VW in the WRC in 2013

Haven't heard anything about Suzuki, but Saab plans to come back this year. Mini WRC's first event is this weekend. Last event was one of the first for the S2000 Spec Mini's, and it broke in to the top 10. I have high hopes for the WRC Spec verison.

Subaru mainly left because they banned AWD cars, not because of engine size.

 

What the crack are you talking about? All WRC cars are AWD. Subaru also left because it was when the economy was starting to hit bad and the current rule set at the time was expensive to meet.

To return to WRC, Subaru would have to develop a 1.6 inline 4cyl engine, and come up with a model that's smaller than the Impreza (Fiesta/mini sized). Both would have to be developed from scratch and sold. Not going to happen.

 

However, there are still Subarus in the other classes (Group N, etc). The new Impreza should help that effort however as it's lighter than the current model.

It's impressive how they can't make a good looking car.

 

Draco will love them regardless.

Fugly is better than boring. :fuckyeah:

 

The funny part is that Subaru styling is like a fungus. It'll grow on you if you give it half a chance.
