03 Jun 2016|1,318 views
Subaru Tecnica International (STI), the motorsport division of Subaru, has won the SP3T class for the fourth time at the 2016 Nurburgring 24 Hour Race.
The SP3T class is for turbocharged cars powered by an engine of 2.0-litres or under. The Subaru WRX STI NBR Challenge 2016 - a racing car based on the WRX STI mass-production model - took part in the race.
The team, led by General Team Manager Hidehari Tatsumi and Team Manager Shigeo Sugaya, started from second position in class after qualifying, but took the lead early on. Driven by Carlo van Dam, Marcel Lasee, Tim Schrick and Hideki Yamauchi, the WRX STI completed 121 laps (approx. 3,070km) in 24 hours and claimed a class win. STI has now competed in the Nurburgring 24 Hour Race for nine consecutive years, with 2016 marking the fourth win in the SP3T class, following its last victory in the 2015 race.
The victory stands as testament to what the Subaru WRX STI is capable of, putting its Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and high-performance to good use on circuits such as the Nurburgring Nordschleife, one of the most challenging and dangerous tracks in the world.
