Raphys 2169 Yamato Horizon[3]
"Thanks to its short wheels base, reliability and tune-ability the Horizon was prized among rally drivers. Much like the Mk1 and 2 Ford Escort. Or the Lancia Beta, but much, much more reliable. When the serious teams, such as Red Bull and TOTAL got their hands on one in 2171, this thing won 12 consecutive titles, and another in 2185. The one you see here is a special, with white and red colour scheme, was a tribute to those who died on the battleship Yamato, inspired by the Japanese flag."
Yeah, I decided Raph's little beauty was worthy of a rally make over, it looked the right shape. So I did just that. Note the mud flap and lack of them at the front.
