Fabcar proudly sponsor Chassis Build No.1 of the LF Performance built MItsubishi Evolution – designed in conjunction with Steve Jones.

The LF23R Evolution is a purpose built Tarmac Rally/Hillclimb/Time Attack/Motorkhana car, designed and built in-house from a standard Mitsubishi Evo 9 road car for use in racing events around Australia.

After years of development and racing, the experienced team at LF Performance Products in conjunction with Steve Jones have built the ultimate Evo.

This product is available as a package or a complete vehicle ‘ready-to-race’ primarily for Tarmac Rally in Australia. The package requires purchase or delivery of a Mitsubishi Evo 9 (with an un-damaged body history as a minimum requirement) prior to further assessment by the team at LFP.

Steve Jones, Ross Hamilton and Mark Conacher will be teaming up with Fabcar, LF Engineering and other sponsors  for Targa West 2010 (August 26-29 2010)

Steve is yet to confirm which vehicle he will be using in an attempt to pull off a third consecutive Modern Competition win, backing up hugely successful 2008 and 2009 campaigns. Targa West will form as a prequel to Steve possibly heading to Japan to compete in some local racing behind the wheel of a Nissan GT-R racing prototype vehicle currently being built by a successful Japanese tuning/development company. Stay tuned for more information. (Steve is also about to launch his own website stevejonesracing.com that will feature lots of information on Steves racing endeavours.) Either way Fabcar will be supporting Steve in his attempt to show off his skills in Japan.

Ross Hamilton with co-driver Tony Robson will take part behind the wheel of the very competitive Mitsubishi Evolution 8 MR. The boys have competed in the last two years of  Targa West, and were making some impact in 2009 before a small error cost the boys  by the end of the event.

2009 Modern Challenge Competition winner, Mr Mark Conacher of McDonalds will be heading the third car (Nissan GT-R). Mark has been an influential help in setting up planning for 2010, in particular assisting with sponsorship for Steve’s Japanese campaign.

Fabcar will support the team with the help of their technical partners LF Engineering. LF Engineering have long supported Fabcar and are the chosen partners when it comes to Motor Racing.

In addition to LF Engineering, Fabcar are also partnering with McDonalds, Northside Nissan, GT Graphics, Live Fitness, Greenline MotorSports, and Caffi Logistics. (Other sponsors are also soon to be announced)

Thank you to all these partners, as we look forward to a successful 2010 campaign.

Steve Jones in his Evolution MR posted a strong finish at the Ktec Prologue event held at Kwinana Motorplex.

Jones is now set to take on Mt Buller again in the LF Engineered Nissan GT-R in coming fortnight. Visit our blog for latest news on his progress.

Franz Esterbauer finished in 2nd place in a Grey Evo 8 MR purchased a couple of years back from Fabcar. Franz also recently competed in his first Targa West campaign.

The White Evolution 8 MR of Ross Hamilton fired up for the event and he finished 3rd in great style in the 50+ car event. Hamilton has competed in two Targa Wests with this Evo 8 MR  purchased from Fabcar.  After a long break from Motor Racing, Ross has been posting some good results in various Motor Sports events.

Hamilton Evo 8 MR and Jones Evo 9 MR – Congratulations to both the guys for some great driving.
