Best of Mk2 Escort (Sideways, Crash & Flat Out)

[@kukko83]

Don't care how much faster today's rally cars are. For me, it'll always be about RWD machines, screaming while going sideways! The old Escort of course, being the most enjoyable to watch.

[@matsfredsson9445]

I fully agree! This is so much more fun, and the sound.... I love it!

[@bluestorm3895]

Absolutely correct mate ! I had a Mk2 in the 80's with a Burton race engine, OMG i loved that car ❤

[@craigpimlott204]

Yep loved the mk1’s and 2’s .Sunbeams ,Manta’s ,Kadett’s etc rallying back in the day .then Group B .I think we were spoiled before the WRC came along ..to me it was nothing we hadn’t seen before ..4wd and the fire breathers ..

[@larkop6504]

Amen brother.

[@98Blackbess]

You simply can't beat the sound of those engines. Absolute harmony.

Old Bda or even new 2.5 millington hard beat👌

[@johncampbell121]

Some tremendous footage, no crappy music over the real music, a MK2 getting its neck wrung

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

Thanks John, hard to beat a mk2 on full song👌

[@philippedubois754]

You don't make crashes with a Mk 2. You just give some kisses at the nature.

[@Tc-hb8vp]

Maybe it's the old boy racer in me but I still think the mk2 escort is the greatest car ever built

[@craigpimlott204]

Or the Mk1 .same car different shell .everything swapped from one to the other that’s where Ford got it right with the Mk2 . 3litre and 2.8 capri front struts fitted 👍👍

Had a few escorts since I passed me test in the mid seventies. All great motors including a couple of 1700's with all the go and stop bits. I'm biased but you'll never get a better rally car. Easy to work on and to drive (???lol). Great video this, THANKS!!

I was about 13 too when i saw a double page spread photo of a Ford advertisement in my dads paper . It was of a MK 1 RS 2000 white with blue decals a real beauty . I’m 62 now and after owning MK1 Mexico , MK1 RS 2000 , MK2 Mexico , MK 2 RS 2000 I’m still a fan 👍😊.

As a Datsun driver this is how you drive hard & fast! With no remorse ruthless Style Ford Escorts are most definitely an iconic old school & most worthy nemesis in Rally all sound Aggressive love it big respect from NZ.

[@ArizonaBaySwimming]

There is something so magic about Rally Mk2 Escorts. Maybe it's their small size or friendly face with the round headlights. That way they squat down at the rear and always seem to be the underdog fighting for every damn inch idk. And definitely that angry and desperate exhaust note... argh great!

Keep in mind, these Escorts are the evo's of the 80's Escorts. So much better handling and more hp than yesteryear. Like the Opel Kadett C nowadays. Google for Dutch rallydriver Edwin Wolves/Kadett C. A beast of a car.......

[@andrewwilson8317]

What's the thinking in preferring two door to floor door cars? The WRC rally cars seem to be happy with four or five door bodies, to no detriment? Can't be strength as the cage takes care of body stiffness. Don't think there is a four door in this video?

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

Think it mostly for the look of the cars and maybe the larger door size may help with getting in and out of the cars, not sure to be honest. There is one 4 door escort in the video that is driven by John Gordan but that it I think👍

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

The 4 door is at 33:05👍

[@andrewwilson8317]

Mad4Tar Motorsport Videos thanks. Restored an Escort rally car that was a four door and was questioning the owners choice! Brilliant video by the way, missing my old mk2 Mexico so bad.
