E 6 GRA

Just like with her sister cars, V905 EEN and the Ralliart Italia cars, were prepared by Co-ordSport and MEM to Ralliart UK specifications. However, her case is different in the sense that her only active season was 2004 - 4 years after the Gr.A kit was introduced and 3 years after Ralliart stopped competing with the Evo 6! She was rallied by Ali Ersin (a turkish Gr.N champion with Mitsubishi) and co-driver Ahmet Yoruk.

Their first event was the Pirelli Rallisi, with a strong entry: 2 Focus WRC, an Accent WRC and many dealer-supported teams with S1600 cars. They had a slow start, but by the end, they were setting regular top4 stage times and climbed back up to 7th.

However, this was only a test for the big rally that year: Turkey hosted its first ever WRC round, and Ali and the team took part - making this the first appearance of a Gr.A kit Lancer since Aghini's Sanremo fiasco in 2000. They didn't light the world on fire, but with this car at that year, it was not possible either. They finished 18th overall and 11th in A8.

Next up was the Bursa Rallisi, with the same strong entry as previously. They started well, but lost time on the 3rd stage and had to retire on the 4th.

Their next event was the Hitit Rallisi, with a little less of the entry as before, but still very strong. The car got some visual updates: a works Evo 6.5 front bumper and Exide sponsorship. However, they were forced to retire again.

Whereabouts

Strangely, they never returned to the stages - Ali's last rally was Hitit, and I found no information on the car appearing again (strangely similar case to V905 EEN, though that car should still exist). So, again, if you have infos about this topic, please contact me!
