RSD (Rallysport Development) along with BILSTEIN proved to be the dominate force on the R.A.C (Roger Albert Clark) rally 2014.

The event, regarded to be the toughest historic rally in the UK, was ran over the weekend of 28th-30th November. Crews from across Europe tackled the 163 stage miles in and around the infamous Kielder Forest

RSD had three cars running, Matthew Robinson/Sam Collis and Nick Elliott/ Dave Price in group 4 Ford Mk2 Escorts and Julian Reynolds/ Patrick Walsh in the eagerly awaited group 4 Fiat 131. All 3 cars had been built in the RSD factory and use BILSTEIN damper units.

“The fantastic result is testament to the outstanding quality of the BILSTEIN dampers” says RSD spokesman, Chris Deighton “We are very proud of our relationship with BILSTEIN, these cars used BILSTEIN dampers in the 1970’s/1980’s and are still the damper of choice today”.

After 3 days of gruelling stages the rally finished with Matthew Robinson/ Sam Collis 1st overall (Ford Mk2 Escort), Nick Elliott/ Dave Price 2nd overall (Ford Mk2 Escort), Julian Reynolds/ Patrick Walsh 3rd overall and 1st in FIA appendix K category.

RSD would like to thank all the crews for this amazing result and would like to thank BILSEIN for their support during the development of the Fiat 131. This event is only the third rally the newly prepared Fiat car has competed in and is already showing it is on the pace of the dominate Ford Escorts.
