If you're like us, you love rally. You might even have spent last weekend driving a Neon through a bunch of dirt and cones until its brakes failed. And you might be interested in Subaru's new web series "Launch Control," set to cover the company's rally efforts with Subaru Rally Team USA and Subaru PUMA RallyCross.
The first episode, above, sees David Higgins, the defending Rally America champion, in training near his home in Wales. The team at Vermont Sports Car works to prep the car as Higgins hones his edge, and both look forward to the season ahead.
In upcoming episodes, Launch Control will follow the struggles and successes of the 2013 season in both Rally America and Global RallyCross competition.

Subaru was a sponsor of this year's Philadelphia Flower Show! At last month's event, the brand joined the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society in celebration of world cultures with the "Passport to the World" theme.
In honor of Floral Friday, here's a glimpse of Subaru's display, which showcased Japan's horticulture and architecture!
Subaru has been telling us for a while that the next-generation WRX will not be just a hopped up Impreza, and it used the 2013 New York Auto Show to give us our first glimpse of this with the WRX Concept.
While we've spied the next-generation Subaru WRX undergoing testing, the WRX Concept gives us an idea of what the design of this future sports car will look like.
During the New York Auto Show Subaru's General Manager of Design Osamu Namba took a moment to talk about the design of the WRX Concept.
Namba specifically notes the bold front end featuring Subaru's traditional hexagon grille and new hawk-eye headlights. He also noted the flared front and rear wheel arches which help define the WRX, and we personally think these give the concept a planted, aggressive stance.
We weren't sure when we saw the concept if the 20-inch alloy wheels would make it to production, but during the video Namba makes a point to mention how the concept's wheels play a pivotal role in hinting how the vehicle's been designed.
Enthusiasts may not like hearing it, but we were told at the auto show that the next-generation WRX will likely be a bit more biased toward on-road-only performance than the current WRX. This is because Subaru has backed away from the global rally stage.
While this concept is likely longer, wider, and dramatic than the production car will be, we can't help but be excited about the next-generation WRX.
