Of The Week

The of the week section will contain a weekly WRC picture, WRC video, Tuned WRX picture, and, if available, a street/drag racing video.

WRC Picture Of The Week
The Subaru WRC drivers and co-drivers look optimistic in this first promotional shot of 2003 although both pairs took DNFs at Monte Carlo a couple weeks ago.

The Subaru team is now looking forward to Rally Sweden which will be held this weekend. Hopefully they will fare better that in Monte Carlo. However, the Subaru World Rally Team has never been considered a force in the Swedish Rally mainly due to their car. The cars that usually win this extremely difficult rally are the smaller more nimble cars like the Peugeot 206. Lets just hope that team Subaru can turn things around in Sweden and break their streak of less than stellar finishes in the snow.

WRC Video Of The Week
This weeks video shows us and outside view of Petters' car. We follow him while he screams through SS5 at Monte Carlo

When the video cuts to an on board shot we see the intensity and connectedness of driver, co-driver, and machine. As Phil Mills reads out the pace notes calmly Petter loses control of his Subaru WRC and crashes throwing both men for a jolt. We can hear Petter utter a statement in a disappointed tone as if he already knows that the damage to the car will count him out of the rest of the rally.

WRX Of The Week
I chose this particular car as the Subaru Sanctuary WRX of the week for a couple reasons.

First off, the car looks incredible. The owner of this car has painstakingly recreated the WRC decal package for the street all the way down to the Robin decal on the front fender.

The menacing looking of the car also caught my eye. The aggressive body kit looks incredible and the intercooler is gigantic. There must be some serious turbo work underneath that hood.

Lastly, the whole package is rounded out in rally blue with gold rims. Incredible job. My thanks go out to the owner for his dedication to the WRC look and performance.

WRX Drag Racing Video Of The Week
This video is brought to us from our friends at Easy Street Motorsports. They have designed the fastest new generation WRX in the world and this video proves it!

Look at the timing board in last frame of the video when it stops. The ESX finished the quarter in 10.73 seconds @ 135.60 mph. Not too shabby!

You can hear the incredible turbo while and nice low end exhaust sound as this car screams down the track. This video is incredible.
