Nice to see the onboard footage along with the outside shots of the car. The video was awsome thank you Subaru for this awsome series.

[@LordxJoe]

Yes! We love more of the onboard footage. The editor is really good too.

[@GNARGNAR]

Amazing to follow this journey. Really looking forward to the future with 23R and big props to everyone at Subaru Motorsport USA, VSC, and everyone else on this project. Great series!!!

Happy Wednesday my Subaru family!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@Redpsyclone]

2:41 I was at start line, EVERYONE immediately recognized Lance and congratulated him on a nice clean start. Very friendly fellow!

[@marilynmatheny8306]

We were Start 2...........Car looked great~

[@MichaelNaydeck]

It's great to see the car out and running in competition. Thank you for the return to more onboard video. Another great episode.

[@clauslykkerasmussen6141]

Love this series..👏🏻 really awesome that you guys takes us behind the scenes of this build.. loves the mechanical/development/engineering scenes.. 🛠⚙️🔩and I would love to see this car in full tarmac spec in a rally.. low, wide and 18” filling those big wheel arches...🙏🏻

[@norskefosvaret2007]

Got to spectate at several locations. Glad to see we made it in the shot at 3:10

[@metropolis10]

Thanks for another episode! That onboard + outside stacked shot was great. Not a huge fan of the yellow IN the wheel well, but what ya gona do! Can't please everyone :D

[@Urkardaddy]

Agree that yellow needs blacked out ASAP

[@Talynen]

I think it does a great job of highlighting just how aggressive the bodywork is to evacuate air pressure from the wheel wells. But from a purely aesthetic standpoint it's not my favorite decision.

[@bretoncook-ib7kx]

Yah subaru! Excellent episode! Glad to see the new car slay a tire and the competition!

[@treybargatze6419]

loved the on board/outside shots split screen!!! amazing rally amazing 23R, keep it up! #43ver

[@PNWSubaruAdventures]

This reminds me of drifting the forest roads above Detroit lake. I gotta get back out on those dirt roads. 👍💛🖤💛🖤

[@gabrielscholl6973]

brandon is an incredible driver, thank you for the series subaru!

[@deusalex3573]

Loving the series. The buildup of developing a Subaru race car and then to finally see it compete is awesome.

[@andrewm5840]

The footage of Lance sending off the 23r was adorable 😂. Plus so happy to enjoy the split screen footage of the on stage driving. Heading the co-driver rattle off the directions and the driver making it look easy *chef kiss*

[@Skootl3DCreations]

Simply seeing Lance at ths starting line made my heart smile. That's his baby he started from scratch, nice the see that circle completed. :) Also, can I get that .stl file, would love to print a small version of that sexy lil ride.

[@brianmureti3159]

Another great episode. keep em coming

[@piippeeter]

Sure hope Subaru will join WRC or WRC2 atleast. Would be great addition to the series and have good competition too.

[@markthibault8579]

It would be awesome to see Brandon and Keaton on the world stage.

[@warnfreezer]

11:30 forgot to paint his "impact" socket black 😱

[@Halogamerskate3]

Thank you Subaru for this awesome series

[@mark9685]

Love coming home from work to a new episode!

[@InstagramVBCarnage]

SUBARU LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO❤❤❤💯💯💯

[@01FozzyS]

Well done,boys and girls! Getting too easy for Brandon. WRC time!

[@Urkardaddy]

Yep ARA is more for amateurs it seems these days.. WRC they said is gonna happen but not until 2027. 😢

[@carloshermandealbagamboa6676]

Yeah! we are very happy for this new season. Congratulations on this succes!

[@joelbladimirhunter9555]

I really!! Miss the old voice over guy man bring him back plz 🙏

[@MrDudecomeon]

That looks like a fun track!!

[@aaronkirlin5281]

I’d watch all the in car footage. So good

[@DasYuki]

Yes next viedeo!!!!

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Bummer.. Because it's all over.. Now, it's time to make that winning streak stick!!! Congrats to Subaru and all the parties/companies involved. Involved in this tedious building process!!

[@Nick-gg6tg]

Keep it up

[@hammerheadth1034]

Watching is fun

[@johngrant1337]

Nice Car , thanks

[@geraldboylan5635]

Love it 🎉!! Love to go for a ride on a non race day !

[@markthibault8579]

Nice to see the new car working well. I hope next season will bring proper competition for the team and make things interesting.

[@Urkardaddy]

I pray too see competition I hate too say this but last yr was utter boredom compared too the battles of previous years .ARA has one or two drivers with real God given talent. then we have a whole bunch of rich folks that have the money too do Rally but have very little skill . And then the few that have skills can't afford a pro level car its sad there needs to be something that adds balance .

[@regulusbolasoc4631]

i like the socks, man! 💪

[@stevendesalis8690]

Brandon is such a clean, smooth driver but MANNN would i love to see David Higgins in this car!! Would be a treat to watch for sure

[@PlaySA]

Would've liked to see more information on the other contestants, and the overall times and times for each stage and such. Still, very entertaining I will keep watching anything put out by Subaru rally America.

[@Urkardaddy]

They weren't even close and why it's not posted.. no competition at all out there

[@Nightscape_]

I'm looking forward to a Forester mini-series!

[@tammyshenanigans5154]

Lance is a stud.

[@bigbird2451]

As a mountain biker I,We will miss him at Rampage this year. I realize though that this world is why he worked so hard on the mountain bike. He needs to race not risk. My prediction is that the Rampage winner will start with the Acid Drop.

[@preventer333]

Let's get back to WRC and show the world who's the true king of rally!

[@ZeugmaP]

It's a huge achievement to design a new car and win in the first competitive event ! But I wonder if the other teams can actually compete against a full factory effort.

[@mundustephen6905]

Want to see Subaru back in wrc

[@envoy3]

Curious what the red button on top of the hand brake does. Is it similar to the red button in men in black that makes the car defy gravity?!

[@RR_1138]

I’m sure when the VA came out , nobody knew it’s capabilities. Maybe if I buy a 3rd WRX in the future ( eventually STI maybe) , I’ll like this new chassis. I love my VA2 STI 😍 ✌🏼 ( 03 WRX wagon too) (and BRZ )

[@kisherwood820]

I need this suspension package for my Crosstrek

[@user-qv3ii6no1g]

Subaru mantap👍

[@WRXMAN-ms2mm]

An entertaining mini series. Build process is intense. The finished car however bears little resemblance to the original car it started from. Why not have Subaru ship over a body in white? That was all that was essentially used to build this impressive rally car.

[@IxsnipeddxI]

What’s with the anticipation… without the narrative introduction… Gymkahana? Aka hoonigan? But We love more of the characters voices more in dept aka “Keaton Williams” Cheers launch control!

[@demongaming21]

I have question that I’ve always wanted to ask: when you take a daily sedan into a rally car do you guys like mod the engine or do you rebuild the whole engine?

[@bowesmediainc8767]

Depends on budget. Lots of teams run essentially stock engines but at the higher end of the sport, you will find fully custom race prepped engines.

[@Dgerardo]

Someone know where I can watch this competition and what it’s called?

[@kgotlelelosefala-jq1wh]

where is pastrana?

[@MidSouthUTV]

Is Vermont Super Car going to be building a the new 2024 Subaru FIA WRC with the backing of Toyota?

[@michaelcarydakis790]

how much hp does this subaru have

[@paulkchin]

No disrespect at all, but I miss Craig Drew's pace notes dearly. He was literally song like with them.

Has Subaru stopping making the WRX? If so, what happens to Subaru racing?

[@dillonh321]

No… you are looking at a video of the new rally car based off the new WRX.

[@maxentropy7596]

@@dillonh321 I was a dealer 3-4 days ago. They said there was no 2024 WRX STI. I thought they must be wrong, so I am checking.

[@dillonh321]

@@maxentropy7596 You asked about the WRX. There is no WRX STI. But there is still a WRX.

[@maxentropy7596]

@@dillonh321 What happened to STI and racing?

[@dillonh321]

@@maxentropy7596 Subaru is still racing but the STI is gone. Subaru didn’t want to put money into a new production STI engine and the old one was very outdated. Subaru is coming out with the WRX TR next year which will have large brakes, sport suspension and a big wing like the STI did. It just won’t have a more powerful engine.

[@brunomorales5128]

It seems to me that the Subaru team does not have a worthy opponent, they run a very weak rally alone, I would like to see that team in the World Rally and that driver to see how they are doing

[@l00koutqc44]

Fa or ej?

[@chvblzus]

Modelnya ke arah sini kurang mengagumkan,terlalu gemuk.tidak seperti tahun lama yang menggambarkan real sport car

[@Urkardaddy]

I totally get wanting to use the new WRX and develope the platform but to say you did it too stay competitive? Against who ? Barry is running 2wd and there is no one in awd unlimited that can even come close too Brandon's talent. Closest competitors are over 10min behind Brandon is just smoking the competition completely it's boring😴. I think there is plenty of talent out there hmmmkmnn "excuse me"" but they don't have a sponsor too foot the build and maintenance cost too even compete let alone be competition " Today's sponsors don't care about if you can drive they care about how many followers you have . The Pro drivers can't afford a competitive car and the guys that can afford a competitive car aren't pro drivers and they won't give up the drivers seat and hire a pro driver so 🤷 What can be done 🤔We need more competition too keep this sport alive . But my guess is it won't happen . 😢 These fellas that compete because they have the money is great for them but there not pro drivers there boring too watch 90% of the time... there just living there Rally fantasy and will never be competitive because they lack natural talent . What we need is more sponsored pro drivers but ARA only has Subaru there are no Ford sponsored cars no Hyundai sponsored cars no Toyota sponsored cars no Skodas no notta . Who does Subaru have too compete against ? Ken is gone Travis is not driving but when he did he was also with Team Subaru USA . I'm sorry but we need drivers real drivers not just guys that have dollars too build a car but have no natural talent too drive it. FACTS first 3 cars go through then it's utter boredom.

[@Stockholm727]

Pretty misleading considering you removed the fa engine and still running the ej. Also the ej isn't even made by subaru either its all crest cnc. Fail.

[@Heathen8king]

Day 139 of my STI sitting at Subaru of Ocala... You owe me an STI or a Loaner car Subaru

[@mehrbod_z2609]

Unfortunately, I am in Iran and I will never be able to become a rally driver or at least have the opportunity to try to become a rally driver. But I will try my best to watch the rally from close once.💔❤️‍🩹
