Description
Type: Rally Car
Crew: 2 (Driver, Navigator)
Manufacturer: Ford/Cosworth
Overview:
Built Between 1992-1996 the Ford Escort RS Cosworth was designed by Stephen Harper, and Frank Stephenson of the Cosworth Engineering Group to perform in Group A, WRC events. It had mixed success with many team around the world, until it was eventually replaced with the Ford Focus RS. The road going version was build in Rheine, Germany and the car still has a dedicated cult following with these vehicles still being seen at car shows today.
There's a certain charm to a Cossie. I wanted to build a rally car that was different, had decent details, and I gave myself a 250 part limit. I think I did pretty okay. The rear suspension may be odd to some, but it helps with oversteer, and is set up more like a FWD. Feel free tune it as needed. Also, I've been MIA for a while, taking test right now to become a pilot, and I am kind of tired of looking at aircraft, so I built a car instead. I'm still working on my other builds, but until I pass (or fail...) these last tests, my builds will probably be these little fun ones I make on breaks.

@TheTrainMakerBois987 I'm switching my focus to mobile friendly builds. The Escort was a test for a more iconic rally car, which I'm hopefully going to have out this weekend.
Well i guess Simple low part count cars were on a trend again i guess...
Also a last tip I forgot to add, if you flip over, and the rear tires make contact with the mud flaps, just go into reverse and the car should flip over. Don't ask, it's just me abusing the games mechanics.
