The Corolla liftback/hatchback was in its very early days of development in 1983. It certainly rank in Europe but was not a competitive proposition in the UK until 1986. Its class was largely the domain of the Escort RS1600i and VW Golf 1.6 GTi 8v in Europe with only John Nielsen's car being quick in the ETC for example.
Things might have very different if Chris Hodgetts wasn't racing Ford Escorts until the end of 1985, as CHMS may have come into being sooner and the Escort may not have had a look in.
