The Druidale Rally unfolds over a handful of stages on the Isle of Man. It’s the TT that gets (and rightfully deserves) all of the attention, but there IS a route that four-wheel enthusiasts can take. It’s demanding, tight, twisting, beautiful, and in the middle of nowhere… on an island in the middle of the Irish Sea.
This is where we’ve been given the chance to ride shotgun in a full-on brand-new Subaru rally car. The man behind the wheel is Mark Higgins. The fatter man in the shotgun seat is… me. Thankfully I don’t have to give any directions.
Higgins has it all under control…

    Did Higgins actually make two wrong turns on that stage?
    Was this a competitive stage?
    I am confused. I wish I could hear the conversation.

    new car, 8 miles on new engine; I think we can assume this is a private test…
