Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Experience II Driving Program Unleashed

Drivers now have the opportunity to take their skills to another level thanks to a new program launched by Mitsubishi Motors North America and the Jim Russell Racing Drivers School. Dubbed Lancer Evolution Experience II, the advanced driving program takes place at the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California.

Enthusiasts will get behind the wheel of the Mitsubishi Evolution X featuring race-ready equipment including a fully-integrated roll cage, Sparco racing seat and safety harness.

“The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has long been a favored race car of choice in the "Time Attack" time trial racing series that originated in Japan and has found enthusiastic support in the United States in the form of the Redline Pro Time Attack and the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) Time Trial series,” Mitsubishie explains.

Courses begin with revisiting such critical high-performance driving criteria as line theory and driving dynamics in the classroom before heading out to the paddock to perform several key driving exercises, of which several are timed.

The program culminates with a specially-designed "Time Attack" course on the Infineon Raceway that has an instructor belted in alongside the driver during the practice sessions to provide critical driving tips and feedback.

The final step in the Lancer Evolution Experience II program is to put their newly acquired driving skills to the test against their fellow students in a race against the clock. The fastest driver from each school session will be invited back to compete in the Lancer Evolution Challenge Run Off. The winner gets free use of a Mitsubishi vehicle for a whole year.

The Lancer Evolution Experience II program lasts for one day, costs $1,295 and is open to any graduate of the Lancer Evolution Experience I.
