Grew up watching WRC at 2am on Speed channel and always preferred the Peugeot 206 to the others. Its always been one of the greats on my list. Its pretty awesome the nostalgia evoked by the shape and specs of the new GRC.

I saw those actually race. Had a 205 GTI 1.9 Griffe back then.

That’s too cool man. Was it a specific WRC event? And the 205 very nice! Really they did great with the proportions on those things.

I believe it was the 2000 RMC. Ended up moving to the US a couple years later and that was the end of being able to spectate and drive those special stages.

What a time! Would have loved to see that in person.

I remember very finally a yellow Matchbox 205 T16 car that I had as a kid. Totally set me off on hot hatches and rally cars back then.

Yeah. Love the GTI. Had 2 of them. Most of them got crashed coz they were pretty tricky to drive fast.

Shame that the road car version, called the 206 GT, isn't even anywhere near the WRC version, same goes for the Citroen C4 by Loeb.
