      Paul knows so much about the development of the RS500’s. As we know, these cars continued racing in Australia, into ‘92.
      I’ve always wondered if there were any tentative plans to race the Sapphire Cosworth. The car had a decent career in Group A rallying - and the 4WD would’ve been beneficial against the R32 GTR.

I used to work at a Ford main dealer in the 80's and spent many a weekend at Brands Hatch watching these very cars, so an added pleasure to hear the back story from you. As always thank you Adam for making the video, and to you Paul for fantastic input, totally turned a rubbish lock down evening into big smiles in my house guy's. Cheers, Alex.
