Ollie.

Bare in mind Andy and Chris sourced, built and got these cars race ready in 3 days and Stuarts car has been running for two years. Andy also only had slicks and was getting wheelspin through all the gears apart from top so his result wasnt too shabby. Wait till a bit of testing is done and then they'll see. And it doesnt matter what they try to get them banned. Andy and Chris are there to stay and the sooner they realise it the better.....

I wasnt doubting the other cars at all. Just saying that the first place car was amazing. Superb result for all of them, I still cant get over the a1 Fiesta. That thing looked like a death trap coming out of russels

Stoo

Brasso

Good shit.

Followed it last year and will deffo be this year now theres some good competition at the top. Would have loved to have seen the reaction of the moaners when the scotts turned up in Escorts.

Hi lads

was the Escort that won(Mallory) the first race banned ?

that shouldn't be banned as that it a ligitamate car as ford made them

the focus should be allowed to run also



Ok the Fiesta they might have a case with that , but defo not for the escort or focus as ford have built 4wd Focus (m sport funded by Ford) and escort wrc built by ford



I never knew Snetterton was on ,otherwise i would have went i was doing fook all sunday aswell

anyway good to see you have sorted out the problem

Absolute massive to Andy and Chris for getting these car's built in time,as stated before it could have been alot easier throwing the towel in with only 3 days to do it!
Me personally i'm hoping that Andy,Chris and Stewart take all 3 podium places come the end of the season just to stick it right up all the moaning fuckers that have complained! Best of luck to the 3 of them.

And here's also hoping that we see the AM Sport Fiesta and Focus back some time sooner rather than later along with A1 Rallys fiesta,because at the end of the day that's what the paying public want to see,3 completely awsome motors going head to head with Stewart in their also,along with any other competitive,fast sportsman like drivers!

Ollie.

Marco they signed the petition to ban all three but couldnt ban the escort due to what you're saying. Stuart White (owner of the escort) won at Mallory and this weekend at Snetterton.

Stewart Whytes car was totally rebuilt from a bare shell at the start of the season and he is still getting used to the new set up of the car.The car has got new diffs ,new six speed gearbox and new d.o.m.e rear beam for this season.Stewarts car is also 100+ bhp down on chris and andrew.

Taylor

What kind of power is Stewarts then about 515'ish?

Redkop

Someone on another thread said it was 512bhp.

Think it was this thread https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...r=asc&start=40

Wow, his car looked head and shoulders faster than any other car on track yesterday. Wish it had been a dry race tbh.

Hi Lyn

it doesn't matter who built it , it's still a ford escort cos

Ollie.

Sorry lyn. What i meant was that he has owned the car for a couple years now and obviously is more comfortable with his car than Andy and Chris. I actually new it had been changed this year.

marco polo

Hi Ollie

why can't the focus run ? surly thats a ligitamate car it's in the rally isn't it M sport built for FORD

i personaly think who ever owns the focus they have got a case to use it

marco

andrewg

tha focus would need FIA homolagation papers. and the engine in the wrc focus sits as normal

And your point is lyn?
no one was putting sturts car down we have already said him & his car is awesome and your right stuarts car was a shell in the winter & he has had the same time as chris & andy to build his car over the winter like the 3 of them did..
The only draw back for andy n chris was the cars they spent all winter got booted out which in turn left them 3 days to build 2 escorts..& get to snetterton.
Stuart had mallory to get used to his car with the new set up i.e diffs & beam ect...while andy n chris only got one race out of the cars they worked dam hard on before the chop..
As for stuarts car being 100+bhp down chris car is at harveys just now because its only running 1.5 bar of boost when it should be over 2 bar on the day harvey brought another spring for the wastegate but it didnt fix the fault so instead of taking it home they done a d tour bye harveys to fix the problem..so stuarts car wasnt 100+bhp down.& andy had slicks on at snennertonin the wet so he culdnt have a proper go at anyone as his car was like a foot on a banana skin

rapidcossie

saw stuarts escort and the fiesta head to head a few times at knockhill and stuarts always looked that wee bit quicker

COMEDY DAN

Truly awesome show from first and second place escorts.

And lapping last years winner of the championship..............?

Outrageous..............

chrisd/amsport

a word 2 mr wise me andy and stu r here all season if he wants to start a new petition or he can move down a class to save getting whipped all year.

Big G

Quote from Mr wise at snetterton that was over heard by one of us
They f+++ing scots lads lapping ppl in the wet maniacs
theyre crazy
Better get used to it malky boy

Well said,get it right fucking up them!

zportec

I think the point Lyn was trying to make Carlo was that Stuart was just sooooooo much faster than anyone else out there. Bottom line is nobody can match his pace wet or dry regardless of the car they drive or excuses they have.

The man is on a mission with driving talent to match.
Bring on round 3

martinrs500labatts

next round in france will be


the track your doing is very small and just up from a cart track,

six corners, and four of them are 1st gear ones

so the four wheel drive escorts should do well.

Jim Green

I'm with Marco on the Focus.......... Bearing in mind the catagory's, then surely the Focus would qualify bearing in mind that M Sport built these cars for Ford where they competed at international level ??????

Fantastic racing guys.... keep it up.

Tony Ryan

what a load of Bollox Martin , when have you raced there ! I did last year and it nothing like that , a 1/4mile straight and an infield section that tests pretty much every car ! The only 1st gear for me was the hairpin onto the straight and that was to launch the car sideways to get it in line , maybe youre confused with Stowe, now thats a go-kart track

Taylor

iTrader: (1)

They already are doing well,very well!

Bring back the Focus and Fiesta!

martinrs500labatts

perhaps they have changed it tony,

whots whot andy lloyd told me last week and he has raced there before.

so we will see!


p.s why have you not got your sierra ready for this weeks brands race?

Tony Ryan

Its a good track ,lets see what these lads can manage round it !

The answer to your question is
A ; Twins

B ; Fukin Quaife !!!

MICKW

I think the lads will manage just fine.

martinrs500labatts

though the gearbox would be a pain to get done in time,

will you be ok for silverstone?

Jim Green

What's on at Brands this weekend Martin ????

Awesome Andy the lads.

To build 2 cars in three days is a fucking acheivement. It would take me about 3 years.

And as for lapping last years winner thats fucking awesome.
