Leon Styles Interview

Leon styles shares his experience in racing with all of you Dirt Drifters out there in this interview from Gorman Ridge. This time out Leon was driving car #374, the Subaru STI prepped by Top Quality Racing. If you are used to hating on his Evo it might feel better to see him rockin out in his Subaru. Amazingly Leon recovered from a devastating first stage total catastrophic strut failure to place 2nd overall in the rally and 1st in the Open 4WD class. With Guido Hamacher Co-Driving they ran almost all of the rally on a borrowed rear strut. The ever colorful Mr. Styles let's you know what he really thinks as we talk about the sport of Rally in America. Check out some bonus footage from the 2004 Rim of the World Rally.

2007 Gorman Ridge Rally

The 2007 Gorman Ridge Rally took place on August 18, 2007. It was round six of the United States Rally Championship. A California Rally Series Triple Points Event. Presented by Creative Edge events and sponsored by Subaru. This was the 18th annual running of the event. By all accounts the conditions were the bumpiest and rockiest of all time. It was definitely the driest year on record and competitors were happy just to get through the race in one piece. Hopefully their liquid cooled racing suits helped keep them chilling in the desert. Go to the Rally USA results page for all of the gorey details.
