Ojibwe Forests Rally

CO-DRIVER’S REVENGE.
Apparently somebody electrified the handbrake.
ZAP.
Judging by the expression, the system appears to be functioning properly.
Co-drivers finally have a way to provide immediate feedback.

YUMPY!

And when you're in a Hyundai i20 N Rally2, apparently all four wheels on the road are optional.

Best seat in the house?

Well, that got their attention.
Car 157 arrives with absolutely no concern for keeping the forest floor where it found it.

FORE!

THREE WHEELS ARE PLENTY.

Car #131 was one of the more distinctive entries at Ojibwe this year — a 1972 Tuthill Porsche 911, with Della Valle making his U.S. stage-rally debut and 10-time U.S. rally champion David Higgins along for the weekend as his driver coach.
Old-school Porsche. Downtown Bemidji. One wheel decidedly unnecessary.
