The two turns of the Height o’ Land stage on the Ojibwe Forests Rally are probably the most iconic stretch of stage road in the US.

In preparation for Ojibwe this writer was showing the spot off to a few people, and was met with some concern over the safety of… Read More →

Few compact cars have the same World Rally Championship pedigree as the Subaru WRX. The first- to fourth-generation models were Impreza-based rallying machines with turbo Boxer engines, all-wheel-drive, and stiff suspension.

It’s for Subaru’s fiercely loyal customers, and specifically the great many who outgrow their Foresters and Outbacks. Admittedly, that’s an awful lot of people these days given Subaru’s constantly increasing popularity. And with the Ascent, they’ll get loads of extra space, but with the same 8.7 inches of ground clearance, beefy roof rails, user-friendly controls and no-nonsense cabin design. The Ascent… Read More →

From fractured foglights to gravel-rashed chassis, the Alcan 5000 Rally has challenged adventure vehicles of all types and sizes. Since 1984, the Alcan 5000 Rally has tested an endless array of adventure rides. From highly customized Jeeps and tricked-out Toyotas to rad Rangers and oddball 4x4s like the author’s 1991 right-hand-drive Mitsubishi Pajero, the Alcan 5000 Rally has staked its claim as one of North America’s longest and most grueling rally competitions.

H ybrid power in the World Rally Championship might feel like it’s still in its infancy, but there’s already plenty of talk about the future of power delivery beyond 2024. And Toyota’s Jari-Matti Latvala doesn’t believe electric is the one to pursue. Teams have had plenty of time to assess the hybrid units after nine rounds of this year’s WRC season, and although there were some initial technical gremlins, Latvala has been encouraged by its… Read More →
