In 1994, several drivers (Sainz, McRae, Burns and Bourne) competed with Subaru Impreza cars, blue color and "555" decoration. Tyco was clearly inspired by this decoration for its model, although for legal reasons it had to substitute the tobacco brand "555" for ")))". The reference 8377, with #2, was surely inspired by the car with which Sainz and Moya achieved third position at the 1994 Monte Carlo Rally.
