Default Some videos you might enjoy.

I can't remember where I got these from, but I thought now that I have a web server up and running, I'd share them with everyone here who might enjoy them:

Some video of a Cosworth powered Mk 2 Escort on a race track

The advertistment for the Mark 5 RS2000 in the UK

Some video of an RS1800 launching

Some video of an RS1800 being given a hard time

Enjoy, and if one of the links doesn't work, try again later, the server is only a home PC, and the connection is only a 512/128 ADSL line, so it would be very easy to overload it, so please only download one video at a time. I've got lots more to share, but those will do for now

The RS1800 driver could do with some lessons, in my opinion! LOL.

Thanks for uploading them, just getting the first file, on dialup so it takes a lil while here.

Yeah no worries!

The car in the first video has real issues too - once he gets traction it really flies, but far out, it struggles.

Yeah, looks like traction is a bit of an issue for him, but power doesn't seem to be lacking!

Some more for you and anybody else who might be interested:

The Rothmans Escort years 26.1 MB (27,402,781 bytes)

A Mk 2 Escort doing it's thing during a rally in wet, muddy conditions 445 KB (456,237 bytes)

Looks like a promotional video for the Focus 664 KB (680,448 bytes)

Some video of some twin cam Mk 1 Escorts in a rally cross event 4.72 MB (4,958,275 bytes)

"The Escort soon became the car to have, if you wanted to win rallies" 7.69 MB (8,073,355 bytes)

Something different, a film a friend of mine made - 2.48 MB (2,600,960 bytes) if you want a better quality clip of this one, let me know.

Enjoy!
