The long story short. There is the Nurburgring. For the Porsche.    There is the VIR. For the Corvette.  Well kind of. What about Subaru? After doing the Nurburgring, climbing the Goodwood Hills it seemed like it was eating up all the roads it could find in its way. It was hungry for more. There is a magical road. Somewhere. No, it is not the Stelvio. This one is somewhere else. This one is better. Much better. Hint #1: Transsylvania.  Hint #2: Jeremy Clarkson called this road the best in the world. Hint #3  It is not. It is only the second best in Transsylvania. So game on. Sounds like a challenge. What do we need? Team spirit. Prodrive takes care of that. And a big hug. A road-hugging fast car. A WRX STI Type RA. And the road. The road closed to traffic for several hours... The result is staggering. The full 52.4 miles of the run went by in 40 minutes, 58.8 seconds. Average speed was 76.69 mph. Record made. Who's next?
