This might be a repost on VIC, as it's in the general forums.
Yoshi_86 linked me to it and was entertaining watching Solberg's driving and commentary :P

not a WRC car, but it is a 08 STi.

Meh, you can't really believe a word that guy says, he might as well just be reading stuff out of a brochure when he does any of his test drives or gives his impression of a new STi. Plus he comes across as a bit annoying.

I'm pretty sure he gets paid for every nice thing he talks about the STi (even the massive understeer on the second corner).

Heres the 08 Group N STI driven by Toshihiro Arai. I'm not too sure if its him because the car says Konishi.... Anyway, it seems like Arai (or Konishi) is able to control the car better than Solberg. Maybe Solberg is not used to tarmac road. Who knows?

That was Toshi Arai, Konishi is the person who drives the safety stage sweep car for WRC Japan.

It's a Group N rally car, with a dogbox? It also looks like it is on gravel tires on tarmac?

nice video, just got a dumb question, how many hp are those WRC cars have?

Keeping in mind that they're required to use a restrictor on the turbo, Google search yielded an answer of ~300-340hp and close to 400lb-ft of tq... Not sure how accurate that might be
