    New hope for MMSP ?

    http://www.wrc.com/page/News/Breakin...117053,00.html

    It`s a bit too early and optimistic, but it would be good to see Lancer WRC once again this season (maybe even 2008 ?)

    In ideal world (a privately owned ?) MMSP could maybe form a company similar to M-sport.

    Looking forward for further news...(edited) certainly better and happier ones than this very sad period of time has brought so far.

    I think that's excellent news. The Mitsu WRC05 is one of my favorites (especially the look from the front), so I hope to see more of them in the future. And John Easton is a clever guy, he can make it work!

    I too am please to hear of this news.
    I like the Lancer. For a car that wasnt hugley developed, its certainly seems to have a lot of potential. Its still competitive now days, 4??? years after its introduction.

    Good news, I really like the sound of the Lancer, it's a distinctive roar...
    In anticipation of the next corner...

    It would be good if Mitsubishi continue in the WRC.

    The lancer 05 WRC is different from the other WRC cars because the rear spoiler is further foward on the car.

    The Lancer was good looking car but slower than all the others (except Skoda, maybe !).
    If I've understood well, Mitsubishi is going to lose/sell the ownership of MMSP right ? So will they be legally able to keep the cars and rent them in 2008 too ?
    I wonder who want to rent a 4 years old car though ... unless they are improving it (but it didn't seem so from Aava pace in NZ).

    actually they rented the cars for a relatively cheap price, mitsu was i think a good choise for upcoming drivers like Aava and others who needed WRC experience.
    Aja kovaa Pena.
