ASIA CROSS COUNTRY RALLY 2024
Triton Rally Car
The TRITON rally car is based on Thai-spec double cab model, modified in accordance with the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Group T1 reglation (for modified cross-country vehicles).
Reflecting on last year's results, the Triton's driving performance has been greatly increased to enable it to compete against vehicles with high-displacement engines in high-speed stages. A new racing transmission with a high torque capacity has also been selected to improve both durability and maneuverability. Further, the tread size has been increased, and the rear suspension has been switched from rigid/leaf springs to rigid/4-link coil springs. This will allow the vehicle to absorb major shocks on rough roads and improve its traction on extremely bumpy road surfaces, significantly enhancing its road handling on rough roads.
The livery for AXCR 2024, with inheriting energetic red color from AXCR 2023, the new design features a digitalized graphics of dust and gunmetal color that evokes the image of lava that has solidified into a solid bedrock. embodies the dynamism, durability, and reliability of the TRITON rally car.

Support Car
Following last year, 4 units of MITSUBISHI DELICA D:5 will continue to support Team MITSUBISHI RALLIART in AXCR 2024 as team support cars.
Taking advantage of the robustness, handling and driving ability of the DELICA D:5, represented by the rib bone frame and electronically controlled 4WD system, the cars are equipped with WORK aluminum wheels and Yokohama Rubber mud-terrain tires with excellent mud performance, allowing it to run the entire rally from flat dirt to mud.
The car which will be transporting team director Masuoka as he observes the rally cars from the side of the rally course and formulates strategies will have front and rear suspension from JAOS and auto-flag aluminum engine guard for even better road handling on rough terrain.
Like the TRITON, the DELICA D:5 support cars will also bear red and black livery.
