What would you rather see a mk1/mk2 escort modified for? Rallying or proper racing on a proper track where you actually have to overtake someone!?

 

As you might have guessed, i chose circuit!!

I picked circuit but I do like a good road rally though 8)

rallyin all day long, any 1 can drive on a nice wide smooth race track, takes somthing else (most rally drivers are missin somthing up there) to drive at high speed down a narrow forest road and gp4 mk2 sounds so much nicer than zakspeed mk2

i love both but there was no option for that

so i desided on rallying cos roger clark was the best driver in a escort

but i do love a escort low and wide aswell

can't not be rallying can it!? The escort is quite possibly more famous and more well known for it's rallying career than it is on the black stuff.

 

"decent rally cars will always make good bases for tarmac cars, but never vice-versa"

 

just look at McRae's mk2 at castle combe, totally mullered everything, including the dedicated circuit racers :twisted:

 

(oh and i'm buzzin' about rallying now, just got in from the Tempest :D:D )

rallying,but it has to be tarmac only,forest or gravel stuff is such a waste of time,irish tarmac rallying is by far the best :D circuit is ok as long as there is a good mix of cars.
