American company Ford has been present in the racing scene for many years. It also has a specific vehicle for Australian racing- the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500. This came to Australia in 1987 and was with the German team Eggenberger Motorsport. Championships in both 1988 and 1989 were claimed by the Dick Johnson Racing Team for Cosworth’s. The last one was built in 1992, as seen in this video. The car is powered by a 2 litre engine. A 6-speed gearbox is used to power the Cosworth, same as the one in Ford GTR. As per race driver Craig Markland, the vehicle generates a little over 600hp of power.
