Why Subaru’s number one is suddenly under title pressure

Halfway through 2024, you’d have got incredibly long odds on anything other than another Brandon Semenuk title win.

Even the return of Subaru Motorsports USA team-mate Travis Pastrana did nothing to destabilize the dominant Canadian, who after April’s Olympus Rally had won 12 American Rally Association National events on the bounce.

But after a second DNF in three starts, and a first win in three years for Pastrana at last weekend’s Ojibwe Forests Rally, suddenly things are looking far less rosy for Semenuk and co-driver Keaton Williams.
