Mitsubishi has announced 𝐆that they will add an extra 'weapon' to their arsenal in Mexico this weekend, with confirmation that the Lancer💦 WRC05 will run with their 'active differential system' for the first time.

Following a successful test wit♓h the 'gizmo' after the Swedish Rally, the team believe that it could well give them a decisive edge on gravel, as soꦑon as it is fine-tuned.

"We have done a lot of kilometres of gravel testi🎀ng with the new active differential system in the last few weeks," con🃏firmed Mitsubishi's technical director, Mario Fornaris.

"The drivers' comments were very po💝sitive concerning the overall handling, and the reliability of the system has so far been good."

Team boss, Isao Torri has also been pleased with the system, and reckons it should help team leader, Harri Rovanpera and team-mate Gilles Panizzi, who returns to action, after sitting out the Swedish Rally, when Gigi Gℱalli drove the second car.

"The implementation of the active centre differential system is a big step towards us being competitive on grave🌳l r🍌allies," he added.

"However, this is the first event using the new sys♌tem and we have to learn more, because in competition it's always different to tes𒆙ting conditions.

"O𝔉ur goal is to bring both cars into the finish and score manufacturer points."
