Evo X wins 2010 Rally America championship

Congrats to Antoine L'Estage / Nathalie Richard for winning the NEFR today and clinching the 2010 Rally America Championship in their EVO X! On a side note, Pastrana blew the motor on his STI on stage 11 of the Forest New England Rally today and DNF'd!

Evo X won the Rally America Championship. :)

2010 after less then two years from the FIRST production year, the Evo X WON the Rally America Championship. It is more amazing if you think about , they were competing a same time with the same car in the Canadian rally championship too.

Makes it really interesting that fact , its a FIRST evo won the Championship, is actually an Evo X.....

I think there is no more to say after this... LOL

yeah its not like Subaru. There is basically 0 help from the Corporate. I got some help from local dealer, but not from the Corp.
The Subaru is waaay different , so as a Mazda.
they do help for guys like me.
Which is weird , since they Evo line up basically rally oriented...

Congrats to Antoine and everyone else out there doing the rally thing with their evos! Amazing he and ACP hang in there so well with the big budget boys like Pastrana, Mira, Block, etc. 'To finish first, you must first finish' proven

This is how its done

It really pisses me off that somehow subaru has managed to corner the budget awd car market and have a lot of factory backing while mitsu can't get 2 year old cars off the lot and has zilch for their biggest fans who are keeping their performance line alive...

well they dont really have a tight budget either....

But sure the factory back up /which they as far as i know, they do have in some form, from the Canadian side/ is definitely is a huge help.
Vs the privater teams.
