Drive to Revive Ep1: The start of the Toyota GR Yaris Cup

18 Mar 2022

How to turn a very fast Toyota GR Yaris into a race-winning machine. Our in-house racer takes to the track in the pocket rocket to see if he can still cut it as a racing driver.

Drive to Revive a racing career is a series about our in-house wannabee racer Ashley Oldfield and his attempt to revive his racing career.

Watch as he takes part in the newly formed Toyota GR Yaris Cup series where the cars are mechanically stock standard and everything is identical down to the tyre pressures.

Episode 1 is all about ‘the shakedown’ and building the GR Yaris race cars. Ash gets to turn his first few laps in the car and goes on the hunt for faster lap times.

Has Ash still got any speed left in him or will he be left to fight it out at the back of this newly-formed brat pack?
