Over 26 seconds to the good, fresh from doubling his lead on the previous stage, things were looking fantastic for Ken Block last Friday. Right up until the moment they weren’t. Caught out by patches of mud over a crest in exceptionally filthy conditions, Block slid off the road and into the trees – damaging his Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC beyond repair. A fourth Lake Superior Performance Rally win? Gone. But more than that, he’d… Read More →

Semenuk entered the rally behind Ken Block in the championship, but life was made a lot easier for him after Ken Block crashed on Friday’s penultimate stage. It was initially expected that Block would restart on Saturday, but that didn’t happen after it was discovered that the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC had suffered significant damage to the suspension,… Read More →

Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino are OK after crashing out of a crucial lead during the first day of the 2022 Lake Superior Performance Rally. Block, who led the first six stages of the rally, had managed to put nearly 25 seconds between himself and second place Brandon Semenuk before an off on the seventh stage took him out of the rally. The head Hoonigan in charge is leading the 2022 American Rally Association presented… Read More →

Since 2014, North America has been deprived of the Subaru WRX hatch. That came as a result of Subaru spinning off the WRX into its own model line, rather than being a variant of the Impreza. Subaru sells an automatic-only WRX Wagon called the Levorg in various markets, but we (I) have a better idea—a Crosstrek WRX. This is something that’s seemed obvious for a few years now. As a brief refresher, the Crosstrek is… Read More →

The 2022 Lake Superior Performance Rally may be one of, if not the most important rally of Ken Block’s entire career to this point. While he’s rallied all around the world and had many a great battle, he’s never been so close to winning a championship, nor in such a tight fight as this. After his absolutely dominant performance on the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally, Block finds himself leading the American Rally Association presented by… Read More →

Before becoming Subaru, the company was formerly called Fuji Heavy Industries, which, in turn, started out as the Aircraft Research Laboratory in 1915. The business went through a restructure in 1932 to become the Nakajima Aircraft Company Ltd, and it quickly rose to prominence as chief aircraft manufacturer for Japan during World War II. Nakajima Aircraft underwent another reorganization following the Second World War and this time, it became Fuji Sangyo Co. Ltd. The anti-zaibatsu… Read More →

One man who has had a hard job this year has been Preston Osborn. As competition director for the American Rally Association presented by DirtFish National championship, Osborn has been working hard behind the scenes to ensure equal competition between Hoonigan Racing Division and Subaru Motorsports USA among his countless other jobs for the series. While Osborn obviously can’t control what drivers do on stage, it’s hard to say he and his team didn’t have… Read More →

Here is a sad truth. Instead of celebrating their signature Symmetrical AWD with a cool, rally-inspired high-performance four-door, Subaru has silently joined that important 50th anniversary with the third generation of the Crosstrek CUV. Read More →

Mighty Car Mods has long been one of my favorite Youtube channels. Known for modifying a variety of cars in an incredibly informative and interesting way on video, these guys have progressed immensely since their first video in 2008. Their latest creation is arguably their coolest: a Subaru Impreza WRX STI swapped Subaru Levorg, which is the wagon version of the Impreza that we never got stateside. Read More →
