INFO: 

In 1987, a 224 bhp (167 kW) Sierra Cosworth, the RS500, was sold alongside the 204 hp (152 kW) 
version. Only 500 were produced as the minimum number of road-going cars required to meet with 
newly introduced homologation racing rules, allowing it to compete in evolution form for group 
A racing. The car was modified by the Tickford Engineering Company in conjunction with Ford. 
Revisions included uprated brakes and larger brake cooling ducts and modified front and rear 
spoilers (a second smaller rear spoiler was added beneath the large "whale-tail"), a modified 
front bumper to allow extra cooling for a larger intercooler, as well as various engine 
upgrades including a larger turbocharger and a second fuel rail (which did not operate on road 
models). Race outputs were as high as 550 bhp (410 kW/558 PS), in which the Sierra dominated 
group A series around the world.

ABOUT:

This car was scratch made using Zanoza Modeler v1.07b and Photoshop CS and will work in Racer
version 064c and up (I hope...). Older damper settings are included in the car.ini, so it 
should be a simple task to get it to work ok in older versions of Racer.

As with all my projects, my motivation was simply that I wanted to drive this car in a sim.
I grew up with this car and for me it will always be an motorsport icon and an reminder of
what motorsport should be all about. Insane power! 

The initial release feature the road version in black, white and Moonstone Blue.

Please keep in mind that this is a beta release with a few errors and bugs still waiting to be
sorted.

**********************************************************************************************

KNOWN BUGS/ERRORS/MISSING STUFF:

- Some qlog errors
- Top speed too low
- No interior
- Sounds could be better
- Ini lacking accurate aero values
- No calipers

There are also bugs/errors in Racer that are noticable when driving this car:

- Wastegate stutter on revlimiter
- No wastegate on lower revs
- Diffs not working properly (no donuts...)
- Arbs acting weird
