Mitsubishi Lancer Register Breaks World Record for Largest Parade of Evos
Officially confirmed by Guinness World Records, the Mitsubishi Lancer Register (MLR) set the World Record for largest parade of Mitsubishi Lancer Evos at Castle Combe Racing Circuit in Wiltshire, England on July 12, 2008.
Although the expected turnout was less than planned, 273 Evos grouped by colour achieved the 2 mile drive while traveling at a constant speed.
Darin Frow, MLR Chairman said, “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. “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.”
MLR members with the support of Mitsubishi Motors UK raised £7,459.27 for the Richard Burns Foundation.
Have you NOTHING BETTER to do with your time? I have a sincere dislike for such pointless world records. Somebody, please, argue me a reason why this is even news. (And the charity aspect is almost beside the point, seeing as how it is mentioned almost as an afterthought.)
"A reason why this is even news".. i guess you answered that yourself since you clicked on it. Anything can be news these days, even Audi's outstandingly designed "foosball table" truly Vorsprung durch Technik .
lol Fair enough. That's an awesome table, though... I'd get it with carbon fiber side blades.
They raised £7,459.27 out of which: 20% are track fees 30% is the Mitsubishi Lancer Register's fee 20% were payed to the advertisement company that spread the news 10% went to Guinness to convince them to certify such a useless record 10% went to online promotion of the article
The rest of the money were donated, everybody was happy and there was no more third world hunger!
However useless it is, it is awesome. If you're one of the Evolution owners and you're there you had a blast. And when life is such a ****hole at times, its nice to be able to kick back and enjoy some good old fashioned useless fun, especially with your Evolution.
it's a great view from the picture...imagine it on real!
