>Subaru is all set for the Global Rallycross Championship (GRC) and the automaker has revealed the drivers for its USA rally team. With its new lineup, it appears that the next season of Subaru in the Red Bull's GRC race will be an interesting one.
The Return Of Chris Atkinson
Chris Atkinson has returned to team Subaru as one of the aces that will be representing the Japanese automaker in this year's Red Bull GRC. It appears that he is really looking forward to another great run as one of Subaru's representatives. "I enjoyed my first taste of rallycross last year with the team, and it's clear to see the potential both the team and car have. I'm excited to come on board fulltime with the squad, and I can't wait to get started. The guys are working so hard in Vermont in the off-season now to really give Patrik and I something very special to drive in 2017," said Atkinson in a report.
Ditching Ford For Subaru
One of the most surprising revelations in the lineup of Subaru's drivers for the next season of the Red Bull GRC is Patrick Sandell's decision to drive the WRX STI supercar for Subaru. According to a report from Torque News, this may go down as the biggest move in the history of Red Bull GRC. Apparently, Sandell has always wanted to be a part of Subaru's team. "To finally be a part of Subaru family is a childhood dream coming true. I was watching Subaru cars rallying all over the world as a kid, and I am now very proud to be in those same shoes," said Sandell.
The Next GRC Season
With Subaru's lineup, its next season in the annual GRC will certainly be interesting. Given the fact that both drivers are very skilled, many people will certainly be expecting big things from Subaru's new duo.
