In the aftermath of 1995 debacles, Didier Auriol participated in only two WRC events in 1996. He drove for Subaru in Sweden and in this magnificient Mitsubishi Evo III in San Remo.
It really was a one-off drive to help Mitsubishi achieve their target to capture Manufacturer’s title as Makinnen already had Driver’s title in the bag at that time.
For the record, the Top Ten result was:
1 MCRAE C. /RINGER D. Subaru Impreza 4:26'57
2 SAINZ C. /MOYA L. Ford Escort Cosworth
3 THIRY B. /PREVOT S. Ford Escort Cosworth
4 LOIX F. /SMEETS S. Toyota Celica ST205
5 ERIKSSON K. /PARMANDER S. Subaru Impreza
6 CUNICO G. /SCALVINI P. Ford Escort Cosworth
7 PIANEZZOLA G. /ROGGIA L. Toyota Celica ST205
8 AURIOL D. /GIRAUDET D. Mitsubishi L. 4'53 behind the winner
9 MEDEGHINI A. /"MEDEGHINI" Subaru Impreza
10 BERNARDINI P. /SAVIGNONI D. Ford Escort Cosworth
Where do you get these decals & do they do Richard Burns version?
ReplyDeleteIt is a Racing 43 decal. Yes I think the same decal has Burns option as well as Catalunya and San Remo version. If you are really interested, I can dig my decal box to see I still have one. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThat would be great if you could, I'm going to start my own blog on rally models on the weekend
