After Lancia, a spectacular return to the world of rallying? ‘It’s very likely…’


After Lancia, which has opened to return to the rally, another car manufacturer with past glory on dirt and tarmac may soon return again.

We are talking precisely Subarua Japanese brand that made all fans fall in love with its old story Blue Impreza with gold rims led by the late Colin McRae. At the moment the world rally championship is far from the glory of the past, as the legend Cesare Fiorio, the protagonist of the challenge between Lancia and Audi, recently recalled.

So far the official houses have been reduced to bare bones and Toyota and Hyundai to divide the area, and Ford and Skoda more than that. The old flagships are gone, from the aforementioned Lancia, to Subaru. But as it was said at the beginning, things could change soon and after the Italian brand opened back up, even the Japanese say they are optimistic.

Hiromi Tamouthe new head of the STI performance division of the company, spoke to Subaru Motorsport Magazineand about the possibility of returning to the meeting he said that “most likely”, adding: “The meeting is very important for Subaru and for fans around the world“, showing that any decision it must first be approved by Subaru’s board of directors.

Ms What car can Subaru use? by going back to the meeting? So far, there is no suitable car in the competition, so cooperation with Toyota for one cannot be ruled out. Yarisribs” Subaru, although it cannot be determined that a special model will be created specifically for motorsport.

The most reliable assumption is that earnings will take place in 2027, When the FIA ​​introduces new WRC regulations that will be less restrictive than the current ones. We await further information on this matter.
