Pat Richard wins the 2008 Rocky Mountain Rally in new Subaru Impreza STI
Two-time Canadian Rally Champion Pat Richard made his return to the top of the podium in a new 2008 Subaru Impreza STI at the Rocky Mountain Rally, Round 2 of the Canadian Rally Championship, presented by Subaru.
Despite teething problems with the freshly prepared car, Richard swept into the lead this weekend after championship rivals Andrew Comrie-Picard and Antoine L’Estage suffered mechanical problems that forced both teams out of the rally.
“We didn’t expect to win, but it’s a great finish,” said Pat Richard. “The team worked really hard to make this happen.”
