The point is that Fiat wasted Lancia’s motorsport heritage in the most brainless possible way; rally and racing were vital to promote Fiat group brands but steadily all their motorsport programs were shut down (there’s only the small 124 Rally operation left) and Abarth, surely one the most vibrant racing department of the world on its golden times, was turned into a tuning company. Only Mitsubishi has done worst; they closed Ralliart in 2010 and completely pull out from motorsport a couple of years later.




I had no clue that Subaru sells 7 times more in the US than in Japan! Sadly the European market means very little to them (even Australia is better) but it’s great to see that Sti is still alive and rockin. Maybe a US WRC round is what Subaru’s board really needs to decide re-entering the series.
In all honesty Mitsubishi financially did not do well even during the rallying days and as far as I know have struggled for decades.

Otherwise I completely agree
