The guest who came for this event was mostly Mitsubishi vehicle owners in Klang Valley and all by invitation only. As my friend did filled up the forms and submit to Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia for process, he manage to get a spot to attend this event. Once you get the invitation, he or she may invite a guest to come and help to introduce Mitsubishi vehicles and it capabilities. Mitsubishi car is one of highly recommended car for motorsport enthusiast especially the Lancer. If you like Gran Turismo and you watch Jackie Chan old movie title called “Thunderbolt”, you know why people love Mitsubishi cars.

The events starts at 9:00 a.m and was divided to two groups. Groups A is for morning session and group B is at the afternoon session. There were a lot of activities was held such as test drive the new cars, safety driving course, foosball, pool, arcade and the best thing is the “Taxi Ride on Lancer Evo X” with 2 times Dakar Rally Champion driver, Mr  Hiroshi Masuoka.

To get the taxi ride experience, there will be a lucky draw and only Mitsubishi owner can join the competition. Sighs... i’m just a guest and not entitled to be in a car with a respectful rally driver.

Didn’t join the safety course as well as it only open for Mitsubishi owners only and guest are not allowed to participate. Sighs...

You must be wondering how come they know you are a guest and an owner, it is from the wristband sticker they gave you during the registration. The wristband with white color is for guest and red color for Mitsubishi vehicles owner.  

Wristband for guest.

Although I’m just a guest, but i was allowed to stroll the exhibition rooms and participate with the games. Also free flow of food and drinks. Hihihihihi I was looking for RalliArt umbrella but not for sale at the RalliArt corner shop. My wife love big GT umbrella which i had in my car from Bridgestone.

Seeing the Taxi Ride Experience really envy me and the same time hearing the way Mr. Hiroshi drive the car really impress me a lot. Me and my friend were hoping we get the lucky draw but we were not been selected. Although i didn’t managed to get a ride with him, we managed to take photo with him together with Evo X. Hihihihi....

Me and my friend managed to test drive the Lancer Sportback 2.4 as we stumble with my friend service advisor from Mitsubishi . There were few people testing the car as mostly are testing the other modes which is the ASX. I was amazed with the Lancer as this is my first time i drove a original Mitsubishi  lancer not the wannabe waja lancer, wira lancer and satria lancer. The response and the auto transmission and the shift gear on the handle really nice. 

We returned home shortly after the test drive as my friend family from Malacca arrive in KL so he need to pick them up. It was a nice events and hopefully I can drive my own Lancer GT.
