I wish you could see what is going on at Polish GR facebook group at the moment - you'll have a good laugh. Basically every second/third post is an offer to sell dealer allocation or car available to pickup somwhere in the future at around 2,5-8k USD markup. Apparently dealers somehow managed to source additional cars lately (there was around 400 of them available at first for our market) from other markets so the bubble slowly starts to burst.

TBH that's one of the most common circuits used here for journos no matter what due to, I'm guessing, cost, noise (many of our circuits are noise limited) and availability. Weather here at the moment is generally pretty poor, especially near the Welsh coast. He does make a point that one a better day or longer circuit that it would be different, but I think that Llandow Circuit is pretty suited to check how well a car handles.

How would you feel if all BRZs were equipped with open differentials, in case you wanted to fix this you would have to change two of them and only BRZ tS (track package) was the model equipped with Torsen? This is the real situation with GR Yaris.
