Yesterday : Bruno SABY / Jean-François FAUCHILLE - Tour de Corse 1984
When in 1980 Saby finally got his hands on a private Renault 5 Turbo, he finished fifteenth on the Monte Carlo and fourth in Corsica. In the four years that followed, he drove R5 Turbos for Renault, winning the French championship in 1981. For 1984, he concentrated on selected rounds of the WRC that included the 1000 Lakes Rally in Finland. Saby surprised everyone by finishing eighth overall on this difficult gravel event. Indeed, it was probably this result more than any other that convinced Jean Todt to sign him for Peugeot for 1985.
In the early 1980s, this R5 Turbo was turned into a racing car. The well-known tuning company Bemani was responsible for the tuning and the roll cage of this car. Later it was converted into a rally car and entered on several events in France and Germany before it was repainted in Philips colours in order to be used on Slowly Sideways events.
