Aga noh, kui FIA niimoodi uute WRC-dega tõmbleb, siis on loobumised või teatavaks ajaks tagasitõmbumised selged. Subaru lootis, et uue WRC saab ehitada N-grupi auto baasil, aga tutkit. Hoopis S2000 on FIA lemmiklaps. Kuigi, kuuldusi on liikunud ka Subaru huvist WTCC vastu, kus saaks pruukida kah S2000 autot (ilma nelikveota).
Arvestades seda FIA viimast otsust, võib ilmselt Mitsu naasmisele ka kriipsu peale tõmmata (nad plaanisid ka N-rühma auto baasil WRC-d...)
PS: japside tõmblemine on mujaltki teada, tuleb meelde Honda ja Toya tegevus omal ajal USA-s kus CCWS-ilt tõmmati ühtäkki vaip jalge alt ära...

Subaru to withdraw from World Rally Championship
Subaru has announced its decision to withdraw from the 2009 World Rally Championship.
This sudden decision was in response to the widespread economic downturn that is affecting the entire automotive industry, and follows Suzuki’s withdrawal announced yesterday.
After 20 years in the sport, during which time the Prodrive-run Subaru World Rally Team has won six World Rally Championship titles, this is not only sad news for Subaru and the team, but also for millions of rallying fans around the world. Thanks to its highly successful World Rally Championship programme, Subaru has developed into one of the world’s most widely recognised and evocative automotive brands.
Prodrive chairman, David Richards, said: “Subaru’s departure from the World Rally Championship is a great loss as it is one of the sport’s icons. The Subaru World Rally Team has created true champions such as Colin McRae and Richard Burns and its absence will be felt by many the world over. Although this decision closes a significant chapter in Prodrive’s history, our focus now turns to the future.”
For many, Prodrive and Subaru are synonymous, given the long-standing and close association between the two companies. However, while the Subaru World Rally Team historically represented a significant part of Prodrive’s business, today it accounts for no more than 20 per cent of the company’s turnover.
Prodrive will look to redeploy as many of the rally team as possible in other areas of its business operations, which have grown to span advanced engineering and manufacturing for the automotive, defence, marine and aerospace industries, in addition to other motorsport programmes.
Despite the current economic downturn, Prodrive’s automotive engineering business remains buoyant as it works with vehicle manufacturers to accelerate the development of next generation fuel-efficient vehicles and alternative fuel technologies.
Together with Subaru, Prodrive’s commitment to its customer rally teams will also continue unabated for 2009 and beyond. Over the past 15 years, Prodrive has sold close to 500 rally cars to more than 400 private competitors and independent rally teams in 47 countries. During this time, Prodrive’s customers have won five consecutive Production World Rally Championships and countless international rallies. In 2008, Prodrive-supported customer teams have claimed eight rally championship titles around the world.
Looking ahead, 2010 will see the introduction of new World Rally Championship technical regulations, which provide Prodrive with an opportunity to prepare for re-entering the championship with a new team and build on its 24 years of World Rally Championship experience and success.

See on juba tragikomöödia. Kes oleks osanud nädal tagasi ette ennustada Subaru lahkumist? See on ikka vähe teine tere kui Suzuki. Eks see aasta põristatakse kuidagi ära, aga palju tähtsam küsimus on, mis 2010 saama hakkab. Majandusolud lähevad autotootjatele järjest keerulisemaks ja kas 2010 üldse sõita soovijaid on? 
Kas sellist WRC'd me tahtsimegi?
Ausalt öeldes kahtlen, et Sidrunil ja Fordilgi neid ressursse niipalju on, et hakata kolmandaid sõitjaid endale krabama. Arvan, et Solberg ehk võtab vähemalt ajutiselt aja maha ja teeb võistluspausi - jälgib, mida ralli tulevik toob ning teeb selle põhjal edasisi otsuseid. Kahju Atkinsonist - ta ei jõudnudki oma esimest võitu ära oodata. Keegi teab, millised on ta rahalised võimalused, et normaalse autoga MM-rallidel osaleda?Kolin kirjutas:Asi hakkab hapuks minema. Citroen võtab omale Solbergi kolmandaks piloodiks Ja Ford krabab ära Atkinsoni. Teised pühkigu suu puhtaks.
Aga noh, need uudised ausalt öeldes isegi väga enam ei kurvasta, pigem tundub see elu loomuliku osana. Ootan ka Citroeni ja Fordi lahkumist, et oleks n-ö täismäng.
Kahe tootjaga WRC-sari tundub niigi liiga mõttetuna, parem tekkigu midagi muud sinna asemele.Aava seisukohalt võttes arvan küll, et antud olukorras peaks lausa ime juhtuma, et ta saaks mingi normaalse paketi 2009. aastaks kokku (ehk siis teisisõnu korraliku tehnika roolis enamik WRC-rallisid). Sõitjaid on tõesti enam turul ning mitmed neist on vägagi kõrgest klassist - isegi kui ka autosid odavamalt renditakse, siis tegelikult seesama pretendeerivate sõitjate hulk jääb ju alles või suureneb veelgi.sapakas kirjutas:Kui nüüd meie seisukohalt võtta siis võib olla seis nii ja naa.... kehvama variandi puhul on nüüd suur hulk häid ja tõenäoliselt rahakaid sõitjad päris palju turul, teistpidi, et tootjad (subaru,ford,citroen) hinge sees saaks hoida võiksid nad ju autosi odavamalt rentida...
Tegelikult on hetkel suht raske spekuleerida. Parim oleks vist lihtsalt oodata ja vaadata, mis sellest MM-karussellist üldse saab... ja võtta üks ralli korraga.

Solberg oskab juba nalja teha...valmacher kirjutas:Solbergil olla ka käeluu murd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=graCdhtipt4
Ja auto ei tee ka seda, mida tema juht tahab..
selle 2009 aasta seisukohalt võibolla on isegi hea, et ärakukkujaid nii palju on...
See võib tähendada juba järgmiseks hooajaks kardinaalseid muudatusi, kuigi jah, aega on väga vähe selleks.
Ford võib jah reklaami mõttes juba taotldeda mitte World Rally Championshipi asemele Ford Rally Championship nime kandvat sarja

loogiline on vast see, et prodrive ikkagi sponsside toel subsidega ja samade pilootidega teeb eratiimina kaasa stiilis kronos 2006? kui muidugi sponsse on.

väljavõte rahvusvahelisest foorumist, viitega Norra päevalehe VG netiväljaandele:
(VG Nett) Subaru has chosen to skip the rally-circus, but Petter Solberg is welcome to Mads Østbergs Norwegian Adapta World Rally Team.
Sure we are interested, it would be almost stupid to say no. Petter is one of the major drivers, "said team manager Morten Østberg to VG Nett.
Must obtain permission of Subaru
Firstly, he must want to do it. For the second Petter receive between 45 and 50 million (Nkr) in salaries directly from Subaru in Japan. Adapta World Rally Team can not buy him out from this contract, that last out 2009.
- To solve this we need Petter to reach agreement with Subaru in which he allowed to do jobs with other teams. But if he can and will, we will be very happy to have him here, "said Morten Østberg.
Subarus decision to skip the WRC circus has nothing to say for Adapta World Rally Team and Mads Østberg commitment to the World Cup next year.
- We have the necessary reasurances from Prodrive that Subarus exit from the WRC has no significance for our program. We will get the same - if not better - backing from Prodrive after this decision, "says Østberg.

Subaru autosid tootev Fuji Heavy Industries teatas teisipäeval, et tõmbub ülemaailmase majanduskriisi tõttu tagasi autoralli WRC-sarjast.
Uudis tähendab ka seda, et hetkeseisuga on tööta meeskonna piloodid Petter Solberg ja Chris Atkinson, kuigi mõlemal oli järgmiseks hooajaks Subaruga juba leping sõlmitud.
Mõni päev varem teatas oma loobumisest teinegi Jaapani autotootja Suzuki. Vormel-1 sarjaga lõpetas mõni nädal tagasi aga Honda tehasevõistkond. WRC-sarjas on nüüd tehasetiimidest veel ainult Citroen ja Ford.
Autotootjad on igal pool maailmas majanduskitsikuse tõttu surve all ja püüavad vähendada kulusid.
