Travis Pastrana and Vermont SportsCar revealed Wednesday night they plan to run a new one-off race livery for this weekend’s Nitro Rallycross event dedicated to the late Ken Block.

In his 55 years on this earth, Ken Block squeezed in far more than most can ever manage in two lifetimes. You certainly couldn’t ever say that life within his inner circle was boring. Derek Dauncey can attest. From the very beginning of Ken’s motorsport life, former Mitsubishi man Dauncey was there by his side, working with him at Vermont SportsCar and then running Hoonigan Racing Division when Block went out on his own.

End-of-year lists are yesterday’s news. No, really, that’s what they are, but at least they’re usually interesting. This week the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety listed its top five most-watched crash-test videos for 2022. There weren’t many surprises on the list, except perhaps the surprise painted all over the airbags from the dummy’s marked-up faces. (Eds note: You’re a big man cheap-shotting a dummy like that.) The list contains many of the most popular or… Read More →

The Subaru Solterra electric SUV is the near-twin of the Toyota BZ4X. For a few reasons, what doesn’t work for Toyota works for Subaru, and that’s a good thing for Subaru. There’s two key ways to tell the Subaru from the Toyota as it comes toward you in traffic. Though Solterra wears the same amount of plastic cladding on its exterior as BZ4X, the front, where Toyota features its emblem on the top of the… Read More →

Hours spent waiting and shivering in the freezing forest, first to hear the howl of the turbo echo through the trees, then witness just a thrilling split second as a flash of blue rushes by – off-road poetry in motion. This was the kind of devotion that the legendary Colin McRae inspired in fans while at the wheel of his Subaru Impreza 555 – a instantly recognisable machine which soon became as much of a… Read More →

Travis Pastrana’s newest “Gymkhana” automobile is a 1983 Subaru GL wagon known as the Household Huckster. It could not seem to be an apparent alternative for one in all these builds, however the GL wagon made good sense to Pastrana and his crew. As defined in an episode of Subaru of America’s “Launch Management” YouTube present, Pastrana wished to observe up the Subaru WRX STI Airslayer, the one-off STI he drove in “Gymkhana 2020” and… Read More →

A celebration in blue and gold Few sights get us more excited than a blue and gold Subaru ripping through a Welsh forest, scattering mud and gravel as flames erupt from its exhaust. Many great Subaru road cars were also inspired by rallying success – such as the 1998 Impreza Terzo special edition seen above. Starting back in 1989, we’ll take a journey through the greatest sporting Subarus. Sit down and strap in for a… Read More →
