Anybody any idea who was the 1st driver to rally a mark2 escort and the first to win a rally in a Mark 2 Escort Please

IIRC the first outing of a Mark 2 Escort -in WRC @ least- was in the '75 Thousand Lakes, with Timo Mákinen & Henry Liddon finishing 3rd o/a, while the first victory -in WRC as well- should be that of the same pairing in the '75 Lombard RAC Rally.

Hi Friends,

Does Anybody know who was the 1st driver to drive a homologated (Gr.4) "Porsche Carrera RS" in International Rally and who was the first rally winner with "Porsche Carrera RS".

N.B. B.Waldegaard & G.Larrousse drove the Group 5 "Porsche Carrera RS" in the 1972 Tour de Corse rally.

THANKS !!!
