RE: Subaru Quits WRC

[kaylan]

very,very sad day, watched wrc for many years, i think motorsport as a whole will suffer because of the current climate, but like all things it will evolve, there will always have to be motorsport. i take my hat of to subaru they produced some cracking wrc moments, and they produced a road car not far behind the rally car, and what a pleasure it is to drive, i have put many an expensive sports cars to shame with my humble subaru, anyways thanks for the ride subaru, hope its not the last we see of you

Yeah its a real shame. I personally find that Sebastian Loeb is just too good at the moment, but with Subaru and Suzuki away, then there's a lot less competition for him, so im guessing he'll race away with the title this year too.

I see a re-run of 1973 looming - fatuous reasons for mass disqualifications led to an Alpine-Renault 1-2-3. Different conditions, same effect.

I am seriously sad to see SWRT out of the competition, what awful news this is!! It's also sad that just about all jap manufacturers are pulling out of mainstream motorsport, so this just leaves Toyota now in F1

urr apart from Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki still seem to be bike racing, motogp and wsbk (as i write this but may be wrong info in a few hours....)

Spoke too soon there then..... no kawasaki next year....
