Jij niet, ik wel. Er is één zeer groot verschil tussen een groep A Escort en een WRC versie, en dat is de ophanging achteraan.

The suspension of the Ford Escort Group A cars have some similarities with the standard road car, but many differences too. The rear suspension of the WRC cars on the other hand is almost completely different.
The group A cars still used a trailing arm suspension in different layouts. There is the 'standard' group A suspension that used a modified main rear beam, and adjustable trailing arms different to the road car. Along with this they used an adjustable blade-type anti-roll-bar. This setup has many of the weaknesses of the standard roadcar's suspension.
On the Escort WRC cars this is remedied by a total change of suspension-type. Getting rid of the the trailing-arm layout altogether and replacing it with a McPherson-strut/multilink system.
