Unravel me at the seams and feed me to the sky

Subaru are pulling out of the World Rally Championship with immediate effect.

David Richards, the boss of the Prodrive company that runs Subaru's efforts in the WRC, was saddened by the decision which brings to an end a 20-year association.

"Subaru's departure from the World Rally Championship is a great loss as it is one of the sport's icons," said Richards, who helped Prodrive win six WRC titles.

Twenty years, they've been in the WRC for longer than I've been fucking breathing. I really feel completely lost; I'm now just waiting for more teams to fold because of the financial crisis, and trust me they'll be more. Honda pulled from F1, Suzuki and Subaru from the WRC, I don't think it'll be long before Toyota go and Renault have been making noises about withdrawing from F1.

And circuits are in deep shit because their respective governments won't back them (despite the fact that only China registers a loss on its Grand Prix) and of course whenever a new circuit makes a bid for a Grand Prix (i.e. Bulgaria and South Africa) Bernie turns his fucking nose up because they won't pay what he wants. And he only wants the money to pay off his own debts.

People with fandoms exempt from financial crisis you have no idea how lucky you are because right now I just feel like utter shit because I am watching the one thing I've always had, ever since I can remember fall apart around me.

you have failed on the internet, f1, wrc, woe, subaru
