23 hours till countdown till the WRC 2008 Impreza @ Acropolis Rally in Greec. Drivers and co pilotss Petter Solberg, Phil Mills, Chris Atkinson, and Stephane Prevot will show it off. Pretty mean as the debut of the WRC IMPREZA 2008 is on my B-Day.. :lo: AWESOME and cant wait to see it in action via FIA WRC.. Heres some pics of the team and the car..












laters,
walter

 

i can't wait to see what those guys can do with the new car. i just got the 2007 wrc season on dvd, they did ALOT better than 2006. hopefully they can bring this new car past loeb and get some good wins.

 

Walt, that car is pretty sweet in tarmac trim. Petters been in such a slump lately, hope this revives his spirits somewhat. Chris has been coming into his own lately and has been doing great in a car he isn't so confident in. Here's to a turnaround in the season for Subaru.

 

WORD!! I agree with you Diego.Petters has been in a slump.Man the citroen is unbelievable.

 

Nice Look for the wrc. I kinda dig that spoiler with the drop look. GO IMPREZA!!!!!!!

Eh Walter, Happy Birthday btw

 

Is there anywhere we can catch a televised show of it?

 

Thanks Patrick!!! ****ty deals though as Im kinda coming down with the common cold..



The only way I know is through WRC tv or if you got the Eurosport channel,or if anything you gotta wait till someone posts them up on youtube.

laters,
walter

 

Probably gotta wait for youtube Dont think Oceanic has Eurosport. I hate that rally isnt more popular here... its so much more exciting than crap like NASCAR. No offence to the NASCAR lover out there

 

I know that they have Rally America and X games but that would probably be the next in thing after drifting, and before that 400mm. Too bad the next race track presummed to open wont have a rally course(i think)... Would be awesome if they had then I would see Elway/Aeros there all the time..

I see the got rid of the obligatory hood scope. I know it wasn't ever functional on the WRC cars but being as it's a subaru trademark, I'm surprised they lost it.

 

Yup that is what I noticed too bran. I guess 2 scoops is too much now they just going with the roof scoop/vent.

 

Woooow thats a nice rally car, like the roof spoiler too

Petter took 2nd... w00t! The WRC2008 car seems promising. I'm pretty sure Atkinson will make the podium w/ the new car some time this season as well!

 

does anyone know what American Television Network this will be on? i know speed in its infinite wisdom took WRC off of their network...so i am confused who will air it now
