This is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI and this is much more of an ultimate version of the Lancer we called it "Lancer Pizza" because of its pizza-shaped taillamps. If my memory serves me correctly, most of the youth who were in their senior years or in college were driving one of these apart from its "Lancer itlog" predecessor. Sadly, we don't have a Lancer itlog here but this "Lancer pizza" really reminds us of our younger selves, younger selves that we used it for transportation or for fun while causing much of a trouble. Apart from driving it, we used it to hide from grownups chasing us, making out with our girlfriends, listening to some radio music while stuck in traffic, whatever we're facing with. This Lancer Pizza has lots of youthful memories.
But this is the Evo, or to be more precise, the Evo VI, the one were the Lancer pizza has been pushed to its greater heights as well as its racing pedigree thanks to its involvement in the World Rally Championship with Tommi Makinen behind the wheel.
Continuing on my Storm Island journey, the next championship I'm taking on involves 90s rally machines and this one really makes the cuts and I signed up for one. Before that, some improvements have been made on my Lancer Pizza Evo VI to make it capable of surviving Storm Island's extreme terrains. As for looks, I made it look like it was taking on amateur rallycross. Yes. It wants to show its racing pedigree like most Evos do in their lifespan.
And now, the big moment...
Four races down! Looks like the highly memorable Lancer pizza, even in its hypo-Evo form, really survived Storm Island. With four championships cleared, my journey towards the finale in Storm Island continues but before taking on the next tier, I need to complete...The Gauntlet. What is the gauntlet? Stay tuned...
