Olympus Rally 2026 – Subaru Motorsports USA

It always looks like there's no one here, but I promise you, I promise. There is if you go this way. I know the car is there, but there's a lot of people, dude. One hundred entrants sold out within five hours. We got Blatvala. How cool is that? Seminok, past champion, coming back. Eight drivers in a seated draw. And that doesn't include Seth, his Toyota factory driver and Leah Block. This is U.S. Rally. Let's go. Did you think we were trying to stand in front of the board? So you went, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Kick some butt. Have some fun. Have fun, buddy. Three, two, one. First stage was so much fun. I think everyone just put in a great time. Went into the second stage and all hell broke loose. This is definitely the biggest test we've ever put to the limited car. I think the car can take it, but we're going to find out. Looking forward to a very long, very grueling rally. And that second stage knocked the piss out of us. And we're flat out. So we'll see what holds up. 25, that's six over flying finish. Yep, got it. So obviously, Brandon had issues out there. I think Leah had a puncture. So there's some issues going on already with the top guys. So we'll just keep, you know, being where we are and see how we go. All right, starting day two. Obviously, a really big crowd out here. It's so cool to come back to Olympus. If we want to be competitive, we got to go 10-10. So we'll see. Well, it's a durability test, as they say. It's going to be a fun day. We had two of the most fun stages of the entire rally championship. We were able to keep a lot more speed, a lot faster in stages, a lot less rough. Leading our class, third in the rally. We're pushing this car hard and it's handling it well. Cars go through very late. Neatly, we can see on the car that he's pushing really hard. When we can just bomb downhills, it's a good feeling. And that's what we were doing a lot of today. Continues over crest. It's going to be a long day. Attrition will probably come into it a lot, too. So we'll just be doing our best to try and stay where we are and keep a good result. But we're sitting third overall, which is better than we expected at the moment. Just keep plugging away, man. Don't let go. Oh, f**k, oh f**k. That's rough. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, f**k. What a shame. That is a shame. F**k, we could probably get up back on. I don't think we can, right? I know, I can't park there. I got it. Perfect. It was perfect. I know we could have done that, Reed. What the heck? Where were we? We're looking for somebody. I think if we had five people, we would have got this thing back to the wheels. Yeah, sure. We had two flat tires and lost it out of the windshield. But I think we could have made it. Just needed some more pushers. So what had happened? We were in a three-way battle for second. We were going, going like hell. And honestly, there's so many miles to go and we were pushing for everything we had. And we were half second down on Tom after the fifth checkpoint here, which was about mile 15. And we were about a half second up on Seth. It was going to be a hell of a battle, but we folded first. So we'll be back to fight tomorrow. Get some power stage points. At least take some power stage points from those guys. That'd be the goal. And I think it'll buff out. So yeah, last night we had a fairly late night recovering the car and repairing it after Travis and Reed's roll last night. We had quite a bit of body damage, a couple doors, a windshield, fender, a hood, as well as some damage to the A-pillar. The car also ran upside down for a little bit. So we ended up doing an engine change as well, preventatively, just to make sure that we wouldn't have any issues today. And aside from that, everything on the car looked really good. Here we go, day three. I have the best fricking team on the planet. I mean, it looks great. Drove straight coming here. We'll see how the motor goes. Everything should be fine. Our goal today is to make some notes, keep it clean, and put in a hell of a power stage. Six, five, four, three, two, one, go. Left port zone opens over 25 times. Four minus, 50. Right five minus short, the long crest, 50. Car held together. Wow. Yeah, looking forward to seeing what we can do on the power stage. Sorry, I can't do this. Trying to be nice and smooth, consistent, not to damage the car anymore. And then we got power stage. Today is all about trying to get as many points and take as many points from everyone else as we possibly can. Power stage, Mason Lake, 6.05 miles. Five, four, three, two, one, go. 30 right, four minus, the max left, 75. Oh, what's that sign? Low, full pressure. Left six at Brow, 35 times. Four short, left six over crest. That was extremely disappointing. It took off and the car died. Then restarted a little bit. Restarted a little bit. So sad. Zero power stage points. We made podium in class. There's been three rallies this season. Overall, there has been nine different people on the podium. That's never happened in a championship. No one has been on the podium twice. We are still leading the championship after being stuck in Stobank on round one and on our roof in round three. There's a lot of young blood. There's a lot of up and coming drivers. There's a lot of teams, a lot of interest. There's huge fan participation. The sport is growing. And that's exactly what we're hoping for. Disappointing finish for me, but huge win for rally in general. And I really look forward to the rest of this championship.
