Travis Pastrana in the new colin mcrae dirt video game
�
�
Travis will contribute his voice for DIRT: Colin McRae Off-Road as the pre-competition presenter and introduce players to forthcoming race events, specific stages and car characteristics. If players blaze a trail to glory, he�ll be ready to congratulate them on their performance and let them know if they�re ready to advance to tougher championships.
On August 5th, Travis won the gold medal in the rally event in the 12th summer X Games, held in Los Angeles. Ironically, in doing so, he knocked co-competitor Colin McRae into second place after McRae spectacularly rolled his car through the last jump.
�It was awesome to compete against McRae in this year�s summer X Games and even better to win the first rally event in the series,� said Travis Pastrana. �I�ve admired Colin McRae for a long time and the McRae games have an incredible reputation as the best in their field. It�s very cool to now be directly involved in the production of DIRT: Colin McRae Off-Road and to be able to share my enthusiasm for rallying and off-road racing with gamers.�
Born October 8, 1983 in Annapolis, Maryland, Travis is a Moto X champion and has competed professionally in rally events since 2003�s Race of Champions. He has driven the Subaru WRX STi for the Subaru-sponsored Vermont SportsCar team and currently leads the driver standings in the Rally America National Championship. In addition to winning the 12th summer X Games rally, he received the Moto X Best Trick Gold for pulling the first-ever double back flip in the competition, and won the Moto X Freestyle event
**Looks like his trusty co-driver gets his name in the game***

AFAIK, the 2006 Subaru Rally Team USA car is actually supposed to be in the game, too.

Well, there you are. Apparently, this, too, is beyond the scope of my need-to-know folder. :)

Congrats Christian!
Now if Ken and Alex are NOT in the game - you can hold that one over him . . .like . . . forever!
I will buy an x box 360 just for this game - so I can "be" Travis.

They've used the US SRT for the last few releases, even when Subaru rally wasn't sucking eggs.

Bah, I painted one for Richard Burns Rally in Sno*Drift '06 livery a long time ago. ;)

If I send you a photo of my car and say a team shirt and hat - could you do one of my car?
PM me if at all interested.
Thanks

Sure, I could definitely do one. Just send me some pictures (I'll pm you my email address) and what model Impreza you want it on, and I could bang one together when I get some free time.
BTW, the game that Alex is featured in is Rallisport Challenge 2 for the original Xbox. Great game; I haven't played it in a while since my OG Xbox keeled over and died.

Gloves. Crazy.
Even more crazy: Nomex co-driver gloves --

What will they think of next - a wetted sponge on the rollcage for moistening the fingertips?

i have the sparco driving gloves with that fine felt type leather, which makes page turning much easier than with bare fingers (guess i have dryer hands than normal)
never had a problem wearing gloves.

I get sweaty palms - but not from driving:banana:
| Protege Menace | 10-06-2006 04:32 PM |
i only get nervous when I'm with new drivers. the 3 fast guys I usually co for I'm comfortable with (not sure if thats good or bad) but i rarely clench my knot with them.

Half finger gloves so your fingertips can roast a bit quicker than the rest of your hand... :eek: :lol:
