Nice to see the cars out on track and not just stuck in a garage. Understanding how valuable these cars are and risking them getting damaged takes some consideration. Great for the fans of motor racing. Cheers lads.
Seeing you guys at work(maintenance/restoration) just never gets old. Great to see your skilled hands,knowledge and experience shaping these pieces of history.Beutiful.
G'day from Western Australia, I'm a Holden guy, but it's great to see the RS500's back in tip top shape, Awesome to See Murph doing hotlaps in his old Commodore too. Cheers Lads.
Dead chuffed my GTA is pulling away in the closing part of this video!! 😊 we also have a photo of you from the car as we pulled off xx totally enjoyed the weekend and seeing your amazing cars hope to see u next year x
Another great video chaps. Brilliant to see Steve back in the car. You should try and do a full video with him talking about memories he has with the car. And maybe other drivers with the other cars too?
Was there on Saturday. It was awesome to see "Soperman" back out in "that" fire spitting Eggenberger Rs500 on the Gp circuit. Now if only you could get your hands on a Rousesport Kaliber Cossie and a "Andy" for next years event....😉😍😍😍
Awesome video and so good to see some real work and explanation going on. I love the way you are so happy to share stuff and your not precious about it. I hope you’re going to Goodwood next week. That or any one of the touring cars would fit right in there. Keep up the fantastic work and thanks for all the little tips on 3drs. I’ve used a few and I’m great full
both them RS 500’s and the Mk 2 Mondeo is great to see again,use to watch Steve and Mike Smith in his RS500 loads at Brands as a nipper,nice one Paul 👍😉💪
Takes me back to the ICS Rouse/Hall days when I worked there, I used to pick the new road tyres up that got fitted and balanced then we would "true" the treads on the tyre cutter so during racing they would pretty quicky become nearly slicks.😉
im old enough to remember the Tim Harvey , Andy Rouse days. Used to love the Listerine sierras and the M3s. Also the Civics and Astras running in the same series would be lapped in the later stage of the race
Nice work guys, great to see the Bastos car back on track 😎👍🏻 Made even better as it was driven by one of my all time racing heroes, the legend that is Mr Steve Soper 😎😎😎
Wish I'd known that was on, would have travelled down from Scotland as my Bro in Law lives just up the road from Brands. He actually gets a free pass to all Brands Hatch events due to noise pollution, imagine that, one mans noise pollution is another mans music to the ears.
Brilliant video chaps. Was great seeing Steve in the car and finally… what’s the 500 like compared to the super touring mondeo speed wise? I imagine the Mondeo would beat the 500 on handling not thrills.
You are correct mate , the super tourers out corner the rs500s due to the advanced technology and amazing build . the rs500s still pull down the straights though . both amazing to watch on track
neither are normal threads mate. Thats why you use hylomar or a sealing washer or gasket to seal oil and coolant in. Ive used helicoils to fix sump plug threads with zero issues. I ususually smear them with hylomar blue when i refit them but owners have done their own oil changes afterwards with no leaking issues. I just fire copper or crush washers on anything i think might leak and so should you be.
@@paullinfoot6017 Thanks for reply Paul I wondered after seeing a post on Facebook the photo there has many faces of the guys on what looks like the production area of what might be Tickford I wasn’t sure if Stuart turner or any of his team had anything to do with it, there all getting on in age now am only mid 50s so what I’ve read and know is just history but these guys are the legends of RS fords

@@paullinfoot6017 thanks for the reply. Both brilliant cars but yeah the 500 is the head turner. Have a great weekend 👍🏻
Just for additional information helicoil thread repairs are NOT oil or coolant tight
neither are normal threads mate. Thats why you use hylomar or a sealing washer or gasket to seal oil and coolant in. Ive used helicoils to fix sump plug threads with zero issues.

Hi Paul av got the chance of a 3 door Sierra cos replica with a standard engine do you no in today's market what it's worth thanks
There is a lot of questions before anyone can give a rough value , what is genuine cosworth ? Kit / interior / wheels / condition of the car etc etc
Does anyone know the mystery of the final RS500 number 500 ?????
There are many many tales being told , the truth is , the car is sadly lost and not seen for many years
@@paullinfoot6017 Thanks for reply Paul I wondered after seeing a post on Facebook the photo there has many faces of the guys on what looks like the production area of what might be Tickford I wasn’t sure if Stuart turner or any of his team had anything to do with it, there all getting on in age now am only mid 50s so what I’ve read and know is just history but these guys are the legends of RS fords
Brilliant seeing these cars back in action. I know they’re seriously expensive, but they’re back where they belong.
