Growing up in the 70’s I couldn’t wait for Saturdays ‘world of sport’ and watch the RAC Rally and other motorsport events like Rally cross. The Escort was and still is my favourite rally car,be it the MKI or MKII It’s just a joy to see it being put through it’s paces
I used to go and watch the R.A.C Cropton Forrest stage in north Yorkshire in the late 70's. Just a ride up from my home in Kirkby Moorside and just go and watch on a freezing winter night for free. Awesome
Cropton forrest not that far from me. I am middlesbrough.
Lee. I used to love watching the rally driving also on World of sport.
Even if the MK2 lost....its still wins because its a MK2 so there 😆
Thank you man 👍
Was thinking before read comments i would still want mk2
Testify!!
No disrespect to the Mustang but they are pretty much a daily sight on the roads here in central Scotland, any clean Mk2 is a way more special sight regardless of power.
True though
I'd rather the MK2 escort even if it'd lost this race
@Mona Torkia now That’s a bold statement. There are PLENTY of inlines loosing to V’s out there. 😆
people underestimate power to weight ratio... i like older cars because they are smaller and lighter
I bought a brand new D.T 125R in 1991 fully learner restricted and it would do 0-30 quicker than an XR2. purely 'cause it weighed less than the bloke riding it.
True......
They're also A Lot More Fun To Drive!!!!!
@@kevinbartram5302 my main bike isn't quite so light - knocking around the 1/4 ton mark, but it's power to weight ratio is pretty good with 175 gee gees (Gen 1 Busa)
I like newer ones that won't fold up like a paper plane.
Respect to that Escort tho.
The best thing about this video is.....Father and Daughter having fun!....👍❤
Engine and exhaust sound of Escort is enough for win race with many cars.
Neat seeing Lauren behind the wheel of baby blue
The gear shifts alone make it a ton quicker
And that esky is a violent work of art purpose built maniac machine 🤩🤩🤩
Old fords never die, they just get faster.
And more expensive!!
Your Right.
I had 4 mk1's 25 years ago. This video has made me want them back
It's no surprise that the Escort won. 800 kg is a big difference. Great video. Thank you 👍🇬🇧
Frank and Lauren, I am a rally nut and in the past have worked on many of MK2 rally cars on the ards peninsula, but I will never tire of hearing you talking about Baby Blue, keep er lit.....
No surprises for me here but great to see Lauren driving the first round. Mustang would need close on 700hp to equal power/weight ratio
639hp would be required
@@MrParker300 Ill go with that Jim :)
yep 800kg diffrence!
Gearbox also count. Regulmar road H patern vs Rally dog box
Not only beat it in a straight line the mustang would not keep up in a tight winding road. V8 commodore couldn't shake my Escort thru the Adelaide Hills So he bowed his head and pulled over.
Owyergoinmateorite? As a fellow Adelaide Hills hoon, I mean law abiding road user I respect those drivers who are kind enough to pull over and let us get on with it. I've not owned an Escort yet but I've had a lot of cars that can hold their own against almost anything I've come up against. I always enjoyed my wee Datsun 1000 with a hot 1200cc (my first modified engine build) and a CIG locked diff. I could keep tickling the big boys much to their frustration, they had me on the straight bits, but I'd always catch back up through the corners. Driving through Lenswood in my MK1 Golf one day I was going fast but only about 6/10ths when one of those Subaru emergency vehicles caught me (no lights flashing) so I thought right I'm off. After about ten minutes of really pushing it, they were still there, so I was the one to pull over. I was handed my arse well and truly but I enjoyed every second of it.
I'm biased but I believe we have access to some of the best drivers roads just minutes from the city centre.
Stay safe mate, and keep having fun. 👍🙃
And the Baby E sounded so good too....🤩😍
As a die hard mustang fan, I’ve owned two, the Mark 2 escort is one badass car.
The sound of that escort is sublime 👏🏻👍🏻🙂
355BHP and 1 tonne versus 435BHP and 1.8 tonnes... Love that Mk2 Escort - what a beastie!!!
NOT REALLY A FORD FAN BUT I THINK I AM NOW AFTER HEARING THAT MK2 ESCORT, WOW WHAT A SOUND
Ford escort, el eterno campeón, así lo llamaban y lo sigue demostrando a pesar de montar otro motor más potente que cel original, me encantan los coches clásicos reconvertidos, tienen una estética lineal preciosa, saludos Kelly desde las islas Canarias eres todo un campeón
That escort is a beast.
Even if they gave me the mustang i would have trade it for a millington mk2 all the way long :D
What a weapon that escort is 💪💪
Original Mustang weighed 1100kg, it has suffered from too many burgers & donuts !
You must be so proud of Kelly for her skills as a driver. She is such a petrol head. You can see just how focused she is when trying to get off the line. Maybe dad needs to build her a rally car of her own. 👌
Brilliant to see Lauren take you on!
And the Escorts got a Millington Diamond Engine, which is English and made not far from where I live, know the guy well. His hobbies include an Harrier Plane which saw time in the Falklands War.
Power to weight ratio 💪
Absolutely no contest. Bloody awesome !
Great video Frank and Lauren, thank you 😊
met these 2 in carlow a couple of years back. both absolutely down to earth and are the real deal. great to see Lauren driving. she could be the next big female driver.
I don't know much about the escort but just Wow, this little car is FAST
I did not expect any other outcome then what happend here.😎😎🤘🤘
As soon as I saw the power to weight ratio
@@steventhr Yep. The only thing the mustang is better at is top speed.
That was awesome.... not only to look at, but to listen to... power to weight is easy, gear ratios and wind drag goes over my head...
Gotta love a tuned MK2. Sounds great, with a great looking engine bay, far more interesting than the Mustangs. And although the Mustang has considerably more power and torque than the Escort, it's all about power to weight, not to mention a sequential box, compared to a standard manual. I do love Mustangs, but to me they ended around '70-'71. Given a choice between these two cars in the video, then hands down I'd take the MK2. However if the choice was between this Escort, and say a sorted Boss 302, circa 1970, then the decision would be much harder.
Not really surprising, but I know which one I'd have for a daily driver .
Great video 😊
Daily driver, fun day, or even parked in your living room, the Escort is a swiss army knife of cars, the only downside is you'll most of your time answering questions when out.
I love this video!
I’ve got the mustang ,love it to bits however the Escort was always going to nail it.Escort amazing car.
The millington engine alone in that mk 2 is worth more than the mustang🤣
Has Roy got a dyno jet dyno as those figures are a little inflated for a N/A engine.
Very very cool race tho and nice to see old skool vs new.
Much Respect 😎
Depends on the opinion of the one with the money. Its worth zero to some
@@llennon73 eh what now? He's talking about the actual value of each thing
@@retro80s80 The 2.5 Millington in its highest spec is indeed 355bhp
@@TheBlaert Don't bother with that kinda people man.. He doesn't get it and he doesn't know the diffence between facts and opions. I have no use for a violin and i hate the bloody things but a Stradivarius is still worth a million bucks no matter how you look at it.
As we watch, there’s messages being sent, “we got an ol’ escort, do ya fancy a go?” Kelly motorsport presents “baby blue vs this n that” here we come….👍👍
Fingers crossed 🤞
Yes please. Any good mk escort 2shells for sale
The MK2 even sounds better! It reminded me so much of the good ole days of Weber 45s.
Good girl Lauren!
Be nice to see Baby Blue up against a good historic spec BDA MK2?
Absolutely love this
Nice kit, both. But I'm old school and I don't think 2,5 litre is anything to do with 1977 Escort. Cosworth BDA 1800, yes. 2.5 litre is a hot rod, a "special project". I hillclimbed against Colin Bond's Ford Australia works Escort 40 years ago, and I have long been a huge fan of these little fun machines.
Class seeing Lauren driving it. 👍
Cool as and glad the Escort won even tho I love Mustang 😎
Trinidad & Tobago misses this car more than you could possibly imagine!!!!
And we miss you ❤️
One of my favourite cars of all time. Dreams are made escorts.
Would love to see more challenging racing like a Evo Delta intergrale❤️
Yes please. That would make great viewing.
Escort would still win unless the Delta was heavily modified, as stock they put out something like 230bhp, still a very quick road car even today, be interesting to see the Escort against something like a Strato's or Metro 6R4.
Absolutely Phenomenal Car Video All The Best To Everyone In Team's.
The only thing on the Escort that's 1977 is it's shape and possibly it's rear lights
👏 awesome. Would be amazing to see a rematch round a circuit 👍 escort would still whip it but would be a cracking vid 😁
I'll be back! That was good:)
Carwow did a drag race a while back Audi RS3 paddle shift Joby Vs Audi S1 Rally Car Manual Box and from the 80s group b before it was banned. S1 weighed 1000kg. RS3 slightly more. S1 blitzed it. Power per ton. The Mustang is a heavy car, baby blue is mega light with a more focused engine. Simple physics really
Cool test
cool fun stuff, see you, Lauren and Baby Blue in San Marino
Awesome👍💪🇮🇲. And Lauren got the jump on the start both times I reckon…..👍👍👍
🚨WHITE KNIGHT ALERT🚨WHITE KNIGHT ALERT🚨
Never doubted the Escort for a second😉
One of Mr Millingtons works of art under the bonnet 👌🏻😎
Both absolutely great cars 👍🏼😉
Fair enough, the Mustang has cup holders, air con and all that...but it loeked like a snail compared to the Mk2!
Besides...any old Escort could stall on the line, but still win on cool points.
Hell yes. keep the baby blue and you safe mate. awesome.
Jeeeezzzźzzz. That's quick Frank ! Nice !!
Never in any doubt!
That gearbox in the Esky tho. I gotta get me one of those!!! 👍👍❤️❤️👌
Next, compare repair cost for headlight , wing, bonnet - front corner area. Another win. Thanks for the video.
But if he compared maintenance & tyres with the Mustang, Baby Blue is the looser.
Simply fantastic
I almost thought the 2017 car was gonna come next week 😂
Love it 👍, power to wait ratio
Good stuff mate .Nothing like old school .Cheers
this is totally amazing
Sequential box made all the difference there.
Love to see (and hear) a TR7 V8 works spec in the same drag race!
That and the Metro 6R4 aye.
To be honest, that was the exact opposite of what I expected....
Smashin video, old ford's never die, they just burn the ass off those newer contenders.
After you've spent vast amounts of money on them......
brilliant frank and his daughter wow
Owners of the Mk2 in 1977 thought it was this fast... Amen.
That was awesome
This is like watching Usain Bolt racing Peter Kay.
😅😅👌🏽
355bhp, 1000Kg. Imagine how that feels on a track. That's supercar power to weight without a porky 1700kg kerb weight to fight in the corners.
Frank, I think it’s time you got Lauren her own badly blue and get her out on the stages
It reminds me of when I took bets with my little Golf GTI Phase 1 against big cars on a small forest road full of turns. I won all the time with just the 110 hp of my golf!!
Never in doubt!
Escort!!!!!! and Lauren at the wheel!! go girl!
i had no doubt when i saw the millington sticker! that was a whooping
I really want my MkII back! Stolen in Glasgow in 1996 and never seen again..😫😫
That sort of pain never goes, I still hurt when I think of my Pug 205 GTi that got stolen in 1993 😢
Love that mk2 escort
Frank,That Mustang needs to go rallying.I'd love to see it in action!
Only If Frank want to come last
The MK2 is never going to lost my dad races a MK2 engine in our stock car and it has some go with it
Well driven Lauren
Entertaining. The gearbox on the Escort was worth 3 car lengths on it's own, but it probably would have won it with an 'ordinary' gearbox.
Those mustangs are 4.8 to 60 in perfect conditions. Normal tarmac it’s more like 5.2-5.5 . That escort walked it.
This could be the start of a brilliant series to see what could beat the escort
Hardly an Escort is it, other than the bodyshell.
@@weallfollowmanutd …… so what do you call it? It’s an Ford escort the body is the car…. You can get a Ford Mustang and put a Diesel engine it’s still a Ford Mustang just with a diesel…. 🤦♂️
@@M135iboost that's not even a close comparison. A Mustang with a Diesel engine, is a production car if it's sold that way. That Escort is a rally car with a sequential gearbox. Has no bearing to a Ford Escort.
@@weallfollowmanutd no bearing to a Ford escort? That’s odd it seems to have a Ford escort body shell. Which does resemble a Ford escort.
@@weallfollowmanutd The engine is based on a pinto block, the suspension is escort, the back axel is baby atlas, the only thing that isn't escort is the cylinder head and gearbox.
The mk2 gear change sweet .What a Beast .
Love both these cars, but that escort is just angry all day great race
800kg makes a difference. Nice to see the little mk2 kicking arse though.
yes this is stupid drag race. Mustang has little more power but Escort is 800kg less
Escort, so much more connection for the driver.
They sell the mk 1 and 2 in the Philippines which is from GB back in the 70s, then I came to the USA the little Ford cars here are POS 😅😅
1977. I was 7 years old and I SO wanted a Mk2.
dude even before you you turned a wheel the mk2 wins. what an awesome bit of kit that is!
more vids dude pls 🤘🏻
