Episode 7 of Launch Control just hit Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHCbNfgYxX4) and it's gut wrenching. Watch the video below to find out what happens in Barcelona for Bucky and his RallyCross crew and see if Higgins can hold on to his lead in Susquehannock Trail Rally in Pennsylvania.
On
clay in super wet conditions, Bucky's Subaru just can't race well at high
speeds without crashing. No car is invincible, after all, so it's important to
play it safe. And Higgins and his crew learn where they can push their Subaru
to the limits and where they can't - it just happens at a really inopportune
time.
It's
no matter, though, to these Subaru rally drivers. They'll keep on driving as
best they can to get back on top. With the first day of racing done in
Pennsylvania, Higgins and the Subaru Rally USA team are down to 21st
from their leading position in the National Championship. But the team isn't
ready to give up and we'll find out in the next episode whether or not they can
pull off a big gain to make it to the podium.
If
you've been enjoying these episodes of the races, you can look at more
information about the races on the Rally America website. Just be aware that
the episodes don't correspond with what's actually happening in real-time. The
Susquehannock Trail Rally was back at the beginning of June and it takes time
for the camera and production crew to get the next episodes together. If you're
hankering to cruise around the Rally America website and don't want to know
what happened until you see the episode, be sure to only look at races already
shown in Launch Control.
Next
weekend in real-time, Higgins and the Subaru USA team will go to Maine to the
New England Forest Rally to compete but we likely won't see that episode until
we're well into August!
