The three-diamond emblem of Mitsubishi is now familiar in every corner of the world and in nearly every form of motorsport. The Mitsubishi name is synonymous with success in rallying - the toughest of all forms of motorsport.
And for Mitsubishi cars, whether its the powerful road machines blasting across the stages of the World Rally Championship, or the irrespressible Pajeroes hurtling through the deserts of Africa - the tougher the challenge, the more successful they are.
When we look at Pajero, Lancer and Triton, we like to think of them as our research centre on wheels. This is because it's only technology and systems capable of enduring the gruelling conditions of the world's toughest rally circuits that are deemed worthy for use in our production cars.
In the World Rally Championships, Tommi Makinen's exploits in Lancer Evolution are legendary and in the Production World Rally Championship Lancer Evolutions dominate entry lits because of their speed, ruggednesss and reliability.
When it comes to off-road championships, there isn't anything to hold a candle to the fearsome Dakar. The Pajero has triumphed a record-breaking 12 times at Dakar ,the last 7 consecutively.
In Australia Mitsubishi has a long, successful and proud history in motorsport, dating back to the famous Southern Cross Rallies of the 1970s. It also has a consistent history of success in the Australian Rally Championship, the Australian Safari and the Australian Off-Road Championship over many years.

Undoubtedly the world's most physically demanding and gruelling rally, the Dakar is an institution in off-road rally. Having recently won the race for an unprecedented 12th time - its 7th time in a row - the Pajero has once again confirmed itself as the king off-road.
We know, however, this is no time to sit on our laurels. Preparations have already begun for next year's rally. And by regularly checking the RALLIART site, you can be with us all the way as we strive to repeat out success in 2008.
