INFO · 07-31-2010, 05:54 PM

Tanner Foust Take First Place at X-Games Rally

Bebop · 07-31-2010, 06:01 PM

Congrats!!!

Anyone know when they will replay it?

Piner · 07-31-2010, 06:15 PM

Tanner was very smooth and fast the entire event. The course was VERY confusing and about 60% of the matches were decided because of someone going off course or having some sort of mechanical failure.

Bebop · 07-31-2010, 07:25 PM

Eff yeah Stephan Verdier!!!!!

Slapshotnerd · 07-31-2010, 07:36 PM

7 of 11 races in the Rally event ended in a DNF or DNQ. That's a very crappy ratio. Last year's course was way way better.

Bebop · 07-31-2010, 07:50 PM

Sam H just beat out ACP and Block for the LCQ

FORMULA D RUNS THE X GAAAAAAMES!!

Bebop · 07-31-2010, 08:10 PM

Hell YEAAAAAAAH

Formula D killed it

Super Rally

1st Foust
2nd Poppa Bro
3rd Hubinette
4th Stephan

So happy for these dudes!!!

Note: Some guy waved the checker early and Deegan never hit the jump. So Technically he should have been DQd there for FD would have swept the podium!

FD FTW!!!

Sorry Pastrami and Ken Socks!!! lol

Piner · 07-31-2010, 08:25 PM

Man I was hoping for an FD sweep, but two out of three is still freaking awesome!

Bebop · 07-31-2010, 08:26 PM

I just see it as 3 out of 4 lol

Sam wont be without a tire sponsor for a while, big time BFG plug at the end.

Jonny Fonseca · 07-31-2010, 09:39 PM

Pastrana didnt get to run right?

Bebop · 07-31-2010, 09:53 PM

Yeah his ish broke, tried to drive Dave's car but its against the rule.

Alot of jank a$$ rally cars.... I actually thought Stephan's was going to be the worst but the higher budget Subaru's were trash.

I'm Pro FD and all and I know I say this every year. But I really hope the good folks down in Long Beach are taking notes.

Bebop · 07-31-2010, 10:16 PM

Watch before YouTube takes it down

Deegan did do the "Joker" jump, just some bad commentating.

I'm still pleased with the results, entertaining race.

Jonny Fonseca · 07-31-2010, 11:27 PM

Blocks add to win a fiesta bothers me! No fiesta comes awd so why promote it with a damn awd car??? And when i saw them doing thos donuts i was like damn i want a fiesta now!!! Sucks that subaru is the only one u can buy awd and cheap!

Back to topic lol

The flag guy after he knoticed what he did u saw him like walking away scared of what he did hahaha

Correct me if im wrong but I think they did do the 5 laps! Count them! They passed the flag 5 times ... I think!

Mike Peters · 08-01-2010, 12:10 AM

Wrecked posted something about Verdier running his FD car with all the AWD stuff put back on, is that his FD car in the vid with a new paintjob and stuff?

If so, that guy is my hero.

Bebop · 08-01-2010, 12:20 AM

You know what Jonny.... your right!

After 2 laps to go they just stopped updating it... once again poor production, poor commentary, good race lol.

Even the running order was messed up, on the screen they showed Tanner droped to last a few times when he never lost first after turn 1 in the first lap.

They need to add on like 5 laps and 2 mandatory jumps!

And yea, that is his FD car, you can tell by the front bumper never hanging on right....lol jk

MonkeySlide · 08-01-2010, 12:36 AM

So FD drivers dominate the X games rally...

Does everyone realize what this means? All the extreme sports guys are now going to take up pro drifting to improve their rally skills. Lord help us!

Bebop · 08-01-2010, 12:46 AM

without getting into detail... it definitely goes both ways.

You're talking about JR right? He was hanging out with Block in the Monster Energy rally pit the whole weekend.

It would be interesting if it did happen but I'm not sure how great the chances are.

Well, a lot of FD guys are going to be doing the Ken Block Invitational, including JR. Maybe his next step is Rally Car RallyCross (or racing in TORC and/or LORRS, which I'd perfer to see, but I'm partial to the trucks

).

Slapshotnerd · 08-01-2010, 10:37 AM

Block already has gone drifting with JR. Just not competitively.... there were a lot of rumors that Block / JR were going to have their OWN team this year, aside from Falken. Looks like the Block leg of that plan didn't work out, but the Monster part did. I don't think Block will be drifting next year because he'll be too focused on his "grid" production, and presumably another season of WRC.

PS - Was anyone else entertained by Verdier's ability to keep parts on his car??? It's exactly like FD

Keep in mind JR/Block/Everyone involved is a car guy.

Just because they're playing with cars together doesn't mean they are going to dedicate the time and resources to do a full pro deal in whatever type of motorsport they are hanging out at.

Cars are fun, I doubt you'll see JR at WRC or Block at FD anytime soon, although we'll probably see them playing with cars a lot.

I was a little suprised Rhys didn't try to put a program together for X Games though. It's cool to see motorsports growing at X Games.

Piner · 08-01-2010, 01:45 PM

true, "where is rhys?" had crossed my mind especially since RMR was the one who prepped all of the fords

Actually No.

I'm referring to the fact that alot of formula D guys have backgrounds in sports that are in the x games before competing in FD.

Alot of BMX Motocross Snowboard and Surf junkies in the series
