WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP 2008
Wrc2009
Makes Debut
behOLD, the neW 2008 Impreza WRC. by
the time you read this, the new car will already
have competed in anger and we will have a
better idea if the new car will be the salvation
of the sWRt, or another disappointment.
The subaru World Rally team has had a
tough go of things over the past few seasons
and has had to claw every single podium finish
out of a faltering chassis and a huge case
of bad luck. however, the team appears confident
that this brand-new chassis will prove
to be the saving grace of subaru’s World Rally
efforts.
earlier spy shots have suggested at a
McPherson-strut suspension in the rear instead
of a multi-link and a front-mounted intercooler
setup.
as we write this, the team is gearing up
for the acropolis Rally in Greece. The fate of
the subaru rally world hangs in the balance,
watch this space for updates. <
