Vermont SportsCar Subaru WRX STI

An undefeated season is a very rare thing in all sports, but in motorsport it may be even more difficult. Why is this? Simply because there are more variables to go wrong.

Mechanical failures or a crash can quickly sideline a car and that doesn’t even take into account the driver’s responsibility to drive well. Yes, winning every race for an entire series season for a single driver can be almost impossible. However, David Higgins has done just that driving for Subaru Rally Team USA in the Rally America National Championship.

The final victory to complete the perfect season was at the Lake Superior Performance Rally. David Higgins and co-driver Craig Drew managed to get another win to cap off an undefeated season in the rally series.

“It was heck of a long weekend,” Higgins said, at the podium celebration. “It is amazing to do what we have done, but you can only do it with a great team that we have. Craig (Drew) has been awesome as always and we have been on a good winning streak for a long time, but this one was special. Stages were in good condition and for us the big task was to bring it home.”

“The team’s result this season is simply impressive,” stated Rob Weir, Subaru Motorsports Marketing Manager. “They began the season with an all-new rally car, and despite adversity from the competition, mechanical setbacks, and Mother Nature, were able to claim the top of the podium at every round. We couldn’t ask for more from Higgins, Drew, and the entire staff at Vermont SportsCar this season.”

This is the first time since 1987 that a perfect season has been accomplished in U.S. rally racing. Congratulations to David Higgins, Craig Drew and Subaru Team USA on their amazing season.
