Subaru Vs The Oregon Trail

admin — Thu, 19 May 2011 14:14:36 +0000

One can see why Subaru Rally Team USA, starring ace drivers David Higgins and Craig Drew, is such a massive draw. The duo recently took home one of many awards – first place at the Oregon Trail Rally, round 4 of 2011′s Rally America Championship.

Oregon Trail is Higgins’ second consecutive victory of the season. Only two weeks ago, he took home the gold for Team Subaru at the Olympus Rally in Washington State. Higgins now holds the most points towards an overall Championship for the team.

Subaru’s Canadian and other USA teams did not fare so well. Both were taken out of earlier runs of this event due to rough weather and crashes. All team members were uninjured after these separate incidents.

“The Oregon Trail Rally began Friday at the Portland International Raceway before moving to the scenic farmlands for days two and three. Oregon Trail began as a dry and dusty rally, but was consumed by heavy rains and thunderstorms during the middle of day two. The inclement weather forced event organizers to cancel the last two stages of day two and shorten some of day three’s stages.”

Subaru Honors Colin McRae

Last year, Rally driver Colin McRae died tragically with his son in a helicopter accident. In honor of his life and remembering the excitement and enthusiasm he brought to the sport of Rally racing, 1,100 Subaru vehicles gathered in McRae’s homeland of Scotland to travel for 9 hours. Fans and racing enthusiasts cheered and applauded along the way. The following morning, 1,086 Subaru’s (led by Colin McRae’s original 1996 Impreza rally car) formed a half-mile long sign spelling out “Colin McRae” with a Scottish flag to cap it all off. The event broke two Guinness World Records – for the largest sign made out of cars, and for the largest parade of automobiles.
