His son Andrew Aquilante will remain as lead driver, with current co-driver Bret Spaude invited to continue to drive for the team. The team won four races in CTSCC competition, in addition to more than 20 races in other divisions.

I really like dogs, but Subaru should spend some of the money they spend on Dog and Love commercials on the SRRT.

WTF....i'm really pissed. Was looking forward to this years Grand-Am. What is Subaru thinking. Someone should write a petition to SOA. How is Subaru going to survive without any competitive racing. What are they going to support Dog sledding now?

Sorry to see you guys leave. Thanks Subaru.

RM_2 · 01-30-2013, 08:32 AM

I was actually looking forward to attending the race at Indy but I guess my plans are now thwarted!

Whiteghost 2.5 · 01-30-2013, 08:43 AM

There will be a BRZ racing soon in the ST class by Rebel Rock Racing so don't give up hope.

07LegacyGT · 01-31-2013, 07:34 PM

i dont see the BRZ doing this anytime soon!

You guys will be missed! Great fun watching you guys take the win at NJMP and performing well Limerock, car looked and sounded fantastic, i hope to maybe see the car in NASA or SCCA maybe? Andrew said he wanted to get all 4 wheels off the ground at LRP...i wanna see that some day haha!

Two wheels off

such a bummer this car won't be in the paddock anymore.... will it be sold, or club raced?

Patrick L · 02-01-2013, 07:50 PM

Joe, you guys still going to finish off the season with the STI or move onto something else? I was looking to come down to COTA to support you guys.

LinsanityFan · 02-02-2013, 09:17 AM

I'm so upset i wrote a complaint letter to Subaru

wrxmike09 · 02-02-2013, 11:28 AM

After watching them on TV for many years I was really looking forward to seeing them at COTA. My e-mail today from Joe confirms they will not be going to COTA or any other races in the Subaru. Good luck to Joe and the team on whatever they do next.

a2cpc · 02-02-2013, 05:26 PM

Just watched the broadcast from Daytona...sad, they had worked themselves up to 4th.

Phoenix Performance · 02-02-2013, 08:22 PM

Thanks all for the well wishes...

The Daytona race was going fairly well.. Andrew worked his way from 25th atthe 30 min mark when he got into the car to 4th 90 min later... We were looking at a top 5 finish... And something happened to 5th gear.

Cars are for sale. They will make great NASA or SCCA stu cars. Call me if you want one.

nismofly · 02-03-2013, 10:27 AM

A return to GM possibly or other plans going to be explored?

scoobyRx · 02-04-2013, 03:22 AM

Sorry to hear this. Glad they were able to bring this car to the races I did see. Hope the cars turn up in SCCA at the Runoffs.
Glad I picked up one of the tshirts at MidOhio last year.

werks04 · 02-04-2013, 11:42 AM

What a huge mistake. Ditch a series that promotes and sells your products. My purchase of a 2012 wrb WRX was heavily influenced by watching the races. Oh well can only hope for a future Subaru team.

Phoenix Performance · 02-05-2013, 07:00 AM

we are working on the next adventure... Biggest challenge is the funding.

Stay tuned and we will let you know what we do next.

meanwhile, if we can help any one with their Subaru issues, just let me know. We don't knopw it all, but we try hard!!!

Lets evry one keep smiling and remember the good days with the sti!!! We really like the light blue color.

We appreciate your support.

We do have a few shirts remaining... Some are in the blue color.

bslate3 · 02-05-2013, 08:22 AM

Just out of curiosity, will y'all be at the COTA race even if it's just to watch?

The reason I ask is I'd love to meet you guys and talk a bit.

RoidRage · 02-05-2013, 03:02 PM

Yeah I am looking for a large black or blue. How do I purchase? Thanks!

wrxracer519 · 02-06-2013, 12:19 PM

I'll take one also. Medium or large

The Duke · 02-06-2013, 12:25 PM

I'd take a blue L/XL...

Phoenix Performance · 02-08-2013, 10:21 PM

Yes we are planning to be at COTA... Stop by and say hi... Always happy to talk about the Subarus...

bslate3 · 02-08-2013, 10:46 PM

SWEET!!! I'll see ya there!

Jesseandchester · 02-13-2013, 07:50 AM

Just getting into this one, big bummer but it's really something to see the class here. Good to see there's still some good left in racing!

whis9 · 02-24-2013, 08:45 AM

Such a shame, in for updates. I followed these guys a lot, my track car is a Nissan 350z and Nissan seems to be giving a lot of support to these guys. I don't think they do rally cars either. One of my mine reasons in supporting Subaru is helping out the little guys in the sport.
