Drive out to some point on the course at the next Baja 1000 and watch the 6000lbs trucks run at over 100mph on terrain you can barely walk on in some places.
Then ask yourself how long a MK2 would last out there.
And if your not just a pathetic fanboy you'll see there is something out there more hardcore than two guys in a compact car racing down a dirt road.
@sirhcskoorb YOU ARE A CLOWN ,YOU CLEARLY KNOW NOTHING OF .....motorsport if you think ,that someone is not capable of building a baja pronounced ( BA HA) MK2 ESCORT you a stuiped dick ,all it takes is money ,and the only reason them cars never competed ,in the likes of these is ,they were a euro built only car ,if you want to compare escorts against US JUNKERS ,look for the old touring car races of the 70s were they eat and shit ,them:)
"I didn't Baja was the only race." - Your writing comprehension is very poor, I assume you meant to put 'I didn't say Baja was the only race' ? Usually when someone hasn't got a valid argument they descend into sniping at others comprehension and spelling etc.
@sirhcskoorb I watch "two guys in a compact car racing down a dirt road" because I enjoy it, I am fully aware there are more hardcore sports than this. But if you drive a mk2 escort like in this video here, then a baja truck you'll realise how harder the mk2 escort is to drive... you can't just go walzing round giving these drivers no respect atall, I mean, i'm not a massive ken block fan because I wouldn't class him has a proper rally driver, but he's got a huge amount of skill. bye. xxxxxxxxxx
@mrdarrencottam glad to see you like "scorts" there is a guy that lives near , that can build a full on mk2 ,that will stay with any WRC car ,all it takes is money
@sirhcskoorb - upto a buggy or trophy truck? I'd say that was a backwards step in skill for driving! Name me an American that has ever won a single stage of a WRC event?
er, cheating snail? since when is a turbo cheating... I don't understand n/a freaks. A turbo is an elegant and efficient way to make horsepower out of what was once 100% waste. I bet you think carbs are the shit we never should have went to FI because progress is evil
while i do love the sound and feel of a normally aspirated engine, i have to say, what rock are you living under?
4wd tarmac straight lining copout? what does 4wd have to do with turbo's? what do straight lines have to do with rally cars, or enthusiasts who have the production cars said rally cars are based on?
and where is the cop out?
as for the nationality of the car manufacturer, why the FUCK should that matter? a good car is a good car.
I want this video on my C2100 phone.

@sirhcskoorb you fucking idiot , ....do you not know that the Mk2 escort ,is the most ,successful competition car ,ever made?
kevrs2 1 year ago
@kevrs2 According to the internet the most successful gay porn star is a guy named Jason Hawke.
And even though he's successful he is still a huge fag making your statement totally f%^king pointless.
The car is a gay POS.

Here's what you do....

@kevrs2 Wow, you sound really smart :)
BTW: European only models compete in Baja all the time.
But Baja is only the fastest offroad race in the world.
Why would anybody want to claim a win there?

@sirhcskoorb - Baja the only off road race in the world? Next thing you'll be saying Baja was invented before the Paris - Dakar ! Idiot American.

@tjwaines I'm not taking a lot of time to respond to you because little punks who talk shit from the safety of the internet are a very low priority.

30 years since they stopped making them, and these escorts are still the best RWD rally car in the world...simply brilliant!
...and the Millington Diamond is an awesome engine, a 4 pot breathing naturally that eats turbos for breakfast... big money though!!!
