~ EVOSOUL Spring / Summer Tire Prototype Testing

Hey Guys, I have been spending a few days on the phone and meet up with reps about contributing to some R&D testing for tires coming into north america. Nothing crazy or extreme, just experimenting with different compounds. Looking for a few guys from each Mitsubishi genre, Lancer / Ralliart and EVO X guys.

We will be doing most of the testing at MOSPORT on the DDT track. Cost will be decent. But you will get a chance to burn rubber that isnt yours. So the experience should be worth its weight in gold.

I will be released further details soon after a few more meetings. If your interested and prepared to pay normal going rates for track days and offer up your feedback, please put you name down. There are some sponsorship funds that may offset the cost a bit to make it cheaper. Please keep in mind that there will be a few points that may disqualify you from testing.

* If your car isnt in normal running condition please dont volunteer.
* Only do this if you have at minimum - some track experience. We are looking for people who can tell the honest difference between improvement, and something not feeling right.

Please add your name is your interested and commit to 2 to 3 sessions this spring / summer. There is a winter session, but we only require one or two cars. Plus its winter.... most guys wont risk there car in that weather period.

1. EVOSOUL
2. MOVEOVER

So how does this work? You're gonna have a bunch of tires already mounted on rims? And then you arre just going to bolt wheels on cars thru-out the day? And we just drive the hell out of them on the track and give you feedback on their performance?

That just about sums it up. Certain drivers will be selected for special assignments / tasks.

The MOSPORT DDT is confirmed. Depending on how hardcore we get with the EVO X testing, it might be Big Track worthy

Be careful which people you select to give accurate tire feedback from. I'm not saying I'm an expert cause I'm not but you would want to pick people with creditable track experience and are not newbie with a new powerful car. The DDT track destroys street tires and brakes with our heavy car. Still would be interested to see how they hold up under so much abuse that track dishes out.
I would be interested for some testing and I vouch for TheNEWB's track experience.
