Try the Nippon challenge, I'm sure you'll fit into one of the classes and there are a fair few other subaru's out there. A very friendly paddock and low cost (in motor racing terms). All events are double headers, normally 2 15 minute races.

Always try the Track Day Trophy, reasonable rate for amount track time etc , Need to be novice though or share drive with a novice . (less than 6 completed races). Website tells all.

Cadwell park usually on calendar, just try to make sure the oil stays inside the engine though, wink

CSCC "Modern Classics" is another option. The series has a class for 4wd 2 litre turbo cars. 40 min races with a pit stop so that you can race either on your own or share the car. Plenty of track time for your money and low club membership and registration fees.

The calendar includes a race at Spa once you have your National A race licence

Alternatively, for something other than roundy-roundy stuff, you could try sprints/hillclimbs, which are far cheaper. The debate about seat time for your money starts here...

Hi, I'm in a similar boat to you and have opted for sprinting; getting the car prepped at the mo and have my first open day to attend early next month! Can't wait to get out there now smile
I have a v3 sti, what impreza do you have? I don't have the money for circuit racing and would hate to have contact in the beast as I love her, so for me, sprinting seemed the best way to be competetive and have fun! I would love to race, but it's just not realistic for me to do.
