FRS/BRZ Extreme racing or Traditional racing for success?

Dan ran Grand Am a few races and even won his class in the debut, but it was difficult to keep the tC competitive because of the rules. The FR-S may not have the same issue given the power-to-weight ratio.

Over in the uk Subaru was successful in the late nineties and early 2000s because of rally cars
Who could not forget the late Colin McRae and his L555 BAT Impreza
That's what made it for Subaru in the uk as they were only known for farmers pick ups before that

Then came ken block which his videos took the world by storm
Subaru should of paid ken block millions to stop with Subaru to promote their cars with his cult following and crazy stunts

Quite a change for subaru with the BRZ and racing

What's funny about that is Ken Block was the top driver for Subaru USA before joining Ford in WRC.

Problem with Ken Block is.....he makes great videos for the STI. Not the BRZ. Second problem is....he isn't very successful on the pro Rally Circuit. I always see a crash and Ken Block behind the wheel.

Oh, yeah forgot about that one. Pretty tough race for the tC but came out well. They were running the S/C'er in that race IIRC.
