（法新社東京    16日電） 生產速霸陸汽車的日本    富士重工業公司（Fuji Heavy Industries）今天宣布，受到全球金融危機的影響，將於今年底退出世界汽車賽錦標賽。

富士重工社長森鬱夫（Ikuo Mori）在記者會中說：「我們的企業環境迅速惡化。為維護速霸陸品牌汽車的形象，我們被迫做出此一決定。」

森鬱夫在記者會上強忍淚水感謝速霸陸車迷支持。

他指出，全球經濟衰退與汽車銷售量降低，是該公司決定退出這項比賽的主因。

森鬱夫表示，公司原已決定在2009年底退出比賽，但由於企業環境嚴重惡化，因此決定將時間提前。

日本的鈴木汽車（Suzuki）昨天也宣布，不再參加2009年的世界汽車拉力賽，主要原因就是目前的金融危機。

在這兩家汽車公司宣布退出拉力賽前，日本的本田    （Honda）汽車公司也在本月稍早宣布，退出F1一級方程式賽車活動，這個消息震驚各界。

Iconic Subaru quits world rally championship
(CNN)  -- The world rally championship is facing a major crisis after Japanese carmaker Subaru announced on Tuesday that it was quitting the competition ahead of the 2009 season.

Subaru's withdrawal comes just a day after rivals Suzuki pulled out of rallying's premier competition, which has lost one-third of its constructors this week as the global economic downturn bites.

It follows the shock decision of Honda, Japan's second biggest car manufacturer, to withdraw from Formula One.

"Our business environment has been dramatically changed due to the quick deterioration of the global economy," Subaru parent company Fuji Heavy Industries said in a statement released on Tuesday.

"In order to optimize the management resources and to strengthen further the Subaru brand, FHI decided to withdraw from WRC activities at the earliest timing."

Subaru has been one of the leading constructors in the rally championship, helping British drivers Colin McRae and Richard Burns to world titles.

But in recent years its fortunes have waned, with the Citroen team of current world champion Sebastien Loeb and Ford dominating.

Subaru finished a distant third in this year's constructors race.

The team is run by Prodrive, whose chairman David Richards issued a defiant message as the news of Subaru's pull out became public.

"Subaru's departure from the world rally championship is a great loss as it is one of the sport's icons," he told Press Association.

"Although this decision closes a significant chapter in Prodrive's history, our focus now turns to the future."

Richards said that his company hopes to run a team in the 2010 championship when a raft of new technical regulations will be implemented to drive down costs.
