The season began well with a second in Monte Carlo and a win in Portugal, but during the Safari Rally, crashed at 180 km/h after hitting a pothole that had formed due to the rain. By mid season Grist and Kankkunen were tied at the top of the points with Carlos Sainz, but after mechanical problems and the a crash in Finland put them 20 minutes behind and they finished the WRC in 3rd position. In 1995, with only two rallies to go, Kankkunen and Grist started the Rally Catalunya in a comfortable lead, seven points ahead of Colin McRae and the 555 Subaru World Rally Team, when they crashed and had to retire.
The season started off well for the drivers, with a second-place finish in Monte Carlo and a win in Portugal. However, during the Safari Rally, an accident occurred after hitting a pothole caused by rain, which set back their chances. By mid-season, Grist and Kankkunen were in a strong position to win the championship, but mechanical issues and a crash in Finland dropped them behind. In 1995, with only two rallies left to compete, they took an early lead at Rally Catalunya, seven points ahead of McRae and the Subaru team, but their chances of winning the championship were ultimately dashed when they crashed out.
