He's gonna need a new side mirror.

My first thought, especially seeing the spikes, was "doesn't anyone care that the track is being damaged?"
I think it was at the end that it looked to be Subaru sponsored

not as hardcore as in the past but they are still very good drivers cars.

Pity that the high C02 emission is making these cars very expensive in the Netherlands.
(In Netherlands the WRX STI costs 90000,- Euro, while in our neighbour country Belgium, you can get them from 43000,- euro !!!)
