El Stig as a Rally spectator.


The Rally Innovations Team had a race at Ridge Crest, CA. The teams 2.5rs Impreza placed 4th over all but placed 1st in its class. They competed against a high horse powered off road Ford rally truck; a well boosted Impreza WRX STi, and nicely tuned DSM (eclipse) with a crazy suspension set up. RI was very competitive with its rivals. One of their competitors was an Automatic 2.5rs Impreza with a wide body kit pulling a lot of horse power. They came in 5th over all. Not bad for an automatic, then again it did place 5th and behind a NA car. The Teams car was pulling some decent lap times and in each lap the team kept getting faster and faster. At one point they beat their lap time by 1/100 of a second. Haha Not bad.


Rally Innovations brought their Evolution X time attack car to the event. It got some attention when it arrived and throughout the day. A lot of questions were asked and people admired it. Not only did the Evo X get attention but as well as the Impreza rally car Rally Innovations has. The car had its own fan wagon with spectators taking pictures of both the Evolution X and the Impreza. I as an intern, passed out a few flyers and got acquainted with the spectators and passed out the word of the Rally Innovations team. They loved the cars. It’s nice to have Rally Innovations bring out a crowd full of attention.
