Fensport GR Yaris 2026
Fensport GR Yaris 2026 Season
Really looking forward to 2026, it's going to be a tough year with the competition definitely hotting up! We now have 10 cars in our Pro class in the sprints. And new for 2026 is the inclusion of the Japanese Sprint Championship which runs within the Javelin Sprint Series.
Great to be back racing again! finishing 3rd overall in both Javelin & Japanese Sprint Championship.
2nd Overall at Croft Circuit 24/05/26
Race report from round 2 at Croft Circuit 😎 short version Adrian finished 2nd overall in the GR Yaris🏆 In more detail, it was hot, well hot for the UK, some 32 degrees and Adrian has been struggling with lack of boost pressure, we have the new Garrett G25-700 turbo and since fitting it we've lost boost both response and top end power, investigations to follow!
The new BC ZR 3 way adjustable suspension and more aggressive alignment has seen the handling improve, it rides and drives so smoothly and even braking at 100 board on the bumps the car was perfectly composed! So Adrian had to push in the braking zones and corners to try and keep up with the faster cars!
Congratulations to Andy Hughes in his mighty Impreza who took the win 👏 Adrian in 2nd and congratulations to Callum Holme in his Impreza in 3rd place just half a second behind 👏
We'll be back for Cadwell on the 4th July and hopefully our Yaris has all it's boost back!
2nd overall at Cadwell Park 04/07/26
Our GR Yaris is fixed, the G25-700 turbo is in the bin and we have re-installed the G25-660 and its way better on both response and top end power. The yaris ran perfect all day and Adrian set a new personal best time of 1:22.51 some 1.13s faster than last year, it still wasn't quite enough to beat Andy Hughes in his awesome 900hp Impreza!
Congratulations to Andy Hughes in his mighty Impreza who took the win 👏 Adrian in 2nd and congratulations to Callum Holme in his Impreza in 3rd place👏
We'll be back for round 4 at Blyton Park on the 2nd of August and hopefully our Yaris can get even closer to the top on a more twisty track 🤞
