After Subaru's works rally team closed its doors at the end of 2008, some people thought it was the end of the road for the WRC Impreza. Fortunately, it looks like the Norwegian-based Adapta World Rally Team will keep the dream alive in 2009.

We're featuring Adapta here in the team section because it's one of the most exciting Manufacturer Team prospects for 2009. But for the moment it's just that - a prospect.
For now we know that Adapta has taken delivery of two latest spec (hatchback) Imprezas from Prodrive - the firm which masterminded Subaru's Rally programme for 15 years. We also know that team principal Morten Ostberg has struck an agreement with Prodrive to help run the cars on WRC events.
Adapta has pledged to run at least one of those Imprezas for 20-year-old Norwegian hotshot Mads Ostberg on eight rounds in 2009. But it remains to be seen if the team will secure a second driver and run as a full Manufacturer Team.
The deadline for registration for the Manufacturer Team competition is 1 March. We'll keep you updated on Adapta's progress here on wrc.com...
