2011 PROGRAM UPDATE: Subaru, via Vermont SportsCar, Continues to Offer the Most Lucrative Rally Contingency Program in North America
Subaru of America, Inc. will continue their contingency program for the 2011 Rally America National Championship with no changes to the current program which saw expanded prize payouts implemented in 2010. The Subaru Rally Support Program, which was created in 2005, continues to be the most lucrative contingency program in North American rallying, with over $20,000.00 now available per event for Subaru drivers to earn. The program will again focus support on the popular Super Production class (SP) within the Rally America National Championship where the top finishing eligible Subaru SP driver will earn $7,000.00 at each round and with 2nd through 10th placed SP drivers receiving payouts as well.
Per Event Payout Schedule** 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th ? 10th
SP ? Plan ?A? $7,000 $4,000 $3,000 $2,500 $1,500 $500
The Super Production class was created in 2009 by Rally America to offer a compromise between the top-tier Open class and the more restrictive Production GT class. This new category provides a cost-effective means for models such as the Subaru Impreza platform-based WRX and STI to compete not only head-to-head with but also be capable of challenging the top of the leader board at any Rally America National Championship event. The class was hotly contested in 2009 and 2010 and Subaru hopes to attract even more new entrants to the sport and the SP class with substantial award payouts. Under the current program the top Subaru SP class finisher will earn $7000.00, more than double the $3,000.00 payout the program offered in 2009. Prize payouts in 2011 will be awarded to the top ten finishing Subaru SP class registrants.
One of the key attractions of the SP class for Subaru drivers is the allowance of several key modifications to Subaru Impreza WRX and STI model rally cars to make them more affordable and competitive to prepare and run as compared to meeting compliance for the PGT class. This includes but is not limited to: allowing vehicles to be updated or backdated within a body style of the model, fitting of hydraulic handbrakes, and granting broader brake system modifications. The SP class also features a larger turbo inlet restrictor than the PGT class, 34mm versus 32mm, positioning SP cars to potentially produce more power.
In addition to this continued support to SP class participants at Rally America National Championship events, Subaru of America Inc., will also offer a $200.00 ?start fund? to any class of Subaru entered in a Rally America Regional rally that runs concurrent to a national event weekend.
For more information about the Rally America?s Super Production class please refer to the Rally America rule book and rule bulletins found at http://rally-america.com/rules.php.
