The Mk1 Escorts of Malta are The Fastest in the World!

The drag car of choice on the small island in the Mediterranean is the humble British Mk1 Escort!
The selection in this video is from the MDRA Finals 2022 and just a small selection of what the island has to offer with many still out of action waiting for parts and upgrades. Amongst the quickest in the world over the 1/4 mile you can expect to see Pintos, Crossflows, Rotaries & the Cosworth YB under the bonnets of these small Fords.

How on earth can such a tiny country with a similar tiny population have so many 1/4-mile competitors? Unbelievable. So many great cars, the Maltese blatantly have high octane fuel running through their veins. Incredible. Amazing. P.S. Thanks for the event coverage!

It’s mad isn’t it 😁 The island really is full of petrolheads and there’s a lot of cars missing from this video as I’ll be running a seperate non-Mk1 Escort video soon, they had around 130 Maltese competitors at the finals and even then that’s missing many who are still waiting for parts. Then there’s a whole different community that take part in the regular hillclimb events out there!

How many of those mk1's got there in a container alongside transit di engines in the 90s? 😁

Is that the red “Harris” escort from the uk? Andy’s?

[@mk1kieran]

Yes, driven by Maltese driver Paul Fenech There’s another UK car in here too, the yellow Mk1 is Joe Ashtons which has been out there for a last couple of years and had some chassis changes by Maltese chassis builder Ladmu
