Depends if you mean Group A or WRC esc Carl?

Thiry drove a group A car in 1996 and Schwartz drove a WRC in 1997

IIRC correctly it was Gwyndaf in the Esc Cos rally car in the original TV advert....

I do remember Gwyndaf in Indonesia....he has vast history with ford stretching back to the 'Mr Tomkinson' pink 3 door.....do you have no pics of that car Carl? One of my first rallying memories are of Jim Mcrae, Phil Collins and Gwyndaf on the Cartel rally going through Harewood house in 3 doors....lol....how old do I sound....

quite a few drivers did development, the one driver who did the most was gwyndaf,the others like wilson,delacour,biasion, did proper rallys and some testing of the new car while driving sierras. you have to remember the sierra was a current rally car when all the testing for the escort was going on.

In 1996 there were 7 different drivers who drove Repsol Escort Cosworth's
and in 1997 there were 3 the only one being the same is Carlos Sainz.

1996 - Sainz, Delecour, Evans, Rukmana, Blomqvist, Vatanen and Thiry

1997 - Sainz, Schwarz and Kankkunen

david gillanders wasn't he a dentist and a mate of malcoms, its all coming back to me now,sandy dalgarno,drew gallagher, ahh the good old days.

oy mickey i looked on the german site a few weeks ago and the wrc car was not on there so it can't be a old ad, maybe its a wrc car with repsol colours and a 4 quid number plate chucked on. i could buy the ram sport car and paint it repsol colours and ask 150k euros, the mrs would not be happy living in a tent though

It is him. Known him 2 1/2 years and never realised . He's a nice chap and very modest with it. He's put me in touch with Graham Quick who used to build the rally cars with him and he's taking a look at my Escort.

if not who is and who is his co driver? the side flags show belgium coloured flags if I am not mistaken hence the confusion? That would suggest duval, liox, Thiery?? Did he come in as a late replacement for the driver that should have driven this rally? Catalunya according to the side panel
