Hi all
Sorry for the long time not updating but lots happening
Bought a Mitsubishi Evo 6 RS gravel rally car from Japan and I am converting it to UK Tarmac spec , will do its first rally on Sep 9th in Belgium , I hope it will be dry it seems to pour down with rain every time I go there

The Quattro is proving to be a nightmare , the quattro people are very unhelpful and every thing I need is very ridiculously expensive ,and IF they sell you something they are doing you a great favour .
That's why I bought the EVO 6RS what a great bunch of guys helpful , reasonable prices , great with advice ,I built the car with 4 weeks to spare
The Quattro is going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time project

That's too bad. Hope you get things to work out for you.
I rallied an EVO 0.5 for a few years. It was called the Eagle Talon/ Mitsubishi Eclipse. I don't think it was ever exported outside North America. Closest thing you may be familiar with, would be the Galant VR4.
Came across this video a few minutes ago. A friend asked me to drive his 911 in our local RallyCross series a few years ago. Not the same style of event you are familiar with. We run one car at a time, at about 20 second intervals. Times for all runs are cumulative, plus any penalties (2 sec/cone for example). I'm the faster, smoother driver....
Hi All
Here is my new rally car it is a Mitsubishi Evo 6RS , it goes into action in 4 weeks time in Belgium on the Rally Criterium J L Dumont
I hope it does not rain my last two rallies in Belgium the rain poured down and I crashed out on both with the Porsche , I am hoping 4 wheel drive and a dry rally will get me over the finishing ramp

Hi All
Just got back from the Hannut rally in Belgium before the shutdown of motorsport in Europe ,I was in the EVO6RS great rally in a really great car , The morning was dry the afternoon very wet the car was brilliant in both conditions
We are in lockdown not for at least 12 weeks so I will be able to push on with the Quattro
The GT3 is now rally legal to do rallies in the UK
The RS200 I did a rally stage at a show called Raceretro I forgot how quick that car is

This surfaced earlier this week from 1994 I think of me in my ex Des Winks RSR RallyX car built
by the late lamented Porsche engineer Bob Watson during his time at Dage Motorsport Enjoy the old nail hammering Roger Newbold R reigning UK modified champion in his 2,5 Cosworth powered mid engined Renault 5. In the UK back then, if he finished, he won...not in Ireland though! Enjoy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igKj...-Sti4Lnsug3AIA
Hi and welcome to Rennlist
