Nevertheless the LC2 was showing quite a performance in terms of raw speed, bringing home during his racing career, 13 pole positions and 11 fastest lap.

Fenix Racing decided to depict the last Lancia victory, Spa 1985, although the result itself was overshadow by Stefan Bellof crash. Produced in 0.75mm crystal clear lexan, the body is made to fit Tamiya Group C models, Fenix F1-70 and 200mm Pro10 models.
