The Rally of Great Britain
Cool, damp and slippery
conditions are the norm of this unpredictable and gravel-surfaced final WRC
event that runs through the rugged forests of Southern Wales. Tamiya presents a
1/24 scale model of the Subaru Impreza machine that captured the WRC 2001
Driver's Championship under the skilled driving of Richard Burn's at the always
unpredictable and never dull Rally of Great Britain.
About the Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 Rally of Great
Britain
When Richard Burns
earned his first Drivers' Championship Title in the 2001 World Rally
Championship season it would mark the first time that an English man became
champion in WRC history. The car Richard Burns drove in this brilliant season
was the Impreza WRC 2001. The 2001 Impreza adopted a four-door sedan body and
was highlighted by compound headlights, spoiler attached to the extreme rear and
blister-style fenders. Based on race feedback from previous Imprezas, various
modifications were made to improve reliability. The well-balanced horizontally
opposed 4-cylinder turbo engine underwent extensive tuning to boost
responsiveness, and major progress was made with electronic control of the
semi-automatic transmission and front, center, and rear differential gearing.
