Puka GP4 escort , how can anyone argue this is the best rally car of all time . Not one car has come close and never will . The DFV of its time . Not bad driving too 😇
This is so insane, then for no apparent reason they put fucking GIANT STONES on the track and dude keeps his foot down and the car sideways the whole goddamn time
If only WRC still used more basic cars like this, without all high tech shocks, diffs etc + H pattern with clutch, Latvala wuold have won the title atleast once. Born too late! :(
Now this is how you drive an Escort on the limit...Sucks that he didn't have a ride this year in WRC. Hopefully he will come back. I think he is the longest competing WRC driver. He is pretty funny when they interview him at the end of stages. They should make him a commentator or something.
I find it very interesting that he seems to be using the clutch in a normal fashion, without heel and toe downshifting. In fact, I think I only saw him blip the gas once while down shifting, and I think he was left foot braking at the time. Towards the end of the video the transmission pops out of second gear and then shortly there after, he seems to be having trouble holding low gears. I wonder if there was a gearbox problem that wouldn't allow heel and toe?
