Subaru Legacy GT300 Car Not Factory Backed

Contrary to various reports that Subaru would be entering Super GT this year with a factory backed effort, we are now told that they will only be offering technical support for team R&D Sport.

Questions were raised whether Subaru was making the right decision coming back into Super GT in the current economic climate especially after it axed its World Rally Championship program, but it now seems that they are only offering a supportive role to team R&D Sport who are currently preparing the car for competition. R&D Sport will retain the 4WD driveline and apparently the car will be painted white in keeping with R&D Sport’s current livery featuring main sponsor Willcom. The GT300 R&D Sport Subaru Legacy B4 will make its debut race at Round 6 of the Super GT championship to be held at Suzuka Circuit on August 22- 23.
