Debut Win For Subaru 2008 STi

Subaru Rally Team Canada duo, Alan Ockwell and Patrick Richard, won their race decisively last weekend. It was a debut race for the 2008 Subaru STi. It was the first overall win in North America rallying for the team.

Richard said:

“I am pleased to see that we’ve started off the new partnership with Subaru Canada with the absolute best result possible. We still have more work to do but this means that we are in a great position for the overall championship. The team worked really hard and this is a great way to start off.”

It was the first time Ockwell had stood on the very top of the podium. He said:

“I’ve been rallying a long time, and I’m fortunate to be part of this hard working team that not only has brought the first North American victory to Subaru with a brand new 2008 Impreza WRX STi, but also the first victory of my career. I hope that this is the first of many more victories.”
