Now the Hoonigan Racing Division with a new 12,000 SF headquarters in Park City, Ut. Seems to be near the DC Mountain Lab and my dad, I know where I am going this spring.

Block is also going to contest 3 WRC events, the GRC, 4 Global X Games events, Gymkhana Grid, Rally America and a new Gymkhana video in partnership with DC Shoes.

BAD ASSS . THATS JUST WHAT I THINK . PIMP. ILL TAKE TWO..

16 hours and counting to Rally Sweden!

[TURTLE]

Sweden is over with Ogier and VW getting their first win of the season!

Loeb got 2nd
Ostberg got 3rd
Latvala got 4th
Neuville got 5th

I don't know where Sordo finished (not on my list in the top ten)

Mikko had an off early in the rally and ending up losing 24 minutes. He finished 17th.

[Stburr91]

Pretty impressive for VW to get a win in their first season. The real test for the Polo will be the next rally on the gravel.

[Headquake]

Ogier took off last year to test and tune the new VW. He knows it well. Latvala is new to it, it'll take him a few rounds but he's gonna be fast again for sure. I bet VW could take the manufacturer points win this year with these two drivers.

*note: If youve been subscribed to WRCforeva on youtube for your WRC 2013 coverage, i'd suggest watching each update the same night he uploads them. Both the Monte Carlo and Sweden events were taken down within 24 hours of his upload. I guess WRC are onto him now and being dicks. Its sucks cause its the only place to see these rally highlights for any of us in N. America.

[TURTLE]

Second event of Rally America 100 Acre Wood was this last weekend. Kenny went out with issues and David Higgins took the win. Bizarre conditions for this rally with a bunch of snow. If you guys haven't seen the footage check it out!

The ERC and CRC are also underway. For all you rally fans get on it and catch up!

I found this and thought I'd share it with you guys. It's pretty cool..

I know this is not a WRC car but LISTEN to this baby Scream

...I want one so bad

[TURTLE]

Videos of Mexico should start popping up any time now. The event doesn't start till the 7th, but I sure there is some practice going on right now.

I think Ken Block is competing in this one. And I know Chris Atkinson is driving for Citroen. Plus this will be the first event in years that Loeb will not be at. So it is anybody's win...


Cough... Ogier... cough cough.

[TURTLE]

Mexico is over and Ogier won, never could have called that.

In other news Atkinson got 6th and Mr. Block took 7th. So to all the Block haters I got you a present.

Here are the full results:
1 8 S. OGIER 4:30:27.0
2 2 M. HIRVONEN
3 11 T. NEUVILLE
4 3 D. SORDO
5 6 N. AL-ATTIYAH
6 10 C. ATKINSON
7 43 K. BLOCK
8 14 B. GUERRA
9 21 M. PROKOP M
10 5 E. NOVIKOV
11 4 M. OSTBERG
12 48 A. AL-KUWARI
13 41 N. FUCHS
14 38 R. TRIVIÑO
15 62 J. MONTALTO
16 7 J. LATVALA M
17 33 A. KREMER
18 34 Y. PROTASOV

Looks like this VW team is ready to compete for the driver's and manufacture's title this year.

Congrats to Ken Block for his best finish in the WRC.

[MetalNut]

I'm pretty excited about VW, I need to actually find what they'll be running, I haven't followed WRC in a while.

All the Ken Block haters just wish they had his talent (and his fame/money). Sure, he crashes, but so does everyone else, and he could still outdrive me with his eyes closed. Most likely literally.

[TURTLE]

Portugal is going on right now!

[TURTLE]

Portugal is over Ogier got another win, followed by Latvala in second and Hirvonen in 3rd. Right now it looks like VW is on point for the Manufacture's win, but the season is still young and anything could happen.

Besides that I think we need some photos.

[Stburr91]

I can't believe how well VW is doing right from the start.

Awesome pics, love that last one.

[TURTLE]

So it has been decided that Sebastien Loeb will compete in the Colorado event Pikes Peak Hillclimb in this.










Peugeot 208 T16. 875HP and weighs 875kg. It should move pretty good if it doesn't blow up. The motor is a V6 bi-turbo coming from Peugeot's endurance racing program. It is going to be mid-rear mounted and drive all 4 wheels.

156 corners to the finish.

End of June, Pikes Peak, Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Tickets for Pikes Peak International Hill Climb [Tempo Tickets]

Basically, looks like $44.15 per ticket, but we could try to scam a family 4 pack for $147

I was just going to say the Suzuki Escudo is way uglier.

What do you buy tickets for? There are hiking trails everywhere to get by the road.
