Subaru Rally Team USA's David Higgins and Craig Drew have piloted their white #1 Subaru STI to second place at the 2012 Olympus Rally outside of Olympia, WA. Dangerously dry conditions and still air resulted in heavy, lingering dust. During Saturday's nighttime stages, the poor visibility was compounded by driving lights such that racers couldn't see the road at all in some sections. "We had an off going literally six miles per hour," Craig Drew recalled. "I knew we were coming to junctions when I saw the marshals' vests reflecting our headlights, and then it was brake, brake, brake!," said Higgins. Maintaining their determination, the duo drove hard the following morning. Though 20 miles was not enough to make up for lost time, Higgins and Drew won Sunday's single stage by nearly sixteen seconds. David and Craig doused their #1 Subaru STI in champagne at the podium and celebrated a fantastic rally season. At the year-end awards ceremony in Olympia, the champions David Higgins and Craig Drew accepted the 2012 Rally America National Championship trophy on behalf of Subaru Rally Team USA.
