UNDER THE SKIN OF SUBARU’S LATEST GYMKHANA BEAST

One of the biggest downsides of modern motorsport is the extremely tight regulations that prevent manufacturers from flexing their muscles and showing what they can really do when given a blank sheet of paper.

Another is that racing (and rallying) is hugely expensive. But in recent times we’ve seen a remedy for both of those issues in the shape of Hoonigan’s popular Gymkhana series. Brands get more marketing reach at a lower cost, and with no rules, manufacturers can pretty much build what they want. Fans get entertained, too. It’s a win-win-win.
