The Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT) competed in the World Rally Championship (WRC). It employed a distinctive blue and yellow color scheme as a nod to the sponsorship relationship with State Express 555, a prominent BAT cigarette brand in Asia. From 1993 to 2003, 555 logos were found on Subaru cars, though they have become less common since 1999 due to BAT’s participation in Formula One with British American Racing. Subaru’s WRC efforts date back to 1980, but the team has been in its current form since 1989, when the British firm Prodrive took over its operations and relocated its base from Japan to Banbury, England.
Subaru employed the team to demonstrate its symmetrical all-wheel-drive technology. Its success in the World Rally Championship has been attributed to increased sales of its vehicles, particularly the Subaru Impreza, as well as the popularization of its all-wheel-drive system.
Its drivers for the 2008 season were Petter Solberg and Phil Mills, with Chris Atkinson and Stéphane Prévot as co-drivers. David Richards was the team’s Principal as well as Prodrive’s founder and chairman. The team’s operations director and manager was Paul Howarth. In 2006, he took over for David Lapworth. The team’s managing director is Richard Taylor.
The team has a lengthy history of success, having competed in the WRC for longer than any other manufacturer team in its current form. It has won the manufacturers’ title three times, in 1995, 1996, and 1997, as well as the drivers’ championship three times, in 1995, 2001, and 2003. Its Impreza model set a new record by winning 46 rallies. Due to the general economic downturn, the team withdrew from WRC competition at the end of the 2008 season.
