Class Eligibility |
 |
Rally America: Rally America National Championship Super Production Class only |

Award Information: |
 |
Finish position of a registered competitor is based on his/her position relative ONLY to 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 discretion of Subaru. |
 |
FINISH AWARDS: Per event award payouts are for the 1st-10th placed SP drivers in eligible Subaru vehicles for each event. Each position award will either fall under Plan A or Plan B (based on vehicle eligibility described in section 6), and paid out according to their respective schedules listed below. (see “PAYOUT SCHEDULES”) |
 |
DNF AWARDS: If a Plan A registered competitor officially starts but fails to finish an event, he/she will be eligible for a $500 award with the following restrictions:
- The DNF Award is not available to Plan B competitors
- A DNF Award is only available if there are LESS THAN 10 registered Subaru competitors that FINISH the event. If 10 or more registered Subaru competitors finish the event, then NO DNF AWARDS will be available.
- A maximum of 10 awards (Finishers and Non-Finishers combined) in total will be available at each event. If the combined total FINISHERS and NON-FINISHERS is greater than 10, then those who do not finish will be classified on the following criteria in order to determine the top 10 classification for the 10 awards:
- Total number of stages the competitor has completed. For example: a competitor
who starts and completes 8 stages will receive a classification position in front of a
competitor who completes only 7 stages. A non-finishing competitor can only receive
$500, regardless of classification within the top 10.
- If more than one eligible competitor fails to finish the same stage, they will be
ordered based on their cumulative completed stage time through the previous stage,
including any applicable penalties or road points.
|
 |
Subaru will make every effort to provide event awards at the conclusion of each event weekend, at either the awards ceremony or in person by a representative of Subaru. Awards will be in the form of a check to the registered driver. Awards will be withheld if event results are not confirmed by Rally America or a protest or inquiry is presented. |
 |
If recipients do not receive an applicable award at the conclusion of an event, a check in the appropriate amount will be mailed to the address on record. |
| |
See “Payout Schedule” below for award amounts |
