Subaru Motorsports USA Gear Up for an Exciting Goodwood Festival of Speed Adventure

Subaru Motorsports USA Returns to the Goodwood Festival of Speed

Subaru Motorsports USA is making an anticipated return to the historic Goodwood Festival of Speed (FOS), set to take place from July 10 to 13, 2025. Known for its thrilling hill climb and an array of automotive showcases, this year’s festival promises excitement as Subaru showcases its prowess in motorsports, aiming for victory while celebrating its rich rally heritage.

Last year, Subaru made an impactful debut at the event, with Scott Speed behind the wheel of the formidable WRX Project Midnight. This impressive vehicle recorded the fastest time for an internal combustion engine, competing fiercely against electric vehicles that typically dominate races with their high-powered performance. Speed expressed his enthusiasm: “Project Midnight is an amazing car, and Goodwood is a special event. I can’t wait to run it up that hill again!” This year's focus will be on both the speed of the cars and the legacy they continue to uphold.

In addition to Speed, extreme sports icon Travis Pastrana will once again take his place on Goodwood’s renowned rally stage. He plans to pilot the leading WRX ARA25 in the American Rally Association (ARA) Open 4WD class. Known for his high-energy head-to-head racing style, Pastrana commented, “I'm stoked to be in the O4WD car again! It'll take a second to get used to it, but I always have fun driving for that crowd. We’re gonna have a great time!”

This festival is particularly significant as it celebrates the 30th anniversary of Colin McRae's championship win, fortifying the emotional weight of Subaru’s presence. Among the cars featured are several of McRae’s legendary vehicles alongside the WRX ARA25, paying tribute to the spirit that defined an era in rally racing. Subaru's commitment to speed not only ties the brand to its past but also highlights its ongoing relevance in today's motorsports landscape.

Amidst last year’s electrifying performances and record-setting runs, there’s palpable excitement surrounding Project Midnight's return. This year, a diverse lineup is set to astound spectators with everything from classic motorsport icons to the latest hypercars, as well as experimental hybrids and all-electric platforms. Not to mention, the festival will also celebrate the 75th anniversary of Formula 1, bringing a myriad of racing legends under one roof.

As Subaru Motorsports USA gears up for the event, fans can follow the action and stay updated through Subaru’s social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram (@subarumotorsportsusa), as well as TikTok. The team encourages motorsport enthusiasts to join the celebration and witness Subaru’s relentless racing spirit in action during the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
