Yaris Wins another Rally

[mojoyaris]

Just wanted to share this with the Yaris folks in Canada.
This will be our second win this year in Stage rallying with the Yaris NCP91 body. Our first win in P2wd class was at the Pacific Forest Rally in October up in Merrit BC.

Our most recent win. Same car, but my friend drove it this time and won overall 2wd and P2wd against some heavy competition from the US and Canada. Some very fast VW's with nearly twice the horse power and even the Porsche rally car couldn't keep up at the Big White Winter Rally last weekend.

The car is a stock Yaris and was driven by a 73 year old man named Taisto Heinonen.

If you don't know him. google search him.

Navigated by Leanne Junnila who was a codriver for the Subaru Canada rally team and current codriver for Verena Mei - google her and you'll probably have a smile on your face ;)

We plan to rally some more next year, so keep posted and cheer on the Yaris.
The little car that can!

This pic below is from last weekends rally with Taisto and Leanne.
The car is much faster in the snow than on gravel roads where the big faster more powerful cars can pull away from the little Yaris. Although it was able to keep up with some pretty powerful Honda's and Volvo's.


And another scenic shot up near Big White @ Gem lake.


Hope to see you soon at a rally somewhere in Canada and maybe he US.
