Ford Escort MK2 RS1800 (1978 Castrol Rally)

"left hander coming up, fairly fast, no worries..." lmao what a pisser

Just listen to it!

The MK2 Escort RS1800 was a BDA Engine. The only Cosworth input was the Cylinder Head, check your facts......DUH.......

Great footage. Haven't seen this for years. Rallied one of these years ago which scared the s**t out of me.

Thanks for the memories

Yep Ari was in it a lot, Carr & others too.
How good was the bitumen section footage! ;)

I thought that one was with ari vatenan

big fans of escort especially mark1 ~

This car is currently for sale IYKOOO. And u wont get much change outa 100 grand.
My all time fav rally car.

absolutely great car

This car still exists being restored here in Aust about three years ago.

Greg Carr, Fred Gocentas and IYK000. A great team and legends in Australian rallying history.

Great footage, is it from the film 40 Split seconds?
TA!

LOL they were made with cosworth engines u idiot! rs1800 was a cossie and theres the bda and bdg? DUH?!?!?!?!

Great footage! Love the way they power thru the corners, steering with the throttle... they should make rally cars rear wheel drive again, much more exciting!

Sounds excellent, fun brilliant car! Ford should re-make this car with a newer engine maybe a cosworth engine, and keep that sound the MK2 makes, and update the interior. Keep the rest of the car outside exactly the same. This car would sell by the thousands.
