“It’s sad, but from a commercial aspect I get it. Everyone must maintain a sense of commercial reality,” Brooks said.“I don't really know what next year looks like yet, but we will see what presents itself. I may take the opportunity to focus on to my own business.” Like Les Walkden before him, Brooks says he put his ‘heart and soul’ into the program and enjoyed every moment of it, admitted it had taken more time and energy than he had expected. As for Molly Taylor, her future in Australian rallying is still unknown. She’ll be retained as a Subaru brand Ambassador and will participate in a variety of events, including customer promotions, drive days, dealer network and staff functions, but any rally plans for 2020 are still up in the air.
"It's certainly not the news we were hoping for," Taylor said."I'm working on what options are out there, but don’t have any news on that side for now. It's really too early to know the likelihood of what next year holds," she added.
