You ever notice how even when Travis is pumped out of his mind on a win, he always says "we" did it. "We" won. What a great dude. Love that guy

Travis is a Legend man! No doubt!

Man Travis’s face after the race really says it all, that man is genuinely upset that he took away Scott’s opportunity to hold the trophy over his head. I mean my god that level of humility is so admirable, what a competitor and what a man

This show is in part of the reason I am a Subaru owner, I've been watching for years. And I'm glad to be apart of this wonderful community

It may sound weird, but if I were in Scott's shoes, after seeing how Travis reacted to what went down..... That would prove to me that this is the guy I want as my teammate. Racing happens. Travis proved that he takes teamwork super seriously. Hes never an every man for himself kind of racer.

Yeah, I had to pause playback and find the original broadcast to watch turn 1 a few dozen times just to make sense of Scott's reaction. I assume he knew there had to be another car between him and Travis for him to win the championship, so was he waiting for a penalty? If there was one, all teams involved would have known before the race was over. We also have to consider that Scott intentionally took turn 1 slow and wide not just to force Timmy wide, but to mix things up behind him and possibly, and subtly, give one of the Hansens a chance to get between he and Travis. However, seeing Travis win the series he created himself would surly turn many competitors sour. We all know that kid in the playground who makes up games he knows no one else but him can win.

@@GARBO96 Yes, I know that was team strategy, but I'm just playing devil's advocate here. It's really hard to predict what will happen when driver's don't just stick to the racing line and drive flat out. It puts them in places on the track that drivers behind cannot predict. Even the approach to this turn is weird in that you'd think two cars would just stay on the pavement, but there is dirt on the inside that is fair game, so there's a lot of different line choices. Overall, I agree that it's just a "racing incident" and thankfully no cars were taken out of the race from the impact and Scott had the rest of the race to play catch-up and couldn't get ahead of Timmy.

Travis is such an amazing person. To put aside his victory to make sure Scott got the recognition he deserved and even apologizing for it, even when mostly out of his control. These guys make this amazing motorsport even better. Amazing job Subaru team im so happy for everyone!

@@peejay1981 The Hansen's played their cards well. Front row knew he was going to get ran wide by Scott. He's done it all weekend (as he should, best strategy for inside position). Second row Hansen knew he had to squeeze Travis tight and hope for a mistake. Otherwise the Hansen's leave turn 1 in 3rd and 4th. Their plan worked.

Love this series. My WRX turns 20 this year, and it's still a joy to get in and go. Hated to see the title decided like that, but Travis wasn't at fault. It's clear that was Scott's in the moment reaction, and he's rightly upset having done what he needed to do, but it was a miracle that Travis got his car sideways at all or it would have taken both of them out. Also, I feel like Scott, once he has some separation from that race will reflect on just how amazing his comeback was. He was broken, done, no ride, wasn't even sure he'd ever race again. He came back, won races and tied on points for a championship. That's flat out amazing, and if there is anyone that understands what that's like, it's his teammate. As for Travis, as someone that's watched him since he was a teenager that crashed and broke basically everything, only to heal and go on to define Action Sports from nothing to where it is now - seeing him win Championships in Rally - where you knew he could if he managed to restrain himself just enough - to RallyCross, something he helped define and showcase, it was a joy to watch. The maturity, generosity and more than ever humility he's displayed on top of the determination and focus towards his racecraft are inspiring.

I want to thank Subaru for creating this series and putting it online. I look forward to watching these every year.

Damn I wish I could of seen Colin McRae to savage these vehicles been a fan of Subaru since I was 3yrs old. I’ll always remember seeing the L555 BAT Subaru at wales back in the naughties. Not finished the video yet. Let’s go Subaru!!

Fantastic season for VSC, Subaru, and everyone behind the making of Launch Control. What a great Season Finale! I've followed these guys for a long time now... ever since I saw that 199 car hanging from the ceiling for the first time in Spare Time next to the OG VT Sportscar site.

Getting serious Ford v. Ferrari vibes off this video. Man, just, so much mixed emotion. Thank you so much to the production team all these years for delivering world class coontent on KZread. As a fan, this means a whole lot. What Smith said, about how LC captures the emotions of what you guys are feeling, it just. I means a whole lot, watching these. SU-BA-RU!!

What an amazing finale! We could see the disappointment in Travis’s face with that accidental contact. He’s a true competitor and a true icon of the sport of rally racing. Can’t help but feel bad for Scott Speed but they know all too well that this happens all the time in rally racing… glad they were able to bounce back an get the championship for team Subaru! Great show !

I’ve always been a huge Subaru fan. From way back in 1993 when I first found out about Rallying. I owned Subaru’s for 19 consecutive years due to this and collected memorabilia and models of the cars. My passion was McRae and Prodrive and was disappointed when that era ended. But….. then I found Higgins and Drew and Vermont sport cars and the spark was ignited again. I’ve watched you guys for years in Launch Control as I stay in the UK, and every episode brings excitement, passion and emotion like it did for me all those years ago. Now with the Team you guys have now with Travis, Speed and the likes you guys are unstoppable. Thanks guys, you guys have came and Conquered and stamped your mark once again with Subaru, Vermont Sports Cars and all the team. MASSIVE RESPECT 👏👏👏

Another great season! Massive thanks to VSC and Bowes Media for bringing this to us. I know it was a massive stretch this year but we can't thank you enough!.

Travis is such a legend! very few people like him in this world.

32:06 good to see continued rally program on new body. When STi did not make it to the market, I was fearing if rally program would continue. hope to see you next year with launch control with new car! Awesome VSC Team.

MASSIVE respect for Scott Speed. Such a legend. I would love to see him do a hill climb as well. Travis... what a character. Such passion.

I feel for Scott. But happy for Travis. Either way they both are champions. Only one win deciding it, shows they both have the same skill. Congratulations Travis, Scott and all the team in the garage. Great work. And congratulations to Subaru
