Don't care how much faster today's rally cars are. For me, it'll always be about RWD machines, screaming while going sideways! The old Escort of course, being the most enjoyable to watch.
I fully agree! This is so much more fun, and the sound.... I love it!
Absolutely correct mate !
I had a Mk2 in the 80's with a Burton race engine, OMG i loved that car ❤
Maybe it's the old boy racer in me but I still think the mk2 escort is the greatest car ever built
Nothing like a screaming MK doing power slides.
Some tremendous footage, no crappy music over the real music, a MK2 getting its neck wrung
Thanks John, hard to beat a mk2 on full song👌
I am 13 years old and I am obsessed with ford escorts
im 63 like them too cause a good part of guys stay 12 years old
Good lad!
I was about 13 too when i saw a double page spread photo of a Ford advertisement in my dads paper . It was of a MK 1 RS 2000 white with blue decals a real beauty . I’m 62 now and after owning MK1 Mexico , MK1 RS 2000 , MK2 Mexico , MK 2 RS 2000 I’m still a fan 👍😊.
Very dangerous being a fans, a audience standing beside the road, but very exciting and fascinating, i love this sport than formula, le mans,... 💕👍
sheer porn seeing that many MK2's in the one place,with amazing drivers,epic stuff,takes me right back to the when the Scottish rally had stages in my local forest (late 70's)
You don't make crashes with a Mk 2. You just give some kisses at the nature.
Outstanding. Some great angles, great sound quality and no fkin music! Bloody good work 👍
Thanks a lot, was great to put a video like this together👍
lol no music killed me 🤣.
Baron von Teuchter music why would you 😳
Grew up in the era of rs 2000's gti dolomite sprint fiat strata a abarth 130 bmw 323i lucky to ride in some of them wow, just about the drive.
Co driver: flat left
Mkll : sideways thinking its Ken block
funny looking at old posts ! see your family name come up!
You simply can't beat the sound of those engines. Absolute harmony.
Old Bda or even new 2.5 millington hard beat👌
Hail the Escort, it's such a simple plain looking box on wheels but F*!k me it is so gorgeous to see, watch and hear. Finally the real meaning of 'Launch mode'
Great compilation mrk 2 magic:this is why I prefer rally sport over drifting Motorsport!
Thanks👌
Very Good Work . It;s Fantastic .Keep working is this direction , Greetings , Fran McGrach
I was lucky enough to own a mk11 escort in early 80s as a young lad in my teenage years and followed Lombard rac , fantastic times and great memories
Brilliant times I'd say, RAC was a real challanage at that time👌
Absolute Fu%%ing GOLD
Ahhh the car that got me into cars. What legends these machines are, far more entertaining than the modern cars. Thank you for this it's just what I needed!
No problem👌
@@mad4tarmotorsportvideos just had to watch again! Is this in Ireland and does the rally still go on I REALLY need to this going on. Cornwall used to have a rally every year but sadly it doesn't happen anymore.
@@kellyward5820 yes it is in Ireland but all events have been stopped since covid hit. Hopefully we get back to normality soon🤞
@@mad4tarmotorsportvideos had a bad feeling that you'd say that! Hopefully it will disappear soon, then I can pull me finger out and get my ass on a ferry!
@@kellyward5820 my first car was a brown mk2 1.3 on a v plate my dad gave it away as I left it on the drive after I got into turbo cars thing was it had the full wide arch kit roll cage bucket seats to make a road rally car he gave them away with the car my dad's mate from Ireland come n collected
it with a trailer can't remember the name but sure it was o'riley . I never saw or heard about it again 😭 . Life lessons don't fill up your dad's driveway 😂
Well, I enjoyed watching it. Thumbs up from me!
Yes lad giving them millingtons some pain you just never get tired of hearing that sound.brilliant vid lad keep em coming👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🙏🏻😍😄
Thank Ian👍
Currently building a 1:24 scale model of Roger Clarke's 1976 red Escort mk 2, as I can't afford the real thing!
Brilliant as usual 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 scandi flick proper job ,just love that sound,can smell the fumes if you close your eyes 🤓🏴🇬🇧👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Dave. Would make ya dream about smelling them fumes in real life again after this virus over😂
Yep sure will even though we have to travel for it ,only got Hillclimbs down here in Cornwall,so have to go to wales or Forest of Dean nearest to us ,but ya can’t beat it 🏴🇬🇧👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 was spoilt when I lived in Lincolnshire and every place didn’t seem as far + more events in the 80s and 90s ,so love watching your stuff proper Rally Fix 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@BigfootRCrcoverlanddave2646 ya we very lucky in Ireland. We have an event or maybe two events every weekend nearly all year and I live in the center of the country so nearly attend a rally every week. We also have closed roads over here which is great
🤣🤣🤣 fumes 👍😎
As a Datsun driver this is how you drive hard & fast! With no remorse ruthless Style Ford Escorts are most definitely an iconic old school & most worthy nemesis in Rally all sound Aggressive love it big respect from NZ.
Thanks James👍
@@mad4tarmotorsportvideos no worries,keep it coming its got the all the action. Don't stop.
Probably the best Escort Rally compilation ever made!!
Top video. All time favourite car. My old man had one brand new when I was a kid and I had one as my first car. And even now I still own two 🤗
What a way to spend an hour on a rainy long weekend - thanks so much for sharing this! I was always more an HS Chevette fan as a teenager but the Mk2 Escort has also always been up there!
Top class video buddy never get bored of hearing a Escort on full song !
Thanks Glen👍
I'm 10 but I love rallying and I really really want to rally a mk2 ford escort and my dad co driven my uncle that rally's a mini and I want to put a 2.5 milington engine in it and rally modified but you need time and money
Hopefully you'll get millington in her some day👌
Best sounding cars ever built ❤
Had a few escorts since I passed me test in the mid seventies. All great motors including a couple of 1700's with all the go and stop bits. I'm biased but you'll never get a better rally car. Easy to work on and to drive (???lol). Great video this, THANKS!!
Lovely to hear, thank you!👍
Totally agree with you buddy.
I had a Mk2 with a Burton race engine, OMG, it was awesome !
Still saving up for another one !!
What's the thinking in preferring two door to floor door cars? The WRC rally cars seem to be happy with four or five door bodies, to no detriment? Can't be strength as the cage takes care of body stiffness. Don't think there is a four door in this video?
Think it mostly for the look of the cars and maybe the larger door size may help with getting in and out of the cars, not sure to be honest. There is one 4 door escort in the video that is driven by John Gordan but that it I think👍
The 4 door is at 33:05👍
Mad4Tar Motorsport Videos thanks. Restored an Escort rally car that was a four door and was questioning the owners choice! Brilliant video by the way, missing my old mk2 Mexico so bad. Wish had bought up all those cheap escorts we used to buy for two or three hundred quid and drive around like nutters in!
A great rally car this was and with so many championships worldwide to boot.
THE REAL DEAL,TIMELESS ACTION
Awesome rally sound and great retro rally car...
Anyone have any information on the Orange MK2 @ 49:06 - 49:15 where can I find pictures of it. Any leads will be very much appreciated👍👍
James McCarville his name👍
Stunning country, roads, sound track, stunning car, cheers👍
Thanks👍
Unfortunately I can only give this one thumbs up
This is just awsomme. I remember these Mk2 Escorts as a child and was a big fan of them and the rallies they did. brilliant footage dude
Thanks👍

Possibly the most amusing rally car to watch?
Nav:"100mt straight"
Escort:"Can I drift a little anyway?"
Great great work mate!! 👌😉
Thanks👌👍
This brings back memories,of watching the mighty Ford Escort,Fantastic.
Keep in mind, these Escorts are the evo's of the 80's Escorts. So much better handling and more hp than yesteryear. Like the Opel Kadett C nowadays. Google for Dutch rallydriver Edwin Wolves/Kadett C. A beast of a car.......

MK2 ♥️, what a video !!
when my dad drove rally he had mk2 escort too
awesome video really enjoyed it thankyou...
Thanks Derek👍
There is something so magic about Rally Mk2 Escorts. Maybe it's their small size or friendly face with the round headlights. That way they squat down at the rear and always seem to be the underdog fighting for every damn inch idk. And definitely that angry and desperate exhaust note... argh great!
Great vid , well done..
Even with the collection of top class cars in it , its still hard to beat the sound of BDA on full song!
Thanks👍 I agree wih ya so tried to include as many as I could in it👌

My sister had one of these in red sold it to a guy who puts it in shows it was a beast 👍
1 left ' over jump careful dip 2 right through gates over field 3 right into hard 4 right opens into straight over crest into hairpin left opens .
These engines sound amazing. I want a 2.8 for my S4 Audi. But at 20,000 pound for a base engine? I'll stick with the V8. It sounds pretty good as it is and has just as much horsepower.
Great video. I've always loved the Escorts. If I could afford one today, I'd buy it on the spot.
Absolutely brilliant fantastic video gr8 job mate cheers KC Tasmania Australia
Thanks👍
Glorious sound…love a bda 😊
NO music, but outstanding sound from the cars...
many thanks for this video (!!!)
i had one 1600s Mk2 in the 70s :-) really a GREAT car...
No problem at all Stony👍 Would love to own one in the future👌
The best car ford ever built, just sayin 😎
We agree👌
No sierra cosworth lol 😊
Don't be so ridiculous its just an old Escort.It'll be the GT40.Read the history
vw golf has that title........
@@69bock69 so are you the kind of guy that wont let go being a 6th year?
Brilliant job... Can you do one with twin cams maybe even a 10min one would be great..
Good idea👍 Might do one at some stage👌
Mike we listened to your great idea and we will be premiering a video on this channel, 25 minutes long of just RWD toyota's (Twin Cams and Starlets) tomorrow evening. Hope you enjoy, thanks👍
We'll never hear the end of the 86 or Escort until the last one of us dies. And I wish it could live on longer
Simon McKinley mk2 escort check him out for those who dont know he was some pilot along with frank kelly
I will second that, RIP SIMON ❤
I think McKinley is up there with vatenen and the one of the best to ever sit in one
@@SlyShot555 he was some pilot. Only seen videos but he could drive that Mk2👌
Nearly gave a thumbs down lol no wanna see mk2's crashing Haha
We'd understand for that reason😂😂
No Mk2's should be harmed in any video lol
lol dudes driving the fuck out of escorts still! Best RWD rally car
44 Audi fans hated this video pmsl
Great video, must’ve taken ages to put together 👍🏻
I love a mk2 in the forests, but I don’t think there is any finer sight or sound than a full chat works tarmac MK2.
Thanks Stuart, dont mind the time put into videos once people get enjoyment out a them👍Defiantly look mean in the tarmac setup and become so fast on tarmac over the past few years but also no nicer noise than a BDA or millington coming roaring towards you through the trees of a forestry👌
Escort MK2 só acaba quando acabar o Mundo!!! 😜😂Parabéns pra eles, prós kits dunhas, e pra este trabalho de vídeo!!! 👍💪👌👏👏👏
Falta o RS 1800 da diabolique Motorsport o Joaquim Santos dava aulas a estes todos
Aver que no se me entienda mal él dueño del vídeo i personal mente no hay mejor música para mí qué un motor pero en este caso podrías poner de fondo mui suavei qué se desiga ollendo los motores
Allways sideways.
Great video, well done 👍
Thanks👍
Fantastic footage and driving skill. The Escort is still the best looking out of all the Fords
The best Alltime Rally Car in the best Action.. Great Car Great Job for the Tube Team.. Best Regards from Germany..
Thanks Harald👍

awesome car MK 2 ESCORT
Cars . rallying .racing..fords before I become a bike nut...but I could shed a tear listening to a escort on song... simple compared to much faster modern stuff .. personal opinion of course...brill vid cheers from dave
Thanks Dave👍
Rear tires nightmare. After quattro the best engine sound
Group B cars hard bet👌
Thanks for putting this together !
No bother Dan👌
Mark 2 escort best ever in any rally always was always will be
For sure Peter💪👌
Cars sold with the wiper on the front doors . My wife 's just saying me can you close the door I'm watching TV . Yesss .
Need one of these for the e30 BMW
Sounds awesome...full send.
Good to hear these old girls getting it tite great stuff
excellent video, MK2 is the ultimate classic rally car
Super👍😊
Thanks👍
Fantastic Video, MK2 best ever !
Thanks👍
Fantastic video 20plus years ago the said the mk2 was finished rallying .Never was stronger never will die
Awesome footage as always 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏁
Thanks Ralph👍👌
Lol like wtf?...these cars are older than my father lol why don't they just buy a decent modern car?
3/10 troll attempt, must try harder.
lol pffftttt 2/10 at best
The reason they don't buy news cars is simple, there are few cars ever made which had the soul of the mkII. most of the others couldn't be afforded buy average Joe, these were world rally champions which anyone could buy.
Had mine sidewards many times, if you have never driven one you'll never understand it's like your first kiss, you'll always remember the first time you drove a mkII.
What is bda vs ddg, they both sound good !
Well worth setting the reminder for this 👍
Thanks👍
