LOL Subaru and F1

Oh my gosh, today I learnt that Subaru once tried their hand at F1. I don't particularly care for F1 being a rally man but when I heard this I thought it was quite funny. Apparently they were quite unsucessful though.

I had never heard this before and thought it was kind of interesting and thought I would share it

most F1 spoilers look like that...

the only thing "weird" about that car is where the cooling intakes are (the pipes behind the side mirrors). Most cars now have that above the driver's head

When Subaru did that car most were still down there. Dig the funky 80's primary colors.

I don't think Prodrive had anything to do with it, the team name is "Coloni" and apparently they still race in F3000, not with a subaru of course though.

So, who's down for going in halves with me on welding 3 EJ20Ts together and building a 6.0 liter, triple turbo V12 to stuff in a slightly modified RS?
