Wow. That's not good news.

Only Citroen and Ford left for next years championship.

Does that mean the end of boy racers who fancy themselves in their Subaru's and sometimes end up in take-away shop fronts? ::) ::) ::) ::)

Will they go on to some other "in" vehicle that remains "cool"? :-? 8-) ::)

Sad news indeed. Apparently today is the deadline to register for next season so I wonder what the standing will be tomorrow.   :(

The passing of an age..

Just like no more Escorts in rallying was the passing of another age.

Don't knock em Lizzy. I had a WRX for 2 years. It was the most enjoyable and competent car to drive that I have had - by a long way. And the MV6 is quick (and competent), but not even close to it for 'making progress' on country roads on a nice Sunday afternoon.

I lost interest in rallying years ago when they banned the high powered stuff, cant remember the class, but inslused the lancia rally and intergrali, the 6R4 and the big quatros, some of the cars averaged 400bhp some even touched 600bhp at one point I think.
