Mk4 Escort Estate, ST170 on Throttle Bodies

[SHIFTY]

Nice one mate, would love to go there some day!...must be sore on the car though if you had to give it full pelt all the way round a few time lol

Too right! Eight 14 mile laps flat out, not to mention the 3000+ miles getting to there and Norway.... (much of that flat out too )

your aff yer heed

Here's a vid from the Ring a few months back. This was the last lap of the day in the Estate taking 9:51min.

The day before I had ripped the exhaust off in the Carousel, and during this day the Alternator self destructed due to prolonged high revs. I still drove it to Norway for Gatebil the day after though!

For future trips it seriously needs its handling sorted though, as it was very vague, heavy and prone to sudden understeer
Still all good fun, can't wait to get back!
