From the first-generation model and through to Evolution VI "Tommi Makinen Edition" introduced in 2000, the Lancer Evolution series has offered the highest levels of practical performance, driveability, reliability and durability. Over the years, the series has benefited from incorporation of improvements fuelled by feedback from MMC's active and highly successful participation in motor sports. These improvements have driven the on-going "evolution"of the series as an ultra-performance 4-wheel drive sedan with a strong sports-oriented personality; as a fitting base model for an successful competitor in world class motor sports events.

Congratulations to them for a very consistent performance throughout the year and a well deserved award for the hard working car. Editorial Welcome to the second Bulletin of 2016. The Triple-M scene is already up and running and a number of events will be history by the time you read this. I should probably explain why the last Bulletin was late in arriving and why this edition may also be late. The February/March edition was the first produced using new software, a move that was forced on us and meant that Bob could no longer do his editorial magic. It has been a steep learning curve and all the hard work has been done by Lyn Handy who has the misfortune to work with me and made the mistake of showing an interest in the process of producing the Bulletin. She is also an MG owner, albeit a ‘modern’ MGF Trophy. To make up for the lack of UK events through the winter we have another taste of MG life in Australia. This time we have an excellent report from our President on his visit to the Bathurst event last year.

  • John Mulholland Motors Ulster Rally How Can This Be The
    The Loudon-clear guide to… John Mulholland Motors Ulster Rally How can this be the penultimate round of the British Rally Championship already? After a year away, the successful return of British rallying’s top flight has been the talk of 2016. The final two chapters both involve the Irish Sea. The last round runs on one of world motorsport’s most famous islands, the Isle of Man, but this week we’re overflying Douglas for a second trip of the season to Northern Ireland and the Ulster Rally. This rally offers a similar challenge to that of round two, the Circuit of Ireland, with the winner needing to find that perfect blend of speed and precision in what are likely to be some of the most changeable conditions and grip levels of the season. All eyes will, of course, be on Elfyn Evans as he chases a second British title for the Evans’ household, following father Gwyndaf’s 1996 success. But it’s also well worth keeping an eye on what’s certain to be another enthralling installment of the Junior BRC battle as homegrown heroes Rob Duggan and Gus Greensmith attempt to stave off the Nordic challenge of Sindre Furuseth and Mattias Adielsson. The rally ahead… MSA British Rally Championship round 6/7 Date: August 19/20 Based: Ebrington, Derry/Londonderry Service: Ebrington, Derry/Londonderry Stages: 14 Competitive distance: 133.86 miles (215.41km) Liaison distance: 287.69 miles (462.97km) Total distance: 421.55 miles (678.38km) Longest stage: Rousky (SS10/14) 15.88 miles (25.55km) Shortest stage: Butterlope (SS3/6) 4.36 miles (7.01km) Sunrise: 0612
