Bernardini won the French asphalt rally title in 94 and 95 with this Escort. In 1996, he took part in the legendary Monte-Carlo Rally, which was held outside the world calendar for a change! The favorites were Armin Schwarz (Toyota Celica) and François Delecour (Peugeot 306 Maxi). The German had mechanical problems and made a few mistakes, while "Freine Tard" was unable to finish ahead of a Gr.A. in his two-wheel drive KitCar. Patrick Bernardini won the 1996 Monte-Carl' and added his name to the list of winners of this legendary event.
