SUBARU STi HARD AT WORK

Subaru’s official team, Subaru Tecnica International (STI) spent part of the weekend of 18 February at the Fuji Speedway, for a tests session devoted to the cars of its twin programme: the 24 Hours of Nürburgring and the Super GT Championship 2012.

In Nürburgring, STI won in 2011 in its category and intends to do that again with the modified WRX.  According to Hideru Tatsumi, team manager, ‘Last year, many people thought we won by pure luck.  We must prove the contrary by winning again!’. The team and drivers Toshihiro Yoshida and Kouta Sasaki  have worked a lot on the weight and centre of gravity of the car, one of the strong points of Subarus, thanks to their boxer engine.

The car will take part at the Nürburgring VLN race before the 24 Hours on 17-20 May.
