I have absolutely forgot about my blog.
Another vital bend has forced me to concentrate all forces and attention to other problems. But problems leave, and Subaru remains, therefore - restart!:)
During my absence in subaworld there were many events, but I would not name them very interesting or joyful.
In Japan has started the sale of Subaru Exiga which has not sting me absolutely.
In the world championship has debuted new Impreza - however, it is not a joyful news as while its speed do not impress too much at the moment.
Anyway, let's not dig in out-of-date news, let's look forward.
And ahead we have the World championship on rally of 2009, which calendar was confirmed by FIA recently.
In the list were included again rally of Norway, Cyprus, Portugal and Australia. Monte Carlo, Sweden, Mexico, Jordan, Turkey, Germany, New Zealand, France (Corsica) and Japan have dropped out.
The beginner of 2009 is rally of Poland.
I will remind that modification in the list of the countries occurs on a new "policy of rotation", for raising the interest to WRC. Only two stages of the championship of 2009 will be completely asphalt - rally of Ireland and Spain.
And here are news on the same theme:
Double-ply world champion Markus Gronholm (Marcus "Bosse" Gronholm) last week has tested Subaru Impreza WRC2008 and on a test site has won 3 seconds against Solberg (Petter Solberg) and Atkinson (Chris Atkinson).
How is this news to you? For a long time I have a sensation that "fighting" Impreza is capable to go much faster, it was just unlucky with its pilots.
By information from a source in the Prodrive the test has passed on one of the special places of the forthcoming rally of Great Britain. By a not confirmed information in the test also participated Andreas Mikkelsen and Urmo Aava. Director of the team Subaru - Richard Taylor has refused to give any comments.
