When we last left Launch Control, David Higgins and his team had fallen to 21st place after a crash, leaving them with much work to do, and Subaru's Rally Cross team had yet to see a race with the first event rained out in Barcelona. For Higgins, this means a hard climb to the top to keep championship points towards the National Championship. For Rally Cross, they're looking at two events over a weekend. Watch the video below to see what happens:
With some keen driving, David Higgins and his team are still
on top for the National Championship but Ken Block and his team are breathing
down their necks. With a few more losses of points because of crashes, Higgins
could quickly lose the lead.
Ken Block also competes in Rally Cross events and sent
Subaru's drivers spinning during one of the Munich events, eventually leading
to his disqualification as cars are not allowed to hit each other to the point
of sending each other spinning like Block did to Subaru's car. Block has history with Subaru, as he
represented Subaru as their driver in the 2008 season but left to drive for another
team the following year. It's no
surprise then that Higgins aims to beat Block.
The next few races are high point races, meaning there's a
lot at stake. Check back for the next episode of Launch Control where we'll
take you to the New England Rally to see if Higgins can stay on top.
