## Resource

The 1970s changed everything for Mitsubishi. In Part 2 of our Mitsubishi Motorsports History series, we explore the decade that transformed the company from a promising Japanese automaker into a legitimate international motorsports contender. From the little-known Colt F2000 Formula car to the legendary Lancer 1600 GSR, we follow Mitsubishi's rise through circuit racing and the brutal world of international rally competition. Learn how the oil crisis reshaped automotive engineering, why the Safari Rally became Mitsubishi's proving ground, and how innovations like the Saturn engine and Silent Shaft technology helped lay the foundation for decades of performance success. This is the story of the engineers, drivers, and machines that turned Mitsubishi into a global motorsports powerhouse—setting the stage for the Starion, Galant VR-4, Lancer Evolution, and everything that followed.
