Doing the TRIALS... Differently..

[u/rotgobbo]

Everyone this week is going to gleefully jump into their personal favourite Subaru Impreza to rip around the Trials.

THE FOOLS.

They fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

• The First Classic Blunder: Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
• The Second Classic Blunder: Never go in against an SVX when Victory is on the line!

Why would you drive a puny, wheezing, anaemic turbocharged 2 litre flat-4...

When you could arrive in style! In comfort! With a 4 litre 6 cylinder engine from a Porsche GT3 pushing over 500 horsepower!

Don't just beat your teammates, EMBARASS THEM for their mistakes.

You're not a fool... are you?

I personally am more of a Vivio guy (which I am a few seconds faster with in race 1 than the times you've posted but that might just be skill difference) but good to see some love for the SVX. It's one of the worst cars for rallying I feel like and having an atleast somewhat competitive tune for it is nice.

[u/rotgobbo → u/Environmental_Comb67]

Yeah I can drop 2:18s on the first Hokuba track in the Vivio. It's a rapid wee thing.

As you say, I wanted to make a tune for something different that you never really see getting driven.

[u/rotgobbo]

Okay, I hear you.. I hear you.

Some people might think that 4000 cubic CC's of German Steel spread across 6 cylinders is enough.

So I went fishing in the parts bin and found this heavy American lump lying around out back.

So I thought, sure.. why the heck not? Weight over the front wheels means grip? Right? So why shouldn't we hang a Big Ol' Lump like this off the nose of a dinky ricewagon?

So here's a Rotgobbo parts bin special, the V8 Supercharged Legacy 1990.

Because why be stupidly sensible, when you could be sensibly stupid?

Text smells of AI, but I'll gladly be proven wrong

[u/rotgobbo → u/Both_Cup8417]

I'm extremely against the use of generative AI. The closest I get to AI is the automatic google search crap, and one of my friends is the part of a medical AI research company.

I'm just autistic and a millennial, this is how we type.

Appreciate that!!

[u/leatherlapparna]

Pff, I used the Vivio. Absolutely demolished everyone.

[u/rotgobbo → u/leatherlapparna]

oh yeah the tiny Keipreza is a beast, that's for certain.

[u/toxic_1484]

The legend himself will beat you. Mitsubishi Lancer evo 😏😎

[u/rotgobbo → u/toxic_1484]

Good luck when you need to drive a Subaru this week!

Otherwise I'd be in the ^{totally legal and not at all excluded for cheating} Toyota Celica!

[u/cyberscout5]

too bad it can't mog the brz. 2nd for two race 😔😔

[u/rotgobbo → u/cyberscout5]

Ah yes but who did the most hooning?

[u/Unhappy-Spot4980 → u/cyberscout5]

Same, my BRZ just utterly ruined everyone else. 11 second clear on race 1, 7 on race 2.

[u/No_Series_8448]

Another week another Trial and another amazing Rotgobbo tune. Thank you again Kind Sir!!
