GR Yaris

[focus206]

All works Japanese Yaris GR retired on Shinshiro rally, they were also rather slow but I don't know what are the Japanese rules and neither know I anything about the drivers.

I noticed that too. There were two works Yaris, driven by Norihiko Katsuta (Takamoto's father, 8 times national rally champion) and Tomoyuki Shinkai (I know nothing about him). Katsuta retired on SS1, Shinkai retired on SS3 while fighting against Kovalainen's GT86 R3...
I'm not sure about the classes either, just that up until last year JN-1 was the main class, basically only Mitsubishi and Subaru... this year it seems they allowed other cars as well, there were also 2 Fabia R5, which ended in 3rd and 4th. 1st and 2nd were Hiroki Arai and his father, with 2 Subaru WRX, which probably are faster than FIA N4 Subaru...

Norihiko Katsuta won the last 4 rounds of the championship to win the title, beating Fukunaga (slower driver than Katsuta) who drives a Fabia R5.

In Italy there is a Cup with those cars: https://www.ewrc-results.com/season/...s-rally-cup-i/

I think the drivers aren't the fastest out there, so I think it's a bit complicated to compare performance/reliability...

Hans Weijs drove one as frontcar at a Dutch rally last week. His times were comparable to group N Evo X’s.

He has intentions to make a cup of it next year.

Is there difference in italy cars and portugal cars, or same tech level?
