Will take part in SCCA's ProRally Championship [20/01/03 - 19:22]
Mitsubishi is attacking the
North American rally scene
ven though it is not part of the 2003 World Rally Championship, Mitsubishi isn't taking a year off. Indeed, Mitsubishi Motors Anglo-American Rally Team will compete in the SCCA ProRally Championship, whose opening round is this week-end in beautiful northern Michigan.
The two Team Mitsubishi Motor Sport America Lancer Evolution rally cars will be driven by two champions on all nine rounds of the 2003 SCCA ProRally Championship, together with the Rallye International de Quebec (a round of the Canadian Rally Championship) on Feb 26-March 2. They will be driven by reigning overall SCCA ProRally Champion, British driver David Higgins and his co-driver Daniel Barritt, and the reigning two-wheel drive SCCA ProRally Champions, American driver Lauchlin O'Sullivan and his veteran co-driver Mark Williams.
The new structure's president will be Vermont SportsCar's president Lance Smith while John Kennard will be its Team Manager. Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) has increased its involvement in the SCCA ProRally Championship for 2003, and unveiled its new rally team - which has the full support of Mitsubishi Motor's performance arm Ralliart - at the recent Los Angeles Motor Show.
Pierre Gagnon, MMNA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “The Lancer Evolution represents the essence of the Mitsubishi brand and, in its street legal form, has the highest thrill for dollar ratio on the planet. With the Lancer Evolution's incredible performance and uncompromising pedigree as a champion racer on the World Rally circuit, it was natural for Mitsubishi's to choose the SCCA ProRally Championship to showcase our company's passion for competition and engineering excellence to North American enthusiasts.”
