    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.

    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)

    Do like in Spain, there group N can have 36mm restrictor, would be good fight with S2000 then
    Passion will make you crazy, but is there a other way to live ? :burnout:
