Best result was in internetional Saaremaa rally were Mika get N-group seventh place. Different kind of failures caused retirements and we fighting hole year with budget. The team didn't have the same resources as the top Finnish group N team's. In a year 2004 we take part Finnish local area championchip events. That consist both rally and rallysprint events. It was a first year when we use tyre warmers in tarmac events. Mitsubishi was tuned N-group (267 bhp) and SS/Super Special class.
