Welcome to The Fastest, an OG Battle sub-series where brave enthusiasts owning the same brand,
make or model, line up to put their builds to the test and race for the title of The Fastest.
The community is done with the talking, it's time for some action
and today the three cylinders are out to play. Stay tuned for this one and let's get it.

So welcome back to The Fastest, here at the mighty Mano Battlegrounds and after a country-wide
call-out for the fastest Toyota GR Yaris, some of the UK's craziest 1.6 litre three-cylinder
pocket rockets showed up to go to war. Today, it's an all-Toyota, all-wheel-drive,
sequential showdown and it's gonna be sick. And in partnership with RaceLogic, we're gonna be
carrying out two sets of races. First up today, it's a quarter-mile roll race. Next up, it's a
drag race to the quarter-mile. All races are best of three and the V-Box Performance Box Touch will
be recording data such as 0-60s, quarter-mile times and more to give you guys the stats on
how this savage trio perform. Let's get over and meet the builds and their owners.
So first up today, introducing Andrew to the battles in his savage 1.6 litre,
inline three-cylinder, turbo-powered, 570 brake horsepower Toyota GR Yaris,
built by a mix of Andrew and Whiff Bits and tuned by Garage Whiff Bits. Mods coming up.
And he's gonna be stepping up against. Welcoming Chris back to the channel
in his crazy 1.6 litre, inline three-cylinder, turbo-powered, 700 brake horsepower Toyota GR
Yaris, built and tuned by SRD Tuning and unbelievably can actually run up to 800
brake horsepower but has kept it at a sensible 700 for today's races. Mods coming up.
And last but certainly not least, they're both going to be stepping up against Pete
in his mental 1.6 litre, inline three-cylinder, turbo-powered, 600 brake horsepower Toyota GR
Yaris, built and tuned by Paul Whiffin at Garage Whiff Bits. Mods coming up.
So, first up today is the roll races but before we get cracking,
let's get a couple of sound checks.
Okay, so let me know down below in the comments which one of the three won the sound check
and let's race. Ready to go. No expectations. I want to see how quick Chris is going.
But mine's a daily. I drove here. I'm driving back as long as I don't break in.
Right, so today my expectations are going to be third in the drag and the rolling race.
I did come wanting to be better but I'm a little bit down on power today
but we shall see. Well, here we go. Battle of the GR Yarises.
Two good mates of mine. Massive shout out to the builders, SRD Tuning and Whiff Bits.
GR71PPY was even in there yesterday getting stuff done so massive, massive appreciation to them
guys at Whiff Bits. We're here to have fun and let's see if all the money was worth it.
Okay, okay. Crispy, crispy shifts right there. From where I'm standing, I'm going to say it
looks like the car in the middle, the black... So we're going to have a problem today. We've
got three Yarises. Two of them are black. They're all black. One's got stickers so I don't know how
to call it. I'm going to say middle lane, just one, followed by the car with the stickers in
the right-hand lane. But let's find out. Finish line, finish line. Who won that?
Oh, now we know.
And Andrew in the middle lane pulls out front, holding the lead into around mid-track until
Chris's turbo starts singing. He drives round him and takes the win by around two car lengths.
Andrew comes second, beating Pete by around three car lengths. Let's line them back up and go again.
Okay, that time I'm going to say it went the same way but quite cleanly
to the GR with delivery on. Listen, for little three-cylinder cars, the way they're moving,
the way they sound is crazy. These things are mental. Let's find out exactly who won and by
how much. Finish line, finish line. Who won that? Now we know. Let's line them back up for... Let's
line them up, in fact, for a drag race. So let's just take a look over at the fastest 100 to 200
times achieved during the runs using the V-Box PVTs. And unsurprisingly, Chris's Yaris, the one
with the livery, goes fastest, going 100 to 200 kph in just 6.17 seconds. Interestingly, Pete in
the left lane runs the second fastest time, going 100 to 200 in 7.39 seconds, just beating Andrew
in the middle lane's best time of 7.44 seconds. However, all three cars just off pace to chart
with the Elite 15. And round one goes to Chris. Next up, it's the drag races and we've got three
savage little all-wheel drive cars. This is definitely where things get interesting. Place
your bets and let's race. Ready, ready, ready, ready, set, go. Impressed. I'm impressed there.
I'm sorry, seeing these little cars just dip off the line, flames and everything,
ignition cut going wild out here, sequential... Hey, listen, this is mad. These little GRs are mad.
But I'm going to say the far left one that time, who might be the least power here, I'm not sure,
let's find out. Finish line, finish line, who won that? That is an insane result. Let's line
them back up and go again. That tracks it off. You're f***ing gone. And the tables absolutely
flip with Pete in the left lane's crazy reaction times getting him out front and he holds the lead
all the way to the finish, beating Andrew in the middle lane by around three car lengths.
Chris in the right lane comes last, around four car lengths behind Andrew.
Mad. Let's line them back up and go again. When he says ready, wait for that lane,
that lane in there. Not, not, not, wait for that. I'm trying to be fair. No, wait,
no, they've got to win one race today. Ready, ready, ready, ready, set, go.
So again, mad seeing them leave. So far right lane here, it seems like he's having trouble
spooling off the line or he's not on the launch control long enough. So he looked like he had to
run them down, but it looks like he could have run both cars down there, but let's find out.
Finish line, finish line. Who won that? Either that or middle lane.
So that was actually about two car lengths behind.
Oh, he ran them down. That's mad. All right, let's line them back up.
And once again, the tables turn. Andrew in the middle lane gets a great launch and holds the
lead right to the last moment. However, Chris manages to just run him down and takes the win
by around half a car length. Mad. Pete comes last, around two car lengths behind.
Let's line them back up and go again. Mustard to ****. Yeah, I know. I'm on a delayed reaction.
You just get on it when he says ready over there. Yeah, I'm going to go.
Just hold it flat out. You're not, you're waiting for him to go either.
Just **** off. Just leave it there. It'll build the boost and when you go, it'll go.
Who brought him? Get my lift home. Ready. Ready. Ready. Ready.
Left lane. Left lane's done it. I don't know if right lane's struggling with getting that on
boost. Left lane done it. It looks like the middle lane has stopped halfway or come off
the throttle at least. I'm not sure why. Let's find out exactly who won. Finish line. Finish line.
Who won that and by how much? That was a strong game. Do you want to do that? We can do a bonus
round. I'll leave the cameras recording. Yeah, do it. Do it. Oh, **** it. All right. All right,
boys. We're going to line up one more time. One more time. We know technically far left lane has
won, but we just want to do a bonus round for science's sake. Chris, unfortunately you're
going to have to get out your car, mate. Ash has said he wants to have a go in your car.
Yeah? Okay. Yeah? All right. Chris is driving his own car. All right, yes. I'll launch it up.
You're making my social media awful. Another 500 keyboard warriors.
Everyone's standing and going, come on. All right. The drag races at least,
which is absolutely sick, yeah? Cool, but we're swapping drivers in that car, yeah,
for a bonus race because, mate, he's making a bit of a... He's fudging his start.
No worries. All right? Yeah, happy days. He's doing too well driving his own car.
The results are how they stand. He's won the drags, right? But a bonus race,
you're going to get a different driver in his car because he's farting up these starts.
So if you're happy to go one more time. Yeah, yeah. Ready? Ready?
Come here, sir. Come here. Right now. My name's Ash. So now... Sorry, mate. That is how you launch
your car, yeah? Sorry. All right? Sorry. All right? Here we go. Go on, get him in. My excuse,
right? Go on. It's my fault. Good man, he's owned up. Wicked. No, wicked, wicked, wicked.
That's how you launch it. Engine management wise. Better launch? There you go, bro. There
you go. Thank you, bro. And Ash from SRD shows Chris just what his car's actually capable of,
taking a win by a train length. So now you know. So let's just take a look over at the fastest
quarter mile and zero to 60 times achieved during the runs using the V-Box PVTs. And with Ash
driving Chris's car, he manages to record the fastest quarter mile, covering the distance in
just 11.01 seconds at a speed of 132 miles per hour and drops into 12th position on the all-wheel
drive manual leaderboard. FYI, Chris's best attempt recorded an 11.13 second quarter mile
at 130 miles per hour. The other two run almost identical times with Pete just edging it,
recording an 11.28 second quarter mile at a speed of 126 miles per hour, just beating Andrew's best
time of 11.29 seconds at an identical trap speed of 126 miles per hour. However, both lads just off
pace to chart with the top 15. Then taking a look over at the fastest zero to 60 times achieved,
once again, Ash pilots Chris's car to the fastest time, hitting 60 in a rapid 3.14 seconds and drops
into a joint 11th position on the board. FYI, the best Chris could do was a 3.35 second zero to 60.
Pete in the left lane manages the second fastest time, getting to 60 in just 3.20 seconds and drops
into 15th position. Andrew, not too far behind him, runs the best zero to 60 time of 3.25 seconds,
just missing out on the top 15. So today, we lined up three crazy little three-cylinder weapons and
got a massive mixed bag of results. There's no denying that when Chris's Yaris is actually driven
right, it's absolutely rapid, literally running all of the fastest times to date and taking most
race wins in the process. The other lads run incredibly tight races for slightly lesser
powered variants, with Andrew really putting in the work on the rolls. Pete's reaction times,
driver's skill and his quick spooling turbo managed to earn him the overall drag race victory,
taking on some tough competition. All three builds show just how crazy and far the tuning
game has come, running insane power from tiny engines. A massive shout out to all involved in
all three builds and of course, all the lads for stepping up and laying rubber for the culture.
So guys, as usual, let me know down below in the comments, if you could only have one of the three
set on your drive, which one would it be and why? And if you have enjoyed today's races, if you
