The Subaru WRX Games, inspired by the popular X Games, aim to be the ultimate Subaru driving experience by putting you in the driver's seat and on the track. The Subaru WRX Games feature various events including the 2010 Legacy 2.5GT Driving Experience, Subaru Freestyle Gymkhana, Need for Speed and a Car Show where you can enter your own car.
In our opinion, the highlight of this event is the Subaru Freestyle Gymkhana which offers you the possibility to both ride shotgun with a professional and to compete against other drivers yourself.
The Subaru WRX Games will take place at The Fairplex, Pomona, California, on August 1, 2009.
