You are correct, it was 2003. It won in FSP, Beating a slew of Scirocco's and a Mazda Protége. Mind you, he is also a professional driver and that car was extensively modified to the constraints of the rule book (I.E not stock). Also, for comparison purposes, note the class ranking for the car has gone down for competitive performance reasons in the last 10 years. It used to be in the same ranks as the Miata's and MR2's back when they were all in ES. (Now the Miata is both ES and CS, and MR2 is all over the place lol). I never said the Corolla was a slouch; just that it’s not some super handling monster.
