  • Travis Pastrana straps into the Airslayer STI, his 862-horsepower monster from Gymkhana 2020, to attempt a Mount Washington Hillclimb record that will stand the test of time. But first, the team heads to the UK to give the Airslayer its first taste of world-class competition at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb Shootout.
    The award-winning Subaru Launch Control documentary series returns for its ninth season, going inside the 2021 Subaru Motorsports USA rally and rallycross campaigns and starring team drivers Travis Pastrana, Scott Speed and Brandon Semenuk. The season’s first episode, kicking off the American Rally Association (ARA) season at the Sno*Drift Rally, debuts today on RUclips. New episodes will follow each Wednesday, covering the ARA and Nitro Rallycross (NRX) championship seasons as well as one-off events like Pastrana’s stunning record attempt at the 2021 Mt. Washington Hillclimb.

    To take Alec's ashes up the mountain on the run and to not milk it for commercial gain speaks volumes and exudes class. Thank you, Travis and Subaru.

    Man... What an incredible episode. I'll never forget watching the World Record run the day it was released and being in complete awe of what had just taken place before my eyes! But to see this in depth video, and hearing the story of taking the ashes of that poor man's deceased son up the mountain with him takes it to a whole different level. That has to had made this even more special for Travis and the team. Great job, and congrats to everyone involved. This was beautiful ❤

    Travis is one year older than me. So when I was a little kid racing dirt bikes I looked up to him. As a teen in freestyle motocross I really looked up to him. Now as an adult, a father, a rally and Subaru enthusiast I have admired Travis for his accomplishments and attitude for almost 30 years. He doesn’t have to swear or put on an act to be cool. He has a genuine attitude and an incredible amount of skill and focus and drive. He’s been my favorite athlete for most of my life and I really hope that someday I can meet him. What a great run, and a special thing to run up the mountain with those ashes.

    I feel bleesed that i had a chance to get to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and i went beacuse Travis and the Airslayer STI, i wanted to meet them so badly. Travis is an incredibly awesome, cool person! You felt that when he signed for you something or took a picture with you, he spent that few seconds, or that minute with you. Respect to him!

  • @lornecunningham326
    @lornecunningham326 2 года назад +2

    Been a massive Fan of Subaru, Colin McRae and Prodrive since 1993 and owned only Subaru for 19 years.
    I thought my passion for Subaru in Motorsport had died until David Higgins and Craig Drew joined VSC. Then my love for the name exploded again. But I didn’t think someone could replace Higgins and Drew after they left.
    But thankfully Travis was there again to keep my passion alive. And that my friend became more than just Power, Speed, Aero and the likes and all went out the window after you agreed to take Alec’s ashes up the Mountain.
    Massive respect to the Team, Travis organisers and Alec’s Family. That was amazing to watch 👏👏👏👏
    RIP Alec 🏆

    I was on the OTHER SIDE OF MOUNT WASHINGTON!!! The day this happened I was on vacation with my buddies to go hiking, and the day after we drove the mountain road and I took pictures with the Subaru trailers. I MISSED HISTORY! I took this as a sign in my life that im close to my goal to be as close to Subaru motorsports as possible. If anyone at Subaru reads this, I would've been there. I swear I didn't mean to miss this 💔 CONGRATS TRAVIS! This was huge huge huge!!

Thank you for the memorial for Paul Giblin. Not many people knew of him as he enjoyed staying behind the scenes... if it weren't for Paul, the Mt Washington Hillclimb might have never come back years ago. The amount of organization and planning that goes into this one event is mind boggling. See you guys soon!

    I can sympathize with Alecs father, Travis and the team are amazing people. My BIL was going through cancer treatment the winter prior to this event. They stopped to watch Travis do some practices. Travis got word of my BILs situation and he made it a priority to go and visit him in his home later that day. It truely made his day at a low point in his life. Two weeks before Mt Washington, my BIL passed away. I wanted to thank Travis for stopping in and visiting him and my sister, but didnt get the chance to since we were on the Mt that day and didnt have time to stop by the pits. I know it was a special moment for them.
