This grueling contest covers some of the most treacherous roads in North America. The teams began in Seattle, Washington on February 18th, included a stop in Whitehorse, Yukon Territories, Canada and crossed the finish line nearly 5,000 miles later in Anchorage, Alaska on February 26th. The contest consisted of traditional rally time-speed-distance tests, steep hill-climbs and descents as well as a number of ice-racing competitions. Through it all, the BMW X3s took everything the teams asked of them in stride.
"Everybody in the BMW Brigade was impressed with the X3... the speed and handling of the vehicles, especially on the ice, was phenomenal--that's what let us take the lead from Day One,"
The X3 victory is even more significant in that the trucks were totally out of their element, which is, arguably, the New Jersey Turnpike. Six Suburu's ran the AlCan 5000, including one WRX. Rallying is Suburu's forte, not BMWs, and the competition was fierce but BMW bested the Japanese at their own game. Now, rallying is all about the navigator and driver in that order, but to win you need a good vehicle as well. There's no discounting the X3, in or out of its element. BMW's electronic xDrive all-wheel drive system works seamlessly under normal driving conditions, transferring power between front and rear wheels as dictated by DSC and yaw sensors. On the way to Wal-Mart, you'll never even notice the system is functioning.
