Updates and looking forward.
A progress report on EV Gearbox Magazine’s “in house” project truck, covering controllers, and some things looking forward in general.
International Rally Survey
A few years ago, when I was on the California Rally Series (CRS) Board of Governors (BoG), we surveyed the membership on their rally activity in the previous year. To this day, some of the results still stick with me. I thought it might be interesting to try doing something similar here on Gearbox.
Darren Jones on Wales Rally GB
We originally met Darren in July of this year. A little over a month ago, he entered his £40 Skoda Felicia in the Wales Rally GB, a WRC event. What follows is a story we suspect will really resonate with you.
Phil Weston: Galant VR4 EVOLUTION
Maybe you’ve heard people refer to the 6th generation (1987-1993) Galant VR4 as the “Evo 0″ and thought it was just wishful thinking. Well, Phil Weston would disagree with you on that. You see, Phil has a legitimate 1991 Galant VR4 Evolution, and he’s got the homologation papers to prove it.
Let’s Talk: Paid Rally Entry
Last week, we shared the epic season wrap-up of Andy Rowe and Cat Lund. Since they won the 2010 FIRC championship, they were awarded free entries for the 2011 FIRC. That’s a BIG DEAL.
Let’s Talk: Sponsorship
Last week, we spoke with Ryan Gates about life as a professional racer, and we asked him for his advice on how we might make the move into racing for a living and how to obtain sponsorship.
Meet the Team
Last month, we posted a “Help Wanted” ad on the site. Our team has since doubled to six individuals.
Let’s Talk: The Rarest Evolution
We’ve been trying to interview various Evolution owners this year. Last week, we decided the Lancer Evo VII is the most elusive of its kind.
Andy Rowe & Cat Lund – 2010 FIRC Report
We’ve been after Cat Lund and Andy Rowe for an interview for a while now. They’ve been pretty busy this season, but Cat was generous enough to share this end of the season recap piece with us. In it, Cat paints a picture of the Flanders International Rally Challenge (FIRC). Lots of details!
