The Ford Escort that won the 1970 London-Mexico World Cup Rally, having a bit of trouble with this corner.

From the Goodwood Programme for this car:

"Over 100 cars started the 16,000-mile London-Mexico World Cup Rally in 1970, but only 23 finished. Hannu Mikkola won the incredibly tough event, which featured 500+ mile stages, and drives this weekend"

OOPS.

  • Good effort for pushing it too the limit (and a bit further). It's what it's built to do.

  • mk1&2 escorts have always been extremely tail happy

  • If he didn't get the rear wheel in the dirt, he probably would have made it.

  • @fatboy69s Spot on mate. The original was driven by Hannu Mikkola and Gunnar palm. 25 years later they built this car for the anniversary rally and it was again driven by Hannu Mikkola. And he won it again :)

  • It wasnt the original car that was crashed - it was a replica that was built for Ford. The original car was registered FEV 1H whilst the replica, & the one that was crahsed, was registered H1 FEV.

  • @CodeTwo2 I hate people who do that

  • What's with all this childish cheering in recent times, when people crash?

  • GUTTED. :(

  • @TheHartattack09 Apparently he could'nt drive that either !!
