Andy Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Bit of a shocker! Seems to be a glimmer of hope that they may return in 2010 though. Not sure it will be the same without Subaru, even though their new car is http://www.swrt.com/news/latest_news.html?id=1590 Quote
Lexx Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 So many manufacturers puling out of sports. Honda gone from F1 Seat gone from BTCC And now this. I suppose if you cant shift the cars from the showroom, then moneys gotta be saved somewhere Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I belive Suzuki pulled out too and it was their 1st year at the top flight... Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 At this rate I can't see there being a WRC championship next year. Who's left now - Citroen and Ford? Quote
MrLizard Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 having just brought one you may have remembered mitsubishi ? They want to use the X in 2009 also rumours on toyota but ive no idea what with... Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 having just brought one you may have remembered mitsubishi ? They want to use the X in 2009 also rumours on toyota but ive no idea what with... Fair comment Could be in for a good chance of winning too Quote
MrLizard Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 i suspect so they dont usually enter unless they have a good chance of winning petter solberg and the crazy australian will be looking for seats as well, though im unsure if mitsu will beat ford next year as ford have about 8 cars running under different guises.

Rob_Quads Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 There is talk that prodrive are one of the companies looking to buy the Honda F1 which could explain why Prodrive are pulling out of WRC (Prodrive being behind much of the Scooby team) Quote
M350ZB Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Seems like this is a way alot or car makes are going, good for them i suppose in one way to help them out, but bad as such as such things like rally, people can relate to the cars,,,,,,,,, going to be a very intresting 2009 Quote
M13KYF Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 scooby have been struggling for a while. Its a shame but they need to get back to the force they were once before. If that takes some time out to do that then in the long run it will be good Quote
H5 Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Fingers crossed motorsport doesn't start disappearing.... Quote
Ebized Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Fingers crossed motorsport doesn't start disappearing.... +1 The signs are not good Quote
Sarnie Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Fingers crossed motorsport doesn't start disappearing.... Anything ultra expensive, especially sport, will begin to feel the pinch. No one is exempt from the current climate........ Quote
