Tamiya 24226 - 1/24 Peugeot 206 WRC 2000 Season  [24226]

Towards Peugeot 206 WRC 2000

Here is the TA24226 a 1/24 scale Peugeot 206 WRC 2000 synthetic model kit from the Sports Car Series by Tamiya. Peugeot's two white and blue devices stirred up the 6th battle associated with 1999 World Rally Championships (WRC), the Tour de Corse, recording the top time at SS2 and 2nd most readily useful time from SS3 through SS6. Although machine difficulty kept them from taking top finishes, they did flourish in showing the nimble rate of Peugeot's lengthy awaited rally competitor, the 206 WRC, if they raced towards the championship for just two years straight because of the 205 T16.

In a fresh departure through blue lion motif regarding the 1999 model, Peugeot's 206 has returned the 2000 period, boasting an intrepid argentine outside. Its body design remains real to your compact FF two-door hatchback base of past 206 and features a two level straight back wing. Underneath the bonnet you will find a 300hp 2.0 liter 16 valve engine and an electronically managed 4WD system. The gearbox of 206 is manufactured along with X-Trac and it is longitudinally installed to greatly help packaging and fat circulation. After an experienced 1999, Peugeot came ultimately back for the 2000 season entering three devices within the Monte Carlo opener. Unfortunately, after a cold evening all three automobiles declined to restart.

But inside following Swedish Rally, Marcus Gronholm sealed triumph for peugeot among a competitive industry. Later in period, he took very first reward at the Rally New Zealand, followed by just one single more triumph on Rally Finland, positioning him as the points frontrunner into the competition the WRC Drivers Championship.
