Nice photos. :) Interesting, you have lots of Subaru´s in races. Here we have lots of Evo Mitsubishi´s and just a few Subarus. And was nice to see old WRCcars too,like that Hyundai :)

I stand corrected. Having finally seen the full final results Jake was 10th overall just over 3 mins behind first. Still 1st in class though. Still a bloody good effort.

Is there any way I can find out a bit more about the car spec ? I am planning a S2 build for sprint / rally use.
