Escorts were (and are) simply FANTASTIC. Bmw's and all kinds of other cars left behind. Not bad for the small uncomplicated, N/A motor!!! Would have loved to see some external camera footage though!!!
Great to see this Gary, I am looking forward to seeing it at Teretonga this weekend. The way the Cossie pulls away on the straight...you can see why Zakspeed went from supersuckymotor to super blowie motor.
a lil frustrating to do all that work to pass then be all tapped out up the hill and get repassed by an RS500 super farting to the flag!!Nice duel though!!
1 of only 3 ever made Ford RS3100 Cosworth Capris. Runs a 3.4 litre GAA motor which is a mechanically injected quad cam V6. 440 hp, 5 speed ZF gearbox and an Atlas diff.
I had to look the track up because I had never heard of Hampton Downs, but it reminded me of a shortened Kayalami. I was surprised to see that you're down in NZ. Great race!
That is a music instrument! Nice car, nice driving! Well done!
Awesome, a little lightweight high revving BD Escort against far more powerful Turbo Cossie Sierras.

If it's the car I believe it to be.. then it's a RS Turbo group5 car..
But it does sound like it's doesn't have the turbo engine in it

I Owned a mk2 Zakspeed in the early 80s I never forget it's sound goosebumps again 😢
awesome driving ,you gave that 500 a run for its money .
All about the zakspeeds cornering. They may have it on the straight, but your on them through the corners. Power is not everything!!!
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe.
What a soundtrack, still nothing quite like an escort
Reminded me of the Steve McQueen Bullit sound track, Superb.
Watched it before I realised it was you Roger ... now it makes sense .... was a pleasure and a privilege to ride with you.
superb, sounds like Lucas mechanical inj?
no it's fully carb never get sound like that from injection
ford power.......gotta love the classics...
Classic battle of power vs. Light weight and brakes. Love 1600s !!!

awesome is the only thing i can think of. made me smile and remember the time i saw these cars. brilliant!!
doesn't sound right to me..
Why is that
Great vid. Would have liked to have seen one in the white Commy that flys past also :)
Cette Ford Escort a sous le capot, un moteur de Ford Capri. Au son, c'est un V-6. Le pilote est bon, mais ça pourait être mieux.
Capri Escort Sierra POWER YES !!!!!!!!
What engine was in that holden, it murdered the Sierra. I'm guessing V8.
Car needs about 10 15 more horsepower
Loved every second of that. Superb...! Thanks for sharing...!
Wow , this was also a hot fight . I had a little heart-beating :-))
elle prend combien de tour minutes plus de 8000trm nn ?

valves...... :) but great video! :)
Roger you don't need to heal n toe when the car is braking in a straight line only under lateral load to stop the rear wheels dragging.
Depends on the car, the set up, the relative importance of engine braking (or not), etc etc.
That is astounding .
E X C E L L E N T....
I can hear the itbs
Throttle spond!!!!
Is't a 1,8 bdg zakspeed and how many hp does that deliver?
It's the Group5 or DRM Mk II RS Turbo
Edit*-
But it does sound like it's not a turbo engine
Mmmm ford BDA power!
Beautiful zakspeed escorts
The one on pole is the Capri RS 3100
Very nice.
This thing is all noise. Going backwards on straight line speed.
Great skills, lot faster on the corners, not enough torque on the straits, needs better tune i think.
