- In this episode we're at the Brands Hatch circuit for the 3rd round of the Modified Ford Series. It didn't go to plan on this occasion though as we encountered some issues with the car leading to retirement after the first race. Watch along to see how the day unfolded!
i got great satisfaction to see josh almost keeping up with birley's escort cossie, a combination that have been racing at brands for years' & must know every inch of that track. expect birley wasn't best pleased to see an old cortina in his mirror & almost keeping up with him. your cortina obviously isn't a budget car,but as the cossie was up for sale at an eye-watering £74000!! it shows how good your car is,if u could keep up with that. anyway best of luck to all for the rest of the season & the car keeps reliable.
Gotta give it to Josh he always drags everything he can out of the car. A few of the circuits are first times as well. He had a great battle with Birley’s cossie a few weeks back at Castle Coombe. We know that track really well and he managed to get 1st in qualifying by over 5 seconds!
Car sounds absolutely awesome 👌💪🛠 shame it played up. Looking forward to Spa. 🥇
Yeah can’t wait!
Great footage, think I’ll have to watch it without headphones, I can still hear those squeals 😂
Sorry about that 😂
Great channel 👍🏻
Cheers 👍🏽👍🏽
Found you through Motor Addicts channel, I knew there must be more behind it 😅. Nice Cortina, great driving 👍
Always plenty going on! 👍🏽👍🏽
Absolutely gutted for you guys! 😢 Was going well before the throttle issues. Looking forward to the next one the 😀 Good luck!!
Yeah had a good start, made up a few positions which would of put us in a good starting spot for race 2. Just wasn’t our day ☹️
Car looks amazing on the track lads 💚👊
Cheers 👍🏽👍🏽
Great to see mk 2 cortina mixing it rs Cossie and wide body escorts .Keep on trucking.And having the crack.
Will do 👍🏽👍🏽
Happy days guys love the content 🤙
Cheers 👍🏽👍🏽
Ah Man! Gutted for you guys! Loved the dash with the sierra 🔥🙌 They Mk2 Escorts were quick! 🤯
Always a good mixed grid with the Modified Ford series 👌🏽
Looking forward to this 👍🏻🏴
Not long now 👌🏽
Great video, thank you. The audio for the onboard footage seems to be out of sync though.
Yeah we noticed that, not sure what’s happened with the GoPro it’s never done that before. I don’t think we’ve had a straight forward weekend with the GoPro yet! It either turns itself off, records a completely black screen, and this week it’s out of sync 😂
@@avin_the_crackyou were so fast the audio couldn't keep up 🤪
And here I am thinking (bloody hell he's getting right mugged off by them escorts) a sticky inlet always presents a man with a challenge 😮
Indeed it does! Engines out now and being diagnosed
Ice cream and new race suit for the win! Gutted for you all, absolutely storming the front runners until the bodies got hung up.....
Yeah was a shame, still the ice cream was nice 😂
Ahh guys so gutted for you , great driving josh , don’t worry you will have it running to perfection in the next race team , those mk2 escorts were fast what engines are they running out of interest? Are you going to do a video on the red mk2 escort rally car rebuild I see it got painted the other day 👍🏻👍🏻
And when are we going to have a merch shop the hoodies are cool as hell ❤ keep up the good work guys
I think they were running Smith and Jones engines. Yeah we’ve got a bit of Escort rebuild content filmed, putting it back together over the next week so will have that video sorted soon. We’ve had quite a few enquiries about the hoodies so we’ve ordered a few in to get printed and then we’ll be setting up some kind of shop 👍🏽👍🏽
@@avin_the_crack that’s great news about the escort mk2 thanks for replying and I will watch out in the future videos for updates on the hoodies 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏
Hoodies are due in beginning of next week so hopefully won’t be too long before we can set it all up 👍🏽
Pity about the throttle.
Best of luck for Spa 👍
Cheers 👍🏽👍🏽
I think the 'Ford with the ironing board' was holding you up on the corners. The sound and vision is slightly out of sync with each other.
Josh is pretty handy in the corners, and the Millington seem to drag the car out of the corners well. Just seems to loose a bit of puff on the longer straights which we need to have a look at. Yeah we had GoPro issues that day 😑
Much better camera angle shame about the sticky throttle good luck for next time
Cheers 👍🏽👍🏽
Kinda like the English equivalent of the Hoonicorn!
(Sort of)
Yeah it’s a similar sort of shape actually. Never thought of that before
Hello there, would you consider selling your escort van???
The white one??
@@avin_the_crack the gray one, didn’t realise you had a white one
@@colinsaquariums Ah the grey Mk2, thought you meant the white Mk4!
@@avin_the_crack if it’s not a mk1 or mk2 there’s no room in the garage 😂🏁👍
@@colinsaquariums 😂 might consider selling, depends on the offer
A shame the the sound is out of sync.....
Yeah not sure what happened with the GoPro. Something else that had a funny 5 minutes on the day 😂
Brands way too wide and fast for modified Ford's imo.. The Tina is really fast through slower corners so shorter Cirquit suits you best imo.. Bet that Sierra in practice was well pissed off to be overtaken by a MKII Cortina 😂😂
There is another round back at Brands Hatch later in the year but it’s the Indy track circuit rather than the full GP so will see how that one goes. There were 40 plus cars on the grid at this one so glad of the extra room 😂
