BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN RALLY.

CHALLENGING FORM OF RACING THAT
YOU CAN DO AS A DRIVER.
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE AN F 1
DRIVER, A NASCAR DRIVER, AN INDY
DRIVER, YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE A
WORLD RALLY DRIVER, YOU WANT TO
DRIVE RALLYCROSS.
DRIVE RALLYCROSS. BUT TRACKS HAVEN'T CHALLENGED
THE VEHICLES.
THE VEHICLES. THEY HAVEN'T CHALLENGED THE
DRIVERS ENOUGH TO GET THEM OVER.
AND I WANT EVERY TRACK TO BE
DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT. I WANT ONE TRACK TO BE SNOW AND
ICE.
ICE.
ICE. ONE

INCREDIBLE FEELING.
INCREDIBLE FEELING. TAKING OFF.
