Evolution Challenge draws to a close in UK and Ireland

After running for ten consecutive years in the UK and three in Ireland, the Mitsubishi Ralliart Evolution Challenge in both these countries will come to a close at the end of 2010. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mitsubishi, all of the sponsors, teams, drivers, co-drivers and friends for their support and commitment during these years. It’s been an incredible journey and I could not have done it without your invaluable support. Series Manager, Simon Slade.

The event was a milestone in the history of the Evolution Challenge as it saw 39 registered crews take part, the highest number ever entered for one event. The round was won by Rory Galligan, who later went on to become 2004 Champion and consequently, a Mitsubishi Works Driver in the 2005 and 2006 British Rally Championships (copyright free image).
