Mitsubishi Motors to withdraw from Dakar Rally
TOKYO, February 4, 2009 — Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) announced today their decision to withdraw from Cross Country Rallying, starting with the legendary Dakar Rally.
In its 26 entries in this event, Mitsubishi Motors won the rally a total of 12 times, including seven consecutive victories. In addition to this unparalleled record the company also gained 4WD technology that informs its production vehicles, most visible in their durability and off road performance.
The sudden deterioration of the global economy made it necessary for the company to focus its resources more tightly, leading to today's announcement.

most probably pagkatapos ng economic crunch magbabalikan din ang mga teams sa cross country rallying, iba din kasi ang media mileage na nakukuha nila dyan, and of course the practical r&d that goes with it. let's look forward to better days ahead!

Ayan! Wala na sila trio idol drivers! huhuhu! I'll blame it to that freakin Lancer Racing wanna be. Loser naman sya sa rally every since 1998 something onwards... Pati Pajero dinamay. Grrr...
Lipat sila sa Volkswagen, sa European Car Talk na rin ako.
