The annual aftermarket extravaganza that is known as the SEMA Show will host the debut of Toyota Yaris B-Spec Club Racer that will compete in the SCCA B-spec class race category next year with Action Sports Star and BMX legend Jamie Bestwick behind the wheel.
Toyota said that Bestwick will try to qualify for and compete in the 2012 SCCA National Championship Runoffs, held at the Road America circuit in Elkhart Lake, Wiscosnin.
Built by SportsCar Magazine, Toyota’s new racer is based on the all-new, second generation 2012 Yaris hatchback and features a special livery that pays homage to the Japanese firm’s 1998 LeMans pole-winning GT-One racecar.
The three-door hatch has been stripped down and fitted with a roll cage as well as race-spec steering wheel and bucket seat for the driver. Other changes include performance upgrades to the chassis and engine while the car rides on P205/50ZR15 racing tires.
