Wouldn’t it be good if wrc went back to basics, manual g/box no traction control or silly aero man and machine you know , today’s cars are fast I know but to me it’s just missing the wow factor it’s all a bit like driving on rails now. 👌
Fantastic. The greatest age of rallying and the greatest rally car of all time, imho. I was lucky enough to watch, many times, the late, great Roger Clarke, what a driver, as his first biography was titled “Sideways to Victory”. Great video, loved it, thanks.
I had one of those engines in my Westfield years ago. For some reason the cops kept pulling me up. I found out that the police used to spank around mid Wales in big Rovers,training the drivers, 4 up. They do not like being overtaken. Apparently I'm a very naughty boy.
Classic cars when engines were built with pure engine power and minimum electronics..I remember my dad had a mk2 turbo over 25 years ago and it made me fall in love with care especially old school cars..bring group b back but extra safety lol such an awesome sight seeing cars like these coming round corners sideways!!
GREAT CAR'S THEM MK 2 FORD ESCORT & THE MK 1 FORD ESCORT & THE XR3I VERY RARE MOTOR BUT THERE GREAT CAR ALL FORD'S THE BEST WAY TO GO FORD SIERRA 4X4i Great motor's there are very rare indeed they are hard to come across good clean XR3I escort's I love the all off the escort's mk 1& mk2 & the XR3I VERY RARE GREAT CAR'S
Why do they swing the back out on exit? They all seem to fo it and it looks really slow. Is it faster on low traction to just wheel spin as much as possible than to make sure your thrust is straight?

And the escort would be loved more than ever , no 4x4 and traction control and computer assist just sit down buckle in and show your true skill
Who doesnt love that sound! Absolutely AWESOME!
Mk 2 was the best body shape of all the escorts, in my opinion!
The mk1 had more graceful looks , The mk2 was more brutal.
a brilliant video. nothing like the sound on earth of a well prepared rally car,.

R .S .B .D .A. What God punts around on track day.
Nothing is so easy to slide and catch as a mk2. I still regret that I sold my 1600 sport when I was young and unknown and stupid.....

Putting a dog box in an escort is just wrong...
Holy shit if this doesn't get up excited you were born more than 30 years too late, you will never make up for it.

Mk2 magic

So cool Escort
Mk 2 Escort
