Holy ****, I can't believe travis Pastrana only beat McRae by a second, and McRae flipped his car. I only got to see the last three drivers, but hey, it's in Hi Def.

The stock ones you can buy are FWD, but the one Paul was driving was a custom built Libra Racing AWD rally special.

I got home expecting that my VCR had recorded it only to see it wasn't recording, I turned on the TV and hit the record button just as Colin and Nicky launched into their roll-over.

Really wish I'd been able to record the stages from earlier in the week...

I don't know much about the x games rally. These don't look like the SWRT cars, but they didn't sound like stock STI's. What are they? Custom built for this event? Anyone have any info on the cars?

Yeah, I watched it also, dope!!

At first I was bummed that rally would be mainstream on the X-games, but they did good imo.

Lots of good camera angles and its good that the drivers can get some more exposure.
