For the love of driving

December the 6 to the 9th 2022 saw us run our inaugural GR Yaris tour through the Welsh countryside on Wales Rally GR in our newly acquired recce / lead car.

Red leader was joined by 8 other GR Yari, 6 in white and 2 in black, all with varying degrees of mod’s, with 1 even visiting Lichfield on route to the tour for a drive through style engine upgrade over lunch!

Following some really fantastic feedback, it certainly seems the event delivered on our mission statement, “For Love Of Driving” as everyone really enjoyed the hotels and route that we put together for this special GR tour.

The 500 mile route spread across 3 days, combined parts of our now, well tested Welsh supercar route, along with some very interesting and less familiar roads that ran past the forests used on the Wales Rally GB (WRGB) event run in 2001, the famous winner takes all battle between McRae and Burns held in the South of Wales.

Stage 2 and 3 of the tour took the cars past the famous stages of Dyfi and Dyfnant that featured on the final WRGB event in 2019, won by a GR Yaris of course!

The tour included 3 nights in 4 star accommodation with dinner each evening in South, central and North Wales, check out the event page for full details of the hotels used for this event.

The guys and gals enjoyed a perfect mix of rally conditions during the event, with the first stage being damp and then the second stage cold and dry with some lovely winter sunshine. However, the first 2 days were topped off, when everyone awoke to snow on the ground at Lake Vyrnwy for the start of the final stage through North Wales, a perfect finale to the tour for the little 4 wheel drive rally special Yari.

Please check out our event video for a true feel of what the tour was like, as video definitely speaks a thousand words on this tour!
