Default Senna driving ford concept ralley cars

Probably a repost but I did like the vid...

Very interesting that ford had these concepts and what they would have been like had they come to fruition.

One of my favourite YouTube clips! The escort is a gartrac g3 with cosworth 3.4 v6 gaa lump! How cool would that have been if they made it.

I,ve got the article somewhere indoors from CCC and its a brilliant read. They mentioned that Senna probably hadn,t even seen a Rallye car before let alone drive one and at the end of the day he was very good indeed. IIRC he came straight off track 1st outing in the 3 door . Italso mentioned how much he enjoyed it and what a great guy to be with was.

You can tell he likes that 3 door he can't keep his hands off it lol. I would be the same. A wrc 3 door would have been epic

Ahh, sry, vid did not load for me.

Yes, I remember the article, and them saying that he was a natural, and with a few more days tuition he would make a very good rally driver.

Remember the feature, couldn't remember which mag it was...
They don't make rally cars, or F1 drivers like they used to!? Wonder what Senna would be doing now? Boss of Senna F1 I guess....
Or a top bod in the FIA.
