Subaru wins Sony Playstation WRC team challenge.

In a tightly fought battle between the World Rally Teams and the Welsh Rugby Union on PlayStation 2's WRC World Rally Championship, the Subaru World Rally Team grasped the lead and pushed determined rivals Skoda Motorsport and the Welsh RFU team in to a close second and third.

As the tension builds prior to the Network Q Rally of Great Britain happening this weekend (22-25 Nov) and the Wales V Australia Rugby Union International on Sunday, Wednesday's challenge was an ideal way to stoke the rivalry.

Despite determined efforts from the rugby and Skoda camps, neither team could match the blistering pace of Subaru's nominated World Rally Driver and former Norwegian Radio Controlled Car Champion Petter Solberg, who finished an impressive 10 seconds ahead of second place contestant and Skoda protege Roman Kresta.

The Network Q Rally of Great Britain gets underway from Cardiff this evening and runs until Sunday 25th November.
