About the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth #33 R. Brookes RAC Rally 1989 IXO 1:18
TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Sierra RS Cosworth reproduces car #33, driven by R. Brookes at the 1989 RAC Rally, contested on the demanding British forest stages that gave the "Cossie" its rally reputation early in its competition life.
Britain's forest stages have humbled plenty of capable cars, and the Sierra Cosworth's early rally years were shaped directly by that unforgiving terrain.
The Sierra Cosworth's Early Rally Reputation
Ford developed the Sierra RS Cosworth primarily to satisfy Group A touring car homologation rules, but the car's turbocharged performance and rear-wheel-drive chassis made it a genuine rally contender as well, competing on events like the RAC Rally that tested cars across a demanding mix of narrow, tree-lined forest tracks in variable British weather. The 1989 running of the RAC Rally placed the Sierra Cosworth against established rally manufacturers on a course that punished mechanical fragility and driver error in equal measure, and the car's distinctive whale-tail rear spoiler became one of the most recognizable silhouettes of late-1980s Group A competition regardless of specific result.
IXO's Diecast Rendering of a Period Rally Icon
IXO's extensive WRC-era catalog gives this Sierra genuine context among other Group A rally subjects from the same period, and the car's boxy, aerodynamically simple bodywork, dominated visually by that oversized rear wing, translates cleanly into 1:18 diecast. The livery's period sponsor colors and number placement mark this as a specific, dated entry from British rallying's forest-stage tradition rather than a generic Cosworth tribute.
A Forest-Stage Icon on the Shelf
This Sierra suits any collection built around Group A rallying's late-1980s golden years, a genuinely iconic silhouette regardless of finishing position.
