Watch all episodes of Launch Control here: • Launch Control
With an unbroken string of podium finishes, Subaru Rally Team USA has lead the Rally America championship for the majority of the season. However, with the competition stepping up their game and only two events remaining, the points gap has tightened. Hanging dust, power steering failure, and injuries to David Higgins at the penultimate event have put the Subaru team into damage control. Their ability to finish the event is now in question, but with bandages and ice David Higgins refuses to give up valuable championship points and finishes the Ojibwe Rally. The final rally will be a winner-take-all battle royale.
Houghton, Michigan. Home of the Lake Superior Performance Rally - the final and deciding round of the twenty-thirteen Rally-America Championship. This is the closest championship race in years, and both sides have claimed their intention to win.
The air of calm confidence and smiles is just a mask hiding the intense emotion and pressure these teams are facing. Ken Block and Ford must win to take the championship. Higgins and Subaru need to get in their way.
As the cars arrive at the start of the first stage, the usual friendly banter and socializing is gone. The teams stick to themselves and focus on the task at hand.
The speed is immense and the two teams trade seconds back and forth all weekend. Higgins and Drew in the Subaru dominate on the night stages to take an overnight lead, putting the pressure on Block to chase on Day 2. One team will end up finishing the rally, the other does not.
It's a fight to the final hours of the 2013 championship season. Will Subaru Rally Team USA receive a trophy or a handshake?
This is everything it takes to win. This is everything that gets in the way of victory. This is launch control.

This show is fantastic! Can't believe I just found it now! Please continue next season. - A fellow Subaru enthusiast.
Subaru really knocked it out of the park with this series.
What a pure and hidden gem in RUclips. Great job guys, really.
This is the best web show i've seen period! Please please please keep up the good work. Can't wait to see Launch Control season 2!
Best RUclips series I have ever watched... I was on the edge of my seat the whole time ... and right when Higgins took the corner wide and block got lost .. I was actually soo impressed. I love Subaru, Thank you for Launch control!
It's perfect. I don't see how you guys can make it even more perfect than it already is. Thank you very much. Hope to see Launch Control V2.0 soon! From a guy driving a 2003 Forester XT.
Subaru needs to make a Vermont SportsCar special edition STi! Would be amazing!
It would cost about $500,000
it doesn't have to be that much tho :')
Congratulations Subaru Rally Team! You guys are great. My first car was a '93 Legacy and from then on I was hooked. Since then I have owned only subi's. A year ago I graduated from the University of Washington, where I would make trips to attended both the Olympus Rally and the Oregon Trail Rally to support you guys, and moved to Hawaii for a graduates degree. It hurts that I cant go see you guys race anymore but this series of videos has been so great at giving me my subaru rally fix here in HI
The brakes are glowing at 13:08...awesomeness. Great series, cant wait for next year.
Best motorsport Web series, hands down. Please come back in 2014!
What a fabulous insight into a racing team and a championship season. I've never seen a series quite like this, but thanks to youtube, johnny-come-latelies like me can still catch on. Chapeaux to Formula Photographic and Subaru for providing the wherewithal to make this happen. Five stars.
Wow! Intense! Held my breath a few times without noticing because of how focused this entire series had me. can't get enough
Thank you for making this series. Seriously the greatest series, even if I didn't own a Subaru I can imagine anyone and everyone loved this with a passion. PLEASE bring it back next year. Congrats to Subaru for placing 1st, made me a proud Subaru owner! :D
Very amazing series from beginning to end. Such a pleasure to see all the hardwork that goes on behind the scenes with the crew, and its cool to see how humble the drivers are when it comes to the glory. Great win for the rally team, and its nice to see the GRC teams getting better and better.
Everything about this series is a win!! Better production than some TV shows, well done!
Congrats on the Championship for the third year in a row! Please bring this show back next year. Go Subaru!!
Make this an annual series! This series is freakishly awesome
This was an amazing series from start to finish. Thank you for putting all this footage together and making rally in North America worth watching and caring about. I really hope we'll see more of this in the future!
Its the best motorsport series this year! hope it will return next year!
and congrats for everyone involve here!
Greatest web series EVER !!! Congrats to every members of Subau rally teams !! I'm proud more than ever to drive a Subie (Forester XT ''STi'') !! I hope you'll continue this fantabulous series nex season !!
Congratulations to Team Subaru and Vermont Sports Car on a great season and a third consecutive championship! I have enjoyed every installment of Launch Control and I hope that it will be back for the next rally season!
Outstanding show. Absolutely outstanding. Excellent exposure for Subaru, excellent exposure for rally and rallycross in North America. It was an amazing ride watching Higgins and Drew fight it out with Block while we saw Mirra, Lasek and Isachsen grow and develop in GRC. Next year, with the Subaru Rallycross team maturing, as well as up-and-comings like Joni Wiman potentially taking to the grid, is going to be VERY interesting to watch, and I hope Launch Control will be there.
Launch Control 2.0 in 2014!! Yes please!! I make all my rally friends watch the series by sharing it on facebook. LOL
Congrats to Higgins and the USA Subaru team. Hope Travis can bring some more wins...and for God's sake get back in WRC Subaru. You have the cats and the talent but don't invest in the big show..wtf?
Respect to Ken Block & the Subaru Team.
Hell yeah! Thank you for an entertaining series! I'm proud to drive a WRX.
Congrats to the team and awesome web series. This episode reminds of the video Subaru put out in 1995 after winning Drivers and Manufacturer's titles. Good times again!!!
Aaa this was an amazing series. Place bring it back next year!!
Awesome fight til the end. Can't wait til watch next year's series. I'm so proud to drive a Subaru, my bugeye is my world. It's the last car my dad helped me wrench on before he passed away last year, and someday I hope to wrench on it with my kid it's one car that I will never sell or trade...VERMONT RACING CONGRATS and GODSPEED!!!
