How’s this for a car vs bike drag race?!

Mat’s lining up in a Toyota GR Yaris, and he’s lining up against a Dakar Rally-winning GASGAS RX 450F!

So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the GR Yaris, it’s powered by a 1.6-litre 3-cylinder turbo engine that delivers 264hp and 360Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and the car tips the scales at 1,280kg.

As for the bike, well it’s a whole lot lighter, coming in at around 150kg! It’s powered by a 450cc fuel-injected single cylinder which can deliver around 72hp and 150Nm of torque. So sure, it’s way down on power, but it’s SO much lighter than the Yaris! What's more, it's also being ridden by none other than two-time Dakar rally winner Sam Sunderland!

However, that’s not all. If the GR Yaris isn’t up to it, we’ve also got a Toyota Supra joining us! This is powered by a 3-litre straight-six turbo that can produce 387hp and 500Nm. However, along with more power, there’s also more weight, coming in at around 1,500kg. What’s more, whereas the Yaris was all-wheel-drive, the Supra is only rear-wheel-drive!

So how will this play out - will the super-light bike power to victory? Or will one of the cars snatch victory? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
