Subaru would return to the Australian Rally Championship "in a flash" if it could win the title with the new WRX STI, according to Subaru Australia Managing Director, Nick Senior, but the ARC is currently for two-wheel drive cars, a strategy driven by a desire to make the championship more relevant to passenger vehicle manufacturers.
Senior told motoring.com.au:
"We would only go back if the circumstances were right and the circumstances mean we would want to run our performance car, which is the WRX STI."
