rally is about going as fast as you can round the corners and straihts to get the fastest stage time, quite often nowerdays it isn't faster t oslide round the corner, because that scrubs the speed off, with modern 4WD systems you can usually get faster times if you keep a highish speed and dont slide

You seam to help my point there somewhat too, how the car has "less sophisticated suspension than the works RS1800 Mk2 Escorts " that would make my point even more true because you are basically saying the suspension setup is not as good as in a purpous built car.
No rally car was purpousy built, if you think about it every rally car was adapted to race on the surfaces it does from the original road car.

This car IMO wouldnt be able to control itself as well as the purpose built car.
If this car did rally you know how much would be spent on it to make it able to race properly and with a chance of winning

And the reason why i said, "If anyone would ever race that car in a rally they ar a total idiot!", i because it would cost too much to repair component and body damage, unless you were sponsored.
you know how muh it would cost to get a Works RS1800 fixed if it was smashed up

Hope that cleared it up
Just about
