"Subaru is preparing for a rally double-header this weekend as they send Subaru Rally Team USA (SRTUSA) to Maine to compete in the New England Forest Rally while Subaru PUMA RallyCross Team (SPRT) will head to nearby New Hampshire Motor Speedway for round four of the Global Rallycross Championship. The logistical challenge alleviated slightly by the fact that the tandem events both take place in the team’s backyard. Subaru’s technical partner Vermont SportsCar headquartered in Colchester, Vermont manages both teams.
Subaru Rally Team USA driver David Higgins, the defending Rally America Champion, aims to clinch the 2012 Rally America National Championship in Maine at New England Forest Rally. Higgins has had a phenomenal season thus far earning two wins and two second place finishes from four rounds. Higgins can secure the championship with a just a sixth place or better finish this weekend and still has the sixth and final round of the championship to run in September. Higgins won this event in 2003, but the route is vastly different this year meaning past experience will be less of a factor. The New England Forest Rally features nearly 100 miles of technical gravel forest roads that run along the Maine-New Hampshire border. The event starts Friday July 13 at 9am and is headquartered at the popular Sunday River Ski Resort in Newry, Maine." [Read more]
