JRM is delighted to confirm that it will make its first appearance at RallyDay, the popular annual celebration of motorsport, which takes place at Castle Combe racing circuit in Wiltshire on Saturday 18th September.
Currently one of the front-running teams in this year’s British Rally Championship, it is appropriate that the company that builds and prepares the quickest Mitsubishi Evolution Xs currently competing in the UK’s premier rally series will be displaying its cars at this event. And JRM will certainly be making its presence felt on its first visit to RallyDay. Taking pride of place on the stand will be the Group N Mitsubishi Lancer that is being campaigned by Gwyndaf Evans in this year’s British Championship, the experienced Welshman scoring two outright wins in it so far this season. The car will be seen in action during the day, when Evans himself drives it on the feature rally stage.
Alongside this full-spec production-class Mitsubishi will be JRM’s new ‘National’ specification Evo X, which makes its first public appearance at RallyDay. This new offering from JRM has been produced to a carefully considered budget and to a specification that is designed to attract drivers who want to compete in a fast and reliable four-wheel-drive R4 Class car without spending a six-figure sum.
Making regular appearances on the circuit during the course of the day will be JRM’s 400RS track-day car, demonstrating the performance, handling and drivability of this extremely capable Mitsubishi. The car can also be viewed on the JRM stand, where full details will be available.
Also on display and available for purchase will be a range of parts and merchandise, from JRM’s retail arm Sumo Power. This will include HKS products, Ralliart competition parts and the latest range of NISMO (Nissan Motorsport) clothing.
JRM Executive Director James Rumsey is pleased that his company will be appearing at RallyDay for the first time this year and said:
“Now into its tenth year, RallyDay is very well established and regularly enjoys high attendance figures. We are therefore pleased to be making our debut at the event as I am sure our cars and products will appeal to the people who are there. Therefore, it is our intention to put on a good show!”
A notable absence on the JRM stand will be one of its 600bhp Nissan GT-Rs that are competing in the FIA GT1 World Championship under the banner of Sumo Power GT. However, there is a good excuse for it not being there, as the team will be racing in Portugal during the RallyDay weekend.
