Peter S should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Well Matti Alamaki wrapped his Peugeot 205 around a tree in finland effectively destroying it in some sort of a hill climb which is why he didnt race in the last round of the 1990 season. The car was presumbely scrapped.

Terje Schies version i belive was sold to the museam in France i belive.

Philip Wambergue drove a 205 T16 in france in 1989, as did Guy Frequlin who finished third in the French round of the european series(who is now the boss of the Citroen sport world rally team) in 1990. These cars belonged to Peugeot sport apperently.

As we all know the rallycross engines can be developed to be a lot more powerfuller than the rally versions. The same applied to the RS200's. I guess it comes down to the fact that they only need to run for around 3 minutes at a time therefore they can be pushed to the limit for longer when developing.

It was belived to be the most exspensive car to use and run in the whole championship which is why they werent around for more than the four years that they were.
