Weird to see him and that livery on a ford. yea, and thats a big hit to Subaru considering the facetime that Block got them for “cheap”, considering that he hadn’t really done anything yet. :shrug: ---

I read an article (that I will find again and post) that was basically an interview with block. He and ford are not expecting him to win this coming season. This one is all about getting to know the car/cars. There is less variety because of the define of intrest in the last few years. It’s not worth the major companies like Subaru to pay or sponser it. ---

That is a very weird blow off sound the car makes. The variety of cars is low because I think only Ford and Fiat? are continuing sponsors. Hard economic times calls for reduced spending and sponsoring rally teams just doesn’t cut it. ---

Considering Subaru’s name was sort of built off rally racing, it was surprising they dropped out of the WRC. Hopefully they will be able to re-enter with a factory team again in the next few years if the economy rebounds enough. ---

There are a few subaru’s still in the WRC they just happened to be owned and run by private dealerships. ---
