Ford RS200 Group B Rally Car Information & Database

Since we don't really have a section dedicated to events that show the RS200 in action I thought I'd create a sticky with a few events that Jim has already listed and that are likely to have RS200's taking part this year...

39th Rallye Cesky Krumlov
Dates: 27-28/5/2011
Location: Cesky Krumlov - Czech Republic

Tuscan Rewind

Only the second edition of this event but from the success they had last year I thought it could be of interest to go and see. No RS200's in the start list as far as I know so far but many other Group B cars.

Dates: 20-22 May 2011
Location: Montalcino (Tuscany - Italy)

No RS200 in the entry list again for this event but with the confirmed participation of "Slowly Sideways" and a list of very interesting cars.

Dates: 29-30 April 2011
Location: Delemont - Switzerland

Rally Legend 2011

Another great event that welcomes Group B cars. Entry list is not finalized yet but if it's anything like last year it should be very interesting. Also a special feature this year to celebrate the 40 years of the Stratos (1971-2011)...

Dates: 6-9 October 2011
Location: San Marino (Repubblica di San Marino) - Italy

Hi All,

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Jim Avis' mechanic and have been involved with RS200's since their inception!

Living in Chelmsford, within earshot of Boreham, has led to me being asked if I can help support the Chelmsford Museum Service with a display of cars that have an involvement with Boreham. The event will be part of the summer long exhibition they are holding to mark the life of the airfield, from bombers, to racing, to Ford Motor Company and to dwellings!

On 13th August, I invite all RS200 owners to bring their car to the Oaklands Park Museum, to display them on the front lawn! With a little help from some friends, I also hope to have some of the other cars that have Boreham in their history, perhaps RS1700T etc.

If you are interested, please get in touch directly with me by email, spludge1@tiscali.co.uk where I can give you more detail on the location etc.

I have already spoken with a number of you, so please, lets make this the biggest groups of RS200's together since those pictures we have all seen of Shenstone! It would be fantastic to have 25 cars to celebrate 25 years of the RS200.

Regards

Hi Blue Oval Boy,

Many thanks for your introduction and welcome to the RS200.org forums. Sounds like you are preparing a great show at Boreham. Best of luck with the organization and looking forward to hearing more on the forums.

Cheers,
Klaus

British Rallycross Championship, Round 5, Lydden Hill

Its not 100% yet, but there is a new "retro" class being introduced at Round 5 of the British Rallycross Championship at Lydden Hill on 29th August.

Not sure on what form this class is going to take, or even who is going to be entered yet, but I'd be very surprised if the Doran's RS200 doesn't appear on track, so could be a good opportunity to check out a rallycross RS200 in action!

Date: 29th August 2011
Location: Lydden Hill Circuit, Wootton, Kent, CT4 6RX.
