Any yaris owners here going or went to track lapping? How does the car performs? Is it really appropriate to bring a 100hp car to the track at all?

thebarber · 08-03-2011, 01:35 PM

went last year with echo_hrs

i was quicker than other cars that were faster on paper....this was pre-supercharger

it was totally worth it....i recommend doing a lapping day at least once

if anyone is interested in going this year, id like to go, shoot me a PM

I'm goign to STRA for August 21st!

Don't worry about bringing a "slow" car at all, people will pass you, it won't be a problem, just let them go and have fun learning/racing.

The only things I'd say are mandatory are:
Fresh synthetic oil
Fresh synthetic brake fluid
Sticky tires

After that:
EBC/Hawk/other high performance pads
Suspension
Performance Alignment

Worry about motor afterwards.

The best part is, on a tight track like Mosport DDT, our cars do great in braking and can handle pretty decent, so the low power level isn't a huge deal.

My echo's bone stock motorwise (still), but with brakes, springs/struts, alignment and 225/45/13 Toyo R888's on light 13" rims I do a pretty decent job hassling "faster" cars and even passing a few

TMP is an easier track, but a faster one, so you will get passed a lot there. Much smoother than Mosport DDT.

If you guys come in quebec stop by on a monday evening at Autodrome St-Eustache. I lap almost every week!
