This Footwork–Arrows car had a disastrious 1991 season. Firstly it couldn’t fit its engine, the Porsche 3512 3.5 V12, but even when it did it was heavy, slow, and unreliable. By mid-season the team redesigned the chassis to fit a Hart-prepared Cosworth-Ford DFR V8 engine, but that only led to a season high 10th-place finish in the Japanese Grand Prix.
First seen in sim racing with F1GP (1992).

Back on December 13, 2019 the folks at Codemasters released three World RX Supercars for DiRT Rally 2.0. You can take a look at their details (below) and purchase them on Steam for $1.99 each if you do not own the season pass.
Peugeot 208 WRX
The Peugeot 208 WRX was built in early 2018 and took its first victory at Mettet in Belgium. Team Hansen MJP returned in 2019 and were immediately competitive, with Kevin Hansen taking victory in Abu Dhabi and Timmy ending the season as World Champion. The car was extremely fast and stable in the corners, with the Hansen brothers making the most of this with their noticeably smooth driving styles.
