Subaru/WRC on the Discovery Channel

[turves]

From Crash.Net


Fans of the WRC will get a chance to go 'behind-the-scenes' later this month, when the Discovery Channel begins screening a documentary series focusing on 2006 and the trials and tribulations suffered by the Subaru World Rally team.

"‘Engineering the World Rally' joins the Subaru WRT as they and their driver, Petter Solberg, fight for the championship. With exclusive behind-the-scenes access for an entire season, this six-part series provides a unique insight into the deeply secretive world of big budget motorsport, getting under the skin of the British-run Subaru World Rally Team and following their every move as they prepare the cars for each event, test and shakedown," read a statement from the producers.

"What unfolds is a rollercoaster of action both behind-the-scenes and on the rally stage as they endure the worst year they've ever had. Driver issues, endless car trouble and pure bad luck sees them constantly fighting to keep pace with their rivals.

"'Engineering The World Rally' is there every step of the way as the team enjoy the high points - as they valiantly fight for small triumphs - and endure the low points that really test their resilience.

"Added to the mix is gripping action and, of course, wreckage, as well as insightful facts about how the cars are designed, built, tested and then kept on the road after the severe pounding they get every time the drivers take them out."

The first episode goes out on the Discovery Channel on Monday March 12, at 10.00 pm local time, one day after the Corona Rally Mexico, the fourth round in the 2007 FIA WRC, comes to a close.

Will someone rip this

[WRC2006]

I am afraid if this documentary will be screened really?

Otherwise we may discover the reality behind the lies of some people during their interviews in 2006?!

[koko0703]

Discovery Channel in the US!? Wow, I must see this show even if I have to go through all the suffer of being a Subaru fan again.

It's good to see rallying is getting more and more attention in the U.S., largely thanx to Travis Pastrana. This was on Discovery Channel couple weeks ago, too :)

170 feet?

that's only 50 metres. surely the guys have topped that in Finland?

[scoobysnips]

marrko martin, rally finland 2003, jumped 57 meters.

not to mention armin schwarz, rally portugal 2001, 73 meters!

[Gard]

Atko did a 60m jump on ss9 in rally norway.

[L5->R5/CR]

170 feet?

that's only 50 metres. surely the guys have topped that in Finland?



Yeah.

We ripped on it pretty good on the forums here in the US. It as decided that they meant longest air time, or ramp to ramp jump, or "gap jump" but not longest distance for a rally car to fly in the air.

He did only have to hit it at 60 mph afterall

[SubaruNorway]

But anyway it's more impressive than doing 57m on Oninpojua

[janneppi]

I disagree. :)
This was a one off jump with only one purpose, Märtins 170kph(100+mph), 57m jump while maybe not as high, was in the midst of a stage, with limited space to control the car before and after the jump. Markko didn't stop after the jump either, he went on finishing 5th(correct if wrong) on the stage.

[SubaruNorway]

Ok, but i think it's a lot harder on the nerves gearing up for the jump keen Block did :)

[Brother John]

Typical American show, that´s all! Everybody can do that, even my grandmother!!!!!!!! :D ;)

[fitzski]

An update and clarification on this show...

"Engineering the World Rally" is on Discovery UK (and probably other parts of Europe), but I don't think it will be broadcast on this side of the pond - at least, it doesn't appear in the American schedule.

Here is the Discovery page for the series:

[SubaruNorway]

[Subaru WRX]

[sasamsa]

And here is second episode : http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1073941/775222/
:D :s mokin:

[woong69]

I really enjoyed the first episode, (downloaded the torrent at demonoid)
and so glad to see the second one coming up
but they don't let me download any more!

Can anybody upload the second episode's torrent?
I'm dying for it-

:) :)

[Shrike]

What a nightmare reliving the 2006 season for the subaru team.

Here is that torrent file if you still need it.

[Fischer]

Many thanks for the torrent.
It surprised me that Subaru agreed into making this program, 2006 was the most miserable year in their rally-history.

[jparker]

Many thanks for the torrent.
It surprised me that Subaru agreed into making this program, 2006 was the most miserable year in their rally-history.

To be honest, I respect Subaru for that.
As a person not involved directly in rally racing, this is great stuff and it makes me feel connected and part of what they do.
As for the people who want to keep the sport for themselfs, and keep everything secret :down:

[MJW]

In hindsight 2006 was probably the best year to make such a documentary. Winning would have been boring!

[woong69]

Thank you so much for taking the hassle to upload!!
:D :D :D

[SubaruNorway]

Just whatched it, what a drama now we realy see whats realy happend. Agree with MJW whatching Loeb would have been realy boring and i dont think we would have got as close to the Citroen team

[woong69]

Just finished watching it...
and what a story....
A very miserable year for Subaru, 2006
but it makes a great story....

As a new rally fan (I just started watching this year)
It's being a real eye opener for me.

Thanks to Shrike for the torrent file.

[Shrike]

Thanks to Shrike for the torrent file.
You're welcome. It was no trouble at all. I am curious to know why you can't download from Demonoid. I have never had a problem.

[Minke]

What a nightmare reliving the 2006 season for the subaru team.

Here is that torrent file if you still need it.

Feel like uploading the 1st episode .ZIP file as well? :) I can't get onto demonoid.. I need an invite :)

cheers

[patwalsh13]

You can also download the programmes from Stanis' rally video site

http://rally.stanis.info/cz/new/

[Shrike]

cheers

Here you are if you don't have it already.

[Shrike]

Episode 3 can be downloaded here:
http://torrents.rally-club.net/

It's a .ts file and 1.2 gigs in size but it's the only one I can find right now.

[SubaruNorway]

Don't think its working Shrike, you click the link were it says
Торент: right


The uploads on demonoid will be up after easter if i understod it right

[sasamsa]

It works...

[pentti]

What struck me again what a waste money there is.All this engineers and computer screens + various gp systems. I am sure it's exciting watch how various cars do in this boring service park but does it make your car to go quicker and better!

[Shrike]

The drop-down box on the top right side allows you to change to English. It may be Bulgarian by default. I'm getting decent speed right now 50+kb/s

[BeerBro]

how do I open the .ts extension file?

[Shrike]

Media player classic, VLC player. I'm sure many others can play it too. Thats just from a quick google search.
You can also convert it to mpeg too.

[jidoka]

Apparently you need to register to download from that website.

[BeerBro]

you don't really, lol.
just grab the torrent posted by sasamsa, and connect to peers on DHT. works fine here. :)

[SubaruNorway]

Apparently you need to register to download from that website.

Yes it says in the general tab but it's still downloading, could someone give me the egsagt coorinates of the drop down box

[Shrike]

Circled in red.

[jidoka]

you don't really, lol.
just grab the torrent posted by sasamsa, and connect to peers on DHT. works fine here. :)

Thats all gone over my head. What does "DHT" stand for?

[gloomyDAY]

Does anyone know where I can find episode 4?

[Shrike]

http://www.racing-underground.com

[bennizw]

They are supposed to be jumping over certain rounds aren't they? Just thinking as the first two had each their round, and then the third had Argentina (Jumped a few rounds between), and the fourth is Germany and Finland. Just wondering, so I'm not missing something.

Yes, two more to go http://www.swrt.com/news/viewarticle.html?id=1226

[Curryhead]

Anyone know if this series is going to be released on DVD? I've looked around the website but can't find any mention, but then I have the attention span of a chicken :)

[N]

The next one is Japan and I guess that the last one will be the end of the season. This is a very good series, I wish they make more of this sort of stuff.

[Minke]

Any other torrent files for the next episode ? :) I've got 2 & 3 so far... :)


thanks

[Incrimn8r]

This series really highlights how wrong the speculation is during the year. When you read forumers stories from last year and then go and watch this doco, its amazing how wrong everyone has been!

[N]

episode 4 has been out for a while now

[Dingardo]

episode 5 is out now on demonoid.. however I dont have an account so I cannot download the torrent file as it was posted 3 days ago.

If someone has an account can they please upload the file here?

[woong69]

just change the .txt into .torrent and drag it into your Bitcomet or whatever

[woong69]

here you go
just change the extension from .txt to .torrent

[grugsticles]

[paritybit]

Hey guys, I run the wrc2007.ath.cx site. I just noticed these links being posted here when I was wondering why the traffic to my site all of a sudden spiked. :D These links came from a thread on a comment thread I would say from here (http://www.enormouslysideways.net/DoubleUAreSea/?p=7). It is a bit annoying people posting direct links like this but anyway, I have noticed a lot of people opening 5 or 6 connections to the server to download. Please don't do this, one download thread only (this means not using download accelerator programs and the like), the additional threads put more load on the server and will just result in the server getting shut down which no one wants. So guys hope you enjoy the episodes (haven't had a chance to watch them yet myself) and remember to be sensible when downloading. Thanks. :)

[MJW]

Is anyone having a problem with episode 3? It's the only one that does not work for me, something about a codec or file type not being supported by windows media player. Dont understand that because every other episode works. Any help appreciated.

I'm having same problem. Only episode 3 cannot be open, and I don't know why. But 5 episodes are still much better than nothing :) A big thank you for the people put them on the web.

[GlenW]

I think it's been done with a different codec. VLC media player is a free download and will play episode three fine.

[paritybit]

Yeah, looking at episode 3 it is encoded with x264 so the easiest way to play it would be to use VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) which is completely free and a great player to use when you can't play a file with anything else.

[Fischer]

Very nice series.

The only minor mistake I could find was in the episode of Germany and Finland. When the narrator introduces rally Finland, they show some footage of Finland 2005, but accidently also one clip of 307WRC in rally Japan.

[pentti]

In UK this repeated in sky ch Disc. Turbo.

[A.F.F.]

I watched the episode 1 yesterday and it was really interesting. If only they would have known what we all know now.... *sigh*

[gloomyDAY]

I watched the episode 1 yesterday and it was really interesting. If only they would have known what we all know now.... *sigh*Sad, isn't it?

I have all the torrents. E-mail me if you want one of the episodes and I'll try to seed.

[GruppoB]

before watching it i truly thought that petter was equally to blame for poor performance

after watching the series im sure the car was mainly to blame

you can find all the episodes as torrents btw but im sure the mods would frown on me posting links to "pirated" stuff

so have fun find it yourselves!

[A.F.F.]

Sad, isn't it?

I have all the torrents. E-mail me if you want one of the episodes and I'll try to seed.

Cheers gloomyDAY but I think that Discovery channel is going to air it reruns. I mostly feel sorry for Petter too. He tried to be optimistic back then.
