might have been brought up before but,

Video - Subaru prepares for the 2007 WRC season. December 06 test session with Petter Solberg

 

Awesome

 

Mine handles that well lol
That is a seriously fast motor

 

From that video it looks impressive and well set-up but we'll have to wait for the Monte I suppose. I hope it's more competitive this year.

 

thats not petter, that was me on the way to tesco's

Ive spotted something of interest!

Itd got BFgoodrich branding, when did they drop pirelli?

Simon

 

yep, they've dropped pirrelli,

Subaru World Rally Team

 

Its not that theve dropped the pirellis, is it not the rules this season that everyone has to use the same tyres?

 

Looking gooooood

 

Is the "Whistle" at 3:04min dumping boost pressure when changing Race to Road program?

Tony

 

Certainly looks a little more planted on the BF's

 

YouTube - WRC Solberg Test Subaru MC2007

 

That looks seriously quick,what the spec`s on these WRC motors .
great vids,thanks for posting.

 

i wonder if they ever smash the cars when testing them??

 

do ya think ya can get a set of road tyres wi the bf sign on them like the rally car cos they look mint

 

that man can has some seriously awesome car control.driving at those sort of speeds on roads like that is not good for your heart

mark

 

Yep, quite often.

 

Subaru dumped Pirelli.

300 Bhp, 500 torque.

Prodrive said that they WILL be more competitive this year.

 

Pirelli actually decided to pull out of WRC.

 

Can't wait for the new season to start ( in a couple of weeks! ) really hope the Subaru is more competitive this season.

 

Was at Prodrive the day that Pirelli picked up all there tyres (day after Rally GB finished)
Prodrive stated to us that they had dropped Pirelli. That is why I said what I said??????????
There are pictures of our day on Scooby SMACS the Owners club of South Manchester And Cheshire Subaru's (SMACS)

 

Fair enough, I thought I read that they pulled out, but hey, no matter.

Lets just hope the BFGoodrich perform better eh?

Only partly wrong, FIA are planning a single tyre formula but not until 2008 I think. Still open this year and Subaru have picked Michelin, oh sorry they're now cynically repackaged as BF.

 

Cool video!

So fast on those night sections!

 

Pirelli did pull out. FACT

They were uncompetitive on anything else other than gravel anyway

 

love the sound of that car, i want mine to sound like that

 

And the single tyre manufacturer will be..........
<cynical mode on> "Whoever pays the WRC organisers the most money"<cynical mode off>

And it won't necessarily be the best tyre for the sport

Lots of decisions have been taken over the last few years that aren't that good for the sport

Starting with the rule banning Group B cars

Alcazar, (ALL IMHO, of course)

 

Anyone know WHERE it's taken? Looks like the roads around Crest and Die in the Drome region of SE France? I know some rally teams practice there

Alcazar

 

how do you get that dump valve sound, sounds better than anything i have ever heard?
