Subaru UK & Ireland returns to Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026 as sponsor of the Forest Rally Stage. The new all-electric, all-wheel drive Subaru E-Outback will make its UK dynamic debut on the rally course as official safety vehicle, perfectly at home in the tyre tracks of Subaru’s renowned competition cars and rally legends.
Both new E-Outback and the new electric, all-wheel drive Uncharted will be displayed in Subaru’s dedicated paddock at the start of the rally route. Visitors to the Forest Rally Stage can explore the new models, win Subaru giveaways, and get up close to the world of rally sport with on-stage presentations throughout the weekend.

Two iconic Subaru rally cars also join the Forest Rally Stage paddock, including the 2001 Subaru Impreza X20 SRT in which Richard Burns and Robert Reid won the 2001 FIA World Rally Championship; and the 1992 Subaru Legacy RS Group N Impreza G330 TUE, in which young Richard Burns took his first championship title with Subaru.
Some of the most exciting action at the Festival of Speed can be found in Goodwood’s woodlands at the top of the legendary hill. Spectators can walk freely through the paddocks, encounter rally icons past and current, and take in the action on the treelined tracks.
