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!

Rev. Maynard · 10-30-2007, 03:09 PM

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!

MuddyREX · 10-31-2007, 08:50 AM

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

ozthunder · 10-31-2007, 10:09 AM

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

Where are you guys downloading the feed from? I have about a year and a half to catch up on..

MuddyREX · 10-31-2007, 10:59 AM

Speed channel used to carry a lot of it, and I never seem to see it anymore.

olmytsi · 10-31-2007, 01:53 PM

day 1, gronholm:

"how upset are you?"
"a bit right now, but how much i dont know. [pause] a lot, in fact. ****!!"

hahaha, please tell me i'm not the only one who was cracking up. that just came out of nowhere... he's nuts.

Vypurr · 10-31-2007, 05:57 PM

It's gonna be a shame to see him retire this season

peteyturbo · 11-06-2007, 06:52 PM

The paltform is too large with too much overhang..

**TROLL** · 11-06-2007, 06:53 PM

peteyturbo · 11-06-2007, 06:55 PM

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

peteyturbo · 11-06-2007, 07:02 PM

I kind of lost intrest in rally after around 99-00..Group b rally footage and group b cars climbing pikes peak is what floats my boat. no restrictor ftw

ozthunder · 11-06-2007, 08:18 PM

You mean Walter Rohrl. lol

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