MITSUBISHI Motors announced that Team Mitsubishi RALLIART, with the technical support from Mitsubishi Motors, participated in the Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR) 2022 that ran from November 21st to 26th in Thailand and Cambodia with Triton/Strada rally cars (Group T1 prototype cross-country vehicles).

After a three-year absence, the AXCR got under way on the 21st in Buriram in the northeastern part of Thailand, where the first Special Stage (SS) of the rally and a ceremonial start was held. Leg 1 on the 22nd to Leg 3 on the 24th included the SS located in the harsh terrain of Buriram. Leg 4 on the 25th saw the rally cross the border into Cambodia, while Leg 5 on the 26th ended at the spectacular ceremonial finish near Angkor Wat, the famed tourist attraction in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The first half of the rally in Thailand consisted mainly of high-speed stages on rough, dry unpaved roads, while the second half was more challenging with large, deep puddles scattered on muddy roads caused by heavy rain, and a tougher course compared to the previous five stages awaited the participants in Cambodia.
