Bad news for Subaru. Sad to see 'em go myself.

Don't have acces to WRC news...but does this mean that Subaru will switch to Michelins? And I thought Pirelli would still remain in WRC but as BF Goodrich? Am I wrong r right?

wrong- Michelin will remain in WRC as BF Goodrich, one of Pirelli's major reasons for leaving
They consider BF to be an inferior brand and are only interested in fighting with michelin, and not BF.

may be we can see solberg comeback to glory days fighting for the tittle next year so he will be staying with subaru till 2009.
