Driven by Petter Solberg to win the Japan WRC rally in September 5th 2004 after head-to-head with Ford Focus, Peugeot 307, & it’s arc rival, the Lancer Evo. It was built by Prodrive by fitting wide body arches to fit wider tires & huge spoilers at the back to produce downforce. Stripped interior, roll cages, bigger brakes & just like they put on the Evo, 18’inch Fullrace A by Braid wheels.
Like on the Evo, I decided to bring this old rally legend alive by making the best render shots I can make. And off I go spending hours picking on colour codes, mapping textures, tuning backdrops & studio lights, & camera position for the best render shots. And finally after a long process, what I saw were beyond my expectation. I can see every droplets of soft light reflection drawn perfectly on the wide body arches. The blue metallic flakes can also be seen clearly, which really are eye catching. The tires, brakes, head & taillights, & all other body parts textures were done precisely. It’s just brilliant.
