Celebrate 40 years of Ford RS at this year's Ford Fair

FOR 40 years, the RS (Rallye Sport) badge has identified Ford's highest-performing road cars.

Ford introduced its first-ever RS-badged car, the Escort RS1600, in 1970 and over the years the Rallye Sport name has been applied to 22 spectacular road car models, which often proved their point by winning in races, rallies, in rallycross - and in the marketplace.

For the first time ever, all 22 RS models will be on display at this year’s Causeway Coast Ford Fair on Sunday, June 6 – definitely a site worth seeing for the Ford enthusiast!

The Ford Fair, now in its 6th year, takes place at the Dunluce Centre in Portrush and is a great day out for all the family.

Every year, the organisers plan to make the event bigger and better than the year before and this year will be no exception with lots of things planned for all members of the family.

The 'RS' badge has never been applied lightly; each and every model and derivative has offered outstanding performance, road holding, vehicle safety and value for money.

RS-badged Fords have always shared a proud sporting tradition and have been built in many different forms. Many have employed wind tunnel testing to evolve innovative aerodynamic features such as the rear aerofoils fitted to Sierra and Escort RS Cosworths. All have pushed the boundaries of technology and all have been successful in motorsport.
