Lauchlin O'Sullivan:

Q: So what do you think of your debut with a new team and a new car?

O'Sullivan: It's so incredible and it couldn't have gone any better, it's an incredible start to the season.

Q: What was your strategy for the rally?

O'Sullivan: I really wanted to learn the car and get used to having Mark as my co-driver. I took it slow and steady but I really think I could have pushed for 3rd. Without that flat tire on Friday I think it would have been a lot closer, but pushing too hard could have cost me more, so I took it easy on Saturday.

Q: How was working with your new co-driver Mark Williams?

O'Sullivan: It's getting there. Obviously we are not 100% yet, but that is expected. It takes time to really learn the timing. This event was especially hard because the calls had to come very early in order to properly prepare for the fast approaching slippery corners. But overall it went great and we were getting more and more used to each other with each mile.

Q: Obviously the Lancer Evolutions performed well today, what are your thoughts about the car now that you have completed an event with it?

O'Sullivan: The cars are great, they are so strong and I can't believe how reliable they were today. Their toughness right out of the box is a testament to the strength of the Lancer Evolution road car. It was their first event and we had only a very small amount of testing time but the cars didn't even have one small problem. I can't wait for a gravel rally because here in the snow we couldn't really use all the power and speed that these cars have. The Rim of the World ProRally in May should be very interesting!


Mark Williams:

Q: What were your expectations or goals for this event?

Mark Williams: Well we totally exceeded our goals. To be honest Lauchlin and I were hoping for a top ten finish and getting 4th overall is very satisfying. Even better is the fact that we were the top Americans in the event.

Q: What are your goals for the season?

Mark Williams: Our goal for this season is to be the top USA driver/co-driver team at every rally and to fight for as many podium spots as possible. We want to stay consistent and finish each rally to gain as much experience as possible, but we will of course push for a victory where possible.

David Higgins:

Q: What is it like to drive for Team Mitsubishi Motor Sports America?

David Higgins: Driving for Mitsubishi is a dream come true for me. They have such a dominant history in rallying and it feels very special to be a part of that continuing success in the sport. And wearing red feels great!

Q: What did you think of this year's Sno*Drift ProRally?

David Higgins: These were by far the worst conditions I have ever rallied in, one second there is grip and the next none at all, this is they type of rally you have nightmares about. But we had the right car and the right team for this rally, I'm just so impressed with how everything went on our debut event.
