Got to agree, that race-prep Escort Cossie was quite quick

But I'll say that Mk2 with the Cossie lump was the best. Truely awesome to watch/hear etc.

Cheers

If you're referring to Donno, the maddest RS there was a National Saloon Championship winning Escort Cosworth running some 450bhp on the day.
I should hope it would give us a run for our money!

Thought 410hp in a 25 year old MK2 2wd Escort, was madder than a 450hp, fully race prepped, 4wd Escort?

And more entertaining to watch

Thumbs up

Quite funny (or should that be frightening) to glance at the rear view mirror while fully committed through old hairpin, to see a green monster closing rapidly, semi sideways......

And then it was gone.


Great fun.

Mike.

420/50 HP Westie was as mad as a bag of squirrels, easily the loon car of the day.

The Escort Cossy was on low boost (24-25) and the MK2 Escort was running about 23psi,though both were very impressive.............But the V8 Westfield was mega impressive.
The flames shooting out the back of the white Liner looked good too......
