The race came down to a duel between Subaru USA and the Hoonigan Racing team of Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino as an overall win in this race would have put either team in first place points-wise and clinched the coveted title.
Higgins and Subaru took the lead on day one with a 13.4-second lead. The next day Hoonigan’s driver Ken Block rolled his car, clinching the deal for Subaru.
“The pace Block and I were both going made it entirely possible to happen to any one of us,” Higgins said. “It was the fastest that we have ever gone.”
This title marks the third straight championship for Higgins and fourth overall. Las year, Higgins clinched the championship at the New England Forest Rally and did the exact same thing in 2011.
The 2013 Lake Superior Performance Rally was a huge day for Subaru. Not only did the automaker clinch the Overall and Super Production Manufacturer’s Championship titles, but all three vehicles on the podium were Subaru WRX STI’s.
