Well balanced RWD cars of this type make it easier to control, you can place a car like that better than any front driver or large rear driver.

Any half decent driver could drive like a hero in a car like that - but not as fast!

He is a good driver but cars like the Mk2 Escort help immensly.

Just put it this way on a particular piece of road I took my Rootes equivalent in hatch form at xmph on loose chippings, in any Omega or Carlton I kust about managed X in the dry, that said at x+10 mph I saw a car nearly lose it with a wheel in the air.

There is something fantastic about powerful light short RWD cars with heavy duty suspension, and they are great to watch.

Just wish I was as good and could be so happy running so close to the limit
