Subaru not to compete in WRC 2009 :(

[David P]

No Subaru in WRC for 2009 a sad day for the WRC


Subaru follows Suzuki out of WRC - Yahoo! Eurosport UK

Jeez, that's news to rock the WRC world!

[AlfaJack]

Terrible news

In top rank motorsport you wonder who is next to pull out.
Guess with whats going on in the US, Ford or GM night be under pressure

[Pascs]

I think it will be the tip of the iceberg. Advertising will also be hit hard and many forms of motorsport rely very heavily on advertising.

[Hunter]

Motorsport is suffering right now.

[Dr GTA]

This really isn't good news

[nomad]

A bit of a shock that one eh

[madz330]

Bad news the for WRC.

[howell811]

That's not good news at all !

Is it worth me changing the plugs on me Escort Mexico and entering in 2009 if I can find where I left it in the scrapyard..there might be nobody else in it

Change brings opportunities. I don't regard all this financial belt tightening in motor sport as a bad thing. Rallying might become fun again, you never know.

Would not be surprised if Ford pulled out as well-they have been reluctant participents for several years.

[Squadrone Rosso]

Bad news. Had a tour of the Prodrive facility in Banbury some time back.

The new (and very ugly) car plus Crash Atkinson haven't done it for them

[Squadrone Rosso]

No Suzuki either

BBC webbie saying that only Ford and Citroen are left in next years WRBBC SPORT | Motorsport | Rallying | Subaru pull out of world rallying
Cant see how it can continue with that level of support
