Subaru Launch Control season 7 episode 12, "Back Against the Wall," follows the Subaru Rally Team USA as they face their toughest challenge yet in the 2020 American Rally Association Championship. With just one event left in the season, the team is down to their last chance to clinch the championship title.
Driver Scott Speed and co-driver Chris Dymond are in second place, trailing by just a few points. They must win this final event and hope that their closest competitor finishes fourth or worse in order to take home the championship trophy. As they prepare for the race, the pressure is on and the tension is high.
The event takes place in the mountains of New England, where the slippery and unpredictable terrain will push both the cars and the drivers to their limits. The team spends days scouting the course and making notes about every bump, turn, and obstacle they'll face. They also work to fine-tune the setup of their Subaru WRX STI rally car, making adjustments to the suspension, brakes, and aerodynamics.
On race day, the team must deal with unexpected challenges, including a malfunctioning intercom system that leaves Speed and Dymond unable to communicate with each other during the race. They must rely on hand signals and nonverbal cues to navigate the course and make split-second decisions.
Meanwhile, their competitors are also fighting for the championship title, and the race is neck-and-neck from start to finish. The Subaru Rally Team USA must push their car to the limit and take calculated risks in order to stay in contention.
The episode is full of heart-pumping action as the team battles through hairpin turns, tight corners, and treacherous jumps. Viewers will see both the triumphs and the setbacks of the team as they face a seemingly insurmountable challenge. But despite the odds, the Subaru Rally Team USA remains focused and determined, giving it their all until the very end.
In the end, viewers will be left on the edge of their seats as they wait to see whether the team's efforts will be enough to secure the championship title, or whether they'll come up just short. "Back Against the Wall" is a thrilling conclusion to an exciting season of Subaru Launch Control, and a must-watch for any fans of high-speed, high-stakes racing.
