2010 STPR Recap

Gravity Bureau — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:51:51 +0000

The 2010 Susquehannock Trail Rally was spectacular. Canadian team of Antoine L’Estage and Nathalie Richard came in first place, followed by privateer Bill Bacon. Ramana Lagemann and co-driver Chrissie Beavis took third place in Open class. It looks like the Subaru domination of the Rally-America series might be a thing of the past. Mitsubishi-powered vehicles seem to be winning these days.

You can take a look at our top shots from the first day and a half. Stay tuned for a complete set of Gravity Bureau’s photos in the next few days. We’ll be also posting the complete event coverage in low-res on our Flickr stream.

2010 Oregon Trail Rally Summary

Gravity Bureau — Sun, 16 May 2010 15:00:30 +0000

We’re pleased to report that our fellow Canadian Andrew (ACP) Comrie-Picard won the 2010 Oregon Trail Rally last weekend! He dominated the event with Jeremy Wimpey in the NOS Energy Mitsubishi EVO IX. ACP was followed by another pair of Mitsubishi-powered Canadians: Antoine L’Estage and Nathalie Richard. Bill Bacon came in 3rd in a 2006 Mitsubishi EVO IX and that resulted in an all-Mitsubishi national podium in a long time. We look forward to STPR on June 4th-5th, 2010 in Wellsboro, PA.

Pat Richard Enters Olympus Rally 2010

Gravity Bureau — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:25:56 +0000

The 2010 Olympus Rally in Ocean Shores, WA is promising to be a spectacular event. We have just learned that Pat Richard will be contesting this year’s #ra3 event in his open-class STI sponsored by Subaru Rally Team Canada. Olympus Rally is Pat’s home rally and it’s where he learned the art of throwing his car sideways at break neck speeds.

It won’t be easy for Richard to secure a podium finish at Olympus considering that the last time he competed there was in 2008. The competition will be fierce with the likes of Ken Block, Travis Pastrana, Bill Bacon, ACP and Antoine L’Estage hungry for RA points.

Take a look below at our best shots of Pat from 2009.
