SUBARU’S HOMAGE TO AN ICONIC MCRAE IMAGE TRAVIS PASTRANA PAID TRIBUTE TO COLIN MCRAE IN A RECENT PHOTOSHOT WITH HIS RALLY AND RECCE CARS IN MICHIGAN

Mondays have always been fairly busy days in Subaru dealerships – it’s something to do with all the winning they’ve done on Sundays.

The link between rally cars and selling metal on the road is as strong as it’s ever been and these two pictures – split by almost three decades – demonstrate the ongoing importance of Subaru’s motorsport activity.

Then defending world champion Colin McRae poses with a roadgoing Impreza alongside the glorious Group A Impreza 555 he used to capture the 1995 world title. Recreating that shot in Michigan last month, Travis Pastrana stands between Subaru’s new and very cool WRX with the ARA-dominating rally version behind him.

Pastrana was all-in for a modern take on the McRae shot.
