A few of the 600-plus Subarus lining up for the parade lap.

More than 600 Subarus on the main track together. That was the parade lap at SubiNats 2026, and a bloody good reason to stop and take it all in. Plenty to look at in the display area, but seeing that many cars out on the circuit together was the bit that stayed with us. A couple of cars from Canberra Meet Up made it along too. Good to see a bit of Canberra in the mix.
The sprint groups kept the track busy through the day, with the show and shine giving us somewhere to wander and have a proper look at the builds between sessions. Cars being used, cars being shown off, and plenty worth stopping for. You could spend a fair while looking around, then head back to see what was happening on track.
Then a bloke on a bike was doing flips over a new Subaru. As you do. A bit of a change from watching four wheels go past, and another reason to keep the camera handy.
By the later part of the day, roll racing had added another lot of action. The photos caught the cars lined up in the afternoon light, ready for their next run. A good way to finish a day that had already given us plenty to watch.
For us, though, that parade lap was the standout. More than 600 Subarus sharing the main track, all there to be part of the same event. You can walk past rows of parked cars all day, but seeing them out there together is something else.
Two wheels had their turn too. A moment from the bike display at SubiNats.
Late afternoon light and another run ready to go. Roll racing rounded out the day.
