I watched this on television as it was broadcasting and couldn't believe he didn't carry enough speed just like he did last year. You would have thought he would have gone quicker just to prevent the same thing from his previous year's jump. It was bitter sweet too because Mirra had just messed up his rear and I thought the Evo was going to win for sure but then he goes and messes it up. Very disappointing.

I for one am sure as hell not about to blame the driver...That jump is nutso. The way U.S. rally is situated right now makes it difficult for Evo's to compete. Suburu is a huge supporter of what's left of U.S. rally, Not to mention The only thing Mitsu seems to want to be part of from a motorsports perspective is Dakar, Really a shame.

I hope to see more Evo's and ACP back next year to give it another go.

I was watching it live and knew he was going to fall short before he left the launch pad. I've cased many jumps on 2 wheels and learned 1 thing...you are better off being too long than too short.

Use www.vimeo.com higher quality, faster processing.

It would have been much better if he kept going after the flip. I have seen many cars take much worse damage and keep going.

It was the only Evo there too, all the other cars were Imprezas. Lone Evo of the race takes a ride on the failboat.
