Sure he did better than I ever will, but at least mine is still in one piece:rolleyes:

Does the owner not know that the Yaris is a fwd car? That means they'll have a tendency to understeer. Constantly flooring it while trying to turn won't help. Gotta share the tire load between braking/accelerating and turning.

[SilverBack]

I think he knows now, or at least he will when his body shop repair guy will show him where the drive shafts are later lol

Also running on a stock suspension didn't help either

LOL. I'm sure it didn't, but someone who knows how to race a stock car will do better than one that doesn't know how to race and has a fully modded car. Myself, I'm not sure where I'm placed since I haven't auto-x'd my Vios...yet. :biggrin:

[Sabretooth]

Rofl... sadly some people think just cause you scream for the car to turn, doesn't always make it turn...

[Crandall]

I've seen worse happen on an auto-x track.

[SilverBack]

Don't worry it'll turn, ..after it hits something lol

100% true. Can't tell you how many times I've taken my Y to the Irwindale drag strip on Thursday nights and beat-out full-modded Civics and Accords. I'm not even into drag racing as much as them:rolleyes:

Nice Vios you got. You should really take it to the track sometime :thumbsup:

I might be. My gf's Hachi crew might be renting out a section of the Fairgrounds in Vallejo. I might chip in and see how my Vios will fair with their Hachi's.

I almost choked on my sandwich watching that. Poor RX-7

wrong thread pitch lug nuts ftl

[rob323]

The guy in the Yaris should learn to left foot brake, it might have saved him from his meeting with the fence and if done right, it would have tidied up his run a hell of a lot.

[eTiMaGo]

I think it's a symptom of playing too many racing video games, where bouncing off the edge of the track is often a perfectly efficient way of going around a corner faster :laugh:

[SilverBack]

He also learned it's the fastest way to stop:laugh:

[texkid]

The same goes for the invisible passenger brake pedal.

Let me correct myself. I've seen worse happen to a Yaris on a Auto-X track.

Love the tail lights.

Actually, my vid opens with the Yaris hitting a curb head on...
That Yaris driver is awful! The WRX driver kicks @ss though....
