About the Skoda Felicia Kit Car #19 P. Sibera / P. Gross Tour de Corse 1995 IXO 1:18
TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Skoda Felicia Kit Car recreates the #19 entry driven by Pavel Sibera and co-driver Petr Gross at the 1995 Tour de Corse, competing in the World Rally Championship's short-lived F2 Kit Car category. Diecast construction reproduces the widened arches this two-liter homologation class demanded.
Skoda's rally story usually starts with the Fabia and Octavia, but the Felicia Kit Car quietly laid the groundwork for that later success.
Diecast Detail on a Kit Car-Class Homologation Special
F2 Kit Cars ran two-liter, largely front-wheel-drive machinery with modified bodywork rather than the all-wheel-drive Group A cars dominating the outright WRC standings, and the Felicia's widened arches and rally-spec lighting pod reflect that specific homologation formula. Diecast construction holds those bolted-on arch extensions and the mud-flap detailing typical of a Tour de Corse tarmac entry with clean, defined edges, and the Sibera/Gross livery's sponsor graphics need sharp tampo printing to stay legible across the car's compact hatchback surfaces. This is a subject built for detail-focused rally collectors rather than casual shelf browsers, since its significance depends entirely on recognizing the Kit Car category it represents.
Skoda's Early Steps in World Rallying
Skoda's Felicia Kit Car program in the mid-1990s represented the manufacturer's early return to competitive international rallying after decades away from the world stage, running in a category that gave smaller manufacturers a genuine chance to compete without the budgets required for full Group A or later World Rally Car programs. Tour de Corse, a demanding tarmac-surface round of the championship, tested the Felicia's chassis on exactly the kind of technical, grip-dependent stages the Kit Car class was designed around. For a collector tracing Skoda's rally lineage back before its Fabia-era prominence, the Felicia Kit Car is a genuinely important early chapter.
