In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Ford was one of the most successful brands in touring car racing with the Sierra RS500. The car competed against BMW M3s and Mercedes-Benz 190 Es in the ETCC, DTM and BTCC, for example, starting in 1987. Compared to the normal Sierra RS Cosworth, the RS500 received a larger Garrett turbocharger, a bigger intercooler, different injectors, a modified cooling system and a second fuel line from the tank to the engine. On the bodywork, a new front spoiler lip and a slightly modified rear wing were used. Instead of the fog lights, air intakes were added to the vehicle to improve cooling of the front brakes. For homologation purposes, 500 road cars were built. 909 Motorsport built the race cars on the basis of bodyshells with integrated rollcages. In the BTCC alone, the Sierra won 40 races, making it the most successful car there.<\/p>\n\n\n
