Owen Murphy, the 2006 "Billy Coleman young rally driver of the year" would like to announce that he will be competing in the Irish tarmac TROA Group N Championship in his Yokohama Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 in 2007.
The car, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 will have similar specifications to the works Yokohama used by Nutemarra in the PNAC. Running on 18 inch Advan Yokohama tyres to accomodate the latest homologated brakes.
Owen would like to welcome back all his sponsors from last year including title sponsors Yokohama, Mac Tyres Ireland, O'Flynn Construction, O'Brien Crowley, Permafrost and Irish Aggregates.
Owen would like to welcome on board Compomotive Wheels and is honoured to be only the second driver to use the new 18 inch Compomotive wheel specially developed for the new Group N homologated tarmac brakes.
Owing to the lateness of the deal, Owen will not have any time to test the car before the Galway International Rally, so his ability to adapt to different cars will be put fully to the test.
