Pastrana seeks WRC comeback in 2019

-

American action sports star Travis Pastrana is chasing a return to the World Rally Championsh­ip.

The Subaru Rally Team USA driver, who tackled three P-WRC rounds in 2007, is busy with Nitro Circus and rallycross commitment­s, but has revealed he would love to tackle and commit three years to conquering Finland’s epic WRC round.

“For a long time American rallying was just show up, get your notes, and go,” said Pastrana. “It’s not even the same sport to what the guys are doing in the world championsh­ip so if I went to Finland, [I’d] go back three years in a row to the same route. If I can take one event that I love and just keep going back, keep refining the notes and really try to, in three years’ time, even if that’s not going for a win, if it’s whatever my best is, I think it would be really cool.”

Pastrana is David Higgins’ team-mate at Subaru USA and finished second to the Manxman in the 2017 American series.
