Re: A sad announcement.... Subaru quit WRC
I have two words: who cares.
Sounds harsh I know but in reality the economy is crap and if quitting WRC is what they need to do to trim the fat a little then I'm all for it. It is much better then going to the government and begging for money. Others will follow...give it time.

Re: A sad announcement.... Subaru quit WRC
I suspect auto racing in general will necessarily go through some big-time changes for the foreseeable future. NASCAR may even revert to a bunch of Appalachian moonshine runnners racing stock cars (which would be way more entertaining than what they're doing now).

I have only followed racing that involved cars that I can actually BUY! nascar USED to only allow cars that were SOLD! They had to sell 500 to the public before they could bring one to the track. This ended in the 70's. That is when my interest in nascar died. WHERE can I buy a rear wheel drive Focus, Camry or Monti Carlo with a V-8??? AUTO-CROSS!! Run what you BRUNG and hope you brought enough!

Re: A sad announcement.... Subaru quit WRC
That IS sad, but since SPEED stopped covering it two or three years ago I sort of drifted away myself. Gosh, I miss it though. The best racing there is as far as I am concerned.
As for NASCRAP, thats the WWF (Wide Waistband Wresting Fellas) of automobile racing. Really, I should say the road racing circuits are fun to watch, but the round and round stuff is silly. BCB

Re: A sad announcement.... Subaru quit WRC
Funny. Subaru withdrawls as a business decision to cut costs... But Ford is still in it?? Now I know why everyone is so pissed about the bail-out
