Should Subaru Make More Team Changes?

ParkerSTi · 03-29-2006, 03:09 PM

Once again Spain was not a good race for Subaru. They gained manufacturer points but as far as being close to the podium...

Any comments on a different tire manufacturer or does Subaru have enough problems right now without addressing that issue?

PS: Still hoping Petter can move up in the points, but I don't see the leaders pulling over to help in that effort.

it's kinda sad to admit ... but Pirelli tires just doens't seem to be competetive enough against the Michelin/BF Goodrich tires ... in 2005, Peugeot ran Pirelli too .... but in 2006 ... Subaru is the only team to run Pirelli ...

2006 Mexico showed the Pirellis gravel tires to be inferior to the BF Goodrich ... 2006 Spain shows tarmac tires to be inferior to the BF Goodrichs ...

and also .. the Xsara appears to be a better built car ... aside from a few freak accidents ... the Xsara has been nearly indestructible over the past 2-3 years while the Impreza WRC constantly has problems ...

Well after 5 races Petter is down 36 points from the lead, I think it's safe to say no driver's championship this year for the Subaru team. Unless the rest of the field dies in crashes, just kidding!
