Subaru to join IRC??
According to portuguese Autosport, that may happen
http://autosport.aeiou.pt/gen.pl?p=s....stories/65838
google translation:
Subaru sources linked to ensure that the Japanese manufacturer will sign up within
little time in the series sponsored by Eurosport. Despite having canceled its program in
rally world, the very brand of Fuji believes in the potential of the Impreza with new rules
Production and the group believes have a good chance in this league come to take advantage
media and allow many private users the possibility of the model will
collect points, which until now does not.

That is just awesome news...
Would love to see Atko in the N14 and I hope FIA makes the N4 a bit more competitive... slap in the face of David Richards if its true.Post your own splits on the net: find RallyStopwatch on the Google Play Store.

So this is just an effort to field their production car in the IRC? I dont see how that will gain them points on the majority of rounds. Hardly a 'slap in the face' either just entering some production cars.

Brasil will be a good rally to score points with Subaru N4s. The European drivers group will be small (3x Peugeot + 3 Fiats) so the Impreza from the Brasilian rally championship can score high points, that otherwise would be trown away if Subaru is not entered.

I am a huge Subaru fan but I am afraid the N14 cant even compete with the Evo IX (although it did show some speed at the end of the season).....
I hope they make a fast N15 (still developed by Prodrive)

I have some doubts about reliability of such cars...
