    Mk2 Escort Wide Arch Race Car

    Well, it's been years now since I last visited Turbosport but thought I'd show you some images of my car since being finished. Some of you may have seen the thread that I started on here showing the work that first did on the car. Most of it I've since re-done (oh the silly things you do when you're younger).

    Anyway, I'm really enjoying driving the car now. It's very lively weighing in at just 870kg, but a lot of fun and incredibly pointy to drive. Hope you like it, it's taken a lot of blood, sweat, tears & money. Comments welcome chaps.

    Will

    Love the colour and the rear wheel sat in the arch!

    What changes have you made then since you started the build ?

    Re: Mk2 Escort Wide Arch Race Car

    Thanks for the comments. It's about as low as I would want to go Turbospud (approx 3.5" from the floor - the car is flat bottomed with carbon)

    Paul, a lot is different since the original thread. Whole new cage, fuel cell, obviously aerodynamics, exhaust system, some engine work and a large degree of the suspension components.

    All for the better I think.
