It’s twisty and fast roads were a good test for Pastrana and Durant as many stages having almost continuous jumps. Pastrana said, “We were in the air more than we were on the ground!” Durant described one of the Hastings stages as “Jump, Jump, Jump, Ice.”
The duo had a successful outing with 5 stage wins. But rally champion and Subaru of Canada driver Antonine L’Estage and Darren Garrod were too fast in their 2016 Subaru WRX STI. Pastrana and Durant blew a tire about 6 miles from the end of an extremely narrow stage section, and had to finish the stage at a reduced pace.
They were still able to finish the rally in second with limited knowledge of the roads and icy conditions at the Ontario event in the SRTUSA #199 Subaru WRX STI. Pastrana and Durant will be focusing next on 2017 and competing in the newly-formed ARA Rally series.
