Yes, you will get owned, and then some. At the same time, you can run in a "tire" class and probably be somewhat competitive. Honestly, until you get some experience in autox, it really won't matter what class you are in.

Also, many clubs have a "novice" class where you can drive any type of car and be indexed against the other novices based on your car class, but everyone is a novice. Great class for experience and not getting owned by experienced drivers, who can probably outdrive most newbies in a Yugo. :)

I just completed a season in novice, and I'm glad I did. If you really decide you are a killer driver and want to compete in Autox beyond the local events, then worry about getting your car/class worked-out to be competitive.

....but yes removing the backseat does put you in SM.

If you're in SM, add a supercharger/turbo and some slicks! It will be way fun - I'll sell you mine cheap!

While Yaris isnt much of an AX platform how about FSP? I think that would be decent class for well sorted Yaris - probably out gunned in HP but weight is decent. SM would be tough class in Yaris unless your went all out with 250 + HP turbo motor and lots of suspension work and huge slicks.

Its too bad Toyota doesnt offer a sports suspension package on this car. Little stiffer/lower spring the Yaris would be decent in Stock class due to its low weight.
