Team Mitsubishi Ralliart to compete in Asia Cross Country Rally 2025 with the Triton pickup truck equipped with Work CRAG T-GRABIC II

イメージ画像Mitsubishi Motors Corporation-supported "Team Mitsubishi RALLIART" is set to compete in the Asia Cross Country Rally 2025, scheduled for August 2025, equipped with WORK's CRAG T-GRABICⅡ wheels.

The rally vehicle will be a modified cross-country version (T1-spec) of the Triton pickup truck, featuring enhancements primarily focused on improving engine durability. The team aims to reclaim the championship title for the first time in three years since their last victory in the 2022 competition.

イメージ画像Team Mitsubishi Ralliart took on the AXCR 2024 a fleet of four Tritons that featured enhanced driving performance plus refined handling on rough roads in order to compete with rivals that had high-displacement engines. Ace driver Chayapon Yotha (Thailand) took the overall lead in Leg 4, the first day of the second half of the six-day competition, building a lead of more than 20 minutes over the second-place driver. However, he retired after suffering from engine trouble.

The AXCR has been a six-day competition covering around 2,000 kilometers (km) in recent years, but it will become even more grueling in its 30th year in 2025 at eight days and approximately 2,500 km. This year's Triton will be fully primed for the challenge, boasting an engine with improved durability, plus more refinements in the chassis and other areas for even greater potential.

Comments from Hiroshi Masuoka, team director of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart

"Last year, the Triton with significantly enhanced driving performance was able to hold its own against rivals with high displacement and took a large lead in first place overall on the first day of the second half. Unfortunately, it ran into trouble and ended up sidelined from the competition, but we affirmed that the Triton has more than enough potential to win the overall championship. This year, with an even more rigorous rally in terms of both days and distance for the 30th anniversary competition, we have a vehicle with enhanced durability that can harness its fantastic potential throughout the rally as we aim for our first overall win in three years."
