Mitsubishi Motors Corp. has announced its decision to suspend participation in the FIA World Rally
Championship series from 2006. This had been expected as part of the Mitsu. Motors Revitalisation Plan.
However, Mitsu. hopes to return to the WRC Championship from 2008, after the completion of three year revitalisation plan, which covers fiscal years 2005 to 2007. it will however continue to participate in the Dakar Rally.
On a personal note I do not think it would be possible for them to return. they did the same thing in 2002 and are still trying to catch up with the competition. Seems like I will be keeping my for a long time to come.
