Description
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.
