Subaru of America, Inc. announced today that Subaru will return to the fabled Isle of Man TT Races and attempt to beat its own fastest car lap time. The current record of 115.36mph for the iconic 37 3/4 mile TT Mountain Course was set three years ago by Mark Higgins in a (2011) Subaru WRX STI. Higgins will return to drive the new 2015 Subaru WRX STI.
Braaaaaaaawp

I'd say Michael Rutter has been fairly successfull on the short circuits, he might not have had the championships but has ended up 2nd and 3rd a few times in bsb and has a fair few wins and podiums, and has been racing at a high level for a long time, as well as racing on the roads.
Plenty of wins at Macau. Not sure he has been the same in BSB since Brookes threw him off at Cadwell in 2011. Plus, he's been on a different bike each year for the last four years (Ducati>Kwak>Honda>BMW).graphene said:

As much as I like Subaru's, I always kind of snigger imagining telling a young lady (upon being asked what car one drove) 'Oh I've got an STi' I can almost sense the next question being about anti biotics...
As for Mr Higgins trying for a quicker lap at the TT, yawn; not what the TT is about for me, and a very dreary interruption to the proceedings last time!

Best of luck The bike is a battle and great challenge though we are hopeful
I was with Brunel in 2009 for the inaugural TTXGP. Was an immense experience, and would love to do it all again. All the best for TT2014.
