After years of not being in the championship and focusing on more economical cars it seems Mitsubishi saw a doorway back into the biggest competition of the rally world. It also seems they've chosen a new path when it came to the vehicle....I love the news being a big Mitsubishi guy and Im wondering..Will Subaru return to the WRC as well?

It's nice but why does every rally car look the same nowadays. Take a look at group B with the Audi S1 and the ford rs200.

I would doubt it, although Subaru said they pulled out due to economic pressure, the super 2000 rules don't allow for them to use their boxer engine or any of their technology so there is no reason for them to try and race again.

They are still allowed to race group N with the sti, but that doesnt have the coverage or the money to attract drivers and television rights.
