As I said in the other thread, I am a Mitsubishi guy when it comes to WRC. This is the star of GT2, the Evolution V of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution rally car series, which is the only car to win the manufacturer's championship along with driver's, too. :D

A "Today I Learned" fact: During the Rally Australia (with the car dressed in the above Winfield livery, which is hidden car in GT2), Tommi Mäkinen had a penalty for jumping the start, but the start lights and the clock weren't synchronised, and later the penalty had to be removed! His championship rival, Carlos Sainz, who was badly affected by the decision, alleged a conspiracy between the organizers and Mitsubishi. It was never resolved.
