Dingo should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
IIRC most of the cars in the 1987 WTCC were iffy...wasn't there a gentleman's agreement between Ford and BMW that "we won't protest you if you don't protest us"? All it would have taken was a third manufacturer, say Alfa or Maserati, to protest both teams, and the WTCC would have fallen over after a couple of rounds...

Not that some would have minded, the way they kill off the best touring car championships when they become too popular (except the V8 Supercars, because we're not in Europe).
