Serious Autocrossers? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I found the Yaris to be great for TT events, so long as the course really is a TT-style. A good TT course is more open than an autoX course, but less open than a road course/track event. Just be sure to pay attention to your brake temperatures. converting your foglight openings into brake ducts is very useful for this. There is a write-up ont his mod somewhere.
Also, SCCA ST-class allows the addition of brake ducts if you dont' have to modify the body work. It is legal to cur a hole in the fender liner for this purpose.

err, not sure what you mean by a TT. a TT to me, is a Time Trial. These are run on a full road course. It is usually run during an HPDE or a track event.
