A Group A Mobil 1 Ford Sierra RS500 raced by Peter Brock will return to Adelaide at the 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival on March 8 and 9.
Best known for his successes with Holden, Brock raced the Ford Sierra over the course of 1989 and 1990, scoring pole position at Bathurst in 1989, claiming two round wins in the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1989 and 1990 and victory in the Nissan-Mobil 500 Series across Wellington and Pukekohe in New Zealand alongside Andrew Miedecke in 1990, the last time Brock drove a Ford in competition.
The car also raced at the Group A support races at the Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide, returning to the circuit 35 years later at the 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival.
Miedecke has restored the car and will run it in the Heritage Touring Cars category at the 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival, in the same livery that it raced in when Brock and Miedecke won in New Zealand.A 1990 Benetton B190 Formula 1 car, Nissan R88C Group C sportscar and the Ford Sierra RS500 feature on the 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival event poster.
