Can a Tuned GR Yaris Beat a BMW M2 on Track?

It’s time for another Driven+ Track Battle — and this one’s a proper showdown between lightweight agility and brute power. In this episode, we’re putting a tuned Toyota GR Yaris up against a track-prepped BMW M2 to find out whether precision and grip can really take down raw pace and rear-wheel-drive drama. The GR Yaris has been modified to bring out its rally-bred potential — upgraded suspension, track tyres, and a tuned engine pushing well beyond stock power. Meanwhile, the M2 has been fully prepped for circuit use with coilovers, sticky rubber, uprated brakes, and a few weight-saving tweaks — making it sharper than ever. Behind the wheel, we’ve got racing driver Sam Maher-Loughnan, who’ll be putting both cars to the test on the same track, same day, and same conditions to see which one can set the faster lap time. Will the featherweight, all-wheel-drive Yaris punch above its weight? Or will the M2’s straight-six power and rear-drive balance prove unbeatable on the stopwatch? 🔥 Cars Featured: Toyota GR Yaris (Tuned & Track-Ready) BMW M2 (Track-Prepped) https://roadtwoautomotive.co.uk 🏁 Driver: Sam Maher-Loughnan 🎥 Presented by: Max Haftavani – Driven+ 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you never miss a Driven+ track battle! #DrivenPlus #TrackBattle #GRYaris #BMWM2 #ToyotaVsBMW #SamMaherLoughnan #MaxHaftavani #CarReview #LapTime #TunedCars #BMWMPerformance #GRYarisTuned
