Evo's used to do very well in WRC about 5 years ago.. Dont forget about the Puegot 206

They are officially called lancer WRC 200X and don't even use the 4g63 anymore either. Think of it as a face saving device...

huh... no kidding. lol. Yeah, they use to do well like 5 years ago as someone had mentioned; Tommy M. was driving? Well, since then, it's been Burns, McRae, Soleburg, Gronholm, and Loeb. Please forgive the spelling... darn european names!

I was really bummed when they stopped showing WRC on speed. I hope someone brings it back!

Amazing! I think I saw him paddle shifting. There are paddle shifters on the steering column and when he shifts, you can hear a slight paddle slap noise. And when he hits the paddle, it seems that there is an electronic signal that automatically shifts the shifter on the shift column...?

that video shows the Evo when it's home

it's amazing if u think about it, the Evo is a street spec'ed rally car, but it still dominating on the non-rally motorsports

OK what? PWRC:: last I checked Mitsu won last 3, hmmmmm which is Group N, ...Group A is where Citroen, Peugot, Scoobie and Ford are running good. Wait till 08, mitsu will put the smack down in that as well. And the Group N (WRC) prototype which mitsu ran is NOT an evo, it's an overdone, fast as ****e Lancer...The EVO (as we own them) runs in PWRC not WRC,...just my 2 cents.
