Mitsubishi Lancer sets world record
CIRENCESTER, UK --On Saturday July 12th 2008, the UK based organisation for EVO owners and enthusiasts, the Mitsubishi Lancer Register (MLR) created a new World Record for the largest ever parade of EVOs.
Despite the fact that less EVOs showed up than initially expected, the 273 Lancer Evolution cars that congregated in the paddock of the Castle Combe Racing Circuit in Wiltshire, England, were enough to earn them place in the Book of World Records.
On the day, 273 Lancer Evolutions congregated in the paddock, grouped together by colour.
At 5:00 pm the cars started to be ushered onto the track to drive the required 2 miles of the circuit at a constant speed - in colour co-ordinated formation - making this a truly incredible sight.Darin Frow, MLR Chairman said, “The World Record attempt came about after one of our members asked what had been the largest number of Evo’s ever seen in one place? That was a year ago, and since then the idea has captured the imagination and enthusiasm of everyone within the MLR, and beyond.”
Thanks to the generosity of the MLR members and Mitsubishi Motors UK, the event raised £7,459.27 ($15,000 or €9,400) for the Richard Burns Foundation.
The event was also supported by: SJS Design, Xtreme Sports Photography and RC Developments.

Three new model RC helicopter books:
R/C Model Helicopters: A Guide for Beginners by Malcolm Messier, covers electric power as well as internal combustion engines and includes tips and advice on buying, building, flying and maintaining model helicopters - everything the beginner needs to know, from choosing or building the model to installing the components of the radio. Building Scale Helicopters by Peter Wales (who won the Top Gun Trophy for helicopters in 2001 and went on to win the US Nationals for RC helicopters for the following three years)
3D Helicopter Flying by Russ Deakin (covers the many skills that are needed in order to take part in 3D helicopter flying)New RC airplane DVD: It created a pilot program in 1998 called flashlights EnterTech, a 45-hour training simulation that teaches 44 entry-level job skills through digital role playing. The results stunned everyone. Of the 238 participants, two-thirds of the group either found work or enrollled in continuing-education programs. Those who ended up working received a $1.06 average increase in salary. Academics, though, want to use the underlying software that powers the video games to create learning simulations.
