2009 Mitsubishi Ralliart Evolution Challenge Champions Daniel Barry and his co-driver Martin Brady, were presented with their prize for winning the one-make rally series for Group N (production class) Lancer Evolutions, at the end-of-season prizegiving ceremony in Daventry on Saturday night.

Handing over the keys of the brand new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X RS was Challenge Coordinator Simon Slade, who said:

“Daniel and Martin have really shone in this year’s championship and won five out of the eight events. However, although the points show a convincing victory, they did not have it all their own way as the competition was fierce all season.”

On receiving the keys to his brand new Lancer the 24-year old driver from Ireland’s County Wicklow said:

“This is a fantastic prize and tops-off what has been a great season. I have to thank Martin and my team who did a tremendous job throughout the year and must also thanks Mitsubishi UK for supporting a championship that continues to offer the best prizes in the sport.”
