?Ski Town USA? Hosting Upcoming Rally America Race
Ski Town USA will once again be host to one of the premier rally car racing events in the country. Rally Colorado, formerly known as the Colorado Cog Rally, is the 8th event out of 9 in the Rally America Series. Held in Steamboat Springs from September 11 - 14th, and commonly known by skiers for its ?champagne powder? on the slopes, Rally Colorado will welcome the nation?s top rally teams fresh after the Ojibwe Forests Rally in Minnesota. Subaru Rally Team USA, Travis Pastrana, extended his lead at Ojibwe and looks to cross the finish line in Colorado to defend his 2007 Rally America title. Only 11 points separates 2nd through 5th place in the overall standings, and both Ken Block and Andrew Pinker seek to gain ground over Andrew Comrie-Picard, who sits in the 2nd spot.
Thirty Mile McRae Convoy Smashes World Records
More than 1000 Subaru owners and thousands more fans celebrated the life of Colin McRae over the weekend of 30-31 August, smashing two world records on the way. The convoy of an estimated 1100 Subaru cars, which at its peak stretched for 30 miles, left Colin?s home town of Lanark on Saturday morning, led by his father Jimmy. Nine hours and 300 miles later, the snake of Subarus arrived at the headquarters of the Subaru World Rally Team in Banbury, UK. Demonstrating the extent to which Colin?s memory endures, thousands of fans packed every available motorway bridge along the route to be a part of this fantastic tribute.
Repco Rally New Zealand Challenges All Teams
Petter Solberg and Phil Mills finished the 38th running of Rally New Zealand in fourth position overall after a dramatic re-shake of the leaderboard on the rally?s penultimate stage. The Whaanga Coast test was the most beautiful of the rally, skirting the Pacific Ocean, but proved a bitter femme fatale for three of the leaders as the competition at the front raged to a nail-biting conclusion. The final day of Repco Rally New Zealand was a short, sharp affair, but was far and away the most dramatic and spectacular of the rally. Before a final running of the Mystery Creek spectator stage, four full-length speed tests took the crews west towards the surfers? paradise of Raglan. A combination of intense pressure and the fast and unforgiving rock-strewn roads of the penultimate Whaanga Coast stage gave the event an unexpected sting in the tail that turned the leaderboard on its head in remarkable fashion.
