Lot of cars were running this dual reservoir TEIN suspension.

Many cars also had these weird slotted rotors. Not sure why they are designed this way...anybody know??

Travis Pastrana finished 5th in the production class in his debut race at P-WRC which is really good. Look at him catch some air...

THey are allready on the fourth fucking round?? God. I havent heard any news about WRC in such a long time after almost all the manufacturers pulled out. I wish I could catch it on tv sometime. It was one of the best. You got all the highlights and some badass incar footage. Last season I think I was able to catch any of was the 2005 and it was still barely aired. BAH! I need satelite tv or something

I will finally be heading down to Mexico for the Rally next year.

I have several good friends that live in Leon so they know all the good spots for spectating, not to mention the free accomodations. :)

Did you see or know any information on Suzuki's SX4 rally car? Im very Interested to see how this car preforms as the production of the US awd turbo model depends on how well it does in WRC. :hyper:

I stopped being lazy and searched...


Suzuki has announced it will enter the World Rally Championship (WRC) from August, 2007 using its all new Sports X-over vehicle SX4 as the basis. The SX4 was also launched at the Geneva Show. Suzuki's decision to participate in the WRC follows from its very successful involvement with its teams in the Junior World Rally Championship (JWRC).
