Subaru und Rally, das war einmal und wird wohl nix mehr

| Recently, Mr. Yoshio Hirakawa, president of Subaru Tecnica International, was asked on his thoughts and recent rumors, as well as suggestions from Toyota, about whether Subaru will re-enter the World Rally Championship. Here is the translated response from https://s.response.jp : "The starting point of Subaru's motor sports activities is to the end is a commercial car base.STI also has a commitment to commercial parts, Group A. Of course it is something that denies the category pursuing speed and technology purely like F1. Although there is no Subaru's policy is pursuit of safety of commercial cars, we do not develop vehicles and engines for racing.The car familiar with fans sympathizes with the fact that the car of the same engine is running Unfortunately, in the current WRC category, there is no honest vehicle to handle. " It would be great to see Subaru back in the WRC, but the fact that STi still holds true to its core values from the 80's of making the production cars better is commendable and refreshing. Just a shame the World Rally Championship has strayed so far away from production cars. |
