Racing against the clock : Naztech Racing EVO IX
(Feature excerpt from becauserc.com which is found by me and my friend
)
Beside being known for rallying, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is well known for its time attack achievement too with notable cars such as the HKS CT230R, Cyber EVO and Tilton Interior’s Racing EVO. Father and son racing team, Naztech Racing decided to build a street registered time attack car using a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX due to its successful track record. We first spotted this Lancer Evolution IX during the ZeroToHundred Time To Attack 2015 Round 2. After finding out more details about them, we were impressed with what we saw and decided to ask for a feature.
Naztech Racing came into existence back in late 2011 when the father, Naza decided that he wanted to move on from go-karts. He decided on taking part in Malaysias Touring Car(MTC) division of the Malaysian Super Series(MSS). When shopping around for a base car to build their racing car, they decided on the ubiquitous Proton Satria Neo because they had access to good resources on how to build one. Hence, a Proton Satria Neo Clubsport was purchased as the base car to be turned into a racing car. After 3 seasons, they have decided to call it quits on MSS because Naza wanted to drive his toy everyday, not 5 events a year. That, coupled with the high cost of operation due to logistics and a 3 day scheduled event made time attacks seem appealing. Because you can drive a street registered car to an event and race, it simplified logistics and associated costs a lot. Besides, you can actually enjoy the car on a daily basis of which Naza does often.
After selling off the Satria Neo race car to a friend, the shopping for a street car to be turned into a time attacker begin. They narrowed down the choices to a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, a Subaru Impreza WRX STI or a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. The GT-R was ruled out first due to its extra weight. Due to its past track record, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution became the obvious choice. Seeing a clean example on sale, they decided to acquire it. After some basic preparation, the getting know a new car process begin at the track.
