STi_Bandit Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Signing up for the 2006 season of the most extreme and exciting motorsport, six-part series Engineering the World Rally joins the Subaru World Rally Team as they and 2003 champion, Petter "Hollywood" Solberg, fight for the championship through six countries and eleven months of intense competition. This ultimate off-road challenge pits massively powerful four-wheel drive rally cars - in the hands of some of the world's greatest drivers - against the toughest and most varied terrain on the planet. These guys hurtle down narrow twisty roads, along bumpy, dusty tracks, through deep water and across solid ice at speeds exceeding 130 miles an hour. They're supported by teams of dedicated engineers and mechanics, together with their straight-talking bosses and success-hungry sponsors. It's a world of fragile egos, high emotions and constant human drama. With unprecedented access, Engineering the World Rally gets under the skin of the Subaru WRC team and follows their every move as they engineer and prepare the cars for each event, test and shakedown, enjoy the highs and suffer the lows of each three-day rally. It is an emotional rollercoaster of action both behind-the-scenes and on the rally stage. Taken from the discovery channel website Discovery Channel Bandit

STi_Bandit Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 yeah might have to invest in getting the sky+ box, memories not what it used to be Bandit
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Loving this series but not the reliability of the 2007 Subaru car..............they ain't having much luck so far
oobster Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Just finished watching the 2nd part on the Sky+ Jeez - some weird decisions were made there. A wire coming away from the starter motor while in service which was fixed, only to come back off again when they were at the start line (not allowed to open the bonnet so car was disqualified) Putting a gearbox which was known to be faulty back into the car to replace a gearbox that was working fine, only for the faulty one to develop the same fault it had originally! Mis-reading the data coming back from the 1st gearbox meant Petter put it into safe mode on a road section heading towards service (incurring a time penalty) when there was no need! The Japanese fellow (manufacturers prinicpal) wasn't happy was he? Still, a good series and as they director said himself - over 150 years experience of rallying (collectively) and they had never had a weekend ever before where so much had went wrong.
cullenmin Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 they do seem to be making a nipple of it, not going their way atall!
dipsy Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Watched it last night .The amount of daft mistakes they made .
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Aside from the dropped boll0cks................dont you just love :- the rasp of the exhaustthe way Petta flicks his car into the temporary base campthe look of the new car ( on nice wide tarmac rims though)the way he effortlessly flings the car sidewaysthe fact he swears like a trooper Davie Lapworth is a legend in my opinion. Great leader and balls of steel Roll on next week ! Cal
