Picture of the day - Škoda Octavia WRC (back in a days) with flames from exhaust

in #sport6 years ago

Hi, Steemers!

It doesn't matter for me how old is some picture or from what rally - it only matters if I feel some adrenaline from it. And when you see a picture like this - from the real action, you know that pure pleasure is here and probably a maximum attack is around a corner.

Because Luis Climent is a driver on the picture, I have to say some things about him without looking anywhere on the internet because my brain is some kind of a rally wikipedia.

He drove a works Škoda Octavia WRC and kit car also (If I remember good) on Rally Catalunya because in that time, and it was around a year 2000, works teams used to give a third car to some local specialist just because of a marketing reasons. They always thought that locals will want to see their local hero and if they like the car, they could probably buy a road version of it.

That's why a works teams compete - just to sell the cars. No way they would spend money on nothing.

These days this doesn't exist anymore.

So, today's photo of the day belongs to Luis Climent and the Škoda Octavia WRC from Rally Catalunya.
