SUBARU 360° SUBARU BOOSTS SUPPORT FOR CANADIAN RALLY PARTICIPANTS In advance of the 62nd season of the Canadian Rally Championship (CRC), Subaru Canada has announced its strongest contingency and rally purchase programs yet. These programs are engineered to strengthen rallying in Canada by encouraging both existing competitors and those looking to enter the sport for the first time. The enhanced Subaru Contingency Program provides more financial incentive opportunities for the 2018 season. All registered Subaru participants will be eligible for payouts by simply starting a national CRC event, with additional payouts also awarded for the top- six Subaru finishers at each event, regardless of their overall finish. The program will also see payouts at the conclusion of the season for the top Subaru drivers in the championship standings. The Subaru Canada Rally Car Purchase Rebate Program provides even more financial assistance to CRC competitors. Open to Canadian residents holding current and valid CRC licences, this all-new program provides approved applicants a one-time rebate of up to $10,000 off the purchase price of any 2017 model year or newer Subaru vehicle. For more information on both of these exciting programs, visit the Canadian Association of Rally Sport (CARS) website at carsrally.ca. “With such a rich rally history, we wanted to find a way to support enthusiasts at the grassroots level,” said Subaru Canada, Inc. Chairman, President a nd CEO Yasushi Enami. “We think these two programs will do exactly that by encouraging more people to get involved in the sport in Canada—and helping them keep at it.” PHOTOGRAPHY: JASON NUGENT UPDATING SUBARU’S MOBILITY PROGRAM Custom accelerator installed on the steering column.
