New Subaru scoops WRC award..
For those who follow and dont follow WRC, here some awesome news!!

Quote unquote WRC statement:
Subaru’s decision to launch its new Impreza WRC2008 at this weekend’s Acropolis Rally of Greece - the roughest round in the FIA World Rally Championship - was always going be a calculated risk.
But, after 339.94 competitive kilometres of some of the most formidable terrain seen in a series round for years, Norway’s Petter Solberg steered the team’s newest recruit to an incredible - and well-earned - second place finish in the seventh round of the WRC season.
And the team’s boldness has scooped them the ‘Abu Dhabi Spirit of the Rally’ award, which recognises parties demonstrating the same values that the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, stands for; respect, innovation, integrity and teamwork.
One of rally’s most iconic teams, Subaru, expects the new Impreza WRC2008 to catapult them back to the sport’s forefront - which in recent years has been dominated by BP-Ford and Total-Citroen World Rally Teams.
“It is a great honour to accept this award as recognition of the successful debut of Subaru’s new Impreza World Rally Car, the WRC2008. We have all worked very hard to bring it here to Greece, and especially after today we are very confident that it will mark a new era for the team and Subaru, taking us back to our winning ways” said Ikuo Mori, President and Chief Executive Officer of Subaru’s parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.
Congrats to Mr. Mori Ikuo and the entire SWRT!!
