TOYOTA COROLLA FORTUNA CARLOS SAINZ 1998 FORMULA RALLY DE MADRID



  
Through twisted track, this Corolla maneuvered its way into final race with ease.


At the end, it bowed out to the unexceptional form of Colin McRae in Subaru WRC.


One of the best liveries on a Corolla. Fortuna red with green flashes of Castrol, unlike whole red as in Oviedo.

Moya was not there during the actual race, but I still keep his seat anyway.

Hard to believe, this is a High Speed / Corgi model.


But with R43 8 spoke gravel wheels that cost more than the car itself, it fittingly looks more realistic.



Reji decal for Oviedo is good but not enough for Madrid. I need to use Corolla work decal for those Castrol green patch and Movistar markings.
