing: A Watson's Adventure

I'm gonna have the traction on actually because it's slippery and I'm gonna hold it on the handbrake build the revs then release the clutch let's see what I can do actually wait wait wait wait I just need to channel the spirit of the meisters of the Nurburgring come on come on right do it three two one go manage up how are you more on getting absolutely slayed maybe not ah gosh the meisters didn't help all that much oh don't think I'm gonna do any better it is what it is so then what exactly happened well the gi Yaris came first completing the standing quarter mile in 13.6 seconds meanwhile the Yaris GRMN took 14.7 seconds okay now we're going to have a rolling race from 30 miles an hour in second gear I'm gonna count it in I'm gonna decide I'm gonna hold this actually okay three two one go god that took off much quicker than I thought it would and now it's going yeah it's just destroying me well you won that you back off now that's right you just drive it off into the abyss the pickup on yours was really quite quick I thought they'd be like turbo lag and I'd get an advantage because I've got a supercharger so it'd just be on it but that just took off didn't it yeah the revs seemed quite high in second gear and 30 in this so it was it was like lurching ready to go it there was no lag at all another rolling race this time though from 50 miles an hour and in third gear are you ready three two one go oh I was closer then but that was going he's going 100 miles an hour and he's gone right that's enough whoa oh scrubbing under brakes oh there's another runway couldn't see because of the fog wasn't so bad that time i kicked it with you for the first three millimeters yeah so as I thought this time in third gear the revs were a little lower at 50 than it was second gear during 30 but once it picked up it was just oh this car is good I like it yeah I really like that engine as well this one's really fizzy this engine is fizzier I think than that one and a bit smoother because it's a four cylinder but that thing just has so much punch doesn't it yeah it just rips but it actually feels more like a supercharger than than it actually is it's really smooth and just it pulls all the way through each gear it's lovely right now

We have a brake test from 70 miles an hour here comes the line that can't be right can it did you break early or I break late that's quite a difference yeah I mean I I hit the line and break but it's not rocky sides we just break on the line and the car does the thing right yeah stay level I think it's stay level with me just stop a second can you see what make my tires up from there you might have to get out if I'll come around here I know you've got a Michelin PS4 S's they're pretty cool but my brakes are twice the size of yours as well these are a lot bigger my rear brakes are bigger than your front brake that might be it let's try it again those bridge stones aren't as good as the Michelins though right no not nearly now so you've got better brakes better tires and better skills and a better car let's go you know the drill come on come on Watson all over the place this is like that skating yeah that was a bit better for me that time but still better brakes better tires better skills better car the back of your car is quite high in the air as you're braking as well I think this stays a lot flatter on the brakes you seem to be pitched way up in the rear take some rake out of it we'll go back to engineer and get some rake taken out of this sort that out for us there we go toyota engineers we know better than you thank you very much we'll send you the invoice okay I lost everything don't care I love this car it's good fun I love that but I still love this I hope you all enjoyed the video if you did please give it a like and why don't you follow me on instagram at my Watson cars I'll put a little link in the ping comment below all right follow me there loads of behind the scenes stuff of what we're going to be drag racing anyway I'll see you next time now if you'd like to watch some more content click on the video windows there for some extra drag races and if you click on that box there you can see how these cars times compared in the car wow drag race leaderboard click to check it out
