    Matk Higgins Sets IOM Lap Record In 2015 A WRX STI



    If you're a Subaru or rally fan you probably already know Mark Higgins set the Isle Of Man lap record for cars, but to those who haven't heard I blogged about it, including the video of Higgins' epic 150-mph save during his 2011 record.

    It's not often you get to appreciate the skill and talent that goes into racing a car until it goes wrong and the driver is able to save it. Just watch what he has to do with the wheel to stop his Subaru from smashing into a wall.

    Lots of fancy music and cuts but there's video at least.

    Going through the stuff they done to the car...

    So in SCCA AutoX terms this would probably be a Street Touring type mod, new dampers and springs, reflashed ECU but no increase power, new exhaust, seats and harness...etc. The cage will probably make it a Street Mod or Street Prepared though...

    Not exactly stock, but still, impressive lap, and god it looks scary as hell...
