Last month we took a trip out to Miller Motorsports Park with the 2012 Yaris for a little fun with Andy Bell (of Nitro Circus fame) and our Yaris pilot Jamie Bestwick. Check it out.

that's cool. Truck off-track and the Yaris launch rev-limiter bounce were my fav moments. :smile:

I was not sure how the car would take it, we have never launched either car, and they did it a number of times... First gear bouncing the limiter all the way till the shift. I was very happy to see two solid black stripes each time. :thumbsup:

did they count from a stop or hot laps?

The off-road section was from a standing start, for the track we used the in-car RLC Racing lap timer on a flying lap.

why?

that is awesome. I love the Baja racing stuff. First racing I ever was really into.

Ah, the memories, when the 2012 Yaris was in one piece. DSPORT put its DVD cut on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFd3SGEdqzI
