About the Ford Escort WRC #7 J. Kankkunen / J. Repo RAC Rally 1998 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Escort WRC #7 reproduces Juha Kankkunen and Juha Repo's 1998 RAC Rally entry, from the final seasons of Ford's Escort-based World Rally Championship program. An accessible diecast covering a genuine chapter of a four-time world champion's career.

Kankkunen had already won world titles before this Escort ever turned a wheel on British gravel, and that experience shows in every rally he entered.

The Escort WRC's Late-1990s Campaign

Ford campaigned the Escort WRC through the mid-to-late 1990s as its front-line World Rally Championship contender before the Focus WRC took over the program at the end of the decade, and Juha Kankkunen, a four-time world champion by this point in his career, drove for Ford during part of that stretch alongside co-driver Juha Repo. The RAC Rally, Britain's round of the championship, was known for punishing forest stages and unpredictable weather, a genuine test of both car and crew rather than a straightforward tarmac event. A correctly liveried #7 car from this specific event ties directly to that documented entry rather than a generic season scheme.

An Accessible Entry Point Into WRC Collecting

IXO has built its catalog around exactly this kind of rally-specific subject, offering broad coverage of WRC liveries and eras at accessible diecast pricing rather than premium exclusivity. The Escort WRC's boxed wheel arches and rally-spec lighting pods translate clearly at 1:18. For a World Rally Championship shelf spanning multiple manufacturers and eras, this Kankkunen entry adds a specific, well-documented result from the Escort's final competitive seasons.
