I give this series my seal of approval... I have em on my computer from a few years back. Great stuff!

It'd be awesome if something like this was done for every significant year of the team, or even on Ford (maybe Citroen too, but they keep on winning).

The director of this series did a great job. Every time I watch it, I keep thinking there's a chance Subaru will win. :lol:

Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it.

Is anybody aware of the existance of a WRC STI engine bay walkthrough ? It would be cool to get a more technical description of how the setup differ from the road car than what is discussed in the discovery video

^There's a BRZ GT300 post on speedhunters.com which is the most indepth review I've found on any Subaru race car but I haven't seen any for the rally cars.

I've done a lot of searching before, but could not find anything that is remotely similar to what you are looking for. It's mostly because season after season and round after round the specs change in the car, so there is no "even ground" on the specs.

What you could try to do if you like solving puzzles is theoretically try and replicate the car based on pictures, performance figures, and brand sponsors, which I would totally do if I had the money and race it.

Another way is going to the site that sells Impreza WRC spares (forgot what the site is called) and put the car together based on what parts were available and customize/substitute the rest.

Or find and meet David Lapworth or Paul Howarth. I doubt Prodrive would release all of their vital secrets in the public. They are a competitive motorsport company afterall.
