One of the most spectacular liveries from Group A rallying arrives in slot form from Avant Slot: the Ford Sierra Cosworth 4x4 of Robert Droogmans at the 1992 Condroz Rally, featuring its unmistakable combination of bright yellow and deep blue, detailed finishes, and a chassis ready to run from the very first moment.
Few liveries from the Group A era are as recognisable as the yellow and blue of Robert Droogmans' Sierra Cosworth

Robert Droogmans and the 1992 Rally Condroz
Robert Droogmans is one of the most beloved and influential figures in Belgian motorsport. A native of Liège, he built a solid career in national and international rallying throughout the eighties and nineties, becoming a reference in the Belgian Rally Championship. With Rony Joosten as his regular co-driver, he formed one of the most competitive teams in the country.
The Ford Sierra Cosworth 4x4 was his tool during a time when all-wheel drive made a difference on the demanding asphalt stages of the Belgian rally. The Rally Condroz, held in the surroundings of Huy and Ciney, in the provinces of Namur and Liège, is one of the oldest and most popular events on the Belgian calendar, featuring fast asphalt stages that tested both mechanical reliability and driver precision. In the 1992 edition, Droogmans drove this Sierra with its unmistakable yellow and blue livery — dubbed by many fans simply as "the sun" — making the car one of the most photographed and remembered of the season. Beyond the sporting results, that decoration was etched in the memory of a whole generation of rally fans, and today it remains one of the most sought after by collectors worldwide.
