Comment on this Story
The Mitsubishi Lancer Register successfully set a new world record for the largest ever parade of Evo' last weekend at the Castle Combe Racing circuit in Wilts, home of the Rallyday event.

In total 273 Lancer Evolutions were involved in the parade, ushered out onto the track at 5pm, to drive the required 2 miles of the circuit at a constant speed.

The achievement was officially confirmed by Laura Farmer of Guinness World Records at 5:27 pm, who presented a certificate to the World Record event manager Ian Corcoran.

"It has taken a small team of MLR members a huge amount of time and effort over the last year to pull this World Record attempt together, but to see it finally come to life on Saturday was incredible," said Darin Frow, who was involved in the attempt and who is the co-founder of the Castle Combe Rallyday, which takes place later this year in September.

"Everyone involved had a great day and to see so many Evos on track all at once whilst history was in the making was truly spectacular.

"We were delighted with the support we received from Mitsubishi UK and for their generous contribution to our chosen charity."

In total, thanks to the generosity of the MLR members and Mitsubishi Motors UK, the event raised £7,459.27 for the Richard Burns Foundation, a charity set-up in memory of the 2001 World Rally champion.
