The 2021 Toyota GR Yaris is a future classic for sure and much has been talked about its hair-raising performance. To the delight of our eyes and ears, one driver has put that claim to the test at the Nürburgring. Driven by someone called Captain Gaskrank on YouTube, the GR Yaris can be seen blasting away at the famed 'Green Hell', clocking a bridge to gantry (BTG) time of 7 minutes and 56 seconds.
