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.

    Motorsport Information FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), Rally Finland The king of the forests: Sébastien Ogier wins for Volkswagen in Finland Wolfsburg (3 August 2013). Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) claimed their fifth win of the season with Volkswagen in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) – and took a big step towards the World Championship title in the process. 180 km/h through the Finnish forests, jumps of up to 60 metres in length, and all between the ubiquitous trees: the WRC put on a thrilling show for hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic fans in Finland, who saw the overall lead constantly change hands on the first two days of the rally. A sixth triumph for the Polo R WRC in only its eighth rally outing saw Ogier and Ingrassia extend their lead in both the driver and co-driver standings to 90 points. Volkswagen also increased its advantage in the Manufacturers’ Championship. Jari-Matti Latvala/Miikka Anttila (FIN/FIN) finished 17th in the Polo R WRC and contributed six points to the total. Their team-mates Andreas Mikkelsen/Mikko Markkula (N/FIN) ended their home rally in tenth place, earning them one World Championship point. King at the rally of all rallies – Ogier fulfils his dream of winning in Finland The Rally Finland has been taking place since 1951, and Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia this year became only the fifth duo from outside of Scandinavia and Finland to win the rally. 2013 marked the eleventh time that a non-Nordic driver had won this iconic event in the World Rally Championship: in 1990 it was current Volkswagen Motorsport consultant Carlos Sainz (E) and his co-driver Luis Moya who broke the stranglehold of the Finn’s and Swedes for the first time.

  • The Loudon-Clear Guide To… Rally Poland Two Rallies Stand
    The Loudon-clear guide to… Rally Poland Two rallies stand head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the World Rally Championship when it comes to speed. The first one? That’s easy, everybody knows about Finland and its 1,000 lakes. The second? Sweden, maybe? No. Australia, that was fairly quick last year. Wrong again. Poland. This week’s race around the Masurian lakes, 250 kilometres (160 miles) north of Warsaw is not for the faint hearted. It’s super-quick: Finland without the jumps. Last year, the average speed in Poland was 121.41kph (75.44mph) – just four kph (2.5mph) ‘slower’ than the stages around Jyväskylä. Speed and spectators are what this Polish spectacle is all about as fans from across central Europe turn out to watch the fastest go faster. These are the rallies where the crews really earn their stripes. With speeds so high, everything has to be 100 per cent perfect – particularly the relationship between driver and co-driver. Poland’s a place which really sorts the men from the boys. Inside the car, it’s eye-wateringly quick in places, and on the outside it’s an absolute demonstration of what modern rallying at its pinnacle is all about: pace, precision and shocking performance. The rally has been around for a very long time – some reporting it to be the second oldest in the world (after Rallye Monte-Carlo) – with local star Tadeusz Heyne guiding a Dodge to an inaugural Rajd Polski victory in 1921. A regular in the FIA European Rally Championship, this is only the fifth time it has been included in the World Rally Championship.

    BRITISH MOTORSPORT MARSHALS CLUB SAFER MOTOR SPORT MOTOR SPORTS ASSOCIATION RECOGNISED FOUNDED 1957 Issue 5 MAY 2020 Sir Stirling Moss 1929 to 2020 R.I.P. NORTHERN IRELAND REGION MAGAZINE Issue No. 5 MAY. 2020 Cover Story. Sad , sad news with the passing of Sir Stirling Moss ‘the greatest driver never to win the World Championship’. I met him twice , Phoenix Park 1980 where he won his class in the Sports Car race in a 1500cc Elva and at the 2002 British Grand Prix where he signed my Silverstone club baseball hat before roaring off on , of all things , a Lambretta scooter. Cover picture is Moss and Denis Jenkinson after winning and setting a new record on the 1955 Mille Miglia Race. In spite of a number of stops for fuel and tyres Moss covered 1000 miles in just over 10 hours , a remarkable feat. Where it all started 20 year old Stirling racing his Cooper Norton In hill climb events. Less than a year later he would win the 1950 Tourist Trophy race at Dundrod in a borrowed XK120 beating the Jaguar works cars. He would go on to win Dundrod in 1952 driving a C type Jaguar and again in 1955 in the Mercedes 300SLR. Always up for a challenge he joined Sunbeam for the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally and finished 2nd. As the result of an off which cost them 9 minutes. But for this he may well have won the Monte at his first attempt. Moss won a total of 16 Formula 1 Championship races and won 212 races from 375 starts, even more impressive was the fact that when you discount retirements Moss finished almost every race in the top 6 places.
