To elevate the team to new heights and continue their long-time presence in the CRC, Subaru Rally Team Canada is excited to debut an all-new 2015 Subaru WRX STI rally car that has been meticulously developed by Rocket Rally Racing. Alongside Subaru's new rally car, SRTC has also named a new driver to challenge the competition: previous winner of the Production World Rally Championship (PWRC) in a Subaru, Martin Rowe.

Rocket Rally Racing, under the leadership of Pat Richard, spent countless hours developing the new SRTC 2015 WRX STI with state-of-the-art computer-aided design (CAD) programs that effectively and efficiently produce calculated improvements. This also allows for the research, design and production of parts to be well documented, making it very easy for Rocket Rally to reproduce and replicate for future uses or their own customer vehicles. Extreme weight reduction and distribution has been achieved with the use of carbon Kevlar materials on large body portions, such as the doors. The 2015 Subaru WRX STI that was provided to the team was a solid foundation to use for this rally racing application. Modifications to the suspension, brakes, engine and transmission were made to handle the extreme nature of the sport. In terms of work that has been completed, the first priority and consideration for each modification was to ensure that the vehicle's high level of reliability, durability and quality were retained.

"We are very excited to see how the next generation 2015 Subaru WRX STI performs in one of the most extreme versions of motorsports and against the tough competition in the Canadian Rally Championship," said Shiro Ohta, chairman, president and CEO of Subaru Canada, Inc. "The underlying durability, quality and reliability that we inject into each and every one of our cars is evident as we compete and with the new Subaru Rally Team Canada car, which has been further enhanced by Rocket Rally Racing. I'm confident that the team will have a strong outing."
