During the gathering, many members who had only known each other online via the Lancerzone forum at www.lancergtclub.com finally met their fellow members face to face for the first time. It was indeed a rare occasion for members from all over the country to get together and share their experiences with their Lancer.

Generous support came from various sponsors, including Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia, and while they had a good time, the LGTC members did not forget the less fortunate. They helped to raise funds for Bethany Home by selling calendars for the home which provides training and educational programmes for children and adults with disabilities such as epilepsy, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, autism and Down Syndrome.

The forum grew rapidly from just a mere handful to dozens of members as word quickly got around the Lancer community. Before long (in September 2007), it was time to host the forum – which became the LancerZone – at its own server which was fully sponsored by Vijandren Ramadass, a club member.

To date, the LGTC has over 300 registered members (Lancer GT/GLS/Evo owners) and 1700 forumers. According to data from the Malaysian Automotive Association, 1,749 Lancers (including 7 units of the Lancer Evo) have been registered nationwide from the time the new model was launched until the end of September 2008.
