EVO X getting it done in Rally America (pics and vids)
Attended the Rally America event this weekend, and got to see a few Evos rock the stages in South Eastern Missouri.

The overall event winner was Antoine L’Estage and Nathalie Richard driving a "2009" X beating both the Subie factory team entrys.

I snapped some pics if anyone is interested. Was a good time, and cool to see the X dominate over the blue wagon crew!

more can be seen here

Good to see Mitsu kicking *** yet again...

Why is this team so successful? Is it Antoine L’Estage? Or the car just that much better than the others?

L'astage is a good drive with a LOT's of seat time. Also he has one of the best co-driver. The car is very well build , doesnt look so good in person i think, but has all the neccesery equipments and all of them is top notch quality. ALso his car is very very light.
So it is a combination of 5 element. Good crew - good car - good on board crew- good sponsor back up - and lots of experience.

If one of those is missing you will not get on the peodium in rally.

I like L'astage he is a great guy and awesome driver.

I think its because of the good mix of the team, the car, and the driver

Rob you beat me to it!
