BENCOB Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Plans for 2007-09On December 13, 2006, Subaru Rally Team USA announced plans to enter Pastrana in certain World Rally Championship events in 2007, 2008, and 2009. In 2007, he is set to race three WRC events in the Group N class, driving a Subaru Impreza WRX STI–based rally car. In 2008, SRT-USA plans to enter him in the Production World Rally Championship, a series that runs concurrent with the WRC.[4] During March 9–11 2007, Pastrana competed in his first world rally at the 21º Corona Rally México. He finished 15th overall and fifth in the PWRC (Group N) class. His finish was the best by an American in a WRC event since John Buffum finished 3rd in the Acropolis Rally in 1988.

BENCOB Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 In September 2008, Pastrana took part in the Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally, a round of the Scottish Rally Championship centred in Perth in Scotland. Derek Ringer was his co-driver and they entered in a historic Ford Escort RS1600 (MK II). http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/Travis_Pastrana_-_2008_Colin_McRae_Forest_Stages_Rally.jpg/180px-Travis_Pastrana_-_2008_Colin_McRae_Forest_Stages_Rally.jpg The 2008 season finale, the Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally saw an enhanced entry list of 'rally legends' in honour of Colin who died in 2007. The impressive entry list included ex-World Championship drivers Hannu Mikkola, Ari Vatanen (partnered by his 1981 WRC winning co-driver David Richards), Björn Waldegård, Stig Blomqvist, Malcolm Wilson, Russell Brookes, Jimmy McRae, Andrew Cowan and Louise Aitken-Walker, many competing in their original cars. A handful of current WRC drivers also took part including Matthew Wilson and Travis Pastrana. The event was deemed a great success, attracting record spectator numbers to the Perthshire forests. Outright winner was Stobart VK M-Sport Ford Rally Team driver Matthew Wilson in a Ford Focus WRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
