I see Robert Mitchell who runs Apex at the Nurburgring missed a change and blew his engine. The BIG advantage of DCT boxes on track is missing gears is removed as a risk. Easier to do than you might think on track when you are pushing hard.
Toyota Yaris GR4 4x4 Rally going into production.....
The box is close ratio too so I think it can certainly be done easily, but the car suits a manual very well and it’s a nice manual, still be interesting to just see how quick one of these would be with a DSG style box lol.
Evo did really well. I doubt the time was 12.5 seconds thoughYaris doesn't look so small.
Yaris is huge!
No idea why my phone is screwing photos up or the forum is.
Anyway S2000 is made to look small by it.
Picked mine up today 
. Not much to say that hasn’t already been said other than the flat white looks amazing in person. I’ve seen all the colours now and confident it’s the best, it’s so so white and really makes the design pop out at you.
Only minor gripe so far is the the steering is very nothing on centre and when did cars get so big. Hard to believe this is the small city car of the range, it looks ginormous next my 4C. I don’t mind the seating position relative to the interior, for me the whole car needs to be a foot lower not just the seat.
I did pop straight to Cooksport here who fitted the RallyFlapz for me (pics on the way). They have a black development car with their exhaust on, centre silencer and straight rear sounded best. Full straight sounded great but too much really, maybe if it was already a mega build with stripped and cage etc but it’s too much for a road car.

They did make it way too tall. Look how high the seats are compared to the S2000
I've never seen a rally car as low as an S2000.
Not looked very hard then (lower than an S2000)...
Or a litteral S2000 rally car lol:
The Lancia Stratos wasn't exactly tall either.

Coming soon to a rally championship near you.
The Yaris GR isn't either.

Run in miles done, so I properly ragged it and just me in the car, it has certainly got plenty of go in it and used the expert mode which I think is mostly all systems off.
The car has a lot more feel than any EVO or Subaru I have owned or driven and has very mild understeer towards limit, I just love how engaging a car it feels at both legal and crazy speeds but it’s damn capable. Think it would be incredible around a tight sprint circuit.
I will add more power at some point just because I can but I’m gonna wait for the tuning box options to get more perfected or proper tuning come out. At 1200 miles I’m gonna speak to RRG Macclesfield about have a safety check along with unscheduled oil service and maybe other fluids change as makes a lot of sense on a brand new car that’s been run in and as of yet I have no plans to get rid of it, it’s a superb all rounder. Interior however seems to get marks from just looking at it, the plastics are absolutely terrible.
Guys at Tegiwa sorting me some free stuff, got a GoPro mount and in couple of weeks time they’ll sort me a mirror relocation kit.
Great car all the hype is true they have built a real masterpiece. So far I’ve had no warning messages or any issues whatsoever with the car.
