Brands Hatch - Clio 200 vs Yaris GR

Drizzly weather making things a bit slippery but good fun with an empty track all day.

Had a Clio 200 FF, Had a 208 GTi BPS, Had a Megane Mk4 280 and now have a GR Yaris. The Yaris leaves the others in all applications. The Megane was the comfiest and the Clio/208 were very close. For £5k though, nothing beats the Clio 200.

It’s obviously the driver here. As much as I like cars like the Clio RS, the GR Yaris is just a whole different animal.

Brilliant driving, and what a machine! Shame about the lights appearing on the dash.

Back at brands hatch love it! Yaris GR is over rated in my honest opinion for £35k plenty of bettter hothatches. Great car nonetheless 😎

[willbishop]

I think too many people commenting here are under estimating this Clio’s ability. The description suggests it has AST coilovers! Not playing about here.

If you had the same driving skills, same tyres in both cars surely the gry would be faster. Looking at the way the clio is braking it surely has semi slicks or ex perf tyres minimum. If the Gry is stock then its not really a fair play.
Great driving to the clip driver but no matter how good thr gry is, its its not setup like a track car its obvious that it will be slower. Especially seeing the skils of that driver in the gry.

No comparison here.
the Yaris has a lot of electronics keeping it on track, while yours are quite clearly disabled.
Either the yaris’ rear diff overheated, over revved & went into limp mode or your a far better driver!

[CREWTIMMAY]

Brah the way you caught up to the Yaris.. brilliant drive!
I have same model as yours with a crack on left front bumper near headlights .. any idea where or who is good to get it fixed please?
London/Kent based

Was that a learner in the YGR? Braking in the wrong county!

It's much easier to thrash and find the upper limits of a £5k car than a £35k car.

This is about the driver NOT the car ……

[MrLense]

Yeah the Yaris driver was just cruising. As much as love the classic hot hatches, a 30 grand 4wd rally car with 1 less cyclinder but still pushing almost 300hp stock will smoke our beloved clios any day.

Surely anyone with aspirations to drive quickly on track should know how to heel and toe.

[relentlesspursuit]

Comparing a GR to a Clio is a joke - the GR is lightyears ahead of a Clio in every way.

Even spending a stack if cash on a Clio, it still cannot beat a GR.

You buy a 5k Clio if that's all you can afford, quite simple.

Being a previous Clio 200 owner, I know they are good - but outdated and flawed vs modern day alternatives. They are cheap track cars, good entry level cars : but that's it
