History: 
This car was built over 2014 and 2015 by M2 Competition for Shannon Chambers to use in the NZRC. The car is based off a VW Polo bodyshell imported from Poland with Evo X running gear including engine and drivetrain. The car made its competition debut at the 2015 Rally Coromandel at the end of the NZRC season replacing the Evo 10 Chambers was previously using during that season.

The car was again used in the 2016 NZRC in limited outings before being purchased by Andy Martin at the end of the 2016 rally season. His debut saw a podium result at the clubmans Rally Waitomo. After a couple of further outings the car headed South when it was purchased by Scott Simpson.

Simpson showed good pace at times with the car during from its initial debut in 2018 but with recent developments and the assistance of Paddon Rallysprint the car has shown real pace in 2020.
