God damn! The story is like a fucking movie.

[@danduran3203]

So epic!!!

[@Feintgames]

Formula Photographic knows how to make a doc. Outstanding.

[@Marticus518]

IKR, this "show" is fucking amazing!

[@gonda89]

that's america auhuahauauh

[@SOLOIIguru]

I swear, Travis Pastrana is the hardest working, biggest competitor and most driven athlete in motorsports. Great work Travis, Robbie, Greg and everybody at Subaru Rally Team USA. Watching David Higgins win is always fun,, but it's about time he is really challenged and who better to challenge him than his own teammate and the greatest American Rally Driver in history, TP?!

[@acruzp]

That's such a bold claim it's outright ridiculous. I see your fanboy peers are with you on this too.

[@RKTheYeet]

Freaking Travis Pastrana, wins a professional rally then the next day double backflips a dirtbike, what a freaking legend.

Whoever writes these scripts is amazing. Kudos to whoever is putting these videos together. Good job capturing the intensity and the drama of everything going on.

[@37rmstrong]

I hope it doesn't get old seeing the same comments over and over again. However this channel is astonishing, it is brilliant, it is amazing. This is one of the best channels on KZbin

Thank you for this series. It's frigg'n EPIC.

Love seeing the clips from the Nitro Circus show at the end and Wheels being the biggest badass in that crew sending it on a Giganta Ramp on his wheelchair

[@Ofthe7thSon]

Good to see Molly there. As a proud Aussie I know her journey well - and it starts with her mum Coral, an awesome co-driver for Neal Bates. Amazing family of racing ladies. Molly has the skills to compete and win world events.

[@freedomsdead647]

Jumped out of the couch when I saw Molly 🤣🤣🤣. Cheers from Romania

[@koltface]

One of the best episodes to date! Well done!

[@TheGrizzlyGarage]

With this narrator I feel like I'm watching a crime show on lifetime. Waiting for someone to die this whole video. Lmao

[@celticwind4122]

Thats gotta feel absolutely amazing for Greg. He showed up there just to help from the sidelines and ended the weekend standing on the podium as the rally winner. I bet he never dreamed that would happen lol.

[@andrewm5840]

by far one of the most intese ep for the series to date! I mean, those techs are just legendary teir pros! Plus no rear brakes, FWD only?! HOLLY COW

[@almightyalan8942]

I reallllllyyyyy miss my wrx!!!!!! I lowkey feel like shedding a tear after watching this, R.I.P wrx🤕💕

[@NanobeFLY]

Best Launch control yet! awesome series, watched every episode. My only complaint is that the two driver thing gets a little old sometimes; would it be possible to get a few more cinematic shots of the other competitors to mix it up a bit?

[@lenaland1012]

This is awesome 👏🏻!!

[@anthonyp1190]

best episode in a long time.

[@TorAndreBrresen]

Good job as always!

[@erizonsantos3319]

Incredible wrenching and rehab on Higgins entire rear end and drive train. That was legendary

[@paulalangadan8375]

@@shawn4900 some of the craziest shit i ever seen

Adjust, adapt and over come! Team work. Don't give up! Go Subaru!

[@ViperKillerWannabe]

I know this is super old by now, but can we give Higgins a big round of applause for pulling off second after destroying the rear end of his car and only being able to kinda repair it? Amazing stuff there.

[@pkiminza]

[@SI0AX]

Did you see how the guys drive shaft and rear transmission was shredded up by a rock? I don't recommend you do this, unless you have the funds for it, lol.

[@bdrlgin]

[@carlosleandry12]

Travis will always be the GOAT

[@marcelc2820]

Travis looks over and realizes the man who is about to hold his life in his hands is woefully unprepared and very very nervous. "Good luck with that." What a true goddamn hero.

[@madnesscrewusa]

Amazing

[@aroniscool21]

Yo, pastrana is the most extreme! (Cue harold and kumar footage for comic relief) but still as normal as a dad and father can be... Hats off to a real bamf that is still humble af

Travis is my favorite human being in the world.

[@simonsimon1]

The commentators voice makes the video interesting 👌

[@arjuhama]

Greg Dorman has potential as a co-driver. lol

[@ProgrammingNewbie]

to hear that rumble tho.......pretty awesome!

[@GraniteSoundtrack]

Man what a good program! Subaru making fans just by having great race coverage. Ahem, ahem other car manufacturers.

[@zakeyzakiahzakeyzakiah1471]

very nice sweet subaru.. scary top speed...

[@NS-fo6dq]

Narration game on point.

[@Ndog888]

Good ass episode. Let's find that rock and beat it up

[@xSLWRTHNUx]

As much as I love rally, it sure has some bizarre rules. Why can't they have more than an 80mph average? Anyone know the reason of this? This is racing, should be that whoever goes fastest, wins. That's it.

[@mikewest712]

xSLWRTHNUx 80 mph is the death speed.

[@afk981]

xSLWRTHNUx 80mph avg is fast as fuck that means they are spending alot of time at the top of 6th gear like 117-130mph

[@xSLWRTHNUx]

Regardless of how fast it is, I'm just wondering what the reasoning behind this rule is. I've never heard of it being applied before.

[@afk981]

xSLWRTHNUx rally America was 90mph Im pretty sure But it's typically not met that offen but only a few times an event by the subaru team

[@SubaruMotorsportsUSA]

Its a safety consideration. It is to discourage rallies from including stages that are too fast. Too fast from a safety/insurance standpoint for the sanctioning body. A stage that is avg over 80mph is super fast, meaning the cars are traveling way higher than 80mph a lot of the time, and one could argue these types of very-fast roads carry increased risk of injury if there was an accident.

[@flat_life750]

hopefully they can place in Seattle..

[@chrismacera8824]

the clear channel ..

[@seanrobesky1172]

is this voiced by the guy that does the Alaska state troopers and similar stuff?

[@Milokitty-en5nb]

I'm having a hard time understanding the speed limit? 80mph and up ?

[@yesseralakkad4770]

15:00 me and my friends when one of us gets new parts

Wat a smooth mov

[@trippyhippy211]

[@Innomwongs]

i love Subaru......Travis a rally gangster

[@r_ez4608]

I was at that Nitro Circus, had no idea that Travis did THIS the day before

[@chaileeportraits]

He went on two wheel drive and won... Teaches us not to give up

[@Ben.Lofi_Guitar]

God bless America 😭❤️ 🇺🇸

[@tjmfilms5751]

Nice video trying to start a film/edit page and would appreciate any feed back or video ideas :0

[@Milokitty-en5nb]

This is their job...... I'm jealous and I just cant hide it. I fantasized about travis asking fans for a co driver.. my hand would shot up so fast woulda blew out my shoulder. Beautiful cars.

[@venstoma]

nice

[@rcary]

Co driver is the man

[@MrJamx]

So...Are they just racing themselves? Please someone elaborate.

[@365hillclimb]

There are plenty of other cars racing as well, but nobody's on the same level as SRT. Manufacturer backing provides them with enough funding to do whatever they need to, and Vermont Sportscar has a massive wealth of experience building and servicing rally vehicles.

[@benjaminlately]

You race the clock on rally, but other cars are on the track at the same time. Start interval for the top cars is usually 2 min apart. For cars that are slower the start interval is usually 1 or 1.5 min. The races are run on regular forest roads (temporary shutdown and controlled by volunteers). Passing in rally is rare as the cars are put in order of qualifying.

[@N1NTHWARD]

Jesse O'Brien - TLDR: "Yes".

[@2098elk]

GO SUBARU!

[@brandonsever2576]

Anybody have any info on the engines they're using? I can't find anything on it. Displacement, redline, power/torque numbers, boost psi, etc. I'm curious

[@Xtraterrestrial100]

OVER 9000!!!!!!!!

[@McXexon]

Here are the specs for the 2015 car. I can't imagine they changed much in 2 years without a new chassis: vtcar.com/projects/srt-usa-2015-open-class-rally-car/

[@afk981]

Brandon sever while I can't give you exact numbers 2.5l 298hp 450tq 115-130 top speed 35ish psi tampering down quickly For outta the hole style corners lol 0-60 is like 3.5 on gravel

[@afk981]

I bet red line is 7000 The turbo restictor doesn't like to let the engine Rev up

[@smac919]

20:04 ohhh my god that jet looks small.. hopefully its the fisheye lens making it look smaller.. but hot damn I wouldnt ever want to fly in that thing..

[@2011samv]

"as safe as possible" lmfao maybe like wearing fall protection in an aerial work platform....

[@flashretro1038]

I'm new to this series and Rally sports. Can someone explain to me why it seems like Subaru competes against Subaru and not the other contestants? Is it because it's a Subaru show, so no Ford, Toyota etc.? The drivers don't seem to have to beat anyone else except the other Subaru driver. P.S. I'm loving these shows.

[@freedomsdead647]

I'd say, not knowing the American rally, that Subaru are the bests out there and that's why they compete against each other. It's not a brand only Rally, it's just that Subaru are the best

[@dtn94]

im glad the ambulance didn't run over anyone's leg this time

[@505enthusiast4]

Poor Higgins. You can see the disappointment on his face in the last few minutes of the video

to whom this may concern, is there any way you could make my dream come true and let me join the team.

[@ostfahrstreifen8421]

which time in the video?

[@kylebutleracoustic]

@20:58 during the snippets from the nitro circus show

[@ostfahrstreifen8421]

ah thanks i didnt even notice the extra footage

[@DanielSparten]

Front wheel drive, no rear brakes Subaru Wrx Sti...interesting :/

[@dalezorz]

Let's talk about those "adult toys" some more haha

[@cyclonicleo]

Australia runs to Group N rules for the WRX. It looks like the USA rules are kinda like a modified WRC rules but not as developed?

[@hallkbrdz]

When you say USA rules, there are several different organizers with their own rules such as RA, ARA, NASA, etc. SRT USA is running under ARA rules this year.

[@josuedominguez2191]

team subaru 15 ftw

[@zlothra]

Poor Higgins keeps getting screwed.

[@SI0AX]

He's getting handicapped. lol

[@maiishit]

would of been great to watch them fix davids car wow

[@omarrodriguez-pt4wz]

congrats travis I know you can do. that is not locky David damage more his car because he drive like that so you win. me alegro por ti sigue humilde ✌

[@jhonreydelacruz6945]

I’ve watched two of these episodes and seems like Travis wins due to Higgins either crashing or messing up his car

[@psedog]

Good golly, miss molly 😳 -Little Richard

[@klaytonickinson]

So Subaru hired a Discovery Channel, Animal Planet commentator for this mini-docu?

[@CanuckGT]

Why doesn't Subaru build another WRC car already!?

[@brandonsever2576]

Colin Mcrae WRC rules don't allow it. They all use 1.6l inline 4 engines. The cars are also much smaller than a wrx/sti

[@RainingBullets]

Maybe bring back the old pre 2000 gc chassis, and modernize it? For me, although I love my wrx I can't help but feel the cars are getting too big for my taste. But then again I'm not a big guy, so those with bigger build may like the larger chassis better. Still, you gotta admit the 22B STI looks sexy as hell XD

[@brandonsever2576]

RainingBullets a modernized GC8 would probably sell way better than the current wrx. I fully support that lol

[@killjoy69691]

The 49 ppl that thumbed down this vid...are evo owners lol

[@Racer57]

wheres the logic behind the "cant average above 80mph" rule

[@Artecius92]

80mph is the death speed, it was introduced after multiple catastrophes in the group b series. It's bad design on the rally organisers if the cars are reaching speeds on average 80mph or higher. Means drivers are taking a lot of risks and there's a lot more chance of errors & potentially death.

[@boomer0475]

I think the #75 is also on Forza Horizon 3, not sure if I'm mistaken.

[@marcosmiguelruizrosado6352]

a youtube user impossible, the sti than is on DiRT 4 is R4 and not is comparable with that beast, that Subaru is great, is the best on the game, but this is much better.

[@randomreviews8131]

[@vitaliytekmenzhi3433]

[@vytasmatas]

wtf is this 80km/h average speed

[@G_Kaz]

Happy Pastrana won but Higgins had the worst luck this whole season!

[@Indarow]

That's so stupid, maximum allowed 80mph average? And if you're faster the time is set to the maximum average. Super lame in my opinion.

[@Artecius92]

80mph is the death speed, it was introduced after multiple catastrophes in the group b series. It's bad design on the rally organisers if the cars are reaching speeds on average 80mph or higher. Means drivers are taking a lot of risks and there's a lot more chance of errors & potentially death.
