This is the Ford Focus WRC 02 No.5 Winner Safari Rally 2002 McRae/Grist in 1:18 scale by Spark.

The Ford Focus WRC 02 No. 5 won the 2002 Safari Rally with legendary Scottish driver Colin McRae and co-driver Nicky Grist, giving McRae his third Safari Rally victory and his 25th and final WRC win. McRae was famous for his spectacular, aggressive driving style and remarkable ability to control a rally car at the limit, while Grist was one of the most experienced and successful co-drivers of his generation. The Focus RS WRC '02 was particularly suited to the brutal Safari, featuring four-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, sophisticated electronic differentials, and heavily reinforced suspension and underbody protection to survive the event's punishing roads. The 2002 Safari covered more than 1,000 competitive kilometers, with torrential rain and rough terrain eliminating most of the field—only 11 of 48 starters finished. McRae and the Focus survived the ordeal to win by 2 minutes 50.9 seconds, making this one of the most memorable victories of McRae's career.
