Scalextric 1/32 Analog RTR Ford RS2000 Costa Brava 1986 Livery - Digital Plug Ready
History
The 24th Rally Costa Brava began on 20th February 1986 in Lloret de
Mar on Spain's Mediterranian coast. The three day rally, run on asphalt
occasionally covered with gravel and snow, saw 94 teams start the
race but a high attrition rate saw 64 cars retire, including this Group
B, Ford RS200 of Antonio Zanini and Josep Autet.
Originally a 1984-1986 4-wheel drive Group B rally car, the famous
Ford RS200 was extensively used in rallying and rallycross and can still
be spotted in competition today. The car was soon replicated as a
standard road car as demand grew from motoring enthusiasts who wanted
road going versions. Many kit-car businesses have reproduced this
iconic competition car from road use as well as for continued
competition after Ford ceased production.
Power came from a 1.8 litre, single turbocharged Ford Cosworth "BDT"
engine producing up to 450 horsepower (340kW) in racing trim. Although
the RS had the balance and poise necessary to be competitive, its power
to weight ratio was poor by comparison, and its engine produced
notorious low-RPM lag, making it difficult to drive.
