Video: 100 Acre Wood wrap up from FOC

While the drivers and co-drivers where nestled up all snug in their rally rally cars, Canadian film maker Warwick Patterson and his peeps were freezing their fingers off at the side of the road at the 2008 100 Acre Wood Rally. Why were these guys standing in the woods freezing their digits (among other body parts)? To bring us some incredible video of course!

Pay special attention to the voice over. That silky tone belongs to none other than Jen Horsey, who makes all the details work at Team ACP.

Video: In car with Ken Block at 100 Acre Wood

Ever wondered what it is like on the inside of a full on rally car on a winter stage? Take a ride with Ken Block at maximum attack on Stage 2 of the 2008 100 Acre Wood rally in the Monster Energy Subaru. At times this ride is so fast that co-driver Alex Gelsomino invokes the name of The Father, and of The Son. Perfect for Good Friday!

Believe it or not, Andrew Comrie-Picard kept this battle worn Mitsubishi EVO IX alive to pull out a 4th place finish at last weekend’s 100 Acre Wood rally in snowy Missouri. Battling a failing transmission, ACP was pushing hard to stay on the pace, when Mother Nature threw a couple of trees in the way! Even with substantial front an rear end damage, the EVO kept running. The impressive finish kept the team in 2nd place in the US Championship, behind the factory backed Subaru of Ken Block.

Team ACP has announced that they will be offering weekly progress updates for the rest of the season on Youtube, but we’ll also be posting them here in The Garage. You can check out the coverage from Perce Neige after the break.
