About the Ford Sierra RS500 #44 J. Wiedler Nurburgring 24 Hours 1989 Solido 1:18

TL;DR: Solido's 1:18 diecast Ford Sierra RS500 #44 recreates J. Wiedler's 1989 Nurburgring 24 Hours entry, with opening doors over a stripped racing cockpit. This is a used example, and the box shows traces of storage while the model itself remains sound. A genuine period touring car livery for a Group A shelf.

The Sierra RS500 dominated Group A touring car racing in the late 1980s, and this #44 Nurburgring entry captures the car during its most competitively significant years.

Solido's Build of the RS500 Race Livery

The zinc alloy body carries real weight, and the Sierra's boxy rear wing and flared arches, the visual signature of the RS500's Group A homologation kit, are cast with sharp, defined edges. The doors open onto a stripped cockpit fitted with a roll cage and single racing seat, a clear break from the road-going Sierra's cabin. Livery graphics for car #44 are applied cleanly across the body, including sponsor markings and number plates. As a used piece, the model carries some handling history; the box shows traces of storage while the casting itself remains presentable.

The RS500's Legacy on the Track

Ford built the RS500 specifically to homologate upgraded turbo and aerodynamic components for Group A competition, and the car became one of the most successful touring cars of its era across multiple national championships. The Nurburgring 24 Hours added an endurance dimension to a car more commonly associated with short sprint races, giving this particular livery a slightly different story than a standard circuit-racing Sierra. Displayed with other late-1980s Group A cars, this Sierra anchors a genuinely significant chapter of touring car history rather than a generic race-liveried road car.
