Lots of good info so far here. Good work gents.

One thing to consider in the HPDE vs Autox debate is cost. HPDE are usually much more expensive. Usual fees are about $150-250 per day for an HPDE,...

Or, if he really wants a 4-pot while remaining with that rotor diameter, he could just use the OEM Subaru 4 pot and some 2 piece standard rotors like DBA's. Or the fancier AP Racing Group N 4 pot....

Yes, I agree. There's there are very few true enthusiasts (surprisingly) in europe for this car. I think the UK will do well with them. But I don't see Germany being a huge market. Perhaps since its...

At the very least I'd look into some skid plates to protect the undercarriage a bit. Maybe rally armor will come out with some stuff? They've got rally flaps coming out.
