Evolution TMR Drive Day
The Lancer Evolution drive days we recently held in
Victoria which gave the attending journalists
who where from all around Australia the
chance to test drive these cars and put this
truly remarkable beast through its paces.
We also had another set of drive days for
Dealers and prospective customers. For
those days we had professional drivers – all
pictures from these events can be viewed at
