No Subaru factory team in this year's SCCA ProRally

Apparently the question is addressed - someone asked Steve Johnson at the NORPAC convention - 'what happens to the series since Mitsu pulled out this year'. |

Ug, I wonder what kind of support privateers are going to get from SOA now.
Damn you Mitsubishi!

The way out is through

I hear the privateer support will still be there, including a Subaru parts truck at the events. Not much contingency money, but then again, I guess there never was much.
This looks like it sucks, but on the other hand, Subaru would just be wasting their money putting a factory team out there to race undisputed. They'd win a manufacturer's title by default, and that's not much to brag about. I'd rather Subaru spend the money on a road race program or something. Then if/when Mits comes back next year, Subaru can spool their Pro Rally team back up as well as keep a World Challenge program or something alive. 'Course, that's all just wishful thinking. Who know what the real plan is.
