About the 2004 Subaru Impreza
The 2004 WRC season saw
the first ever WRC event to be hosted in Japan, with Rally Japan held in
Hokkaido in early September. It was no surprise that Japanese rally icon, the
Subaru Impreza, had the majority of the crowd?s support as it rushed to the lead
from the outset. With Petter Solberg desperately needing a victory to stay in
contention for his second consecutive drivers title, he didn?t disappoint the
crowd or the Subaru team, leading Rally Japan from start to finish to take his
third victory of the season and move into second place in the drivers
championship. In 2004, Solberg and the 4-cylinder 16 valve turbocharged Subaru
Impreza have dominated the gravel tracks taking out victories in New Zealand,
Greece, Japan and recently in Great Britain.
