God, the skill needed to handle 850hp. I don't think I could drive something that slides that much. My 07 Subaru has about 680hp and its hard to control even with good tires and all the suspension work.
Great video, really well put together. At this stage 45 dislikes. That would be 20 Ford owners, 20 Chev owners & 5 Dodge owners.....All to embarrassed to get their talents on the track.
No, Roger Clark, the legendary racing driver, is dead. The company is called Roger Clark Motorsport and is run by his two sons, and Ollie is the son behind the wheel, a VERY good driver. Awesome video too!
I drive a wrx and I get nothing but thumbs up from evo guys. Everytime I see an evo they get a thumbs up from me as well. There is a mutual respect because both machines are awesome and they both have the same roots from world rally championship. I have feeling that the people talking trash are 16 year olds who don't even own either car. Their only experience with them is forza, gran turismo or video games. Give respect to other petrol heads, don't act like a ricer honda brotard.
The way that pilot drives his Impreza looks similar to a horseman trying to control a wild mustang. He is at the same time trying to gain speed and control over the machine.
Driver is Olly Clark, son of the late Roger Clark. Olly along with his brother Matt own RCM (Roger Clark Motorsport) and this particular impreza is called the Gobstopper...
This subaru is called the gobstopper, it's owned, built and driven by brothers matt and ollie clark of rogerclark motorsport, it's a time attack car hence why it has to so much power, it was built for a purpose and that was to show it could be done, smashing records is just a by product of trying to make the worlds most badass subaru.
Fkn great watching the Gobstopper going sideways over the ripple strip and Olly just keeping the foot planted to straighten it out - that bloke has balls the size of watermelons.
white subaru driver is pretty damn ballsy. It looks like the suspension and the lineament looks off. If he turn the boost down a bit he could had a better time. But still Monster control, got some guts.
@scarble and this is clearly the British Time Attack Series, which is for after-market tuners. The series is even used as an R&D exercise, so they'll stick to real road car engines as they want to test systems they'll be bringing to market. There's a slim chance some might do engine swaps for a bigger engine from the same manufacturer, but that's unlikely as they're trying to showcase their ability to tune that particular car.
My attempt to be as unbiased as possible: The Mitsu Evo is sharper, harder and edgier than the Impreza, but the Subaru has better torque distribution via it's limited slip diff (on the P1 models especially) and is a more comfortable, easier car to live with day to day. If you ask me, power is nothing without control, and Subaru's super-clever diff takes the pot.
@AdelaideGraffScene Well they are straight up tuner cars with 850hp...(Not sure if they were built for that kind of power) so i would say yes...they are very hard to control
@susandale1 Brands Hatch is in Kent, England. Camaros and Mustangs would be imports there too. The domestics would be the Lotuses that you did see. ..also in that class the Mustang and Camaros likely have engines that are too large for the rule book and couldn't compete if they wanted to.
I'm a proud owner of an Evo 8 and I still thought this vid was effing sick. That's one mean Subie. Why all the hate though ? Both manufacturers make legendary cars IMO... & Rather than demonically stare down the passing wrx/sti or evo when I see one going past, I prefer to give them my "fucking sick car bro" -thumbs up of approval and show them I was mirin.. I celebrate all JDM cars. Leave the skinhead wars for Ford and Holden. All cars in this vid were sexy as fuck. Loved the power slides.
@JKeenLow I'm very well enlightened on the subject - I'm the biggest car enthusiast I've ever known. I could say 'car' before anything else, and I could say 'Ford' before 'mum'... The Evo's diff is very clever, yes. But the ProDrive P2 is proof that ProDrive's diffs are nothing short of remarkable. If they were to implement the exact same system on Subaru's top-end Imprezas, they'd be a force to be reckoned with... ...But the latest Impreza is a crushing disappointment compared to days of old.
This just takes my love for Subaru to a hole new lvl
Is "hole" a play on words ?
Still watch this video whenever I need motivation to go and build and race faster cars....love this video
Absolutly awesome. Lots of money + good driving skills. Much better than Ferraris!
no >:(
Amen brother !
Maybe, but it’s a crime to not drive a Ferrari in Italy
God, the skill needed to handle 850hp. I don't think I could drive something that slides that much. My 07 Subaru has about 680hp and its hard to control even with good tires and all the suspension work.
Normally I would be shouting 'lose the music' but this is good, I can hear the cars. Don't diss The Prodigy!!
Wow. You really need to let us hear the engines instead of the music -.-
Used to watch this all the time, glad i found it again
Who's watching this in 2021? Those are still crazy fast Subaru! Thank you darkandier !
This is my second favourite video of subaru over the all internet!!!
What's the first?
I've uploaded it so you can see it on my channel, but it's not originally mine. :)
that thing comes out of the corners like a rocket. Its videos like this that make me miss my scooby
These cars are OG status, i havent seen these subarus in a long time
Every kid wants to be an astronaut, or fireman, or doctor, but this has long since been the epic wish now. Truly awesome cars.
when you think you are going FASSSTTTTT...
those guys overtake you suring a drivt!!
really freaks!
Great great driving + footage!
wow love that even when runout of track just keep it planted and get back on due to super power and awd :)
I don't know what sounds better. The awesome music or the roaring of the engine.
really very nice the white impreza.
It's like best race category. At least for me. All the legendary cars with nice power :O
I like how when the Subarus run off track, they GET traction!
This is the most beautiful classic body style ever.
Long Live AWD!!!
love how he changes up a gear half way through the Corner and power slides out of it like he the Stig
i adore the fact all of these cars are road legal. without question some of the fastest cars on this earths roads.
1:44 I FKIN LOVE IT!!! I LOVE IT
thumbs up for every power slide!
for those who might wonder, the song is "Invaders Must Die", from Prodigy :)
Prodigy works a treat in these sorts of vids!
I wish i'd get to see these cars live. :/
Legendary Olly Clark AKA "Mr. Steel balls" 😂 and his Gobstopper 💪
I agree. subaru should totally make another coupe. there's obviously a big enough market for them. they'd be bought up in a flash
Seeing RC Scooby reminds me of that line from a 50cent song.... "Hit the clutch, hit the gear, hit gas and I'm gone"
wonderful driving action by Olly Clark....and love that 22B it looks good and drives fast. Thanks for the great video !
1.45 is a result of precision and drift awesomeness
So crazy cars and mans !!
Trop trop dingue ces mecs là c'est du rally sur circuit là :D et les caisses tout simplement
Great video, really well put together. At this stage 45 dislikes. That would be 20 Ford owners, 20 Chev owners & 5 Dodge owners.....All to embarrassed to get their talents on the track.
Very good video!!!I drive self on the nurburgring and this year comes good vids from me and my car.Very good!!! Grretz from Germany
1:44 is The best part! and THE BEST PASS
he's not driving that subaru, he's hanging on for dear life!
evo looks sick subaru sounds and seems more sick ;D both sick and lovable cars
whoever is driving that subaru got some excellent driving skills
the best super number one awsome happy fun time video everrrrrr!!!!....times 10

@CKTV True. I remember in top gear, the once said: You race the Evo on the nurburgring, but you drive home with the Impreza.
god this video makes you wanna get up and drive your car like a maniac...or at the very least pop in your favorite racing game
The way that pilot drives his Impreza looks similar to a horseman trying to control a wild mustang. He is at the same time trying to gain speed and control over the machine.
these guys are really driving the wheels off ... awsome stuff
another great video and of course car
Great video! really good footage and HQ. That Rex is an absolute weapon
Driver is Olly Clark, son of the late Roger Clark.
Olly along with his brother Matt own RCM (Roger Clark Motorsport) and this particular impreza is called the Gobstopper...
sequential gearbox, pulling towards you is shifting up,
pressing the stick away is shifting down
@1:46
Suby was like 'coming through Evo!!!' VROOOOOOOOMMM
Epic LMAO
1:18 pure skill and BIG balls :P
Remember when people made youtube videos like THIS instead of 30-fucking-minute long VLOGS?
Vlogs bore me to fucking hell
Thank you so much man!!!! I feel the exact same way only from the Subaru viewpoint. Can't we all just get along & agree we both drive sickly cars?
skill and confidence, most drivers will lift when touching the grass. Still needs a softer front though to cut the understeer.
Excellent song choice Prodigy FTW!
i love the fensport celica at the start too. so sick.
the music made the video so much better added heaps of effect otherwise wouldn't have been as exciting
just one word.....FANTASTIC!
It is nice seeing a Lotus!
This subaru is called the gobstopper, it's owned, built and driven by brothers matt and ollie clark of rogerclark motorsport, it's a time attack car hence why it has to so much power, it was built for a purpose and that was to show it could be done, smashing records is just a by product of trying to make the worlds most badass subaru.
1:18 sick driving!
100% agree. the V5 was my personal fave..beauty!
0:51 very very nice
Invaders Must Die + engine sounds = AWESOMENESS
@ThaReDeeMeR Seriously, this is something that Speed channel is made for!
that's a hell of a monster Subaru . . . . NICE!
And this is the definition of 'Too Much..." for all STI owners (including me)!
2:01- The noise. Oh the noise!
Fkn great watching the Gobstopper going sideways over the ripple strip and Olly just keeping the foot planted to straighten it out - that bloke has balls the size of watermelons.
white subaru driver is pretty damn ballsy. It looks like the suspension and the lineament looks off. If he turn the boost down a bit he could had a better time. But still Monster control, got some guts.
That fucking music. Why adding it?
It's the engines that must have been listened to
Yeah Alex....the music shits me off too...there is no place for music in video footage like this.
Man... I had forgotten this amazing video

Roger Clark is amazing
Holy shit! that Subaru is crazy.
:51 badass drift. Long live the gc8 and gm8
0:49 for EPIC Tail Kick :D
1:43 epic overtake
1:18, awesome driving!
that white subaru driver is NUTS!!!!

I'd like to see these things race each other legitimately as well, instead of just time attack. These things are incredible.
@susandale1
Brands Hatch is in Kent, England. Camaros and Mustangs would be imports there too. The domestics would be the Lotuses that you did see.
..also in that class the Mustang and Camaros likely have engines that are too large for the rule book and couldn't compete if they wanted to.
that thing just flies across the road.

pretty sick! great vid, music, cars, powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The cars a fucking maniac .. I bloody love it 😍
1:43 omg that thing took offfff!!!!!
BEST VIDEO ON TH-cam EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a machine !
1:17 = if in doubt, flat out :)))
these cars must have sick power-to-weight ratios
What a beast best car in the world
bro when i was a kid my dad had brought me to this race and another one where i got to see gobstoper 2 before it was fully relesed
@JKeenLow I'm very well enlightened on the subject - I'm the biggest car enthusiast I've ever known. I could say 'car' before anything else, and I could say 'Ford' before 'mum'...

...But the latest Impreza is a crushing disappointment compared to days of old.
Goddamn Olly Clark's Subie is fecking ridonculous
1.43-1.46 that rocks!
This would make DirecTV's Speed Channel worth watching more. Speed channel is supposed to be for car enthusiasts and such. This would be great...
Sick video, 2:17 holy understeer LMAO!
You're telling me. I just got a woody from that video A+++
