Welcome to the forum, and RA will not let you drive your STI as a rookie. I tried when I was going for my rally license. You can drive the sti, but it cannot be turbo'd so you must do a 2.5 NA swap. I spoke with the licensing person about this. I was pretty livid since that's the car I had been practicing with for 2 years on end. So just a heads up for that, but if you can get a 2WD turbo, that's game for a rookie.

What is the reasoning behind the no turbo'ed awd platforms? You would think that if they allowed turbo'ed 2wd then awd wouldn't be an issue.

welcome man! stay safe!!!

Thanks for all the love people! and I am also an 11b.. best job in the Army!

I have heard the rules against AWD turbos running rookie in RA, but I have also heard that you need somewhere around 18 official points to be able to race AWD turbo. Which means you would have to start at a lower level but the experience would be worth it as well.

 

[Undecisive]

Yeah you need to complete atleast 6 full events with RA before you are eligible to run a turbo AWD car. Which means, you need to get another car and prep it and learn to drive it and then race it. before moving to the subaru. I think it's ridiculous, You're better off racing NASA's rally series which does the same events as RA and they allow rookies to run turbo AWD cars. Then once you do the full 6 events with NASA you can transfer over to RA. That is the easiest way I see of doing it if you don't want to prep a second car for the novice period of your rallying.

Gimme a waiver, slap some stickers on my car and give me a countdown.. not that hard.

 

[04JBPSTi]

[Undecisive]

bubba, atleast on the east coast they run the same rallies. Not sure how they go on the midwest and west. But both nasa and ra run black forest here, rally west VA, and rally FL. or atleast they did when I was looking at doing it.
