Regarding the Malaysian Goode RS500, I think Gianfranco Brancatelli had a season in a Goode car as well. This would have been around '93 or '94. This car was dark blue or green and sponsored by Petronas.

Well done Jesper for a quick and very accurate reply.
Here's a picture of the car in that race (it was used for an Autosport Magazine poster). Note the damage on the near-side - Dennis Leech made a much faster start in his Rover, hence the black paint on the side of the Sierra!
Regarding the car driven by Brancatelli in Malaysia. This was an actual Eggenberger built and run car, but again, sponsored by the national oil company, Petronas.
