Mitsubishi Lancer WRC05

Here's a picture of Mitsubishi's WRC entry for 2005:

"In October 2003 we announced our team’s three-year turn-around program, namely that in 2004 we would come back to the series with the Lancer and then target podium positions in 2005. For 2006, our aim is to claim the world title again; I feel those objectives are on track", said Isao Torii, President of Mitsubishi Motors Motor Sports.

I am glad that Gilles Panizzi is back...I just wish he is as good on gravel as he his on tarmac. Maybe this year he will prove himself...hopefully the car will give him a fighting chance.

Air ventilation for the driver and co-driver.

It also pressurizes the cabin and thus keeps dust coming in through the door seals.

Panizzi won't be driving this year on gravel; Mitsubishi will probably only use him on tarmac events. Harri Rovanpera has taken over as lead driver and Panizzi will share the second car with Galli.

This confirms that Mitsubishi is getting rid of the ugly middle column/triangle.
