It’s been another busy week at the workshop, and one of the highlights was welcoming this Toyota GR Yaris – a car that’s fast becoming a legend on UK roads and race circuits alike. This hot hatch might be compact, but it’s built for serious performance, making it the perfect candidate for a track day setup.
Track day prep for road cars
Many of our customers drive their cars daily but also want them dialled in for occasional track days. A track day setup is all about making small, smart adjustments to ensure your car performs at its best on circuit, while still being comfortable and safe to drive home afterwards.
On this GR Yaris, we carried out a full check-over and made recommendations to prepare it for mixed use. Typical track prep includes:
- Geometry alignment – optimising camber, toe and caster for sharper handling.
- Corner weighting – balancing the car for predictable behaviour in high-speed corners.
- Brake checks and upgrades – ensuring fade resistance when pushed hard.
- Suspension adjustments – stiffening settings for track performance without compromising road comfort.
Why it matters
Even road cars with excellent factory setups – like the GR Yaris – benefit massively from bespoke adjustments. With a proper track day setup, you’ll enjoy:
- More confidence under braking and cornering
- Better tyre wear and performance
- Safer, more predictable handling at speed
