My MK6 Escort RWD Rally Car

[BDA_IT]

This is a few pics of myself and my old man as the co driver on a few events last year.

Mk 6 Escort converted to RWD using a Quaife 6 speed type9 box to a cosworth 7 1/2 inch rear diff in a wrc type cradle powered by a 1600 all stell BDA on throttle bodies.

Last year came 3rd in class in the AEMC rally championship in our first year in this car, we had plenty of teathing problems but hopefully getting there now.

Had alot of fun at the winter rallycross on saturday where i managed to get on the back row on the A Final and got 6th overall in a heavy underpowered rally car compared to the big power lightweight rallycross cars!

Re: My MK6 Escort RWD Rally Car

To answer the questions yeah my old man is Tudor who now navigates for me but we double drive at autocrosses and sprints, yeah the mk4 was black and pink which i learnt to drive when i was 10 years old!

Yeah was at Milbrook my first rally and got 11th O/A and 2nd in class.

Think i will have to let Dad drive at the next rallycross as he enjoys them too but aint as quick as me LOL.

Yeah i must have been Ray at Santa Pod.
