I'm struggling to release the car from the base! There is a diagram that suggests it's a left hand thread fixing screw, but it's very tight in both directions!
Any tips?

Ha! Glad I'm not the only one!
I had exactly the same problem.
After multiple frustrating attempts to detach mine in the suggested way I ended up sawing through the blessed hold-down pin!'
Having done so I found it 'should' only need a quarter turn then pull out - but would it? No!

That's it. Use a coin to turn it 90°, then the pin will go down and you will have to pull out the car because it is still remaining fixed to the box.

I tried using more effort than I was comfortable with for a plastic toy.
Think it will be the hacksaw blade solution.

I’m getting worried now, since the proxy Rally Sprint event. These rally cars seem to be getting addictive.

Very nice. Bodyshell looks a lot like the Fly 911 though.
