LANCIA DELTA HF 4WD CAMEL 1988 CATALUNYA COSTA BRAVA SERVIA SABATER

Salvador Servia and Jordi Sabater won Costa Brava the year before in VW Golf GTi.

1988, no luck. He was troubled by engine problems.

But this one is my bad, I got it all wrong.
It is put in a more flaring body of Integrale. Too noticeable even with air ducts and all to mask it appearance.

RENAULT R25 DAMON HILL AT WHITEHALL, LONDON

Renault R25 as driven by Damon Hill

Date: 18th. July, 2006

Place: Whitehall, London

10 years after being crowned the World Champion, Damon Hill got the privilege to drive another championship winning car, Renault R25.

A demo drive to kick start the 2006 British Motor Show

The then PM was there too

My model uses Fernando's car as a donor. I remove his figurine out of the car, repaint the race suit flat white and repaint the helmet black and that basically is the main task. And Fernando's name on the head rest is deleted before the figurine is slotted back in.

FORD ESCORT RS COSWORTH BASTOS SNIJERS COLEBUNDERS 1996 RALLY MADEIRA

 37th Rali Vinho da Madeira, the Round 30 of the 1996 FIA European Rally Championship.

Rated with Coefficient 20.

The winner was the local favorite, Fernando Peres / Ricardo Caldeira in Ford Escort RS Cosworth

Totta. Patrick Snijers and Colebunders in Bastos Ford Rally team were fourth, 51 seconds behind. I really had a hardtime to fix the decal nicely to that curvy rear bumper.

RENAULT MEGANE MAXI 1999 BASTOS PRINCEN

This is really a blank car without any rally plate.

I guess we can call it a presentation version.

He ended up as Belgium Rally Champions in 1999.

It run with Renault in place of Bastos marking in tobacco-free rallies like Wallonie, Ypres and Condroz.

He won Rally Luxemborg, 25^th,. April, 1999

Finished 16^th. In Rallye Acropolis

Forced to retire in San Remo.

MITSUBISHI CARISMA GT EVO IV RALLIART WINFIELD 1997 RALLY AUSTRALIA BURNS / REID

 In 1997, Richard Burns started to stamp his mark in WRC.

He almost got it all in RAC before puncture.

He was second in Safari Rally.

And in Australia, for the first time in his illustrious career, he led a rally.

At the end, he was fourth, about 36 second away from 2nd. place Makinnen.

This Carisma GT still confuses me until today, as it looks exactly the same as Evo IV’s Makkinen.

TOYOTA CELICA ST205 MARLBORO 1996 32nd 24HRS YPRES FREDDY LOIX

Fast Freddy starts dominating Ypres in 1996 with this car.

I think until now, he has won a record of seven times in Ypres.

That year, almost all the top 5 cars were ‘smoking’ fast.

The winner, Freddy Loix / Sven Smeets, Toyota Team Belgium

 2^nd Armin Schwarz / Denis Giraudet ,Toyota Castrol Team 

 3^rd  Patrick Snijers  /Dany Colebunders,  Bastos Ford Rally Team
