  1. Plan “A”: 2008 Model Year or newer Impreza models (2.5i, WRX, STI)
  2. Plan “B”: 2007 Model Year or older Impreza models and 2000 Model Year or newer Legacy models
• Please review the per event payout schedule below for respective Plan payouts.

7. Class Eligibility*

• Rally America National Championship Super Production Class only
• “Dual-entered” (Regional + National entry) drivers are not eligible; this program is for SP drivers in ONLY the NATIONAL portion of a Rally America National Championship event.

8. Award Information:

• Finish position of a registered competitor is based on his/her position in the official event standings relative to all other registered and eligible SP class Subaru participants in this program.  Un-registered SP drivers are not factored in the contingency results.
• Any penalties, disqualifications, or class changes levied by Rally America officials on any registered Subaru SP contingency program entrant will be mirrored or applied to finish classifications at the sole discretion of Subaru.
• FINISH AWARDS:  Per event award payouts are for the top ten finishing registered  drivers in  eligible Subaru vehicles for each event (based on vehicle eligibility described in section 6), and paid out according to their respective schedules listed below.  (see “PAYOUT SCHEDULES”)
• DNF (Did Not Finish) PAYOUT:  If a registered contingency program competitor officially starts but fails to finish an event, he/she will be eligible for a $500 payout with the following restrictions:
  • The Subaru SP Contingency Program will payout a maximum of ten (10) drivers at each event with “FINISH” and/or “DNF Payouts”. If more than ten (10) registered and eligible drivers start an event those who do not finish will receive a post-event classification position based on the following criteria to determine if they fall within the top ten (10):
    • Classification will first be based on total number of stages the competitor has completed, with the competitor who completes more stages receiving the lower finish position. For example: a competitor who starts and completes eight (8) special stages will receive a classification position in front of a competitor who completes only seven (7) stages.
    • If more than one eligible competitor fails to finish the same stage, they will each be classified based on their cumulative completed stage time through the previous stage, including any applicable penalties or road points.
    • A non-finishing competitor can only receive  $500, regardless of classification within the top 10 based on the above criteria.

• Awards will be withheld if event results are not confirmed by Rally America or a protest or inquiry is presented.
• The award check, in the appropriate amount, will be mailed to the address on record, payable to the registered driver.
• See “Payout Schedule” below for award amounts
