Time magazine labelled 2020 as the “worst year ever” for most of us alive today. We witnessed the widespread cancellation of gatherings, global lockdowns, and the far-reaching consequences these had on the economy. Our lifestyles have probably been changed as well. It’s a year to forget for many, but in the midst of all of it, the automotive world was gifted a rally homologation special – the Toyota GR Yaris. It was a car that made zero financial sense.

Decked in iconic Castrol colours, this 1998 JGTC Toyota Supra is undoubtedly one of the more iconic cars of our generation. If you’re anything like me and have spent some years playing Gran Turismo on the PlayStation, then you probably know this car.
