Looks great, love the cage (wonder if that would fit the previous gen).

Is the center "screen" (where our normal radio would go) stock or a driver display? GPS for Jamie?

I doubt that cage will fit the older car, the new chassis has a lower roof. And this one was a rush job, I took them the car with no interior, so I don't think they took any measurements.

Lap timer/data/driver coach for Jamie. http://www.rlcracing.com/track-commander-auto.htm

Before we started the project Jamie joked that he wanted to be able to listen to his tunes while racing. So I relocated the USB/audio link from the glove box to center console by the e-brake just to have some fun with him... It just doesn't seem to work so well without the rest of the audio system.

^ That's a really cool data set up -- jealous!

So I was right about GPS, but not in the joking way I meant it. LOL

I'm kinda suprised to see all the dash in there after seeing the previous gen race car had no dash in it. Is that extra weight that could be gone?

If he can't find his way around we will get an in-car radio system so we can yell directions at him.

But we don't anticipate any problems... He has a good deal of experience racing. He did a four day Fast Lane Racing School before competing in the Toyota Celebrity GP at Long Beach. He has also done the Mustang school at Miller Motorsports park, and spends some off time road racing a sport bike.

Different class, different rules. One of the staples of the new Yaris is the new interior, we certainly couldn't take the best part of it out for the show.

The 2011 SEMA show T-shirt from Toyota (I could be a little biased, but I liked last years shirt better)

Funny you should mention GPS, as it is now the system most race sanctioning bodies are looking to convert to for timing and scoring. We (NASA) have been working with Track Mate timing systems at most all of our tracks to build a data base for switching to a GPS timing system in the very near future. At this time we are using an ABM transponder based system with a timing line cut into each tracks start/finish stripe. One way we have been able to use the GPS, is for real time performance testing of our spec class cars, finding out who might be pushing the limits on power to weight and such things!

The new shirt is a good play on the ads, and I wouldn't mind owning one.

Question is though, which is better pre-2012, or 2012? The shorter roof line should help.

The shorter roof line should help at fast tracks. The nose also seems to be less square, so more air should go over the car, instead of under it. Added bonus is the longer wheelbase, which should help stability.

On paper the new car looks better to me. We will find out in Jan.
