If you’re a fan of the FIA World Rally Championsh­ip—and really, if you’ve seen some of the high-flying, dirt-slinging, snow-drifting action, how could you not be?—then you really need to keep on top of the latest batch of releases from IXO. No one delivers more current and classic WRC cars in 1:43 than

IXO, and they’ve just announced a bunch of new car/driver/race-specific combos for the 2018 season that is underway. Among them is a trio from the 2018 Monte Carlo Rally: the overallwin­ning Ford Fiesta of Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia, the fourth-place Citroën C3 of Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle, and one of the three Škoda Fabia R5s—that of Olivier Burri and Anderson Levratti—that swept the podium in the RC2 class. That’s rounded out by the 2017-season-ending Monza Rally Show–winning Ford Fiesta of motorcycle-masterturn­ed-rally-driver Valentino Rossi as well as two of nine-time WRC Champ Sébastien

Loeb’s cars: his 2018 Mexico Rally Citroën—his first race back in WRC since 2015 (he finished fifth)—and his privately owned Peugeot 208, in which he won the non-championsh­ip

2017 Chablais Rally through the French and Swiss Alps with his wife Séverine as co-driver.
