was reading somewere that subaru will give a new driver a chance at the end of the season ........

His name is Travis Pastrana he's from the usa and if you look here he'll fit right in at subaru

Didn't Pastrami win ROC in '05?

Not clicked the link 'cos it's probably the Xgames thingy with McRash. Don't mind the clip, but detest the American commentary.

 

"Are you alive are you alive, that was one hell of ride yahoooooooooooooo"

Americans extreming it since columbus

 

That was a big crash though.. A bit like James's, but smaller.

 

you mean X games sticky and no its a real rally while an american one ... with no commentery

 

this is more like me

Good footage but Oh dear - it's so obvious it's not his car or money he's just wrecked...

 

i remember doing that ................... o no wait im not a thick dumb **** fooking ... I SO HOPE HE ENDS UP IN THE WRC

 

I think he'd be entertaining and competitive, but look at how Colin ripped him apart at the X games.....almots won even with a 5 second roll.......Subaru should bring the legend that is MacRae back to the rallying scene......then we will see just how fast Loeb really is

 

IMHO Colin is a living legend but would not win the championship he's simply past it .......... But and this is a big "BUT!!!" he should be back in the team for the simple reason he will entertain you and every now and then show the younger lot how its done .......... that and subaru would sell cars in there thousands again just off his name

 

You've just explained yourself why Subaru won't give McCrash another drive:

1/ He almost won it, second place is first loser

2/ How many opportunities to win the WRC did thatinability to keep it rubber side down cost him

3/ We've already seen how fast Loeb really is, when he p!ssed all over McRae in terms of pace and consistency


And why exactly do you think they are investing so much effort in to Pastrana America is a huge barely tapped market, and he's a national hero, do the maths Besides he's not exactly boring behind the wheel either is he Let's just see how long it is before he's become the first person to backflip a car

 

You could also argue the car isn't that competitive. Would it win in the hands of Loeb??

Therefore, until the package does become better why not get some exposure in the US, some 'Yahoooing' and a little personality back in to the sport?

 

https://www.scoobynet.com/wyioc-even...offee-run.html I think he should be given a guest drive or the USA subaru team should enter into the Mexico Rally. Or are the cars specifications completly different.

 

But Travis is not a racer, he could not cut it racing AMA so he moved to that freestyle crap. What about giving Valentino Rossi a go, now that lad can race a car.

 

so true but the super star wages would kill subaru Hence 1 decent driver and 1 tree finder .........

AL you have a point...... the car is simply too big did you ever see the xsara fookin tiny and the C4 not much bigger think back at the 206 and the ford focus and the skoda moved from the big octavia to the fabia , there all small hatches .... why do you think the Evos have vanished

I find the sport at the moment in a sad state of affairs ..... no british drivers and my beloved team hitting everything in sight ......

the subaru can be summed up through Miko hirvonin he was at subaru and he was SH1te to say the least never could get to grips with the car .... put him back in the focus and he's 3rd in the championship

as far as putting the american in **** that .... his CO-Driver told him twice caution left 5 minus in to right 5 plus ....... so thats a 5 left which is about as sharpe as my wit and still he **** ditched it ..... i personly cannot stand that reaction yyyaaaaaaahhhhhhooooooo ive just crashed **** the championship and **** subaru is what he really is sayin Dosey fooking yank.......

rant over

JB

 

he could not cut it in ama erm 125cc national titles say he could and when he moved up to 250cc he was faster than carmicheal it was the fact he had no knee's left to continue racing and the fact he used to crash a lot

i think he is quality

 

He can crash in a scooby so i suppose that makes him good enough for the WRC, Once again subaru will come nowhere in the points

 

Being fast for a couple of laps is no good, you have to do it for a full season. And Carmichael is not the fastest at the moment, now James Stewart is fast. But i will give it to you that Travis is a talented rider
