Interestingly, the three KR02 DL-cars' chassis numbers are the opposite direction as the alphabet goes (DLZ - C012, DLX - C015). Well, to say the least, I don't have to keep a long story short, as she had only three rallies during her entire career, and was unlucky enough not to finish any of them; not exactly a fairy tale...
She debuted as an asphalt car for Alister McRae on the 2002 Deutschland Rallye, but was forced to retire after the turbo blew up.

Her next event was Rally Sanremo, but McRae had injured himself prior to th event. In fact, his problems were worse than they thought, and had to withdraw him from the event.

It is just a mere irony that Jani Paasonen, the substitution driver for McRae in GB got to drive her, but after being really off the pace, he crashed the car really badly, ending the season and the car on a low, too.

Whereabouts
She was crashed on the last event before Mitsu went for a holiday season, and a new car was in the works, so it's safe to say she wasn't repaired, instead, fed to the grim reaper.
