Last week end there was a Mitsu Gpe A at the Rally Condroz in Belgium.
The Reg is X2 MMR (MMR for Mitsubishi Motor Ralliart) so I suppose this is an Ex-official.

Does somebody know the history of this car ?

Probably Wout Hazeleger´s car? He´s got an ex-Mäkinen from 2001.

Yes, that's the one !
Any idea about its history ?
Makinen drove the X6 MMR in 2001, but I can't find anything about the X2

Mäkinen also drove the X2 in 2001 apparantly. This is Wout Hazeleger in the picture :)

MMR actually stood for Marlboro Mitsubishi Ralliart, so the ciggy company would get a mention in all official documentation involving the team.

Subaru did much the same by naming their car the Impreza 555.

Anorak mode off......

Didn't think X5 was a full Group A spec car -- well certainly not an ex factory GpA car anyway.
