Bad news

I wonder if this will have any implications on the development of their road cars?

How long before Ford pulls the plug as well....not long I suspect!

Adapta World Rally Team sticks with Subaru for 2009
The Adapta World Rally Team has pledged to run at least one Subaru Impreza WRC2008 in the WRC in 2009 but its plan to be registered as a Manufacturer Team might be scrapped because of Subaru

I think this is really bad news for rallying but hopefully i believe they are returning in 2010 with a new car because of new technical changes being introduced so spending 2009 on R&D..........glad i saw them in the Wales Rally GB this year but doubt if i will go next year.....save up and go in 2010 i think.......i wonder what their drivers will do next year??

So what ill happen with Prodrive and Dave Richards? With him already shopping for someone to sell a stake of Aston to, and 600 jobs there about to go, I hope Prodrive have enough R&D work to keep them afloat during this sales dip.

It is a shame but understandable.
