Toyota Pushes Ahead With Mid-Engined Development

Toyota is moving forward with its mid-engined sports car programme, even after early reports suggested the development team had run into major challenges with its GR Yaris M Concept test car. Instead of slowing down, engineers refined the prototype and recently secured a third-place finish in their class in Japan’s Super Taikyu Series, signalling that progress remains steady.This project has been under development for some time and is widely believed to be the foundation for a new-generation MR2. Until the production model is ready, Toyota is using a heavily modified GR Yaris to test its mid-engine layout, convinced that the setup has the potential to outperform what the current Yaris platform can achieve.

Surratt, Meronk Share Lead in Riyadh Opener

Caleb Surratt and Adrian Meronk fired matching nine-under 62s to lead the opening round of the PIF Saudi International at Riyadh Golf Club. They sit ahead of Thomas Pieters (63) and Kiradech Aphibarnrat (64) in the season-ending event on The International Series. Both early leaders have strong history here — Surratt once shot a course-record 61 at this venue, while Meronk won the LIV Golf Riyadh title in February.Surratt threatened another record after a blistering seven-under 29 on the back nine, including six straight birdies, before a bogey on the fourth stalled his 59 bid. The 21-year-old, still searching for his first LIV win, said he’s gaining confidence after several close calls this season. Meronk, meanwhile, said the course simply “suits my game,” praising the greens and his comfort on the layout.
