The American Rally Association (ARA) sanctions stage rally events across the United States as well as the nationwide series championship in which Subaru Motorsports USA competes. Spanning the country, the championship consists of eight rounds and draws top-name competitors from around the world, developing extreme-sports-stars-turned-rally-champions such as Ken Block, Travis Pastrana, and Brandon Semenuk. American Rally offers an adrenaline-infused race against the clock on real roads with world-class drivers using production-based cars on diverse surfaces that include snow, sand, gravel, dirt, and tarmac. Subaru Motorsports USA has supported the ARA championship since its inaugural season in 2017.
