Subaru Motorsports USA will return to the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb Shootout July 9–12, with Travis Pastrana set to make the U.K. debut of the Subaru “Brataroo” 9500 Turbo. The Goodwood Festival of Speed brings together competitors and machinery from across the racing spectrum, from Formula 1 and rally to sports cars, prototypes and more. The event’s famed Hillclimb Shootout sees select entrants take on the 1.16-mile course in pursuit of the fastest time up the hill, event officials stated in a press release.
Built by Subaru Motorsports USA and Vermont SportsCar as a modern tribute to the 1978 Subaru BRAT, the “Brataroo” first captured worldwide attention as the star of “Gymkhana: Aussie Shred.” In the film, Pastrana puts the purpose-built machine through a full catalog of Gymkhana extremes, including high-speed slides, massive jumps and even a water crossing. The film has since surpassed 12 million views on YouTube and earned multiple Telly Awards.
