Ford Escort RS Cosworth - Ari Vatanen - Rally Finland 1994

Beautiful car, got to run only for a few stages sadly.

I've heard a story that Ari got the opportunity to have a proper works car for this rally, as one of the regular works drivers had some issue preventing them from participating in Rally Finland in 1994. Ari had already made a deal with SMS to run in their Escort in Rally Finland. Who did that works Escort then go to? Tommi Mäkinen. He happened to win the rally if you didn't know. But like I said, it's a story and I'm not 100% sure if it's legitimate or not.

Ari's rally was not much to celebrate. He retired on SS4 according to eWRC results. He clipped a stone and something snapped from the suspension, forcing him to retire. Shame.

Since he retired from the rally early, it was rather tricky to find enough source material to create the skin but I like to think I did an allright job with this.

Hope you guys won't wreck your suspensions when using this skin, enjoy!




Here's some pictures of the skin in action. Pictures by Onza. More pictures on his Flickr site.
