Subaru prepares two new WRX rally cars for the 2024 ARA Championship

Subaru Motorsports USA is preparing for the 2024 American Rally Association (ARA) Championship season, which begins in February with the Sno*Drift Rally in Michigan. The company plans to introduce two new rally vehicles, with Travis Pastrana returning behind the wheel of the 199 car, accompanied by co-driver Rhianon Gelsomino.

In 2023, Subaru introduced a new WRX rally car for entry into the Open 4WD class of the ARA Championship. It debuted at the Ojibwe Forests Rally on August 24-25, 2023, piloted by team #180 – driver Brandon Semenuk and co-driver Keaton Williams, who will return for the 2024 season.

In 2024 the drivers will pilot matching matte blue WRX Subaru Motorsports cars through the ARA rally stages. Subaru says that the drivers and cars can be expected to contend during every stage of the ARA Championship.

Pastrana said, “I have the same co-driver and team from our last championship in 2021 but we have a new WRX that is sure to provide some extra speed.”

Semenuk added, “It’s great having Travis back in the championship. Not only is it more fun having a teammate, but I enjoyed the days of trading times with him.”
