Subaru->ke86 Rally Team USA has been more than a fixture in the Rally America champion series; they've flat out dominated it in recent years. So it's not surprising that the team is returning for the 2013 season with enormous expectations of repeating their 2012 title-winning season.

This season, the duo of David Higgins and Craig Drew are set to unleash on Rally America anew and they've prepared the perfect steed, the 2013 Subaru WRX STI Rally Car, to help them do the job.

It certainly goes without saying that the championship will run through this team and if there are any challengers out there, they better expect nothing short of a competitive throw down against a team that has made a habit of scooping up Rally America titles in recent years.

And with the 2013 WRX STI Rally Car in the fold, the path to the championship will be much more difficult for the rest of the teams. We've been fans of Rally America since its inception in 2005 - yeah, back in the days when Travis Pastrana was behind Subaru's four-straight championships from 2006 through 2009 - and trust us, it's hard to bet against a team that has walked away with the title in seven of the eight years the series has been alive.
