I rode in a friend’s Ferrari (1978 308) recently and while I love how it sounds… I often can not get enough of the turbocharged sound. So if you love the sound of turbochargers doing work here you go:

It may be an older video of ours, but I love it and cannot get enough.
Update: Apparently I decided to post this exactly two years after uploading it to YouTube. Odd.
It is the first time in a long time that a private (not really factory supported) team has podiumed in the WRC’s top class. While we’re stuck with two manufacturers, there are still plenty of teams. One of my favorite teams is Petter Solberg’s self run rally team and he happened to finish 3rd in Rally Cyprus. That really is indicative of the talent Petter Solberg has and it really makes me wonder about Subaru. Maybe there really was something wrong with how Prodrive was making the Subaru WRC car.
In usual fashion Sebastien Loeb finished first. I don’t know how he keeps that up. Many people would lose focus after winning as much as he has. He keeps getting faster too. It really is quite amazing.
Mikko Hirvonen, Ford’s favorite for the WRC pulled out a 2nd place finish. He’s now only 8 points behind Loeb in the championship standings and with 75% of the season’s points still up for grabs he has plenty of hope to be the World Rally Champion.
The next WRC race is April 2nd, 2009 and it is Rally Portugal.
Rally Norway took place this past weekend and the results were not far from expected. Loeb (Citroen) took the top of the podium with Mikko Hirvonen (Ford) close behind with Jari-Matti Latvala (Ford) rounding out the podium.
Petter Solberg had an outstanding performance for his first competition in a Citroen. He placed 6th grabbing 3 points for himself. He was squeaked out of fifth by Daniel Sordo (Citroen). Ford had a strong presence in the top eight(5 out of 8), but then again there are only two manufacturers in the competition so they should be split pretty evenly.
