In 2006 the team progressed to developing an Evo9, testing the car only three days before the first round in the ARC, maintaining the driver / co-driver combination from 2005 of Scott Pedder and Glen Weston.  The car proved to be a very fast and competitive entrant winning a number of heats and finishing on the podium on a number of occasions throughout the ARC, including winning Heat 2 of the Coates Rally of Queensland, Heat 2 of the Subaru Safari Tasmania, Heat 1 at Toyota Rally SA and Heat 1 of the NGK Rally of Melbourne.
