Launch Control: The Rebound - Episode 9.1

Subaru Motorsports USA opens the 2021 rally season against tough competition at Sno*Drift Rally. The ice and snow-covered roads around Atlanta, Michigan give Travis Pastrana and Brandon Semenuk their first look at the tight championship battle to come.

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 YouTube. 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.

Hearing how relaxed Travis is while he's driving is incredible. 3 inches from absolute disaster... "We're slowing, slowing, slowing, slowing, slowing... and we're fine." "Uh oh, this is gonna hurt... nope, all good WOOHOO THIS IS FUN!"

This series is what keeps me loving Subaru. I haven't owned one in a couple of years, but every time I see one thrust around a stage or course, I can't help but miss them. Big props to Formula Photographic and Bowes Media for such a high quality and compelling series.
