On the 26 - 28 October 2007 FIA World Rally Championship in Tokachi, Hokkaido (Japan), the new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X will be used as a course car. The course car or also known as “Double Zero” or “Zero” cars will be driven through the rally track prior to the race to check the conditions. Double zero will depart 30 minutes before the race cars whereas Zero cars will depart 15 minutes before the race cars.
Meanwhile Mitsubishi is expected to obtain the Group N homologation from the FIA (Federation International de L’Automobile) for the actual Lancer Evolution X WRC by mid next year with the new rally challenger taking part in international rallies during the second half of 2008 or 2009.
Mitsubishi and Ralliart will jointly develop the race car version and we’ll expect to see reinforced chassis, full roll cage, constant-mesh close-ratio gearbox, a sump-guard, floor guard with fuel tank protection, mud flaps, five-point safety harnesses, bucket seats and a competition steering wheel on the final competition cars.
