Subaru’s Impreza WRX was born from rally, and the brand owes a large chunk of its motorsport history to one man – Noriyuki Koseki.

Even before he helped develop world-beating road and race Subarus, he was racing them on his own time and money. In the late 1960s, Koseki founded a local motorsport club in his… Read More →

There’s no other way to put it, rally drivers are truly a different breed. Their ability to read the road ahead with the help of pace notes while traveling over 100 mph on tight forest roads is simply astonishing. In changing weather conditions, rally drivers battle through gravel, asphalt, mud, dust, and even snow-covered roads while racing against the clock. Simply put, top drivers of the World Rally Championship have mastered the art of driving… Read More →

Pastrana told the Sun prior to his packed autograph session at Profile Subaru in Conway on Thursday he is excited about getting the chance to return to the twisting road that snakes up to the 6,288-foot summit of Mount Washington.

The “Climb to the Clouds” has a rich history. First run in July 1904, the race up Mount Washington took place seven years before the first 500-mile race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and 12 years prior to the inaugural Pikes Peak Hillclimb in Colorado. The Climb was run sporadically from 1904-61, then not again until 1990, when it was run consistently until 2001. Following a 10-year hiatus, the Mount Washington Hillclimb returned in 2011 in… Read More →

Subaru has been teasing the second model to wear its new Wilderness badge, but has been coy about which model that would be. We had a very strong hunch that it was the Forester, and now that hunch has been confirmed by the EPA. The Environmental Protection Agency is in charge of testing cars against the same standard to get those mileage ratings you see on a window sticker at the dealer. But in publishing… Read More →
