Originally, the Subaru Cup was a race series for 1993-1996 Impreza WRX models with 4 pot front calipers and 17" wheels. Power was capped at a max of 300bhp. It was essentially a production specification championship that ran within the Nippon Challenge in 2009.

Take up wasn't exactly dramatic though. It seemed Scoob owners either wanted to polish their pride and joys or spend eleventy-million pounds and make them into fire breathing monsters...

Well for 2010, the Subaru Cup is changing - There is still the production class as before (racing a true scoob for less than £6K!), but now there is a modified class for any age/model Impreza with the addition of an air-restrictor and some ballast to try and even things out.

Why waste all that money on going roundy roundy in Timid Attack, when you can race for real against someone else on track at the same time??!??

The Subaru Cup 2010 is being supported by the SIDC and Banzai magazine.

Check out the following videos for an idea of the action:

With a suitable Subaru Cup race car, you could also enter the Nippon Challenge for a heavilly subsidised fee and thus enjoy 2 x qualification sessions and 4 x races over one weekend for less than £400!
