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 2025, these will be the fascinating parameters for another edition of our winter rally 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 Mitsubishi 295 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.
TRACKS
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 50 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.
Infrastructure
The rally center is located directly on the track and is fully equipped with a finnish restaurant, toilet and attached workshop.
