Takes me back to my youth, standing in the forests at midnight following the real RAC rally, listening to the bark of these engines gradually getting louder and louder, sheer magic!
have had the privalage of watching all the Greats Mccrea Vatinan Brookes Clarke ect ect and this man is really something special. car control second to none and flat to the matt thats what you call thrashing a Mk2
I had driven a Escort BDA..for a long time on Rallyes here in germany and france. Best car ever we had!.. And the Sound....oh my god....ford forever...:-)
33 years since production finished but they get better and better. I dont think Subarus will still be used in anger after 33 years. Best rally car in the world (along with the Mini)
AMAZING CARS AND THE ENGINE SOUND IS PERFECT!!! SO POWERFULL!! AND ITS A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE!!! THEY ARE HIGH REVING EINGINES!!! ONE OF THE BEST RALLY CARS!!
I always wondered what makes different engines have distinctive sounds. I can't even figure out why a flat-4 sounds different from an I-4 (they both have two power strokes per rev, should sound the same!), but what could possibly make a BDA or BDC sound different from other four bangers? The shape of the ports? The shape of the combustion chamber? It's not he manifold or exhaust, because they sound the same even when aftermarket parts are included.
You Know your in for a treat when you smell burnt petrol fumes and not that catalic converter fumes I love the old Ford cars be it cortinas escorts fiesta they rock Slaint'e mhath'e for this nice put together feast
Whatever the engines are! those cars are just AMAZING!!!!im thinking about have one but not so powerfull and so prepared like those on the video!! just with a 2000cc pinto engine , a anti roolbar and a limited slip differential!
To every one here, I have 2 mk11 that I rally. U just can't hop into one of these and drive down to the shop. There is a warm up and cooling down procedure for the engine box and diff, u also have to heat the brakes on the way out to the stages, tyres are the same. So many different types for climate on the day. It's like driving on ice till u get heat into the tyres
yes but there are categories!i think that the most powered escort's like colin mcrae have 2.2 cosworth block ingine 300hp aspirated,fuel injected throtle bodys,forged pistons,2 wild cams and dry oil sump! sorry for my english!;-)
Congratulation Rallycameraman, this video is really amazing! Can I use one/two clips for "Rally: a crazy sport"? :) Naturally I will give you credits...
its not like the normal escort!they have power steering,top mounts with ball bearings and caster adjust,adjustable forks for camber!this is just an example!if you look on the net you will find mutch more and and many systems that they use!;)
3:00 great demonstration of a Scandinavian flick! Anyway, as much as I love seeing these things race, I hate to think about them being destroyed one by one in crashes. Then again, if they WEREN'T being raced, people would probably end up scrapping most of them, BC they no good as road cars any more, and no one will want to bother with storing them all forever. Damn shame.
There's not many running MD engines, as there's not many people that can afford to fork out 30k for one! A lot just run Pinto's, set of 45/50's hanging off the side and you'll be laughing with 200+bhp!
Escort will stay THE rallysymbol for ever.That's true. BUT there are two kinds. The REAL "older" Escorts with Pinto .....BDA-engines and "the new historic?" modern 16v. COCTAIL Escorts. No problem, both can exist. But they have to become separated: One category for the real ones and an extra category for peole who can pay "the F2-engines".

Now that is what I call "rock n roll" music to my ears...old fords never die!
Only the new ones 🤣
Absolutely first class no a slow car amongst them, mk1 & mk2's will never die
god. the sound of those engines! It would make me smile every day I drove it!
The cornering of the orange escort at 3.12 is amazing
Scandinavian flick style, none of this lame on rails by 4wd rubbish
You're absolutely right: amazing.
BRAVO AUX PILOTES .Elles nous donnent plein de sensation fortes ces magiques Ford Escorts
Mk1,mk2 the legend of the rallysport!! Incredible feeling! Orgasmic!!!😎😎😂😂👍💖💖
The biggest engines are 2.5 Millington Diamond engines which have about 350bhp. The Escort at 01:52 has a 2.5 in it.

Epic as always. Love your uploads so much man. Cheers for sharing.

I should never have sold my RS2000. Best car I ever had and I sometimes dream about it over 30 years later.
Words can’t be spoken man!👌👍👌👍😎👍😎

driving ford escorts is so much of fun
Very nice! music to my ears. I'd love to start a project with one of these.
You got to love those mk1's...
Thanks for putting this video together.

poetry in motion
escorts !!!! sound !!!! fantastic....
You've gotta have a license for crazy to drive one of those Escorts. Crazy little cars. Great video!
So much induction noise. Love it.

They sound heaps better than a Sierra!
grandma got to the shop on time...
To every one here, I have 2 mk11 that I rally. U just can't hop into one of these and drive down to the shop.

It's all about the thrills
Excellent vid !!! Thanks!!!
the engine always sounds willing :)
I did just have an EARGASM . My god they sound good .
Truly legend car... My dad used to own one (the MkII) and he even convert it to a rally car. But that was old story because his member flipped it
awsome cars and sound and been driven proper
pure skill
Nothing compares to a BDA Escort, except another one
i like fords escorts....Nice Vídeo ;)
Great video! Congrats and thanks!!
TOTAL DRIVING SKILL
Nice driving from most of the clips...but best of all GREAT cars. Trying to get my hands on a restoration project fit for the rallies!
nice!thats a lot of power for such a little weight!
yes but there are categories!i think that the most powered escort's like colin mcrae have 2.2 cosworth block ingine 300hp aspirated,fuel injected throtle bodys,forged pistons,2 wild cams and dry oil sump! sorry for my english!;-)
and not a fuck was given going into every corner. my heros
And their engines are 2000cc engines with doble camshaft and 4 webber carburators and the pistons are forged pistons! am i right?
Congratulation Rallycameraman, this video is really amazing! Can I use one/two clips for "Rally: a crazy sport"? :) Naturally I will give you credits...
awesome!
buen sonido , buen video
So Cool nice vid, are some of these clips from the Wyedean Rally ? look familliar
Has to be said again, the driver at 2:56 is bloody talented.
Ford should start remanufacturing RS body shells; even with a 5 link rear axle setup😀 please.
To listen to the driver go through the gears at 2:00 is just pure heaven
True rally car!!
Thank you for the information!!:D
they sounded like twin cam
do you get much incar footage?
MACHINE! whitout electronics.
Skillz!
Gr8 vid thumbs up
RWD Escorts for the Win!
its not like the normal escort!they have power steering,top mounts with ball bearings and caster adjust,adjustable forks for camber!this is just an example!if you look on the net you will find mutch more and and many systems that they use!;)
You can't beat a good 2.0 BDA engine
you also cant beat Rwd. i had the RS 1600 and 2000 , the mexica was the best
Actually, AWD does beat RWD. Quite badly. You can _prefer_ RWD, but AWD will always beat it, all other things being equal.
@@justforever96 Not in terms of losses.....
3:00 great demonstration of a Scandinavian flick! Anyway, as much as I love seeing these things race, I hate to think about them being destroyed one by one in crashes.

NICE
me being a complete VW nutter...i LOVE this!!!!
3:05 what a turn!!!
arent these FWD? or are they converted?
Where can I go to see these Escorts rallying?
What is the steering system of these cars??give me answer please!
Ford?
Il massimo!
@1:59 and onward, I count 6 speeds. What kind of gearbox did that thing have?
Good ear, and it's most likely a carbon fibre kit - $25K+ gearbox replacement and shaft.
Nutshell2K Thank you sir for that valuable info.
Or just a six speed sequential pattern box
Like a motorbike gearbox
Never understood how a fucking gearbox can cost $25,000....
I would take a Escort over any sports car anyday
3:00 that's some driving skillz.
are you mad that was what they were made for world rallye champions since birth.
FLK 1T - that about covers it!2:56
pissed as in angry or pissed as in drunk?
PROPER!!!!!!!!!
5:53 still Running Just fine !
4:03 No helmets?
Sad to see that these rare and fantastic cars are being driven to death in this kind of way.
2min 58s ornge mk2 ooooooooooooo yeeeee cool vid
There's not many running MD engines, as there's not many people that can afford to fork out 30k for one!
A lot just run Pinto's, set of 45/50's hanging off the side and you'll be laughing with 200+bhp!
4 min in navigator doesn't look like they are wearing a helmet ?
Funny funny cars !!

why theres no MkIII in the video!?
Why would there?
i think it should... its a very cool car.
+Yuri Kowalek they weren't as successful as the Mk1 or 2
I take a Escort over any car anyday
