Toyota GR Corolla vs Civic Type-R Drag Race! Best of three and rolling start (manual vs manual)

These are 2 of the best hot hatches money can buy right now. The front-wheel-drive Honda Civic Type R offers more power and torque but the Toyota GR Corolla has all-wheel-drive.
Which of these hatchbacks will win in a best of 3 standing race and a rolling race? We got the chance to put them head-to-head at Gerotek's testing facility in Pretoria. The concrete surface is extremely grippy and proved difficult to launch on, especially for the rev-limited Honda Civic Type R. But does the GR Corolla have enough pace to beat it over 400m? Watch Jacob and Ash put them to the test.
