MITSUBISHI WRC TEAM HEADS HOME

The Mitsubishi Motors Motor Sports WRC Team now heads home, to Japan, for its most important round of the 2005 FIA World Rally Championship season. Rally Japan (September 29-October 2) is the only Asian event in the series and the team will be fielding a three-car entry for the first time this season, underlining the significance it places on the event. Harri Rovanperä/Risto Pietiläinen and Gilles Panizzi/Hervé Panizzi will pilot the two registered Mitsubishi Lancer WRC05s, while “Gigi” Galli/Guido d’Amore will compete in a third factory-run car. The event is also the penultimate round of the FIA Production Car World Rally Championship and a host of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution drivers will be vying for both PWRC and overall Group N honors.
