Years of experience in the most extreme races, from the World Rally Championship to the Dakar have enabled a Mitsubishi to accumulate experience and knowledge that will be at the service of the Ralliart team that will participate in the Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR) 2022, scheduled from 6 to 12 August. The team that will be involved in the cross country rally event will have one of the top models of the Tre Diamanti car manufacturer at its disposal, the Triton, known on the Italian market as L200, a 1 tonne pickup truck. The Mitsubishi Ralliart Team, a private team owned by Thailand’s TANT SPORTS, has appointed two-time Dakar Rally Champion in 2002 and 2003, Hiroshi Masuoka, as the team director.
AXCR is mainly run in Thailand. The competition takes place in the warm and humid climate typical of Southeast Asia, on challenging off-road routes between jungles and mountains. Mitsubishi Motors will leverage the feedback gained during this rallying competition to further refine the vehicle’s strengths, including body and chassis stiffness, control capability and off-road performance. “For many years, Mitsubishi Motors competed in the World Rally Championship and in the Dakar Rally, winning in both competitions and, through these extreme tests, improving the driving performance of their cars which, today, are capable of to face all weather and road conditions in complete tranquility “, said Hiroshi Masuoka, director of the Mitsubishi Ralliart Team. “Mitsubishi Motors’ participation in AXCR as technical support will enhance the uniqueness of our product, particularly for strategic models in the ASEAN region, including pick-ups and SUVs in the 1 tonne class. The Mitsubishi Ralliart Team is preparing to meet the expectations of the fans, so we invite you to follow us ”.
Mitsubishi Motors relaunched its Ralliart brand in November 2021 and got started sales of special editions in Thailand and accessories in Japan. Participating in motorsport activities, offering its technical support to the Mitsubishi Ralliart Team, allows Mitsubishi Motors to show its engineering know-how and the passion that Mitsubishi cars manage to instill.
