I had a blast watching the races. Only thing that upset me was that there was a server weather warning that took my broadcast out of HD during the the race where the evo fliped.

Serious, watching them drive was amazing. If I could drive with half the skill they have I would be happy. That course we really tight and when they messed up they hit the cement wall and messed up the suspension almost every time. But when they flew through all the turns flawlessly I just sat there amazed lol.

That to me is the charm of rally. it is very technical. yeah you may be faster but there is always the chance for that little unforeseen mistake. everything seems to be a factor in rally. (as opposed to how am i going to make the next left-hand turn.. oooooh) i agree the block retire was a let down. that would have been the best race. that is typial block behavior to over shoot the jump and get in trouble. he did it on stunt junkies when he went 171 ft and he did it in new zealand where he hurt his back. but hey, he was taking the safe bet and making sure he made it. classic moment was mirras car racing while on fire, wonder how the turbo fared? i was cheering the whole time, awesome event!

In his defense, that is a nasty jump for a car to make. It has to be at least 50-60 ft across, plus you have to hit the jump just right and at the right speed. For guys like Pastrana, it's not that big of a deal. He jumps 100+ feet in his backyard on a daily basis.

I was talking about how he took the gold in an 08 STI, therefore i thought it should've gone in the 08 STI section

I'd like to see a bigger variation of cars next year, only one Evo that's disappointing, now we gonna have Evo owners saying that "If he made that jump he would have won.". It was nice to watch, also hated the Skateboarding in between the Rallies.

That's what you get for having a NOS decal on your hood.

This was an awesome event though, one kiss of the wall and your lead can goes down the tubes.
