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 race 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 trouble kept them from taking top finishes, they did flourish in demonstrating the nimble rate of Peugeot's very long awaited rally competitor, the 206 WRC, when they raced to the championship for two years directly because of the 205 T16.

In a brand new departure through the blue lion motif of the 1999 model, Peugeot's 206 is back the 2000 season, boasting an intrepid argentine outside. Its body design remains true to your compact FF two-door hatchback base of past 206 and features a two degree back wing. Underneath the bonnet you'll find a 300hp 2.0 liter 16 valve motor and an electronically controlled 4WD system. The gearbox of 206 is made together with X-Trac and is longitudinally installed to simply help packaging and fat distribution. After a highly skilled 1999, Peugeot came back for the 2000 season entering three machines within the Monte Carlo opener. Regrettably, after a cold night all three automobiles declined to restart.

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