Video Description from YouTube:

It’s the final rally of the 2025 American Rally Association Championship, and Travis Pastrana and co-driver Rhianon Gelsomino face their toughest test yet in the Subaru Motorsports USA Limited 4WD WRX. Leading a rally brings its own challenges. The focus shifts from what needs to go right to everything that could go wrong. While Pastrana has led many rallies throughout his career, this one feels different. In the Limited car, the pressure isn’t just to win — it’s to prove the concept.

As the team returns to the shop and attention turns toward 2026, there are more questions than answers. With four championships under his belt, Brandon Semenuk and Keaton Williams are looking for the next progression in their career. That leaves an Open Class seat available…or does it? The story of 2026 is just over the next crest — and Subaru isn’t lifting.

Next week on Launch Control: The 3-part behind-the-scenes Road to Gymkhana series begins – Aussie Shred edition.
