Ford Escort Mk II - Hannu Mikkola - Rally Portugal 1978

The rallying world lost one of it's greats on February 26th. Hannu Mikkola passed away at the age of 78 after a long battle with cancer.

As a tribute, I wanted to do this livery, and one other from Hannu's career. I wanted to have this and 1979 Rally Portugal liveries available, when OLD Rally has it's Rally Portugal in a few weeks. I'll be running these two liveries there as a tribute to Hannu.

In this rally, Hannu managed to finish second. Only behind the undisputed king of Rally Portugal, Markku Alen. But next year Hannu got his revenge and he took first of his three wins here in Portugal.

Sadly this 3d model is not the greatest, so we can't have 100% accurate copy of Hannu's car. For example the extra lights are lacking, and the texture mapping in them is so bad, that it's better to just not use the lights. 

I hope to see as many of you as possible rocking some liveries of Hannu in the near future to pay your respects to one of the all time greats in the history of rallying.
