Takes me back to my youth, standing in the forests at midnight following the real RAC rally, listening to the bark of these engines gradually getting louder and louder, sheer magic!
I had driven a Escort BDA..for a long time on Rallyes here in germany and france. Best car ever we had!.. And the Sound....oh my god....ford forever...:-)
33 years since production finished but they get better and better. I dont think Subarus will still be used in anger after 33 years. Best rally car in the world (along with the Mini)
have had the privalage of watching all the Greats Mccrea Vatinan Brookes Clarke ect ect and this man is really something special. car control second to none and flat to the matt thats what you call thrashing a Mk2
AMAZING CARS AND THE ENGINE SOUND IS PERFECT!!! SO POWERFULL!! AND ITS A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE!!! THEY ARE HIGH REVING EINGINES!!! ONE OF THE BEST RALLY CARS!!
You Know your in for a treat when you smell burnt petrol fumes and not that catalic converter fumes I love the old Ford cars be it cortinas escorts fiesta they rock Slaint'e mhath'e for this nice put together feast
Congratulation Rallycameraman, this video is really amazing! Can I use one/two clips for "Rally: a crazy sport"? :) Naturally I will give you credits...
Whatever the engines are! those cars are just AMAZING!!!!im thinking about have one but not so powerfull and so prepared like those on the video!! just with a 2000cc pinto engine , a anti roolbar and a limited slip differential!
I always wondered what makes different engines have distinctive sounds. I can't even figure out why a flat-4 sounds different from an I-4 (they both have two power strokes per rev, should sound the same!), but what could possibly make a BDA or BDC sound different from other four bangers? The shape of the ports? The shape of the combustion chamber? It's not he manifold or exhaust, because they sound the same even when aftermarket parts are included.
To every one here, I have 2 mk11 that I rally. U just can't hop into one of these and drive down to the shop. There is a warm up and cooling down procedure for the engine box and diff, u also have to heat the brakes on the way out to the stages, tyres are the same. So many different types for climate on the day. It's like driving on ice till u get heat into the tyres
yes but there are categories!i think that the most powered escort's like colin mcrae have 2.2 cosworth block ingine 300hp aspirated,fuel injected throtle bodys,forged pistons,2 wild cams and dry oil sump! sorry for my english!;-)
3:00 great demonstration of a Scandinavian flick! Anyway, as much as I love seeing these things race, I hate to think about them being destroyed one by one in crashes. Then again, if they WEREN'T being raced, people would probably end up scrapping most of them, BC they no good as road cars any more, and no one will want to bother with storing them all forever. Damn shame.
Takes me back to my youth, standing in the forests at midnight following the real RAC rally, listening to the bark of these engines gradually getting louder and louder, sheer magic!
Now that is what I call "rock n roll" music to my ears...old fords never die!
Only the new ones 🤣
The cornering of the orange escort at 3.12 is amazing
Scandinavian flick style, none of this lame on rails by 4wd rubbish
Absolutely first class no a slow car amongst them, mk1 & mk2's will never die
god. the sound of those engines! It would make me smile every day I drove it!
Mk1,mk2 the legend of the rallysport!! Incredible feeling! Orgasmic!!!😎😎😂😂👍💖💖

The biggest engines are 2.5 Millington Diamond engines which have about 350bhp. The Escort at 01:52 has a 2.5 in it.
Great video! Congrats and thanks!!

33 years since production finished but they get better and better. I dont think Subarus will still be used in anger after 33 years. Best rally car in the world (along with the Mini)

You've gotta have a license for crazy to drive one of those Escorts. Crazy little cars. Great video!

What is the steering system of these cars??give me answer please!
Nothing compares to a BDA Escort, except another one
PROPER!!!!!!!!!

Where can I go to see these Escorts rallying?
Truly legend car... My dad used to own one (the MkII) and he even convert it to a rally car. But that was old story because his member flipped it
me being a complete VW nutter...i LOVE this!!!!
3:00 that's some driving skillz.
2min 58s ornge mk2 ooooooooooooo yeeeee cool vid
Funny funny cars !!
5:53 still Running Just fine !
RWD Escorts for the Win!
PUTA QUE PARIU! Que vídeo! Que som! Que carro! Que mito! 🏁🏆💀👊
Has to be said again, the driver at 2:56 is bloody talented.
MACHINE! whitout electronics.
they sounded like twin cam
arent these FWD? or are they converted?
@1:59 and onward, I count 6 speeds. What kind of gearbox did that thing have?
Good ear, and it's most likely a carbon fibre kit - $25K+ gearbox replacement and shaft.
Nutshell2K Thank you sir for that valuable info.
Or just a six speed sequential pattern box
Like a motorbike gearbox
Never understood how a fucking gearbox can cost $25,000....
yes but there are categories!i think that the most powered escort's like colin mcrae have 2.2 cosworth block ingine 300hp aspirated,fuel injected throtle bodys,forged pistons,2 wild cams and dry oil sump! sorry for my english!;-)
FLK 1T - that about covers it!2:56
To listen to the driver go through the gears at 2:00 is just pure heaven
3:03 Daaamm mann
Ford?
Il massimo!
And their engines are 2000cc engines with doble camshaft and 4 webber carburators and the pistons are forged pistons! am i right?
Ford should start remanufacturing RS body shells; even with a 5 link rear axle setup😀 please.
pissed as in angry or pissed as in drunk?
4:03 No helmets?
Azok a "ronda" Weberek! :D
Ahhh! Nothing beats car porn!
bring bk the mk2
3:00 great demonstration of a Scandinavian flick! Anyway, as much as I love seeing these things race, I hate to think about them being destroyed one by one in crashes.

Damn shame.
are you mad that was what they were made for world rallye champions since birth.
Might want to oan a fix or rapair daily there ggreat
why theres no MkIII in the video!?
Why would there?
i think it should... its a very cool car.
+Yuri Kowalek they weren't as successful as the Mk1 or 2
6:15 is that the 2'5 litre??? put it in a boat lol
4 min in navigator doesn't look like they are wearing a helmet ?
