Subaru Comeback?

[Rallyper]

I'd bet my money that they dont.

How much money do you have?

Aston Martin is Merc's engines and brand name/sponsor for the team. Wtf.
AM is also just a sponsor/badge for the team.
What about Tag Heuer Red Bull.. actually were Renault engines, just branded differently

Everybody knows that Aston Martin uses Mercedes engines, that's why they are called Aramco Aston Martin Mercedes. Everybody knows that there are only 3 full factory teams (+ Red Bull kinda). They will Honda's factory team in 2026, which again, doesn't change the fact that it's Aston Martin as it's owned by same person who owns Lagonda (if he won't sell the team ofc). You are mixing absolutely different things together.

Not me, I dont know anything about F1, I haven't watched any events in last 20 years.. so, please stick with Subaru. I have heard that there is some turth behind this rumor, but there is no official story about it. Normally it should not happen before 2027.

A lot of Mercs on the road today have Renault engines. Different chassis and engine manufacturers stretch back to the beginning of cars, one good reason why it's like this format names in F1. Much of the automotive industry is companies owning a slice of another that owns a slice of the first, passing license fees back and forth. So on that theme is there any reason TGR can't also run Subaru as a B team?

I think it is something going on in Torsby, Petter is building new workshop.
Hopefully it is something subaru, maybe as a Rally2 in worst case?

Subaru Rally2 doesn't really make sense as they have neither a car nor an engine that could be used.

Rally1 with a Toyota engine and maybe even chassis on the other hand...

I think it all comes down to the next set of regulations of Rally1 to start with. If they'd need to be based on Rally2, then a staright NO is the answer - they don't have a car to build a Rally2 around. If the Rally1 continues to be a prototype class, then there is always the possibility, even if they don't have an engine for it.

Also, Akio Toyoda just got a ride in a WRX STi in Japan:

But almost certainly this means nothing.

Does anybody believe Subaru is happening without Toyoda's input?

Toyota shares its engine and everything else is Subaru's effort. Frame, suspension, transmission, aero are all doable..
