Ford Escort Mk II - Pentti Airikkala - Circuit des Ardennes 1983

This was one of the more difficult projects again.

The texture mapping in this Mk II Escort is quite bad, which leads to the most common sticker locations in older Escorts being distorting and skewing hellholes. Also, no front license plate here despite the actual car having it as I couldn't find a way to include one on the RBR model. And please do not use the additional lights with this skin, as the texture mapping is indeed quite weird/bad. Textures from the front fender (Pepsi logos) appear at the rear of the lights. 

Regardless, here's late great Pentti Airikkala's Pepsi Escort from 1983 Circuit des Ardennes. I personally don't know much of how the rally went for him. A class win in class called B11, but that's not overly impressive as there were two other drivers in it, with neither of them being well known drivers. In the overall rally Pentti was 5th, finishing nine and a half minutes behind the winner Patrick Snijers in a Porsche 911 SC.

Thanks to Voittanen and Thelc for help with some logos.

I have to reveal something. While making this livery I drank lots of Coca-Cola instead of Pepsi. 

Deal with it.
