Subaru's off to the races with new STI race car by Auto123.com

After an absence, Subaru has announced that this year will see their return to Canadian rally racing. The Japanese automaker will compete with a 2008 WRX STI race car that will be built in cooperation with Rocket Rally Racing in Squamish, British Columbia. Two race cars will be built- one for racing and the other for promotion and display. Subaru WRC Concept Rally champion Patrick Richard will drive the car for Subaru after the national title in the 2008 Canadian Rally Championship Series. Richard is a two-time Rally America National champion and a two-time Canadian National Champion as well. "I'm very excited that Subaru has decided to return to the Canadian Rally Championship," said Patrick Richard. "Both Rocket Rally and Subaru Canada have a proven track record in North American Rallying, and together we will be aiming to continue that success in 2008." The Canadian Rally Championship Series will be broadcast on TSN across Canada and in Quebec on RDS throughout the year. Photo Credit : Subaru
