Didn't the 01-02 Subaru have CF lights too, Morette style?
I don't understand why they went back to the base Lancer nose when they already updated it.

Hey, you just watch. They spent a whole year on that car, and obviously not with the aesthetic. Its gotta be fast :)
| GC84ever | 01-17-2004 03:07 AM |
Well as they said before it's a fresh start for Mitsubishi. As I read in the current issue of RallyXS: ever since Tommi left, the team went has gone down hill.
BTW the car is based on the lancer and not the EVO8. I'm just confused why they just didn't develop the EVO8 SCCA Rally car more. It dominated last year in the SCCA Prorally.:confused:

That thing looks horrible. It better be fast.:lol:
| Kitsune | 01-17-2004 04:27 AM |
Damn, that is ugly. And I liked the new Williams.
Fake lights are reflective of the lack of night stages in WRC. :rolleyes: Yay for BS.

Wait till you see it in the flesh, it's ermmmmm.........................Hideous. :D

Yuk. The roof scoop literally looks like it was tacked on...
It better be fast if it's going to be that ugly.

The rear end looks so unbalanced ... shopping cart wing?? I bet it does generate teh downforce ...
| Big C | 01-17-2004 11:34 AM |
In a racecar form should always follow function, sometimes they just get lucky and it looks really cool. With the exception of the rear wing I think this car looks pretty cool...
I wouldn't draw any parallels between SCCA ProRally cars and WRC, there is just a bit (note sarcasm) of a gap in technology and level of competition there. I really hope Mitsubishi is competitive with this car but won't be holding my breath for an impressive debut. Looking for Ford and Citroen to lead the pack, hopefully Peugeot will choke with the new 307...

Fake lights are lighter (no pun intended)
Light pod covers over that area anyway so they are not needed
And as mentioned not too many night stages anymore

i always thought night stages were really cool. it sucks that they don't do them anymore.
| WRXedUSA | 01-17-2004 04:31 PM |
Doesnt look anything like a production car. That goes for the FocusWRC'03 as well.
I hope this isnt the beginning of a trend. :(

And the Audi Quatro Sport did? :lol: It isnt a start of anything. :D
| EatpussRex | 01-17-2004 10:32 PM |
Of course it's the start of something. It's the start of the decline of the WRC. It was good while it lasted.
| WRXMaster | 01-17-2004 10:52 PM |
When I say fake lights........................... they have stickers! for the 2 in the middle! DONT USE STICKERS AS A LIGHT!!@!!!!! NASCAR DOES THAT! :mad:
| Kitsune | 01-17-2004 11:55 PM |
The cars becoming full spec racers does not bother me at all, Group B was'nt exactly showroom derived. But the lack of night stages making the use of fake lights does say something very negative about WRC.

Just pray Evo owners won't stick that wing on their street cars. Actually lets pray they do so we can make fun of them.
Watch, Subaru will follow.

Lancer = EVO and since that's the new front fascia of the Lancer EVO IX that's the reason why they used it.
We'll see how it goes...it's definitely not the best looking of the bunch.
-mykr.

the rear wing is placed where it is because it will transmit more downforce directly to the suspension since it is nearly on top of the rear pick up points. IF you saw the car in person you would have a different take on it, the act that it is so functional makes the car more attractive.
| elgorey | 01-18-2004 12:05 PM |
interesting that they took the exact opposite approach of subaru.
Put the wing far foward, where subaru sticks it as far rearward as possible.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The mits should put down more downforce, but the Subaru creates less drag
Given the relative low speed and often sideways nature of WRC, I have always wondered about how helpful big wings really are
We will find out this season, but my money is on prodrive...

I have seen the car in person just 7 days ago and it's butt ugly. :lol:
| WRXedUSA | 01-18-2004 01:20 PM |
Well, here's SWRT's explaination:
[url]http://www.subaru-msm.com/global/wrcar/1.html[/url]
I think the key word in the explaination is "Effeciently"
Chaste has a good point too.
Yah John, butt-ugly. My eyes are burning already and I havent seen it in person yet!

Yes it's a weird looking car and I think that's the opinion of the majority... however... the majority also does not have the engineering education, windtunnel data, etc., etc. that the designers and the like have.
| johnfelstead | 01-18-2004 01:50 PM |
but the majority do have eyes, and my god it hurts those. :D:lol:
The car has passive diffs, it's going to get its ugly butt kicked in the early stages of its development. With only 8 other works cars it will still score points though.
I was checking out the Monte Carlo entry last night, boy does that look thin, 47 cars! only 10 factory WRC spec cars. :(

^^ The absence of Skoda and Hyundai is pretty unnerving. 2 works car limit hurts aswell.
I was really thinking Skoda would have liked to run the Fabia in MonteCarlo and Sweden to evaluate it's snow abilities.
Oh well, I wonder what the Mitsu fans think.
