PARIS-TANGER-DAKAR 1993
Never a manufacturer to rest on its laurels, Mitsubishi entered the Pajeros into
the 15th "Dakar" with the same level of commitment as ever, even thought the
final blow to all opposition had been completely and decisively delivered the
year before with the Great Cape Town Victory followed by the incredible
dominance by the Pajero in the epic Paris- Moscow-Beijing Rally. Only 12 weeks
after the race across Russia and China, the team was ready for action again in
the 15th "Dakar", this time reverting to a more familiar format, finishing in
Senegal once more. One hundred and fifty two competitors entered on this
occasion for an event which covered nearly 9,000 km and was hailed as one of the
fastest ever. Again, the headline victory went elsewhere, but like an
unstoppable machine that swept all before it, Mitsubishi dominated the podium
with three Pajeros in the top four headed by Weber who was followed by Saby and
Shinozuka.
