In the latest episode of Launch Control, Subaru is back on the attack in both RallyCross and Rally, searching for the podium. After the disappointment in the last RallyCross weekend, Team Subaru PUMA is on the hunt. And David Higgins and his crew are defending their lead in championship points in Rally America. Can they accomplish and bring home wins? Watch the episode to find out:
Sverre Isachsen develops a great technique in the extremely
challenging banks at the NASCAR Bristol speedway and takes advantage of the
weaknesses in other cars. Knowing that Subaru's team is very adept at fixing
failures from the last failed race, Sverre knows where his team's strengths are
and uses it to get close to the podium. Next time, he says, there won't be a
contest and they'll make it to the top. Attacks from behind, however, are
Sverre's main trouble, both in this race and in Germany when Ken Block took him
out of the running.
David Higgins and his team in Rally are on top and are
looking to stay on top of the Rally America Championship. Rally racing is
scored on points, not just on overall time, so there's potential that they
could easily drop down far in the standings if there was a failure that dropped
them off the podium in a major point contest. With only three race weekends left
in the tournament, it's now or never for Subaru's Rally team.
Tune in next time to find out if Higgins and his crew can
keep it together and stay in the lead when there's only a few seconds between
them and the next closest competitor.
