Last year around the same time Subaru announced that it exits the World Rally Championships. Subaru had participated in the WRC for nineteen years, and the official reason was that they had achieved its goals in the sport, while also citing the global economic downturn for its decision.

Unfortunately we can’t see Subaru back on WRC, but the good news is that Subaru registered for the 2010 series of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC).

The IRC is a series of international rally challenges that began in 2007, and consists of existing rally events that are held across four continents.  The Group N class, where the Impreza WRX STI belongs, and the S2000 are the main types of vehicles used to race in the event.

The series is organised by Eurosport - Europe’s largest TV channel - and all teams that race in a vehicle produced by an officially registered manufacturer are featured in extensive coverage broadcast by Eurosport. Manufacturer’s points are allocated with the results of every race and announced on official IRC records.
