this car is setup for what they call “gravel spec”. Higher ride height, large mud flaps. It is also running gravel tyres, and due to the higher sidewalls, the rims have to be smaller to maintain the same wheel diameter. The higher ride height also gives the illusion that the wheels seem smaller.

if you look properly, the car also has a fullblown rollcage inside.

This car is probably built up to GrpN or world production car spec.

the roof scoop is there to cool the interior – rally cars have no air conditioning

What is that roof scoop there for? Looks like creating more drag

the skill of a driver, i think can be left for another discussion, we’re after all talking about the car. regardless of drivers, an evo has always been a good basis for a rally car. i’m just stating the long heritage these cars have as good rally cars, and i’m pretty sure they’re not going to screw it up this time.

i prefer dat it goes wif bigger grey colour alloys.

Alloys size differs depending on tracks surfaces. The colour…OZ normally has white for rallys. This evo has not proven its performance yet, so don’t be too sure, drivers also play vital roles.

is that a typo in the heading? pretty sure you meant “as” instead of “at”. =D

Back to the topic, if that is the course car in the pic then it looks.. wow. I dunno, maybe its the roof scoop that makes it look that much better than a stock evo. Haha
