As it turns out, Subaru can still win a rally race. Despite the death of the WRX STI, Subaru has proved it’s not done with the platform yet. With road-going Subaru performance cars now limited to just the Subaru WRX and the BRZ, the STI name is gone for now. Despite that, it still carries some weight in the motorsports community, with Subaru winning the 2022 American Rally Association (ARA) championship. On top of that,… Read More →

Brandon Semenuk made history last weekend when he won his first ARA Presented by DirtFish National Championship, but there was one person quite possibly more excited about Semenuk’s win than himself. And that’s his team-mate, Travis Pastrana. Pastrana has been extremely vocal about his support of Semenuk over the past few years, often touting Semenuk’s performances over his own in DirtFish interviews. Read More →

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.

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.

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 →
