Subaru’s first all-electric SUV, the Solterra, will serve as the Official Safety Car for the WorldSBK motorsport series. This marks Subaru Europe’s entry into official motorsport and the first use of an all-electric vehicle in this role.
The Solterra emphasizes Subaru’s commitment to delivering vehicles that combine enjoyment and safety. Designed for critical performance, it has excelled at the season’s rounds and will be present at round seven of the WorldSBK Championship at Donington Park in the UK, featuring three races and support events, including World SuperSport and the Women’s World Championship.
David Dello Stritto, General Manager at Subaru Europe, remarked, “Subaru’s racing heritage makes WorldSBK a great fit for our brand. This partnership aligns Subaru with performance and innovation, reinforcing our values of driving pleasure, durability, and safety.”
Francesco Valentino, Head of WorldSBK’s Commercial & Marketing Department, added, “We’re excited to have Subaru as our Official Safety Car provider. The Solterra’s combination of innovation and reliability makes it a perfect match for our championship and enhances the fan experience.”
