“Launch Control” Starts Ninth Season

Motorsports are deep in Subaru’s DNA. Our Motorsports division is one full of pride in pushing the boundaries of the vehicles we sell today.

To celebrate our motorsports endeavors, Subaru Motorsports USA has released the ninth season of the award-winning Launch Control documentary series on YouTube and Amazon Prime Video. Since 2013, the series has given fans an inside look at America’s top rally and rallycross program with 2021 offering a racing season unlike any other.

Season nine documents the long road of redemption for Subaru and technical partner Vermont SportsCar. After the 2020 season, a year in which there were no in-person rallycross events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team fell short to retain the U.S. stage rally championship for the first time in nearly a decade.

For 2021, the mission was audacious: return to the top of American rallying by winning the ARA driver’s title, capture Subaru Motorsports USA’s first-ever rallycross driver’s championship, repeat as rallycross team champions, setting a new benchmark at the Mt. Washington Hillclimb with the 862-horsepower Airslayer STI from Gymkhana 2020.

Subaru’s “Launch Control” season’s first episode starts off at the American Rally Association (ARA) 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.
