Midlands Stages Rally 2023 *Crash & Action*

[@arminwestenhofer2735]

The Escort RS MK2 models impress in all classes... no matter if 1600...1800...or 2000 cc class due to perfect handling and power-to-weight ratio... there has never been a more compact rally car... a living icon of rallying... And only the best of the best appreciated it... may the RS remain with all of us for a long time to come... what a car...!

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

Most popular car here in Ireland, and will be a for a long time to come👌

Cheers Neil👍

[@neilgent1595]

Some amazing driving by all, thanks for postings these video's. Car no 43 (Escort), nifty 360 spin was superb. Some days I stall just getting out of the drive so these video's really do put it all into perspective for me.

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

No problem Neil👍 Some serious skill to not stall the car👌

Escorts showing their flair...Luv it 😁

them ford they are old but there look still monsters...

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

The shell is old but everything else in escorts nowadays is brand new technology👌

[@paulfitzgerald7513]

Seeing the mk2 escorts tearing around reminds me of the Thursday nights round the Swan pub island in Yardley, Birmingham.

[@NathanMcCabe88]

Not the biggest fan of the newer rally cars but the Polo GTI R5 (I think it's called) has a great sound love the whistles... Saw one recently at Race Retro and he was hammering it!!! 😁😁

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

Yes Nathan, they are a polo gti. As you say, the whistle make it one nicest r5 cars to listen to👌

Great driver and brilliantly setup car👌

[@Ostseeimmobilien1]

tolles Video, nur auf die "Scheiß Werbung" könnte man verzichten.

[@kentbeitel9966]

I wish we got the classic Ford escort in the states.

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

I believe there is a Seamus Burke which originates from Ireland drives a mk2 escort in the American rally championship👌

[@kentbeitel9966]

@@mad4tarmotorsportvideos I would love to find a mk2 to import. Just as a street car.

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

@@kentbeitel9966 lots being imported into Ireland now but their value has sky rocketed!

@@mad4tarmotorsportvideos ohh I bet. They are just so cool! We didn’t get any of the cool homologated cars here..

How do you find out when and were rallies take place please

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

Check out the rally calendar on the Motorsport Ireland website or Rally.ie👍

[@arminwestenhofer2735]

Clearly visible in this video... the rear-wheel drive had two steering wheels, the rear axle and the steering wheel... in addition to the front-wheel drive, the all-wheel drive is also inferior in tight curves... both push into the outer edge of the curve... a courageous throttle in the rear-wheel drive prevents unnecessary adversity... Appendix: note... the good driver... Has the flies on the side window...

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

That’s it😂😂😂

[@hunterhomeservicesracing6453]

Seems like that corner wasn’t marked right on pace notes

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

It was, I know because my brother was navigating in a car😂 Just a lot more deceptive than looks on the video and with it being under trees the road was very greasy

[@tomwright943]

Awesome video👌I'm wondering, is this stage in the forest of Dean?

[@mad4tarmotorsportvideos]

Thanks Tom👍 No this event was based in Co.Longford in Ireland
