Almost 40 years after it burst onto the scene, Ford's Sierra RS Cosworth remains one of the most thrilling tin-top racers of all time. In today's Great Read, Dickie Meaden takes one for a blast then compares notes with Steve Soper and Andy Rouse
It's July 1988 and I'm at Brands Hatch, waiting impatiently between Druids and Graham Hill Bend for the manic pack of RS500 Cosworths, E30 M3s and assorted Class C and D flotsam and jetsam to come hooning down the hill for the first time.
When they do it's Andy Rouse and Steve Soper who are duking it out at the head of the field, Rouse's pale blue and white Kaliber-sponsored Cosworth leading the mean-looking black and day-glo orange Texaco-liveried Eggenberger RS500 apparently attached to the former's rear bumper. Their battle would prove to be one of the defining highlights of a golden era.
