Subaru PUMA RallyCross Team USA has earned its first podium finish of the season at Global RallyCross round 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sverre Isachsen put on a fantastic show starting with his first heat race and carried his momentum through the A MAIN. The #11 Subaru STI performed flawlessly, with the viking warrior at the controls, and battled its way through a heat of ten cars to a third place finish. Subaru PUMA RallyCross Team USA and Sverre Isachsen are thrilled with the results and are looking forward to the final round of the 2012 GRC series back in Vegas at the end of October.
Subaru PUMA RallyCross Team USA has set up shop at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, just fifteen miles from the strip. The hot desert sun was quick to rise as practice got underway on the Global RallyCross (GRC) course. After an initial course-familiarization session, teams got a crack at the jump. The GRC-spec Subaru STIs flew effortlessly over the gap and returned to service unscathed, where Subaru PUMA RallyCross Team USA techs went to work making final preparations for Saturday's race.
Subaru Rally Team USA and Subaru PUMA RallyCross Team are preparing for a western tour with two different
events. The Olympus Rally which has traditionally run in the spring was moved to the fall and will utilize new roads
not seen in many years. With David Higgins and Craig Drew having already secured the 2012 Rally America Championship
Title the pressure is off and Higgins will surely show off what his 2012 Subaru WRX STI is capable of! The rally is
centered around the town of Shelton, Washington about an hour from Seattle and takes place Sept 22-23.
