  1. These little escorts used to win all the time due to power wait ratio They run 4 cycler cos worth racing engine Cos worth used rally to improve the engines high revving engine where it developed most of its power As you see hand full as only rear wheel drive 5 speed gear box This is late 70s early 80s model If you go back further there are earlier escort that these where based of they where alot rounder oval shaped head light I think they maybe early 70s and was just as successful They flick car to wash off speed at latest as possible to get maximum speed through corner and revs up to use power slide they work on under steer and over steer due to rear will drive Speed way uses similar principles like sprint car very short wheel base with 800 to 1000 horse power under their foot Rally lost a bit after going 4 wheel drive faster but not as much spectacular as 2 wheel drive being flicked around Like you see driver working extremely hard to control vehicle The biggest key to Rally is the tyre's and pressure for what type of surface in Oz one of the harder to drive on going by drivers interviews Drivers say the stones are round like marbles which makes it very hard to control Every country the gravel has different textures and it alters grip why different types of tyre's depending on surface It was also where they developed alot of shocker rebound and suspension information for other motor sport Alot of technology came from Rally to other motor sports
