Mitsubishi UK is planning to race the Lancer Evolution X in the Britcar Championship. This would be its first works entry in circuit-racing in many years.

The Ralliart-liveried car will be produced by ADR Motorsport and driven by sponsors SVA UK’s MD James Kaye, a former BTCC competitor, and two not yet named drivers. It will make its debut at Silverstone on September 20/21, as a trial run for the 2009 Britcar series.
‘Mitsubishi UK has not been involved with circuit racing for many years,’ says Ralliart manager Paul Brigden, ‘so this new initiative is a great opportunity for us. Subject to the level of interest from competitors, we are also hoping to announce a one-make race series of the Evolution X soon.’
