Subaru of
America announced their long-term plan to participate in the RedBull Global
Rallycross Championship with their official Rally Team.
Subaru Rally
Team USA, managed jointly by STI and Vermont SportsCar technical partner, will
attend at least eight rounds of the 2016 GRC series while increasing at the
same time testing and development of their WRX STI GRC Supercar.
The company’s
racing program targets both the Driver’s and Manufacturer’s titles in the 2017
Championship, with team drivers Bucky Lasek and Sverre Isachsen sitting behind
the wheel. Long-time Subaru driver David Higgins will increase his efforts as
lead test driver with the team.
Subaru will
join the grid at the Dallas round in June 3 at Texas with Sverre Isachsen, with
both drivers attending the Base round held July 2-3.
The Global
Rallycross racing series is gaining more and more traction as it combines the
best of circuit, off-road and rally racing, with its events known for the
intense competition and its impressive 600 hp rally cars.
