Fast action sequences set the scene for this thrilling story from the late 1970s which follows the outstanding career of the most successful rally car of the era - and one of the greatest rally cars of all time.
A car which succeeded on tarmac and gravel, snow and sand, in the winning hands of memorable drivers such as Vatanen, Mikkola, Waldegard, Clark and Taylor, rewarding Ford with a stunning 8 consecutive RAC victories and a number of driver and manufacturer World Championships.
Ford introduced the MkII Escort in early 1975 and it quickly set the British rally scene alight with spectacular competition.
Before long this success had extended to the World Rally Championship and such highlights as the ultra-challenging 1977 Safari Rally.
In 1981 Rothmans employed three top drivers to contend what developed into a nail-biting drivers’ World Championship, contributing to the lasting legacy made by this unforgettable car.
In this engrossing classic film you can follow the MkII’s exciting history through every major rally of the period with fast, furious action, top personalities, fascinating facts and authoritative commentary by Ford historian Graham Robson.
There’s also plenty of nostalgic promotional footage and special events such as an entertaining duel on an ice-covered Swedish lake!
Now available on DVD for the first time, this is a real blast from rallying’s exciting past. We're on INSTAGRAM: bit.ly/2evtvsg

The original drift kings...
TWO OF MY IDOLS RIP
TWO OF MY IDOLS FROM THE HISTORY OF RALLY
The one and only Gunnar Palm in the Fiesta. Reading his biography was the best book about rallying I've read do far.
Talented proper drivers

ALLE ORIGINI DEL DRIFT💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👍🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏
I loved my 79 escort mk2
It's a fun video to watch. I wonder if one of the drivers was faster than the other that day? Audi's Quattro would soon take advantage of a WRC rule change and change rallying forever.
Is it me or is Waldergard fighting with his steering wheel and Mikola is out for a Sunday drive ???
The correct title is not ''drifting''. Is dancing
Didn’t Lancia with the 037 and Opel with the Ascona do something similar?
Kahva eellä😀
What's the song?
Group B legends
Lavandina Querubín This is 1970s wrc...group B was early to mid 80s
The cars are Group IV to be exact.
I don’t recall Bjorn Walderguard ever competing in Groupe B.
@@frazerguest2864 He did, the rwd Celica just wasn't competitive anywhere else than the most extreme hardcore endurance rallies like Africa where he managed to win several times.
@@babar292 : Doh ! Of course. My apologies. I’d forgotten about that. Didn’t Waldergard either win the Safari or get a couple of podiums in the TTE Celica?
Lol now-a-days people claim that you NEED AWD in snow..as if your car will not be able to physically function in snow. People who can’t drive need AWD.
