Connoisseur of anti-lag.
Some cracking shots, though I particuarly like the shot by Doug Johnson. As the comment says, you are just waiting for the car to take off!
@SuzyWallace No worries! I was under the assumption it was Liam driving, it was only when I started looking at my photos I noticed Pat at the wheel!
Was a really good day out (other then getting baked in the sun!) with a VERY eclectic mix of cars, on and off track. Looking at my pictures I'm fairly sure it was Pat in the rallycross DS3 though, not Liam!
@WestMids91 There is nothing official annouced yet, but I understand that the follow up to DiRT 3 will have more "proper" rallycross content... keeping my fingers crossed!
Great article, got to love any feature with Stratos content: what a car!
Great article and, as many have said, a much closer reflection of the average Speedhunter readers garage. The passion that both the Evo and Impreza draw from owners still makes me smile: many just see an ugly, bulked out, four door saloon... to those they appeal to though, they are something FAR greater!
Incredible attention to detail. Seen a few of these lego engine builds now and I find it incredible how people can miniaturize the working function of a real engine: fantastic work!
*immediately adds Players Classic to calendar*. Seeing BADBUL will be awesome, but no chance of slipping MADBUL on the plane as well?... ;)
@greenroadster Its been a long time since Peugeot/PSA have been at Pikes Peak and things have changed a lot! Look at Gronholm and his attack on Pikes Peak: experienced driver, developed car... I'm not saying Loeb won't/can't do it: but its not going to be easy! As I said earlier though, none of the front running Unlimited cars made it to the top last year. If one of them does this year the record will surely be broken again.
Yeah, definately agree he will be one to watch. His X-Games win was perhaps a little hollow as he was in the best car and his biggest rival was in the hospital. And his win at Circuit de Pau wasn't his first GT race... but then you don't win 9 WRC titles without a bit of skill!
What a weapon. I knew Peugeot would produce something good, but I didn't expect it to look like this! Why on earth would they want to put a livery on it though? Run it as it is!
@greenroadster I'm not sure on that. I'm not questioning that Loeb is a huge talent - and I'm sure that Peugeot have poured a lot into this car - but Pikes Peak is never kind to rookies, so to come in the first year and dominate the climb is a big ask. if anyone can do it though, Loeb can... As for the record. if a front running unlimited car completes the climb this year, then I have no doubt the record will be smashed again.
Obviously its no laughing matter for the driver, but the presence of Pac Man in the first photo means I can't help but laugh when I look at it. Fantastic capture!
Shipping cost stung a bit, but chuffed I've order a copy to sit alongside Volume 1!
Arrrgggghhhh, I just realised that: bloody BST! I timed that break wrong, as no internet for me now until 9PMish...
I believe so! I have timed a 15 minute break at work to place my order, so hoping something is going to happen in the next 10 minutes...
Can't wait, will be timing a break at work for 5PM!
No matter how much video you watch of a rallycross Supercar in action, nothing compares to seeing them in action for yourself. Watching a supercar start from the line should be a mandatory experience for all petrolheads! PS: Thanks for the mention!
@Robo_No1 I think "still learning" would be a better word than "knowledgable"! Thanks very much for the comment though: and taking the time to read the article!
@stikitnowcom Apologies! I'm continually checking the site for the new book as well: sorry if I got your hopes up!
