Launch Control: Down Under and Out - Episode 12.4

[@matthewguilford9340]

I'll be that guy, we all love Travis and we want him healthy! He's the last of the wild of my generation, we love you Travis

[@nathanwilliams3839]

I second this

[@Christosan88]

The photo of him with Ken and Colin I call it "Los Tres Rejes de Rally"

[@andrewm5840]

I love the idea of a rally vacation! Love the longer episodes and Andrew narrating.

[@jeleyman]

MAD EFFING RESPECT to Travis for his decision to prioritize his health and his family. Living literally on the edge is not the only way to live a life of value.

[@BlindstuffMTB]

❤ Launch Control. The quality of season 12 has been unreal!

[@Subaru]

We had to make the comeback something special!

[@DMStraylight]

18:23-19:49 might be the best bit of editing in this show's history. The pace, the rhythm, the groove in the soundtrack... perfect. Huge props to whoever stitched that one together.

[@MilesJones-l7f]

Travis owes all his fans nothing. I'm glad to see him put his family and his health first.

[@Jmherbert7]

The montage at the 20min mark was pretty epic. It showed the fun spirit of rally.

[@jarmiusbowman5533]

I love launch control.❤

[@savagegtalks5912]

Semenuk is a beast! so fun to see him toy with a car like that^^ it's what they say "can happen to the best", good to see the boys ok

[@Idrivthetrain]

Honestly this has been and will always be the most epic thing he has ever done ! I truly respect him for realizing what it really is all about ❤ thank you Mr Pastrana.

[@3ddrew691]

I have been watching Travis since his late teens, early 20's. I was a teenager back then and he has inspired me to get into cars and enjoy driving on all kinds of roads. He's a huge influence to so many people around the world. I don't care what he does as long as he is still doing what he loves, I will hopefully one day get to meet him.

[@metropolis10]

Great episode, and loved Rhianon in this one! Looking forward to the next ep!

[@uvkjc]

I am really happy for Travis. The man has had an unmatched career. Your 10 year old girl needs you now. You are right, you only have one shot at this. Show her what kind of champion you really are.

[@wrex50th41]

Thank you for everything Travis! Safe travels my friend. Best wishes for you and your family!

[@clappedoutsubie920]

Looked up to Travis for so many things. The best thing he's ever done is say he doesn't want to mess up by losing time w his girls. Guy never ceases to amaze us all.

[@PNWSubaruAdventures]

I'm very thankful i got to see him drive at OTR! id rather not loose anymore hero's. Live Long And Prosper Travis!

[@Ofthe7thSon]

I absolutely applaud TP199 for prioritising his family over everything else - they are ALL that matters in the end.

[@koozmusic]

I'm so glad the old Launch Control format is back! What a bittersweet season so far, though. I feel bad for Travis... you can tell it really hurts him to have lost his mojo, but his decision to step back and recover both physically and mentally is completely understandable. Whether he bounces back or chooses to retire, he's an absolute LEGEND!

[@DearHalo_lover]

Every time you guys drop this, I've got something good to watch while eating my dinner, lovely stuff guys!

[@jaypov4]

brandon is certainly in the right car to have fun

[@shaneluben]

I swear this season of Launch Control is making me tear up so bad no lie!!!!! It's been hard listening to Travis reflect on a lot of things. 😢😢😢 especially the loss of his buddy and Rival Ken!!!!!

[@ozzysgarage]

Happy Wednesday gang!!!! 💙💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jcfan1979]

Travis you owe no one anything and have nothing to prove. We fans are 100% behind you and only want the best for you and your family!

[@lornecunningham326]

We’re all behind you Travis 🫶

[@Soobas]

these are so good bruh its amazing to me that they get so few views

[@bowesmediainc8767]

We’re with you

[@TheLiberatedMonkey]

I had no idea how extensive Travis’s extracurricular stunts were. I always thought he was driver. He’s WILD!

[@KieranSmit]

Treat yourself - go watch 199 Lives

[@Idrivthetrain]

With all due respect but, Do you live under a rock ? 😂😂😂

[@koozmusic]

@@KieranSmit Yes, that, and ALL of Nitro Circus!

[@MarkTisdelJr]

Love this! Great video!

[@justinc5356]

Wow wow wow…. Right in the feels ❤

[@dodgeman1997]

Just sorry to see Travis leave it, have always loved watching him. Last of the guys I've watched growing up

[@daleyneblett1509]

WHY does this Chanel NOT have over 1M Subz????!!! C'mon.....

[@Subaru]

That's what we're saying

[@statesidegarage]

So much to unpack in this episode!! 🤯 Amazing production as always! 🙏 16:59 👀 @JDMRightHandDrive Travis = 100000% understand the choice and mindset. Health and family over EVERYTHING in life. No matter who you are.

[@karlheinzkupper9666]

love this series

[@juicygaming5544]

Gotta say I really enjoy this video

[@markmolloy3558]

Travis your are Subaru brother . Take your time you are the man❤

[@snowysysadmin59]

Family first over anything is all it is. I respect travis for that. anyone remember his first double backflip on a bike at the xgames? I remember seeing that live. That was 2011. I was.....14 at the time. and seeing that and how many people thought he was going to die, he cant do it, thats impossible, you dont have enough time in the air etc etc etc. but he pulled it off like nothing and that was a big inspiration to me. "dont let others tell you what you want cant do, just do it". I hope he has a good break from all the craziness, dude deserves it.

[@sylvaire.sillies]

SUBARU I LOVE YOU AND THIS SERIES

[@jaypov4]

love all you guys health is number one

[@UnnamedBrand]

Would love to see one of the Vermont cars in New Zealand

[@johngrant1337]

good video ,thanks

[@slosubies4845]

What Travis was going through reminded me of when Kevin Schwantz retired from FIM racing. Not only were his injuries catching up with him, but Wayne Rainey's crash that left him paralyzed from the waist down also shook Schwantz, and he retired altogether after realizing he could no longer be competitive. It happens to the best of us. Travis has already done more than most people will do in a lifetime. I'm hoping he makes decisions that keep him around to see his girls grow up. He will always have fans, no matter what he does.

[@drumbumm47]

Travis owes me everything

[@nyjhl]

can't wait for the midnight wrx >:D

[@TheGammingPie]

Travis made the absolute RIGHT call! He heeded to rest... and when i found out Ken Passed I couldn't believe it. this Episode is such a bummer... :C

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

Glad to see the kid 100% commit, IF you can run a pace that makes.... Travis Pastrana ......back off. You got it kid.

[@snailze6761]

43 FOREVER!

[@rinalkurniawan5685]

Next step WRC Brandon

[@urbanstrencan]

Subaru please come back to WRC ;)

[@BushidoPhoto]

Travis, we understand. No need to kill yourself for your fans. Get well and even if you never return to rally, you are the man!

[@greenfefo_fpv465]

Who was the drone pilot for the Olympus Rally??!!!! Excellent shots what a dream!

[@ほりっち-p5m]

SUBARU🇯🇵🗾✨🇺🇸

[@toddfranco7194]

Love❤✨

[@djevans614]

This was a good episode, very sad for Travis and his health issues. We all wanna see u in a car with ur hair on fire. Get well soon. But overall this was a good episode, that kiwi rally looks rad, you have featured it in past seasons and every time it looks really fun. New announcer guy, doing better. Let us hear u get excited sometimes, when appropriate. We r excited watching, so it's good when u are too.

[@AndrewColey]

Thanks mate. I get direction on what the guys want in terms of emotion in the read, the style etc. I trust the producers 😊 (if you’ve heard me announcing rallycross you’ll probably know I get quite excited) 😂

[@djevans614]

@AndrewColey yea!! I thought I knew u.. I've definitely heard u get excited. Do that sometimes.

[@PopsDadd38]

Wish travis the best... Want him to do everything that makes him happy an makes him feel complete and whole family wise and spirit an life wise... Brandon on the other hand has got to stop taking himself so seriously an have a little fun an get a little loose... Seems he takes himself a little too serious especially when it's a "rally vacation" ha but gotta love em he's a racer at heart

[@SirIsaacNewtonOfficial]

I see Launch Control. I Click Notification. I like and Watch.. just a simple man doing work from the computer today. And this is what I needed.

[@CM-tc6pp]

Its funny to me that some people in these comments had no idea what travis was doing before his rallyx/driving career🤣 Like really, this is the tame version of Travis you should see what he was doing on a Motocross bike.

[@3ddrew691]

I miss my old 05 2.5rs. This car makes looks like it drives about the same lol

[@F.F.N_CUZ-E]

How's that bud Nz the best by far Churr churr mean Maori mean.. .Home of the Long white clouds.. .

[@jowaynewatson2941]

Now that the wrc regulations have been updated .will subaru go back to wrc?

[@Christosan88]

I missed Travis at the Olympus Rally 2024. Lets see what Scott Speed can do in a rally car

[@miketran6453]

Anyone know the song at 20:15?

Time to come to realization, this isnt Msport.

[@theblackmambaplague]

Todays my birthday 🥳

[@2004Banshee]

Subaru should get kris meeke in one of them cars

[@TitanGuy22]

The guy from Vermont Sports Car seems very ungrateful for what Pastrana has done for the sport. Travis and Ken put rally and Subaru on the map here in the states. Vermont Sports Car wouldn't exist if it weren't for those guys.

[@Barry.ONeill]

I love him but Travis really was an Idiot for doing that base jumb it didnt add to the Gymkana video and car people couldn't give one f about base or sky jumping 🤦‍♂️ i remember thinking why 😶

[@mitchelmarvin8040]

It's weird to see Americans try a European sport 🤣

[@bunkerandthebrain7771]

I feel like Subaru is slowly leaving Rally. I hope it's not true. The cars don't seem to reflect the rally heritage.

[@Dakyne2]

You need to see a doctor.

[@bunkerandthebrain7771]

@@Dakyne2 Not questioning that. I appreciate your opinion, but what makes you to say otherwise?

[@lemieuxjoshua3]

First

[@lemieuxjoshua3]

Also I should bring my car to one at some point

[@mariano7699]

Horrible video editing

[@FastFrank1408]

Travis sucks. Fire him. Hire me

[@austinogg]

Thanks again for putting in Ken🥰🥹

[@wilbertmelvern3812]

Rip ken block

[@johntomlin803]

I grew up racing dirt bikes so I’m extremely familiar with the type of environment rally cross offers. When you huddle with people on a big piece of land and we’re all camping and chasing after a win you do become family with those people. I didn’t even know Ken block but followed him for years on IG. I remember when they built the f150 with snow tracks I talked about that thing for 2-3 weeks. It’s really sad we lost such genuine guy, he reminded me of my dad. I saw countless pics of him and his kids and family at events and I always thought back to my life at that time. Truly a blessing to have someone so influential be apart of our generation, thank you Ken block for all you’ve done in the auto sports world.🫡
