5.2 -> my name is faye hadley and you can find
7.279 -> me on motor transmotor mythbusters and
9.12 -> all girls garage but maybe like some of
11.36 -> you watching this i started out my
12.559 -> career on the express maintenance rack
14.16 -> at my local toyota dealership and now
16 -> i'm here which is amazing kind of coming
17.92 -> full circle with the opportunity to
19.199 -> share this new amazing addition to the
21.199 -> gr family with y'all couldn't be more
23.439 -> stoked and if you happen to be a
24.96 -> motorsports fan like i am then you're
27.92 -> gonna recognize this name
34.39 -> [Music]
36.8 -> the one and only brian turk everybody
40.16 -> what's up guys i am formula drift driver
42 -> ryan turk and driver of the toyota
44 -> racing gr corolla and we actually just
46.559 -> had a phenomenal debut of the car
49.28 -> winning our first round of competition
50.8 -> this year uh which is an awesome way to
53.28 -> kick off the gr corolla platform and i'm
55.52 -> stoked to work with faye and talk about
57.84 -> the jr corolla i know we had an awesome
60.48 -> time out on the track just now and um so
63.199 -> you know i just taken some hot laps i
64.96 -> was feeling really comfortable in the
66 -> car
66.799 -> i had no idea what this car was capable
69.119 -> of handling wise until you got behind
71.04 -> the wheel so i'm glad that you're here
72.4 -> joining me i did my best i'm not a
74.08 -> professional road racer but i definitely
76.479 -> uh try to put it through his faces well
78.4 -> you sure fooled me and probably everyone
79.92 -> watching this so that being said let's
82 -> hop into the technical aspects of this
83.36 -> car
84.96 -> all right so i know we all want to geek
86.159 -> out on tech specs i know i do um but
88.159 -> before that there's a couple things i
89.439 -> want to touch on first so for those of
91.28 -> you that have been following the ghazi
92.64 -> racing product line since the very
93.92 -> beginning one thing i want to make very
96.24 -> clear is that the gr badge is not
98.079 -> something that is just slapped on the
99.36 -> back of a special edition model it is
101.439 -> actually earned exactly yeah mariso
104 -> actually delayed production of the gia
106.24 -> corolla for an entire year because it
107.92 -> didn't meet his standards
109.439 -> which is crazy i know like who does that
111.6 -> so they went back they fine-tuned the
113.439 -> car and
114.64 -> here we are today with an amazing
116.32 -> vehicle yeah and here we are today from
118.32 -> a consumer standpoint and also from the
120.24 -> driver's standpoint so it's really nice
121.52 -> to have your input on this so i can sort
122.96 -> of see through his eyes
124.96 -> but from the technical standpoint one
126.399 -> thing i think is
127.759 -> fascinating knowing that these cars are
130 -> each built by the best of the best at
132.48 -> the motomachi plant which is sort of
135.04 -> famous for the legendary lfa so we're
137.12 -> talking about rich heritage rich history
139.92 -> here
140.84 -> and we make this incredible hot hatch
143.84 -> sports car but that being said though i
145.84 -> just sort of want to get your opinion
147.36 -> like what makes this a sports car i
150.959 -> think i mean i gotta say number one
153.12 -> there's nothing i don't like about the
155.36 -> new gr corolla i think it is just top to
158.08 -> bottom absolutely unbelievable uh what
160.8 -> makes a sports car to me i guess is uh
164.56 -> you know something lightweight power
166.8 -> suspension uh drivetrain and i think
169.2 -> this car has all of those things that
172.16 -> you know make a sports car absolutely
173.76 -> and i mean from the outside i'm not a
175.599 -> race car driver so i don't have that
177.28 -> experience but from looking at it from a
178.72 -> consumer standpoint i will say this
180.319 -> thing looks aggressive every single vent
183.12 -> on this thing is functional it's got a
184.72 -> wide stand we've got an aggressive
186.159 -> stance and it just like i mean it looks
188.239 -> fast going still
189.519 -> it does
191.2 -> and powering this bad beast is the g16e
194.48 -> gts it's a 1.6 liter turbocharged
197.76 -> three-cylinder engine i can't let those
199.519 -> numbers fill you people this thing packs
201.12 -> an incredible 300 horsepower and 273
204.56 -> foot-pounds of torque at 4 000 rpm which
206.879 -> we definitely felt out there yeah the
208.56 -> car feels amazing pulling you out
210.56 -> especially those tight turns mated with
212.48 -> the six-speed transmission which is
214.239 -> geared perfectly
215.68 -> and the imt which is the rev matching
218.4 -> downshift and if there's we're in 2022
221.04 -> if there's some a button that i can
222.4 -> press that's going to rev match for me
224.08 -> i'm doing it especially if it makes me
225.68 -> seem like a better driver than i
226.879 -> actually am i will take it but speaking
229.2 -> of being out on the racetrack there was
230.319 -> something else that i noticed while you
231.519 -> were driving and that is the exhaust now
233.68 -> this is a spot where toyota actually
235.519 -> gathered a little bit more horsepower
237.04 -> from it's a three-piece exhaust uniquely
239.12 -> designed that has a flap that opens up
241.599 -> right around 4000 rpm releases the
243.519 -> horses from the stable and sounds
245.599 -> incredible while doing it it absolutely
247.599 -> sounds incredible another thing that is
249.36 -> incredible on this car is the gr4 system
252.56 -> and something that we got to test back
254.64 -> to back on three separate laps for the
256.72 -> three different modes which are sport
258.72 -> normal and track and my favorite was
261.04 -> track which is which is the 50 50 torque
263.6 -> split and then you have normal which is
265.44 -> 60 front 40 rear and then sport which is
268.16 -> the 30 front 70. so if you like a car
270.24 -> that drives off the rear end then sport
271.68 -> is definitely your choice and if that's
273.68 -> not enough there's also an available
275.84 -> torsion front and rear differential
277.44 -> setup so what you're saying is
280 -> million different ways that i can seem
281.36 -> like a better driver in this car so
283.199 -> whether we're going on dirt or snow or
285.6 -> the track or if you're just like going
287.199 -> to get groceries or something like that
288.479 -> there's a mode for you
290.08 -> and actually there's one more thing that
291.199 -> i wanted to hit on before we sort of
293.28 -> moved away from track and that was
294.8 -> something we really felt out there which
296.56 -> kind of a hallmark of the gr brand is
298.639 -> structural rigidity this thing felt
300.72 -> planted and that goes into the
301.919 -> engineering there's extra adhesives
303.84 -> extra weld points extra stiffness braces
306.479 -> and we really felt that and actually you
308.4 -> made reference to that especially during
310 -> heavy braking yeah i cannot say enough
312.479 -> good things about the braking system on
314 -> this car 14-inch four-piston fronts 11.7
317.12 -> inch two piston rears and we
319.68 -> were ripping for like four laps very
322.16 -> hard hard braking everywhere in the
324.32 -> brakes didn't fade once so i am beyond
326.72 -> impressed with the system that they put
328.08 -> on the gr corolla and this is something
330.8 -> that every new owner of a gr product
333.52 -> including the dr corolla gets to
334.88 -> experience for themselves because when
336.479 -> you buy one of these cars you get a
338.08 -> one-year membership to nasa and that
339.84 -> includes a high-performance driving
341.199 -> class so not all y'all have the
343.28 -> opportunity to experience what i
344.639 -> experience on the track today with a
345.919 -> professional driver behind the wheel but
348.16 -> you could actually experience a little
349.84 -> bit with a professional driver in your
351.52 -> passenger seat sort of giving you
352.88 -> instruction helping you feel what this
354.639 -> car has to offer so with that being said
357.52 -> i cannot thank you enough for this
359.12 -> experience it was so fun out there on
361.36 -> the track and i just i had a blast so
363.919 -> thank you for making time for us it's
365.12 -> been a pleasure working with you too and
367.52 -> so rather this we got to shake this
369.199 -> thing down today together it's pretty
370.8 -> cool so with that being said speaking of
372.88 -> track time we've got like a little bit
375.199 -> more time
376.72 -> to hit the track so let's go so we're
379.36 -> gonna go and y'all get to see what we
381.84 -> got to experience earlier today so
384.4 -> let's go bye bye
386.88 -> we're gonna start in normal mode which
388.479 -> is a 60 front forty rear awesome and
391.44 -> then i'm turning around the imt to help
393.12 -> rev match on downshifts oh that is so
395.36 -> cool in this amazing elite geared
397.84 -> six-speed transmission
400.08 -> all right so we are setting the baseline
402.24 -> all right well turning feels awesome
406 -> so stay patient on
412.08 -> number one i gotta say this car is
414 -> pretty forgiving oh my gosh on the
416.24 -> turn-in standpoint it feels like we're
418 -> floating
419.759 -> um watching the okay so there we have
422 -> cc500 rpm is where we're supposed to get
424.16 -> maximum horsepower i'm feeling it i
426.96 -> don't know exactly what speed but maybe
428.8 -> somewhere in here is where we start to
430.479 -> feel the stability coming in from those
432.319 -> functional vents i'm breaking as late as
434.56 -> i possibly can and i feel rock solid
437.919 -> we're gonna try track mode which is the
439.44 -> 50 50. okay
442.319 -> but the way this thing handles though
444.24 -> it's like there's nothing unpredictable
446.479 -> about it normally it's like i gotta be
448.16 -> the driver i gotta i've got to be able
449.919 -> to anticipate what the car is gonna do
452.08 -> it feels so planted and glue like so
454.56 -> easy to drive
456.24 -> very predictable the chassis is nice and
458.639 -> stiff this car took what like a year
461.52 -> longer than they wanted like they wanted
463.52 -> to put it out a year before they
464.72 -> actually did but it had to hold up to
467.84 -> akio toyotas yeah maritza
471.36 -> aka moritz expectations this car
474.479 -> embodies what you would expect from a
476.96 -> hot hatch so much better though the
479.36 -> performance wow
481.52 -> we're now in sport mode which is 30
484.16 -> front 70 rear
486.56 -> okay wow i should feel it drive off the
488.319 -> rear end a little bit yup it just
489.919 -> happened back there yeah wow okay
493.12 -> first of all switching between the modes
495.44 -> i was expecting to be able to feel
496.96 -> something it is so smooth the transition
499.919 -> between every single mode normal track
502.16 -> and sport so i can definitely vouch for
504.56 -> the race inspired seats yes i'm
507.199 -> definitely feeling that
508.8 -> the seats feel phenomenal i mean we are
510.879 -> we're putting these things through its
512.24 -> paces right now and i am not moving in a
514.24 -> scene no
515.44 -> i think this thing sounds amazing
518.08 -> oh you can tell right around 4000 rpm
520.479 -> when it opens up goes to that full
522.64 -> exhaust mode removes all of its
524.32 -> restrictors and just like really opens
526.08 -> itself up but then it has it feels like
528.08 -> it has that proper back pressure down
530 -> low before it opens up and start freeze
532.08 -> everything up for the top end i wonder
533.839 -> if that's where like the added torque or
536.399 -> that torque curve i think it's just like
537.92 -> maximum torque is like 3 500 rpm yeah so
540.64 -> it's like it's building it up and then
542.08 -> it's like releasing all the horses
544.72 -> into this like perfect little package of
548.88 -> hot hatch like turbo charge all-wheel
551.839 -> drive i don't know it's like cylinder
553.6 -> three cylinder making 300 horsepower and
556.8 -> 273 foot-pounds of torque i mean that's
559.12 -> that's a hundred horsepower per cylinder
561.6 -> that's from the factory from the factory
563.92 -> i mean i don't know what more you could
565.2 -> want
566.32 -> maybe a few more laps
567.92 -> maybe maybe maybe a few more laps
570.399 -> what's unique about these these calipers
572.24 -> too they're not floating style they're
573.6 -> planted like they sort of use on on were
575.519 -> the toyota trucks so you're actually
577.44 -> getting all four pistons in the front
579.04 -> caliper actually and rears are
581.2 -> are not floating either they're all
582.56 -> fixed calipers so like you're getting
585.279 -> maximum braking power you're getting all
587.12 -> of those brake pads pushing together at
588.72 -> this exact same time they're big it's a
591.04 -> big set of brakes yeah a 14-inch front
593.36 -> rotor and like i think it's 11
595.6 -> just under 12 inches on the rear it's
597.839 -> plenty of braking power for this car
603.91 -> [Music]
610.16 -> you
