Driving a Ford Escort RS Cosworth Gr.A prepared by RAS Sport, Bruno Thiry was among the elite of world rallying. Just before finishing the season on a high with a podium finish on the RAC Rally, Bruno took a magnificent 4th place at Sanremo in the wake of Didier Auriol, Carlos Sainz and Miki Biasion, but also ahead of Colin McRae, Gianfranco Cunico and Juha Kankkunen…

This Ford Escort Cosworth Gr.A was decorated in the colours of Giesse and Aprimatic, and will always be remembered. At Rally 4 Passion, Bruno Thiry will find these famous colours again on his 1994 Sanremo replica Ford Escort RS Cosworth Gr.A from the MY Vintage workshops.
