These guys are serious. You don't ship two cars, 100 tires (all the tires on the right and their two cars are on a boat to the US within the week) and a whole team of people--PR staff, support crew, etc. over to the USA from Australia to play for second place. Two events on their schedule are Pike's Peak and New England Forest Rally. Fortunately I will be at NEFR and seeing these guys in action should be a treat. Love it when new teams with a well sorted non-traditional rally car shows up. These Nissan Silvia's are certainly that as this version of the Silvia, once known here as the 240SX, was never sold in North America.
Oh, and the Mitsu and the Datsun? Those are the cars of the teams managing director Hillary Evans...you know they're serious when even their "suits" have TWO stage rally race cars...
