I remember a little story I read once about the Eggenberger team testing at Silverstone just before the 87 Tourist Trophy- an F3000 team were testing at the same time, and the RS500 could allegedly stay with the single-seater on the longer straights....
They were great cars to watch- a real handful on the limit- it took me quite a while to get excited about watching Supertouring, let alone the current generation of BTCC/ETCC cars.
The RS500 was also the dominant car in Division 1/Group A European rallycross around that time as well- some of those guys were reckoned to be running a little over 600bhp, which must be pretty entertaining on a loose surface with only 2wd....
