The moment Subaru performance fans have been waiting for is finally here—the new season of Subaru's Launch Control has begun! This episode features David Higgins and Craig Drew as they make their triumphant return to the Rally Championship as last year's winners. But can they defend their title in the race that cost them dearly last year? Watch the video below to find out.
With no less dramatic challenges than last year's race, the
Subaru team adapted well to the troubles, even driving without much visibility at
all and still keeping their lead. Do you think you could drive a Subaru in deep
snow and ice at high speeds while only having races notes to go by? Not many
people have that kind of skill and it really goes to show just how great a
driver David Higgins is. It's that kind of adaptability mirrored by the whole
Subaru team that wins races like the Sno*Drift Rally.
At one point in the video, David Higgins notes there were
many times when they thought the Subaru just wouldn’t be able to take more
beating. But he says "These Subarus—they make them strong." The demands of
driving in high snow drifts, especially since they were driving first on many
of the stages, can really take a toll on cars. The force of the snow, for
instance, pried off the back bumper cover! But the Subaru Team's car kept going long past
when they thought it was possible.
If even expert drivers and mechanics like the Subaru Rally
Team are impressed with the quality of Subarus and their ability to take a
serious beating, it stands to reason that a Subaru will be able to take whatever you dish out, from camping trip to carpool.
