[@benjaminbenson8714]

Love this clip. What a piece of kit. Sums up a sorted escort as an obnoxious fun car. Brilliant.

[@malcolmlane-ley2044]

Fantastic car and driving but why 2 minutes of unnecessary waiting before the start?

[@groupbhero]

Hi, there was a Red flag on the course from the previous car. I think he hit an earth bank near the finish.

[@gertnood]

Very gentle idle, doesn't sound impatient to get going at all...

[@groupbhero]

Around 180bhp @ 9500. It was last on a dyno in 1992 where it gave 181, it then sat for about 16 years. I bought it last year, rebuilt it over the winter and put it in the car back in July.

[@maracing1889]

Wow, 180bhp on a 1300cc engine, congratulations. Great driving too!

[@groupbhero]

@GordonWG1 Cheers Gordon it does make a nice noise, I'm looking to do Loton Park this year hopefully.

[@banarcus]

Gee I wish I still had my escorts. Sounds great.

[@groupbhero]

@tpvalley Yes it's the same car I just swapped engines half way through the season to try and win both classes.

[@MarkLeP]

thats a fast first corner! its all fast but that is impressive!

[@maconesix]

sounds sweet john, 33 next season mate u can do it

[@GordonWG1]

Great to see one of those little screamers still being used! Seems like hard work even on a short climb - have you been doing them on the 'mainland' as well?

[@goldengoatfilms98]

cool mate good power love the car as well lol

[@garthrallysport]

Proper escort, the door wont close properly lol. Good vid

[@neverbeen2]

sounds the nuts !!!!

[@BAZZASTUONO]

Awesome! Just shows how good Ford can make an engine and Cosworth improve it. Sounds like a bike engine but really an old pushrod affair before Cossy worked their magic.

[@matty205gti]

Oooh arr! Sounds lovely!

[@tpvalley]

@groupbhero is this same car as the other crossflow video?

[@abritandhisbikeinpoland6802]

Thank god for gopro

[@giocastful]

poor editing though - what's the first 2 minutes all about??

[@filippobullittgiardini533]

Worst ever use of hands on.the steering wheel of a race car.

[@groupbhero]

10 inch wide soft slicks, 7 degrees of caster angle on the front suspension and NO power steering = very heavy steering. ;-)

[@triptechable]

rev limit?

[@groupbhero]

+triptechable 10,250 rpm.:-)

[@SimonTolson2147485548]

+John Dunne thanks Mr dunne. I guess peak power is circa 9500rpm?

[@groupbhero]

Simon Tolson Yes correct Simon, 178@9500 dropping to 167@10,250.

[@briddeegan9678]

triptechable

[@maconesix]

I think i will need a near perfect run to do a 30 but i think i might be able to, have to leave the brain in the tool box one more time lol. DEAL

[@groupbhero]

I need to lose about 6 stone for a 33, I'll give it a go thats for sure!! :)) So 30 for you 33 for me. DEAL.

[@philco7044]

Maniac 😂
