Travis Pastrana rounded out his 2024 ARA campaign in the best possible fashion, clinching a hat-trick of American wins aboard his Subaru WRX. There was, however, a subplot at the season-closing Lake Superior Performance Rally.
Way out west, near the town of Virgin, Utah, this year’s American champion was also winning. Having clinched this year’s ARA crown (his third straight), Brandon Semenuk took the weekend off to contest Red Bull Rampage – the world’s wildest mountain bike event – which he won for the fifth time.
Pastrana was happy to celebrate his third victory in a second half of the year which contrasted starkly with what had proved to be a troubled return to the sport at the top of ’24. Typically and selflessly Pastrana pointed to his team-mate’s efforts on two wheels.
