We were invited to the test, but they only wanted B-Spec cars. The 2012 was already in H Prod trim at that point - would have crushed the other cars, so its not a fair comparison - and Toyota did not want to take the old 98 B-Spec car so we politely declined.

Does it have lap times? Wondering if they beat what we did with the B-Spec car last year.

Not bad times. I did a 1:55 about 200lbs over weight, had a passenger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lBZlEM_85M

Which I believe as of the date that test was done may be incorrect... The Mazda guys were out watching at the Jan SCCA National we ran, but they did not bring their car. We asked them why, and they said because the car was not legal, the battery had been relocated and the parts were not available in the US at that time to fix it.

This is all part of the reason we pulled the plug on took the 2012 Yaris to H Production. So far only Honda and us (Toyota) have submitted the parts for our BS suspension kits to SCCA for testing, many manufacturers are still playing around. This is the second year the cars have been legal to run and people are still screwing around. And I would fully expect a manufacturer to send a hot car to a magazine test, you want your stuff to be on top.

Can't wait to hear it on track. The sound of shifts on a close ratio gearbox is like sex!

Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjOtkt34gJM

2-3-4-5 all used at Buttonwillow, a shift every 1500rpms. The close-ratio gears rock.

Sweeeet!! Sounds like 4th gear could have been a hair longer though but close gears are so much better.

Heading up to Buttonwillow this weekend for the final Double National road race of the season before the Runoffs. Looks like a good H Prod field, with five cars. Unfortunately Jamie could not make it, so the 2012 Yaris will sit this one out.

In less than a week our cars ship to the Runoffs... So this is the perfect day to order a new final drive gear set, six new wheels, and 18 more tires. I think its going to be a bit of a thrash come the weekend.
