STI - rallying successat all levelsSubaru and its motorsport division STI have a rich and successful heritage in international rallying, particularly in the production category.

Subaru Impreza rally cars have won six FIA Production Car World Rally Championship titles in the last decade alone and the Japanese manufacturer has won 47 world rallies outright, as well as three world drivers’ titles and three world manufacturers’ crowns since 1995.

Rallying has been at the heart of the STI brand for close to 25 years and joining forces with JRM has allowed Subaru’s performance division to record even more success in various territories, particularly Europe.

It’s worth noting that JRM’s 2014 Subaru WRX STI production rally car led every round of the FIA European Rally Championship that it entered and set a number of fastest stage times along the way.
