RS200 Gallery

 

Ford launched the RS200 very carefully. It won the British national Lindisfarne Rally 1985  before it would impress as a course opening car on the RAC the same year.  Audi sacked Blomqvist and with Blomqvist a  free agent, the RAC suddenly had a WRChamp in a brand new groupB car as N°0 course opening car.

The RS200’s official WRC debut was the Swedish 1986, where Stig Blomqvist lead initially before his engine died in extremely cold conditions – not a rare fault during the 1986 Rally Sweden – but team mate Kalle Grundel took a podium on the car’s WRC debut.

In the first special stage, Portuguese works Ford rally driver Joaquim Santos came over a crest too fast, which led to the car getting too wide through the corner. Santos managed to avoid the crowd on the outside of the corner, but he wasn't able to avoid the crowd on the inside of the corner. The inevitable happened: the Ford RS200 left the road, plunging right into the crowd, killing three and injuring dozens more. After this accident all works teams withdrew from the rally
