Stig Blomqvist - Rally Legend
Swedish rally legend, Stig Blomqvist, has inspired several
generations of race drivers. Famed for his smooth driving style, his
glittering career lasted over three decades.
One of the most popular drivers to grace the WRC stage, 1984 World
Rally Champion Stig Blomqvist achieved an incredible 11 wins and 33
podiums. He won his home event, the Swedish Rally, seven times. His
first WRC rally came at home in Sweden in 1973 – and he returned there
for the last time in 2006.
Outside the WRC, he won the British Rally Championship in 1983 and
the Swedish Rally Championship several times. At the Race of Champions,
Blomqvist took the title “Champion of Champions” in 1989 and 1990.
Scalextric celebrate the accomplished career of Stig Blomqvist;
faithfully modelling three of his memorable drives in three very
different machines. In 1985, Stig claimed a respectable 4th place in
the Monte Carlo rally, with co-driver Cederberg, in the No.1 Audi Sport
Quattro.
In November of the same year, as reigning World Champion, Stig took
part in a celebrity TV competition called the “Austin Rover Rally
Sprint”, held at the famous Donington Park race circuit, driving the MG
Metro 6R4.
Stig moved from the Audi works team to the Ford works team for the
1986 FIA World Rally Championship. The No. 2 Ford RS200, driven by Stig
and co-driven by Bruno Berglund, retired from the gruelling 33rd
Acropolis Rally after an accident, but still finished 11th overall in
the 1986 Championship.
