Subaru used the Levorg estate car to win the BTC in 2017 with Ash Sutton driving. It was in rwd format, as 4wd is not allowed in the BTC.

Behind the wheel of one of the cars was 26-year-old Rickard Rydell who, despite his tender age, had a great deal of experience from karting, Formula 3000 and Formula 3. In the other car was his team-mate Jan Lammers, a 37-year-old Dutchman who had competed in various classes including Formula 1.
