Subaru steps on the gas for the

Subaru Canada, Inc. has launched a new, broad-ranging
incentive and support program for Subaru competitors,
their immediate families and event staff at Targa, one
of three internationally recognized motorsports events
in the world. Subaru Canada has supported the Targa
Newfoundland international rally since its inception in
2002. The upcoming event takes place from September
14-19, 2014. The 13th annual rally will cover more than 2,000
kilometres of challenging, twisty roads on the eastern
portion of Newfoundland, including up to 500 kilometres
of closed-road, flat-out Targa stages.
For eligible participants, Subaru Canada’s support
program includes a $750 rebate on the purchase or lease
of a new Subaru for immediate family members or Targa
Newfoundland event staff, as well as a $500 Entrant award
for participants using any model of Subaru and competing
in any of the four categories (Open, Modern, Classic,
Grand Touring). In addition, we will offer a $2,000 cash

performance award for Subaru entrants placing first in any
of the four categories, a $1,500 award for second place and
a $1,000 award for placing third.
In this first-time move, Subaru Canada has initiated an
incentive offer with its rebate program that also includes
the competitors’ families and the event’s volunteer staff.
“We are extremely pleased that Subaru Canada has
recognized Targa, its competitors and volunteers,” said organizer
Robert Giannou. “We are especially appreciative of the way the
new Subaru Targa support program includes our event staff as
they work so hard to make the it happen each year.”
“Subaru Canada has been a long-time supporter of Targa
Newfoundland,” said “We’re very excited to make this offer
said Brian Hyland, Director, After Sales for Subaru Canada.
“We’re very excited to make this offer available to Subaru
participants competing in the 2014 Targa Newfoundland.
We wish all participants good luck and safe driving in the
upcoming event.”
