Is it just me..
or is anyone else tired of the SWRT cars breaking? It's been going on for a year and a half now. I think it's time to stop. Every race it seems to be solberg and atkinson do great in the beginning. Atkinson's car breaks and Solberg crashes or his car breaks.

Let's hope the new chassis is better!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Well, crash happens. Damage from the crash, you really can't help too much...depending on severity.Cereb Daithi wrote:or is anyone else tired of the SWRT cars breaking?

Definitely A certain amount of mechanical failure is to be expected. After all these cars are subjected to a pounding every time they hit a stage or super-special... but something has been wrong with the new subarus. Electrical failures, differential problems, sudden catastrophic engine failures without warning. It's just all a bit much. Every time something seems to be going right, it all goes wrong. My girlfriend has been a saint to put up with my obsessions over subaru but i heard her sneak in a bit of a laugh when I was watching rally Argentina and the petters subaru just died instantly. at least solberg is back to competing in the top 3 before his car goes kaput.
it helps that i'm also a big fan of mikko hirvonen. so if I can't watch my fav manufacturer be competitive, at least I can watch one of my favorite drivers.

Re: Is it just me..
I completely agree. Almost every rally, Solberg starts out very competitive (as you said - top 3 usually) and then something happens. Not just once, not twice, but every stinking rally! I think Loeb made a deal with the devil a few seasons back with two stipulations. One: grant him near-unblemished supremacy in the WRC. Two: curse the Subarus to keep them out of his way.Cereb Daithi wrote:or is anyone else tired of the SWRT cars breaking? It's been going on for a year and a half now. I think it's time to stop.

Too bad he never counted on Ford. I can't believe I'm cheering for Grönholm. Hirvonen I can cheer, but Grönholm is just an ass.

Mikko is doing amazing and I love watching him, but Grönholm is funny.WRXWagon2112 wrote:Too bad he never counted on Ford. I can't believe I'm cheering for Grönholm. Hirvonen I can cheer, but Grönholm is just an ass.
