It’s Travis Pastrana, what did you expect? The all-action American hero wanted to explain his absence from this week’s Olympus Rally. What came was never going to be normal. There’s nothing normal about #199. The guy is the closest thing to a living, breathing Superman I’ve ever seen. Which made seeing him on the first two rounds of this year’s ARA just that bit harder. Pastrana is one of the untouchables. He doesn’t so much… Read More →

Subaru USA Motorsports’ ARA assault will be back to one car for this week’s Olympus Rally as Travis Pastrana undergoes treatment on a damaged hip instead of tearing up the Washington woods in WRX #199. The six-time champion explained the pain he’s been in since breaking his back – it’s that pain which has affected his performance since returning from a season away from the sport and will keep him out of the car in… Read More →

The standard Subaru Impreza, when it first arrived on UK shores way back in 1993, was quite dull if we’re being honest. Based on a chopped down version of the Legacy’s platform, the Japanese carmaker had rallying in mind when it was developing the car, though you wouldn’t have known it at first. This was the car that rallying was supposed to sell. The boring version of the car even came in front-wheel-drive flavour, but… Read More →

The full gamut of emotions were on show at the stop line of the Kuri Bush stage, which closed out yet another classic – in every sense of the word – Otago Rally on Sunday afternoon. Kris Meeke? Brandon Semenuk? They can wait. The first word has to go to Jack Hawkeswood. The 23-year-old Kiwi was never going to steal the limelight from such lauded company as five-time world rally winner Meeke and two-time American… Read More →

Surrounded by stars at this week’s Otago Rally, it was Kiwi Jack Hawkeswood who shone the brightest at the end of the opening day’s action on the Dunedin-based event. The 23-year-old charged out of the blocks at a blistering pace, winning the first two stages to lay the foundations for a lead he wouldn’t surrender through Saturday’s eight stages and 90 miles of competition. The Toyota GR Yaris AP4 driver holds a 19.4-second lead over… Read More →

You know Brandon Semenuk won last month’s 100 Acre Wood Rally. You know Micah Nickelson’s Golf was unbeaten in Open Two-Wheel Drive on the same event. How do you know? Because Marni Nagy told you. OK, she didn’t actually tell you. But Marni oversees the systems to broadcast the news you wanted. Nagy is the ARA’s business manager, but it’s actually impossible – not to mention unfair – to pigeonhole her. She’s one of the key players… Read More →

It’s sometimes easy to overlook the backbone of the Central Machine Hire Otago Rally when you’re staring at Kris Meeke in that Escort. Or Brandon Semenuk in a Subaru Impreza H6. But there is – as always – so much more to this week than a couple of rallying rockstars who’ve made the trip south. In terms of New Zealand rallying, this weekend represents a land of opportunity. There’s very much a feeling of the… Read More →
