Guess The Blurred Racecar!

[Danny]

Lancia 037?

 

[Metar]

Nope.

 

[Speedster502]

Yup it's time for my random guess moment:

Audi Quattro, more specifically this one:

 

[Metar]

It's pretty, but not it.

 

[boiltheocean]

MG Metro 6R4?

 

[Peter]

I think it's an old Peugeot Group C car, or maybe a Ford RS200

 

[Bram Turismo]

Is it a Marlboro livery on that car? It certainly looks like it...

I'm going to put a guess for now on the Sierra Cosworth Rally car?

 

[Metar]

It's not a Marlboro.

The car accomplished some noteworthy feat in the past, and was the last of it's kind to do so.

 

[Ian Poole]

Let's try the Toyota Corolla, the first car to be fitted with a six speed gearbox

 

[C-ZETA]

Ford Escort MK I Rally?

 

[Speedster502]

It's not something from Pikes Peak is it? I can't think specifics but I'm sure someone else will know.

 

[Metar]

Might've raced Pikes Peak, but I'm talking the World Rally Championship racing.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I'm going to guess it's a Mitsubishi Starion?

 

[Metar]

Nope. Next hint: One of it's drivers is a famous test-driver these days.

 

[Ian Poole]

Toyota Celica? Sainz and Auriol drove it?

 

[Tedehur]

Mazda RX-7 Group B ?

 

[Metar]

Cyril?!


But nope.

 

[Tedehur]

Yeah, I don't play GT5P but I'm still taking a look here frequently

Renault 5 Turbo ?

 

[Metar]

Neither do I, and I still annoy these guys.


And again, a no.

 

[Ian Poole]

It's not a Cossie (Ford Escort Cosworth) is it

 

[Tedehur]

Nissan 200SX S12 V6 ?

 

[Metar]

Nope.


Look closely at my hints. Google, Wiki and Wolfram|Alpha* the hell out of them - cross reference and match. If you stumble across the correct Wiki for the car, or driver, I guarantee the other hints will match up.

*W|A is cool, but won't help, I think

 

[Tedehur]

You mean it's the Opel Ascona driven by Walter Röhrl ?

 

[Ian Poole]

Right, i think I have the driver but two of the cars have been a no-no so now i try a Ford Focus

 

[Metar]

You mean it's the Opel Ascona driven by Walter Röhrl ?

That's right. Röhrl, Porsche's famous 'ring-meister, driving the last car to win the championship without front-wheel drive. :tup:

 

[Ian Poole]

great guess tedheur

 

[Tedehur]

Thanks.
I guess it's my turn to blur a pic now, I'll start looking for one.

 

[Tedehur]

Not to blurred, shouldn't last long

 

[Danny]

Land Rover Defender from the Dakar?

 

[Metar]

'80s Mitsubishi Pajero?
Or a Landrover Defender? Tree'ed.
