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.

Colin McRae : Rally Hero

Colin McRae was one of the greatest individuals in the sport of rally. His ability to drive almost any motorized vehicle to victory was truly impressive and inspirational. The helicopter crash which took his life leaves all rally fans with a deep sense of loss. There will never be another Colin McRae.

Rockstar Rally Team : Tanner Foust #34 & Andrew Pinker #5

The Rockstar Energy Drink 2007 Rally Team, must really be drinking their products. They have had a phenomenal performance record this year in their North American competitions. The twin Subaru STi cars are Tanner Foust & Co-Driver: Chrissie Beavis (Car #34) with Andrew Pinker and Robbie Durant in (Car #5). They must have their boost "turned up to 11". The Syms pit crew kept things rolling along with ease while the Tein suspension seemed to outperform all of the other competitors equipment. This footage was shot while training for the X-Games 13 Super Special Stage Jump. Tanner & Chrissie, went on to win the X-Games 13 Rally Car event with the smooth, clean driving which they are known for. Rock on ! Thanks to Rally America and ESPN for allowing media access to the training grounds. Soundtrack is "Rockstar" by SK and Dante Thomas.

XGames Crash - Team DSG

Team DSG crashed their Mitsubishi Evo dramatically at X-Games Practice !!! This is the best footage you will find!!!! They came up about a car length short and rebounded end over end. Ramana Lagemann & co-driver Mark Williams walked away shaken up, but resolved to compete in the X-Games. Unfortunately the degree of damage caused further complications with their engine during the actual Stadium Special Stage and they had to give up. Hopefully we will see them on the podium next year. Thanks to Rally America and ESPN for access to the Lake Elsinore Training Grounds. Soundtrack by Kabuki 5000.
