Watched that the other day ...all down to gearbox ratios, Yaris better off the line but the mini had the legs at the top end. Yaris would still be my choice 👍🏻

I’d hardly call that a spanking. Apart from which the Yaris was much quicker in the area that counts. Off the line and up to around 70.......
When I bought the wee VW from Hot Hatches they had one of those silly expensive Mini GPs there. Now I’m not against flash or racy looking cars but the Mini is pathetically over the top. Those silly big clumsy plastic mouldings are there because the wheels stick out past the arches. I would feel embarrassed driving one.
GR Yaris is expensive and definitely doesent look like a 33K car but who wouldn’t want one .....

The more powerful car was faster, lol
I think round a track, where grip off the line is irrelevant, that Yaris isn't going to see which way the mini went, miles faster.
Not a fan of either tbh. Far too expensive. Hot hatches should be affordable all-rounders and not take things to seriously. At that price point i'd be after a golf gti and of load of change.

Though it would be far more interesting to see which is quicker around an interesting circuit. Of course the more powerful, lighter, mini is going to win a straight drag race - over a rally stage it might be different ... |
