For what it's worth, these are called 'contingency programs'.

Also, it looks like Subaru has a contingency program with SCCA Solo (autocross).

This is offered by Toyota for SCCA solo II racing in the USA. There is a thread about it somewhere here.

No thanks. It sounds like fun, but if you wreck your car, guess who has no liability. Especially for $500, which would probably barely cover your gear, insurance and registration costs, let alone any mods you would have to do to make the care competetive. Bump that up a zero or two and you may have something.

And $150 for first place... that's kinda lame, that typically wont even cover gas money 1 way to an event Subaru provides A LOT more support for rallycross these days. |

Some of the organizations do autocross events which are extremely low risk such as the VCMC group. |

Besides, these contingencies aren't intended for you to make a living off of. They are basically just paying for advertisements. If do well in a competition, and you let everyone know you use part X, you get a kickback. |
