SUBARU MOTORSPORTS USA RETURNS TO GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED, AIMING FOR SHOOTOUT GLORY AND RALLY STAGE THRILLS
SUBARU MOTORSPORTS USA RETURNS TO GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED, AIMING FOR SHOOTOUT GLORY AND RALLY STAGE THRILLS
The legendary Goodwood Festival of Speed (FOS) returns July 10–13, and Subaru Motorsports USA is set to make its mark once again. With a proven track record and fan-favorite drivers at the helm, the team is coming back to the South of England with eyes on the podium—and continuing a lineage that helped shape rally history.
After a breakout debut at the 2024 Festival where Scott Speed and the blistering WRX: Project Midnight recorded the fastest internal combustion engine (ICE) time and ran neck-and-neck with electric competitors boasting triple the power, the duo is back for 2025. “Project Midnight is an amazing car,” says Speed. “And Goodwood is a special event. I can’t wait to run it up that hill again!” The car is brutally loud, shooting flames out of the hood as it charges toward its nearly 10,000 rpm redline—an unmistakable presence on the hill.
No Festival of Speed would be complete without Subaru Motorsports USA driver and extreme sports icon Travis Pastrana, who this year returns to the gravel on Goodwood’s storied rally stage behind the wheel of the class-leading WRX ARA25. With his characteristic energy and flair, Pastrana is set to thrill in the American Rally Association (ARA) Open 4WD class car.
“I’m stoked to be in the O4WD car again!” Pastrana says. “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!”
As Goodwood celebrates thirty years since Colin McRae’s title-winning season, Subaru’s presence on the rally stage carries added weight. With several of McRae’s own cars running alongside the WRX ARA25, the moment is both a tribute and a reminder: the spirit that defined an era continues today—loud, fast, and still wearing the same iconic colors.
With the crowd still buzzing from last year’s record-setting runs, anticipation is high for Project Midnight’s return to the hill. From classic motorsport icons and rare hypercars to experimental hybrids and full-electric mobility platforms, the 2025 Festival promises a lineup as diverse as ever. And with Formula 1’s 75th anniversary as a central theme, fans can expect to see legends of speed from every corner of the racing world.
