Video: Travis Pastrana calls out Ken Block in his new Boost Mobile Livery STi

I love how Travis is still around rocking his Subie even though many have shunned his circle track duties as of late. If you’re a true Travis Pastrana fan, you know that he hasn’t forgotten his Subie roots.
In this video that was just uploaded, Travis calls out Ken Block on his marketing campaign etc. It’s all good though and no one should take this all to seriously. After all, DC does cut Travis a paycheck from time to time. It’s like a friend calling you out during a game of ping pong… or fooseball… or maybe something a little more competitive.
Anyways, enjoy this video, I know I did (The car, not the women…. err, ladies… err… Grandmas?)
Video: Mark Higgins with an Amazing Save and Breaks Record

Autoblog UK reported that Mark Higgins has broken the TT record for this road rally in a standard WRX STi.
However, the event wasn’t without some peril as Higgins almost crashes hard as seen on these videos:
What I don’t understand is how calm and collected he is AFTER that save. I mean, I myself have had some crazy saves at the TRACK but on a city street with light poles everywhere. Also, who gave that co driver a tranquilizer shot before this ride because he was equally calm after that save!
So you can learn drifting in this STi, if you understood what he was saying

So I was snooping around the Facebook universe when I ran into this video:
CLICK HERE TO WATCH
The driver’s name is Abdo Feghali and looks like he’s got a pretty well set up Rear Wheel Drive STi. A few things I noticed was it was pretty basic. Meaning, it had no competition roll cage, no racing / safety interior bits, or anything crazy. Also did a quick search on him and looks like he’s a Redbull Driver for Rally and looks like he’s their spokes person for Redbull in their drifting competition going on in Abu Dhabi. Looks like a simple demo vehicle. There are series of these videos on their website. Check it out when you have a chance.
An Isis AM01 Super Car powered by an STi motor

Now this Dutch manufacturer has put together this racing prototype vehicle for homologation and it’s powered by an EJ20 STi motor on a 5 speed (we’re suspecting that it’s either the RA gears or a custom transmission – we would have opted for 6 speed) and it only weighs a dainty 1,875 lbs.
It can apparently go 0-60 at around 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 160mph (again, which backs up the RA Spec Gears theory). This can be yours for a banging $175,000.00!
Power to weight ratio is just about right but I don’t think it’s quite a super car with the weight. What’s your feedback?
Video Highlights of Dave Mirra and the Subaru Rally Team at GRC!

Dave Mirra had an interesting weekend. Seemingly driving his 2011 Subaru STi like a pissed off teenager and being as aggressive as he could. It was amazing to see how hard he was driving and how he was able to really battle it out with the others. Subaru has released this video of his performance and you can see how close some of these battles really were.

We saw some epic stuff from Global Rally Cross Round 2 in Seattle. With the rain, new ‘track’, and guys getting aggressive so they can make it to the Xgames finale we saw some intense competition.

So Check out this video that we found on Youtube with Dave Mirra with his destroyed rear end doing what he can to finish the heat! Enjoy!
