@TheExoDozzMRT @TKimmell @FairozAzami According to the entry list of Pikes Peak 2013 Tajima is driving the same electric car as last year. Monster Sport's website says that the Super 86 is for All Japan Dirt Trial Championship.
@ToyotaSupraMan I was about to write the same thing. Looks like the old Suzuki with new stickers
@sean klingelhoefer @roninlotus211 Toyota's F1, Rally and LMP cars are/were built by TMG ( Toyota Motorsport Gmbh) which is a German company.
@jonas maurstad Didn't you know that we engineers have internet in the heaven too
Great article. Only one mistake: The gearbox wasn't rear mounted but centrally, between the drivers. Sorry, I'm anal about rally cars :D
For me the Sierra RS Cosworth is the one. My childhood hero car spitting flames from the side exit exhaust and kicking ass on track, street, tarmac rallies and sometimes even on gravel.
And RWB is a copy of 993 GT2. I'm pretty sure VAD used left over RWB parts or used the same molds.
Anyway people should stop this ranting about copying this and copying that. Every form exists somewhere in nature. Stop using Apple as your lifestyle coach.

Educate yourself before opening your mouth.
SH readers have short memories...

Do you feel a little stupid now RyanKuan?
@RallySportDirect JT For me that looks more like hell than a place to visit. Surveillance, congestion, tolls... now i really appreciate the freedom we have in northern Europe.
It would be nice if you could mention also the winners of the ALMS race.
Millen's car was actually much further from LMP-car than Tajima's Suzuki. The Hyundai had a tube frame chassis where Monster's Suzuki used carbon monocoque. Sticker headlamps and grille seem to fool everyone.
Ford's performance division was Boreham not Tickford. Tickford was just a factory specialized in small batch production. The cars were developed in Boreham and assembled in Tickford. Great article and an awesome car.
I really respect the fabricating skills of the builder, but it really disappoints me to always see on these kind of builds that the builder has taken inspiration and design principles from the right sources without understanding what makes those designs work. Though I have to say that the roll cage is quite well designed. Still.. the aero seems to be a pretty big mess, but I hope its still a work in progress and will improve. Best of luck for the builder and please make some decent ducting for the coolers.
Stian Hafsengen's Escort WRC will always be my favourite
