in the wrc, its how to listen to your co-driver for track details, and up to your experience on how to attack the coming track.. only 310 Hp, but with lots of torque courtesy of a turbocharger, it looks like its not enough, it really depends on the 2 drivers.
i really agree that rally is the true automobile sport, fuck the drag race, that's all about the engine power not even tiny bit of handling and driver's skills.
In every stage of rallying japan has been on the scene this was a true competitor for japan. but its time to let the kid have some fun The Suzuki SX4!!!!!
I have always understood that this was the main reason why Makinen went to Subaru because he did not like the newer platform , the evo 7 and unward.Good looking car but not as competitive as their earlier group A based lancers.
Tommi himself had said, that he could have won the 2001 Championship with the old Group-A Lancer, since it still had enough pace to gather good point scoring finishes on the remaining rallies (as long as he just would have finished the rallies instead of making stupid mistakes, like he did on Rally Finland 2001). But Ralliart was under pressure from Mitsubishi HQ to bring the new WRC Lancer into the completition as soon as possible and FIA was also starting to get impatient, since Ralliart had asked extra licence time for their Group A Lancers since 1997 (that year the WRC regulations were introduced), so that they could use Lancer's already excellent stock car platform for many years to come. And I'm very gutted about it, as I think that the dramatic crash on Rally Corsica 2001 with the new but troublesome WRC Lancer, softened Tommi a bit. He never really was the same man again after that, and that huge crash in Rally Argentina 2002 was the final blow to his comfort with completing on rallies.
Another problem is that once Makinen left the team struggled. The cars were largely built around him though Burns did really well despite that fact. I still like the team but I think it could have done better. I agree with you on that crash. I think he was waiting until the contract was up and then start his own thing.
@@michaelhorgan9525 Really stupid for Mitsubishi to build the team around Tommi, and all because of a quirk with the Evo. I mean, all that needed to happen was Makinen to leave the team, and all of a sudden, Ralliart is lost. Mitsubishi's time in the WRC, as well as Citroën's 2019, is proof that the manufacturer’s title is more important than the driver's title.
Lancer/Carisma GT- 1st car, Evo VII for the second. Though they are both based on the Lancer, but you got specific, and the heep of boredom you refer to as the Lancer OZ rally Editions shares little relation with the machines here.
sorry mate meant the thums up. and the reason ralliart quit running wrc lancers is because mitzi wanted them to it ws too expensive to run the wrc and group n car and the group n car made money. both scooby and evo are so evenly matched now that its down to the drivers preferences and colour cos obviously red cars are faster.
tommi makinen wasnt doing good with mitsubishi, so he switched to subaru. he won some rallys with them. he was older though and retired a couple years later.
you are correct... i guess i was typing too fast without realizing what i said.. as OZ rally has nothing to do with it as it is only a Package (rims, body kit) that comes with the lancer.... i simply meant it's a regular lancer.. not an evo lol
well those companies are doing a bit better because they have hatches and not sedans. now that subaru have their hatch in a couple years or so they should start doing very good again.
subaru dont do the dakar rally. d1 is just tuning companies using the car. like cusco. not subaru. in time attack yes the red hks evo is fast, but if they made an sti the same way it would be just as fast. circuit races again are just tuning companies unless you mean like best motoring and i have seen sti beat evos many times there.
the rallying version of lancer is very highly tuned lancer designed for rallying. It has 2.0 liter engine but way more powerful engine than the lancer evolution. Lancer Evolution is made so that people can buy it and enjoy it on public roads, but it still can run like the rallying car because it has the options for tarmac, gravel, and snow. So lancer evolution is pretty much downgraded version of the rallying version of Mitsubishi Lancer.
no matter who is driving the impreza wrc it is usually faster than the lancer wrc. and no it isnt just prodrive. it is mitsubishi and their rally team ralliart in wrc. so yes they did wrc (until they quit). and pretty much all the parts are not mitsubishi in circuit racing. they are from tuning companies like hks. and you make it sound like everybody uses evos and they dont their are stis too. the evo isnt crap when you tune it because most parts arent from mitsubishi.
he was younger and better when he drove for mitsubishi. he did better than 8th. also it was a very different car than he was used to. he wasnt doing good with mitsu. so thats why he switched to subaru. thats how crap mitsu are. as i said he was the only reason mitsu achieved anything. without him they are nothing. he was older when he drove for subaaru and needed to retire. thats why he quit. also i thought we were comparing subaru and mitsu not subaru and others.
yeah they do. they certainly own mitsubishi. they have won many more rallys than them. mitsubishi even quit wrc because thier crappy cars wernt selling and because they were getting beat by everyone.
lol. thats all you could say. i guess just because i proved that mitsubishi isnt good means i dont have a life? nice unoriginal comeback with that closet thing. heard it before somewhere.
what other races? mitsu sucks. sti has a little understeer because it gives you better corner exit.subaru has many titles too and the only reason mitsu won drivers titles is because tommi makinen was a good driver. without him mitsu cant win shit. they even quit rally because nobody wants to buy their crappy cars and because they were getting beat by subaru. so you fail. not me.

one of the nicest looking wrc cars ever made

thats a sick combo of driver and car. gives me shivers

My favorite rally cars; the Lancer and the Suzuki Escudo
i saw an amazing replica of that one... :)
mitsubishi lancer evo
This car was converted into a lancer evolution or not.
The best grip tyres 😍😍😍
sohlberg drives for mitsu too?
Awesome video

SOUND IS SO ORGAZMIC!
damn thats a huge wing
Lancer/Carisma GT- 1st car, Evo VII for the second. Though they are both based on the Lancer, but you got specific, and the heep of boredom you refer to as the Lancer OZ rally Editions shares little relation with the machines here.
excellent driving, music to my ears
lol. this is the only mitsubishi vid that i watched. what other races are you talking about?
Magnifique
sorry mate meant the thums up.
and the reason ralliart quit running wrc lancers is because mitzi wanted them to it ws too expensive to run the wrc and group n car and the group n car made money.
both scooby and evo are so evenly matched now that its down to the drivers preferences and colour cos obviously red cars are faster.
what for did they test STEP2 Lancer, having new WRC car?
superbes passages du fou Gilles Panizzi great french pilote good good
not all parts in the impreza wrc are from prodrive. most are from sti.
és en gigi galli i estava provant que el Mitsu es creués bé a les curves.
This car did get a few podiums which isn't bad but no victories.
tommi makinen wasnt doing good with mitsubishi, so he switched to subaru. he won some rallys with them. he was older though and retired a couple years later.
hoping that mitsu will retutn.
it was based on evo VIII, altrough whole body was different, secnd one was the first mitsubishi's wrc car, and it was based on evo VII
who´s the test driver?
you are correct... i guess i was typing too fast without realizing what i said.. as OZ rally has nothing to do with it as it is only a Package (rims, body kit) that comes with the lancer.... i simply meant it's a regular lancer.. not an evo lol
lancer wrc is built based on lancer sedan, not an evo though it has 4g63.
mitsubishi for life
Thats a Lancer OZ Rally Not an evo... SICK ass driving!!
on the WRC website.. mitsubishi isnt ther.
Which evo is that based on? Doesnt look like a 10 or a 9
impactblue573 The first in the video is based on a lancer and the other evo 7
nope solberg drove a celica for half a rally then ford and the subaru and now his own privte citroen
@kjsh987 panizzi..!
What place is this?
Catalunya i guess
nice sound but i prefer the sound of GROUP B
Precioso :D
well those companies are doing a bit better because they have hatches and not sedans. now that subaru have their hatch in a couple years or so they should start doing very good again.
Cool wHip! :D
ok. Thx. fr tellin me.
damn this looks like it will kill my subaru
subaru dont do the dakar rally. d1 is just tuning companies using the car. like cusco. not subaru. in time attack yes the red hks evo is fast, but if they made an sti the same way it would be just as fast. circuit races again are just tuning companies unless you mean like best motoring and i have seen sti beat evos many times there.

So lancer evolution is pretty much downgraded version of the rallying version of Mitsubishi Lancer.
so you "beat that"
at least your honest.
also since 2005 (after that mitsu quit because as i said they suck) subaru won 47 or so rallys while mitsu only won around 34)
so annoying when crappy websites put their url accross videos. id never go on the website now just becuase its pissed me off
rally = true skills
gigi galli maybe
if evos are used more there that is the reason why they have more titles.
subaru 3 manufacturers titles. mitsubishi 1.. subaru 47 rallys won. mitsubishi 34.
sti is subaru. so most parts are subaru.
no matter who is driving the impreza wrc it is usually faster than the lancer wrc. and no it isnt just prodrive. it is mitsubishi and their rally team ralliart in wrc. so yes they did wrc (until they quit). and pretty much all the parts are not mitsubishi in circuit racing. they are from tuning companies like hks. and you make it sound like everybody uses evos and they dont their are stis too. the evo isnt crap when you tune it because most parts arent from mitsubishi.
hey thats a lancer evoltuion. not a lancer.
everyone want :)
the car that killed mitsu back in the days
cant be more then a drift team -_- haha
he was younger and better when he drove for mitsubishi. he did better than 8th. also it was a very different car than he was used to. he wasnt doing good with mitsu. so thats why he switched to subaru. thats how crap mitsu are. as i said he was the only reason mitsu achieved anything. without him they are nothing. he was older when he drove for subaaru and needed to retire. thats why he quit. also i thought we were comparing subaru and mitsu not subaru and others.
what im saying is if you put the same person in an impreza wrc and a lancer wrc the impreza would be faster.
the spoiler is so ugly
lol. yes subaru beating mitsubishi at wrc is reality.
yeah they do. they certainly own mitsubishi. they have won many more rallys than them. mitsubishi even quit wrc because thier crappy cars wernt selling and because they were getting beat by everyone.
kwut jdm lololol initiald dorifto
tommy makinen
English please lol
joking
lol. thats all you could say. i guess just because i proved that mitsubishi isnt good means i dont have a life? nice unoriginal comeback with that closet thing. heard it before somewhere.
lol. tell me how i fail. mitsubishi is fail. subaru have won many more rallys than them. also subaru are much better cars.
2005 wrc lancer is the ugliest lancer in the history of wrc(imho!)
what other races? mitsu sucks. sti has a little understeer because it gives you better corner exit.subaru has many titles too and the only reason mitsu won drivers titles is because tommi makinen was a good driver. without him mitsu cant win shit. they even quit rally because nobody wants to buy their crappy cars and because they were getting beat by subaru. so you fail. not me.
i do and i see subaru winning. mitsubishi is crap.
thats because mitsubishi suck and they quit.
