Escort Cosworth Crashes On Track Day - Totalled - Like totally!

[benpowersification]

wtf? I'm no Vettel but I know when the track goes to the right its best to turn right rather than going straight on!

[supraking85]

@benpowersification i think he did, just didnt bother to brake for it so it straight lined

[daviedee123]

in the 90's it would be fixed with a sliding hammer an screw driver within a hour lol poor car should never lock brakes keep power on cossie will pull you out of trouble

[chuffernuts]

Where's MALCOLM when you need him?

[racertwo]

rapidly ran out of talent

[HmmCraig]

Who ordered the Hatchback?

[cfcstevie1888]

you spend all that money on a car and treet it like that what a fanny

[fulanilovincriminal]

Anyone else think that's not a real Escort Cosworth? Looks too small.

[hunghuge12]

I wonder how much a shell is?

[louandnan]

@hunghuge12 rolling shell £2500 - £3000!!! also did you notice how he missed all the tyres and neatly sticks it into the barrier! thats just unlucky!!

[TURBOKNIGHTRIDER]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooool

[flatoutjosh]

Iwas there that day and that was waiting to happen he nearly did it the lap before but managed to save it!! the whole crowd were shocked but me and my mate were cheering like hell!! shame but hey shit happens!!!

[jayrave4]

Obviously wasn't concentrating there then. Still, at least he saved the business end from any harm.

[jd261984]

bowed out in style used it like it should be used, RIP that cossie. legend car, they all are.

[spacegoer25]

looks like he cudnt handle the power of the car,turned in way to late aswel

[sorryunlucky]

I would of put it in first or second and full revved it would of ruined the tire's and not the car. :)

[Crazybenjiwoo]

thats nothing, alot can be saved from it.

[Draxindustries1]

Only a Ford escort, hardly anything to get upset about,,,

[Bally46]

@Draxindustries1 :/ faster than a focus rs that lol

[dangriffin118]

@Draxindustries1 aha do you know anything about cars? thats a ford escort rs. changed motoring for many, proved that cars that go like stink, dont need to be expensive or impractical. this thing will show up most things on the road even today. and it's sad to see one go, because true originals are becoming so rare!

[topicmanon]

@Draxindustries1 its a cossie of course its enough to get upset about

[Jaymza30]

ooooh, a corner! Wot do i do? Um, not that?

[UKChris023]

Must be paintfull to watch for the guy

[m3ganecoup3z]

yes the engine might be fine but you try and find a genuine escort cosworth shell, its not happening

[Educalifa]

Picked the only spot with no tire barrier... poor bastard!

[madeupname37]

For sale

One Escort Cosworth "bobtail"

One careful owner, one not so careful.

[zoso11]

no way thats daves cossie!! never knew this made it onto youtube. lovong the slow mo voices at the end

[charlieflint]

Ouch! poor old Cossie! :( Still, at least the guy seemingly walked away without an issue. Time to get re-shelling!

I've never been to this circuit, but that must a really fast corner that's very easy to get it wrong on! I saw a really nice new age WRX STi meet a similar fate in pretty much the same spot.

[bizzyfingers]

if you never crash, you never went fast. at least his engine will be fine

[sgddfgfghfgh]

@bizzyfingers no you got it wrong mate, if you've never crashed it doesn't mean you've never gone fast. If you've crashed and you've been going fast, it means you're a shit driver and were going too fast

[111teamomori]

was this lap one? if not why did he think he could just 'add' 40mph to the corner entry speed. that was a heavy shunt!

[TheeBaker]

man that is painful to watch, what a nice car to, that corner catches loads of ppl out!

[eggfromsywell]

Gutted and how unlucky that he hit the only 6 foot of barrier that didn't have tyres infront of it

[speedbanana2008]

Malcolm!!!!!

[SynerZ0]

Looks like he hit some oil.

[eezy1972]

At least it was being driven as it should be!

[OldSkoolEX]

@eezy1972 if it was being driven like it should be then he would have actually gone around the corner..

[lh04rej]

hope he was ok, it should be ok to reshell the car.

[590bapcosworth]

think i wanna cry ...

[1980cossie]

Wonder if the owner wants to sell me his Morettes i think they survived the crash, tell him i've got a mint cossie in one piece they'd be going to a good home - not a loser who can't drive & crashes it on track days showing off!!!

[bastosrallying]

i know who it is who was driving that escort cos and i bet you would get a broken jaw if you said that to his face.

you fucking spastic.

[therealdojj]

i'm pretty sure i'd know who it was as well, these things happen on track days and it's not nice to hear people taking the piss

[2wd350bhp]

this was exactly my thoughts, show boatin on the track and now hes got a wrecked cos!!!!

[VelocityRXB]

Love the casual pre-emptive ''Bang'' lol

[cospete40]

was stood by the fence when it happened ..

driver was gutted but ok about it ..knew the risks ... must say before he was doing well in it ..

[paulhardy1000]

rally cars,not track cars

quite busy for a trackday though

[1980cossie]

One less Cossie, puts the prices up for those remaining - Keep crashing them boys & i'll just leave my 23K Minter sat in the garage & use my TVR Sagaris for daily use ;-)))

[spud0309]

Poor sod bet hes gutted, still least he drives it not like most worth drivers who polish polish ploish, we can all appreciate the time and effort that goes into some of them but come on get them out and drive them like they should be.!!!!

[sorryunlucky]

@spud0309

It's not too much of a loss he could buy a new one strip the front head lights and the engine and turbo (if it has one) the only thing that are scrap are his wheels and spoiler he could buy a normal escort (cheap) and put the parts on.

[Aliasify]

@sorryunlucky Apart from the fact that the Escort Cosworth has the seirra cosworth floor pan and not the normal escort floor pan.

[sorryunlucky]

@Aliasify

He could buy a cheap Cosworth with minor damage then and put the parts on will probably just have to respray it.

[RatchetMonkey]

i felt sick watching that, not for the driver, but for the one less escort cosworth on the roads :(

[Kinlochbervie50]

you know, id rather they crash them here than on a public road bu a real shame to see it happen as the car is a beaut.

horrible luck that it hit the only bit of uncovered armco.

[Harber3]

hit the only bit that wasnt covered with tires, bummer, shame to see a cosworth go like that

[montg2perfection]

shittttttttttttttt :( :( :(

[Coby19666]

Poor cossie :(

[ant16rst]

castle combe init? iv seen a few go off there but not that hard, poor car she didnt deserve that

[themaster3rules]

Castle Combe?

[crazeydaisy]

[lukesaddy]

[ginge880]
