As it turns out, Subaru can still win a rally race. Despite the death of the WRX STI, Subaru has proved it’s not done with the platform yet.
With road-going Subaru performance cars now limited to just the Subaru WRX and the BRZ, the STI name is gone for now. Despite that, it still carries some weight in the motorsports community, with Subaru winning the 2022 American Rally Association (ARA) championship.
On top of that, Subaru teammates Brandon Semenuk and co-driver Keaton Williams beat out Hoonigan’s Ken Block and co-driver Alex Gelsomino for the win. It is Subaru’s sixteenth driver’s championship under Subaru Motorsports USA. “I’m just speechless right now, can’t believe we got the championship!” said Semenuk after the final stage.
