This is the BMW M1 Motul #10 Rally Tour De Corse 1982 in 1:18 scale by IXO.

The BMW M1, sporting the Motul livery and numbered 10, was driven by Bernard Darniche with co-driver Alain Mahé during the 1982 Rally Tour de Corse. Bernard Darniche, a renowned French rally driver, brought his considerable skill to this challenging event, known for its winding and narrow tarmac roads on the mountainous island of Corsica. The 1982 Rally Tour de Corse was particularly demanding due to its technical routes that required precision and endurance, earning it the nickname "The Rally of 10,000 Corners." Darniche and Mahé's participation in the BMW M1, a car typically associated with circuit racing rather than rallying, underscored their versatility and the car's adaptability. Their performance highlighted the unique challenge of navigating a high-performance sports car through the treacherous and twisty Corsican stages, making their effort a memorable chapter in the rally's storied history.
