The Mitsubishi Lancer Register (MLR) – the UK based organisation for owners and enthusiasts of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution – has successfully created a new World Record for the largest ever parade of ‘Evos’. The event took place at Castle Combe Racing Circuit in Wiltshire, and was fully supported by Mitsubishi Motors UK.

On the day, 273 Lancer Evolutions congregated in the paddock, grouped together by colour. At 5pm the cars started to be ushered onto the track to drive the required two miles of the circuit at a constant speed in colour co-ordinated formation. 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 shortly after the parade.

“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 was incredible”, Ian said.

Thanks to the generosity of the MLR members and Mitsubishi Motors UK, the event also raised £7459.27 for the Richard Burns Foundation.
