This is bad news. I want to know more about Tajima, he's the driving force behind Suzuki rallying. I hope he hasn't been sacked. Without him I think it's game over unfortunately.
There was some mention of a Suzuki S2000 car that was gearing up for a debut, possibility in the hands of Monster himself, at Rally NZ.

So Suzuki gives up this easy? Once "monster" talked about "winning the constructors championship" at the beggining of the year everybody knew that he whould be dissapointed. and here we are now, Suzuki has scored 3 points in five events and their reliabitity still sucks like a vacuumcleaner. With this attitude of giving up so easy i don't think it will go so well for them further this year either unfortunally.

i agree with NOT
it s a pitty for the drivers,but that s not a wrc level shows suzuki.
after so much testing and impossible to finish a stage without major proplems.
if there wasn t super rally i doubt if they had completed more than 100 km both cars till now

Suzuki still has a chance, hey have shown very little, but something with reasonable times, only when they get the cars running.
Lets give them some more credit.
Nissan case with the Sunny GTI_R was much the case of Suzuki, but Nissan was aiming to win the championshipwith a high tech car (probably too advance for the moment, with active differentials and lot of the then common electronics).
Seat also won a junior champ (F2 at that time) and when step onto WRC level did not achieve good results (and yes I remember Gardenmeister 3rd position in NZ)Zeque
Argentina
I guess they are still discussing. But I think it's high possibility it will be there, especialy now when Ireland fell out. Maybe they could spice things up and mix some stages with gravel. And...
