The Mitsy won it the year before. Unfortunately Mitsy have no backing from the factory like Subaru. So last years winner an Evo X owned more or less privately beat the Subaru factory team.
Congrats to Antoine L'Estage / Nathalie Richard for winning the NEFR today and clinching the 2010 Rally America Championship in their EVO X! On a side note, Pastrana blew the motor on his STI on stage 11 of the Forest New England Rally today and DNF'd!
