The Porsche Cayman GT4, Mazda MX-5 and Toyota GR Yaris are among our favourite track day cars, but can they be improved? We pit stock against modded to find out –
: they each feel right at home on the circuit, tucking in eagerly to its slower turns, playful, adjustable and predictable. Seems like the BBR MX‑5 and 320bhp Litchfield-modified Yaris have their work cut out, as does the RPM Technik-fettled GT4 MR with its shorter gearing and Manthey Racing suspension.
This car, weighing in at 1202kg, has been BBR’s demonstrator for a few years now and has racked up over 35,000 miles, and it’s a testimony to the build quality of the base car that it feels almost box-fresh. It’s not quite as stylish inside as the ND but there’s the same short and snappy gearshift and lightweight feel, and an engine that’s got a bit more character thanks to the supercharger. Oh, and a whole lot more power and torque, of course.
It weighs in at 13kg heavier than the standard car and is winning even before it’s turned a wheel. Just look at its stance, and that colour. The dark metallic green paint is actually a painted wrap that Litchfield calls Paint Protection Spray. Nitron suspension sits the car lower, while filling the arches perfectly are wider Protrack rims that weigh about the same as the stock items but are shod with semi-slick but road-legal Nankang AR1s, which are very heavy.
With the standard GR Yaris already proving popular at trackdays while also being a car that responds well to a tuner’s deft touch, you can expect its paddock popularity to continue for some time to come.
