Hey guys, I’m the new announcer. Just FYI, I loved the previous guys voice. Iconic. Those are some huge shoes to fill. So you all know, I’m rally through and through. I competed in rally myself up to national level, inspired by my WRC heroes Colin McRae and Richard Burns. (Late 90’s Grp.A thru early WRC is my golden era. This, I’m willing to argue about 😂) I totally understand the love for my predecessor. Yep. I’d love a movie voice. But I do love Subaru, and I am a genuine rally guy. So with that in mind I hope you all continue to enjoy the series! 😊 AC

I love Travis so much, I don't care if he doesn't win 1st, I'm just here to watch him and hear his enthusiasm and positivity it is so contagious. Speaks to how much fun you can have in a Subaru in a way podium finishes never communicate.
@savage6394Ай бұрын
Same here. I think you be hard-pressed to find more than a handful of people who don't feel the same way about Travis. When someone is as great at basically everything, they aren't full of themselves, they are kind to others, and they seem so positive all the time. If you find someone who doesn't like the person described above. I'm willing to bet it has more to do with them and the unhappiness in their own life.

Brandon will eventually get the recognition he deserves. He was at the top of freestyle mountain biking world and still is at the top whenever he has the time. He just won 1st place at one of the gnarliest mountain biking events in the world -- Red Bull Rampage in October 2024. They need to gas him up more!! The man is a machine at winning major event after event AND dropping the most iconic video parts in the scene. He is quiet but he is the most calculated rider in mountain biking and it's clear how much it transfers over to rally. Glaze over

I could not tell you how excited I was when I heard about the ARA coming to the East Tennessee area, specifically Newport and Johnson City, TN and surrounding areas. I'll be attending the 2025 Overmountain Rally as well.. if timing and my schedule works out, I plan on volunteering for the event.

Wow! What a great job with the series. I love the longer format, and the intro to rally was great for the new comers. Launch Control is amazing as one of the few longer format ways to experience rally for those that can't make to the events themselves. The candidness is also quite refreshing and man, what a teaser for the next episode.

It'll be held in the Chattanooga, TN in the Cherokee National Forest area. I don't think it's official yet, but it's looking good for it to happen. I'm about a 90 minute drive away.. I'm excited for this!

@@djevans614Not having produced full shows for a few years, we see the show as a reboot. Maybe… just maybe… a few new people might want to add to the fray. That's the reason for the mini explainer.
