Imagine driving in a two-and-a-half hour race event in the middle of a July Saturday afternoon in Alabama. The first thought that comes to mind may be: “We’re gonna sweat buckets!” Yet, Subaru Road Racing Team (SRRT) drivers Andrew Aquilante and Kristian Skavnes will be conditioned and prepared for this Saturday’s Grand-Am KONI Sports Car Challenge series race at Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham, Ala. Their race car is the #111 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B., with Subaru one of nine car manufacturers represented in the KONI series’ Street Tuner class.

As auto racing accidents go, this was relatively small, but the repercussions cost the Subaru Road Racing Team (SRRT) valuable points toward their goal of the Manufacturer and Driver Championships in the Grand-Am KONI Sports Car Challenge series. On lap 94 of last Saturday’s 134-lap race on the 1.53-mile Lime Rock Park circuit near Lakeville, Conn., an over-anxious driver running behind SRRT driver Kristian Skavnes nudged Skavnes off the track while the Sparta, N.J., driver was running seventh in the Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B race car.
