[Video] Can we build Tamiya Rally cars in a day? | GRR
When we were asked if we’d like to build two remote-controlled Tamiya rally cars we were absolutely delighted. What could be better than jumping back in time to the period of our lives when playing with toy cars was a regular activity, once again embracing our inner eight-year-old? Unfortunately, little did we know that our RC cars wouldn’t be finished for a full three months…
This is Goodwood Road & Racing’s first ever build challenge, and so we decided to start with two icons, Richard Burns’ 1999 Subaru Impreza WRC and Carlos Sainz’s 1998 Ford Escort. Both kits came from Tamiya (you can have pretty much anything, from a Suzuki Jimny to a 911 GT3 Cup or Zakspeed Jägermeister Ford Capri), and the plan was for us to build the cars and get them moving in just one day. Sadly the plan didn’t come together, but with any luck our trials and tribulations will at least prove vaguely entertaining to you, dear viewer…
