The opening round of the 2009 China Rally Championship, the Jiangning Rally, was held between 12-14 June at Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province.  This rally comprised of 11 gravel stages of hard actions all located at the mountains of Jiangning County.  The Subaru Rally Team China (STRC) sent the latest model of Subaru Impreza WRX STI and three Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C, all fitted with Advanti Racing wheels, for this rally.  During the two days of rallying, more than half of the race cars were retired due to the tough terrain.  Li Wei from STRC finished 5^th overall.  The Advanti wheels proved to be durable and enduring wheels in any challenging road conditions.
