About the Mitsubishi Carisma GT Group N2 R. Burns / R. Reid RAC Rally 1997 White Otto 1:18
TL;DR: This Otto 1:18 resin Mitsubishi Carisma GT Group N2 in White reproduces Richard Burns and Robert Reid's 1997 RAC Rally entry, an early outing for a co-driver pairing that would go on to define British rallying. Sealed resin holds the rally-spec bodywork and livery with sharp, consistent panel lines.
Richard Burns and Robert Reid became one of rallying's most decorated pairings, and this Carisma GT catches their partnership at an early stage, well before the world title that would follow.
Rally-Spec Bodywork Cast in Sealed Resin
Group N regulations kept rally cars closer to their road-going shape than the wilder Group A machines of the previous decade, and that relatively stock silhouette gives resin an easier subject to render accurately than a heavily flared World Rally Car body. Otto's Carisma GT holds tight body lines around the standard-shape arches and bumpers, with the period sponsor livery and rally plate detailing printed crisply against the White base color. Sealed construction fits a rally subject naturally, since these cars were built to survive stages rather than to be admired with the doors open, and the model's stance and ride height reflect the taller, rougher-road setup that separated a Group N2 entry from its showroom sibling.
An Early Chapter in the Burns and Reid Partnership
Richard Burns and Robert Reid began working together as driver and co-driver in the late 1990s, a partnership that would eventually deliver the World Rally Championship title, and this Carisma GT entry at the 1997 RAC Rally sits at the front end of that story. For collectors building a British rallying theme or a Mitsubishi motorsport lineage, this piece fills a specific gap that later, more famous Lancer Evolution liveries from the same team don't cover, the earlier, less glamorous machinery that came before the championship years.
