Purely from competitive point of view it's great. Better chance for privateers to go for outright wins. For the sport though it's definitely a kick in the pants.

Wont affect the privaters at all....... unless they are getting sponsorship from Subaru....... This doesn't affect WRC or Asia Pacific Rally.

"Firstly, in 2006 we will explore some of the tarmac opportunities for Subaru, and Dean Herridge will be offered a contract to undertake this exploration....."

wonder if he will take it on or try out GrpN WRC.......

i can understand their decision to concerntrate on tarmac activities as most of us do go rallying on gravel (don't have the skill & don't wanna damage the paintwork).

Hopefully with greater client base to share the cost, genuine STI handling performance options will be alot more accessible (& cheaper) to us.

Maybe its more profitable for them to hold a beach volley ball contest in the south of frigging nowhere than hold a rally
