2000
V4 MMR -although debuting only in 2000- was finished not not far behind the V2-V22 duo. Again, given her numberplate, she became Mäkinen's car. Her first mission was in the cold, snow-covered forests of Sweden; she and her crew did a great job, and came home in 2nd place, losing out to Marcus Grönholm's Peugeot.
2nd place on a debut? Not bad! (Mitsubishi)
After the cold, she went to the sunny and dusty Rallye de Portugal. This time luck turned around, as Mäkinen hit a treestump and broke the steering -retired.

As a pure gravel car, her next event was the hard-hitting Acropolis Rally. Due to a hub bearing problem, almost every Lancer on this event lost the left-rear wheel -she was no exception.
On four wheels - this state didn't last long (Mitsubishi)
Her next round was the evenly rough Cyprus Rally. However, in the time between the two events, she was converted into an Evo 6.5; the rally started well, but then a transmission problem threw Mäkinen out of the point-scoring places. But he didn't give up, and crawled back into the top six, ending up in 5th.

It is very unusual that a gravel car becomes a tarmac car, but exactly this happened to her. Along the change, she was swapped from Mäkinen to Loix; she made her tarmac debut at the Sanremo Rally, finishing in 8th after many problems.

Her tarmac outing proved to be a one-off, as she returned to the rough surface in Wales. However, the rally didn't last long, as Loix parked her into thr forest in a not so gentle way.

Whereabouts
She didn't appear in 2001, so it is safe to say again that she was destroyed after the crash.
Good and nice work buddy....
