To join the WRX Club of QLD you can own any sort of car, or bike, or boat or even a nice pair of runners.

We currently have predominately Subaru’s, but they are not all WRX’s. We are proud to have many Liberty’s, Legacy’s and Forester’s and we even have a 1983 Leone! Getting away from the Subaru's, we have heaps of Evo’s around, including the current Club President with a nice example of an Evo IX. Just to show that all makes and models are welcome, our current Club Secretary cruises around in a 100 Series Landcruiser. Getting away from the AWDs, we have a couple of Mazda’s and even an expensive Camry (aka Lexus).

Our cars stretch from pristine showroom spec vehicles through to full race cars. So don’t think that it’s all about motorsport, there is always something on for everyone!

Remember, you get access to a private forum which is a wealth of knowledge with some of Brisbane’s most reputable tuners, mechanics and exhaust specialists always around to give advice.

Normally our membership including CAMS affiliation is $65 for 12 months but we are currently running a Membership Special where you get 2 Years membership for $100!

How to Join

Please click here to go to our online membership form. Once you submit the form one of our committee members will soon be in contact with you to welcome you to the club and to arrange payment and organise access to the Forum

Targa 2011 - Wrapped up by a Queenslander

Congratulations to WRX Club of Qld member Rodney Blank for successfully completing Targa 2011. Rod is a regular at Targa, but this year achieved his best result with a 23rd outright. Rod proudly flies the Subaru banner with his 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi C-Spec which runs in the Modern class, with 946 on the doors.

It was a great week for Subaru with 10 out of the top 25 cars being a Subaru.

Queenslander Tony Quinn has claimed his second modern Targa Tasmania title in three years with an emphatic display across five days and 500 kilometres of intense competition around the island state.

The 2009 winner was the dominant force in the event in his Nissan GT-R. He and co-driver, Naomi Tillet, took the lead on Targa stage four on the opening day, and were never headed, crossing the finish line at Hobart’s Wrest Point three minutes and 39 seconds ahead of second placegetter, Dean Herridge, in a Subaru WRX STI. Matthew Sims was third, a further one minute 58 seconds in arrears.

Congratulations to Neville Scott. He managed to rebuild his car after a serious crash at Pittsworth Street Sprints in 2010, with the car rolling off the dyno rollers at 7pm on Friday ready to be scrutineered at 7am on Saturday.

Nev's first real drive of the car was driving the car through the pits to the start line! Even in an unfamiliar car with a lot more horse power then before, Nev managed a very respectable 0:33.364 time. Only to better this to a fastest lap of 0:31.396 for a fastest in class and fastest outright
