WINTER RALLY TRAINING IN FINNLAND
Arctic cold, perfectly prepared routes and the most agile production all-wheel drive vehicle, the 295 hp Mitsubishi Lancer EVOLUTION. Starting end of January 2024, these will be the fascinating parameters for another edition of our snow & ice winter training in the Arctic Circle near Rovaniemi/Finland.
VEHICLES
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
Sporting success is hereditary. Some have them, others don't.
Mitsubishi Motors has them – the genes that mean success in motorsport.
On the road and on the rally track.
During the winter training, we will be driving what is probably the best production all-wheel drive vehicle, which has been the benchmark in the Group N World Rally Championship for years, with the latest evolutionary stage from Mitsubishi295 hp Lancer Evolution.
Spike tires
To really show off the Lancer EVOLUTION's active all-wheel drive, the car is driven with Swedish spikes, shot and glued into 18-inch high-performance winter tyres.
TRACK
Around 50 kilometres from Rovaniemi, arctic temperatures heat up on the largest training grounds in Finland.
The 358 hectare area includes a total of over 20 kilometers of tracks, divided into various lake, handling and forest circuits.
The highlights are the challenging 10 kilometer long swamp & lake tracks and the 3.3 kilometer long Super Speziale on which 2 vehicles can start side by side.
