It may prove difficult for the Paladin Rally Team to surpass the accomplishments of 2005. Driver Matt Iorio won the North American Drivers Cup, capping off a second place finish in the United States Rally Championship, third in the Canadian Association of Rallysport Championship, and first in Open Class in the Rally America Championship.

Paladin Rally is Driver Matt Iorio, Co-driver Ole Holter, and Master Crew Chief Phil Ho. The team had an impressive season of 16 races, with Rally's in the ice in Maniwaki, Quebec, to the desert of Laughlin, Nevada.
Even though the Team is competing in both the CARS and Rally America Championships, the focus for 2006 will be on individual race wins. “We’ve had very consistent podium finishes, but we’ve also been consistently eluded by overall victory.”
Two new Open Class Subaru Imprezas are due for debut this year. They will be the familiar 2 door version that Paladin Rally is recognized in. “The chassis may be old, but these cars will be the cutting edge of what a private team can build.”
You can keep track of Paladin Rally on TV, as both the US and Canadian portions of their racing will be televised. You can also expect this website to offer the pictures, videos, in-car videos, and commentary that has always been provided. So girls wear a thick sweater, and boys hook & tuck, because 2006 will be very exciting! | |
