With the Mitsubishi Motors Revitalization Plan as a basis, MMC has made a solid start toward revitalizing its business operations. However, to strengthen and build upon this base, MMC realizes that it must focus management resources on the continued promotion of the revitalization plan. Mitsubishi Motors hopes to return to the WRC Championship series from 2008, after the completion of the revitalization plan, which covers fiscal 2005 to 2007. This decision however does not extend to MMC's efforts in the Dakar Rally (commonly known as Paris-Dakar). Mitsubishi Motors will continue to compete in this event. — Starting with an overall championship in the Safari Rally in 1974, the Mitsubishi WRC Team has accomplished a spectacular 34 wins in the WRC series. The team won the drivers' title 4 consecutive years from 1996 to 1999, and won the prestigious manufacturers' title in 1998. oh its terrible news :( but it seems not alot of people follow the whole Wrc thing,never mind the mitsi team.And the team was never properly funded anyway,sad day but hopefully in the future the company will strengthen itself and launch a full assault of the world rally championship.

And a ford tarus comes with a large bore V-8 connected to the rear wheels as standard equipment...! My dad is a salesman for a heat treating company, and EMCO gears is one of his clients. The owner and his brother and sister sponsor a race in Ohio at the Mid-Ohio race course. Anyway, he said the reason for no computers in NASCAR is because they don't know how to prevent cheating AND because it makes the races more competitive. I hate NASCAR and all it stands for. I am not a bigot but I can't stand how anyone who dropped out of high school and has a southern accent can race. One thing I do like is you have to rely on your pit crew. Anyway...my $.02...but seeing how inflation is these days it might not even be worth that!
