Hey, I just finished watching WRC Japan, and I gotta say I am soooo disappointed with Subaru.

Why can't they win? Is it because their platform is too big compared to Ford and Citroen? Are their drivers just too aggressive?

I am just so annoyed. It seems like every event, Subaru comes out strong, then one by one, every driver destroys their car!

I just DL'd all 3 days of Japan, I'll probably watch them Friday when I'm off from work.

Subaru has had bad luck for the past 2-3 years in WRC, Solhberg and that australian guy (Atkinson?) are either wrecking or the cars are breaking and alot of times the cars break on the same day/same stage/same part. Very frustrating to watch. Hell i even thought Solhberg was going to leave. I'm sure their time to dominate will come someday...

It's just annoying that the STi/Lancers are so big compared to the competition. Those cars are running such better times, while the big ass STi's are crashing in ever single round!

It's OK. Soon, we'll have a smaller car to represent Subaru. Hatch ftw!

It's not only the car, but the drivers.

I really wanna see Subaru do well, but at this point it looks like a lost cause for this season, and next year is all about re-building since it looks like Ford is gonna get Petter. Hopefully Atkinson will continue to step it up for Subaru. Losing Solberg and McRae in the same year really hurts a race team :(

Marcus Gronholm definitely says some random **** when he is a lil stressed, i usually look forward to his post-stage interviews.

Im not sure if they showed the 08 group N car from Rally Japan. It was the 0 car right before everyone coming through the stage. But here is the video if your interested.
