SUBARU RALLY TEAM CANADA

For the fourth year running, Subaru Rally Team Canada members are
getting set to launch an attack on the Canadian Championship. On-board for 2004 are reigning 2003 Canadian Champion driver Tom McGeer and 2002 Champion Patrick Richard. The SRTC, will campaign 2 vehicles in 5 of the 6 event CRC Championship.

Subaru Canada has been very supportive of rallying over the past 12
years and enters their thirteenth campaign looking to win their sixth
Manufacturers Championship and fifth in a row. This would tie Subaru
for the most consecutive Manufacturers tiles with Toyota who won five
from 1977 - 1982.

With the Canadian championship reduced to six events in 2004, the team is working hard to prepare their vehicles. The SRTC will campaign one car at Round 1, Rallye Perce Neige, then take the next few months to prepare for the balance of the season. Plans to build a new Open class WRX STi for reigning and 6-time Canadian Champion, Tom McGeer are complete, and he will debut the new car in October of 2004, at the Pacific Forest Rally.

The Subaru Rally Team (SRTC) here in Canada, continues to receive
corporate support for 2004 from companies such as, Globalstar™
Satellite Communications, Mobil 1 Lubricants and OMP Racewear. The
SRTC supports local Ronald McDonald™ House Children’s Charities across Canada.

cool. The rotors must be smaller than the stock STi. I wonder how they wrap 15" wheels around them if they are not.

Braking performance and efficiency are much less crucial in a rally car that is not setup for tarmac, hence one of the reasons they can get away with small sized brakes.

For an open class car, it doesn't seem to be very "sophisticated"...

Yeah, I was at Centaur when they took it off the truck. Wasn't overly impressed. Look like they gutted it and beefed up the suspension... the rest of it looked like a stock 2004 STi.
