NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT>> AWD ICONS
Filed under: , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
For my next post I'm going to show you a selection of AWD cars from Need for Speed SHIFT. As I know you guys get annoyed and hot-under-the-collar whenever any subject matter gets overplayed on Speedhunters, so I'll start to wrap things up with a wider selection of cars from the game. So let's look first at the R34. As you upgrade the Skyline, it first changes into a bit of a Time Attack style monster before becoming a low line JGTC style racer. Running around 500 hp, it differs from a...

VIDEO ROLL>> HOW TO HAVE FUN IN A 1978 FORD ESCORT
Filed under: , , , ,  

Here is a video that Ken Block sent me this morning of himself and fellow rally driver Chris Atkinson having some fun in Ken's 1978 Ford Escort. Under the hood sits a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Millington engine that boasts 280 BHP. It also is setup with WRC-styled paddle shifting and a six-speed sequential gearbox. I think this video does an incredible job of capturing the definition of fun!

Speedhunters
‘The side numbers were usually the first thing that spectators saw of my Escorts.’ These words from motoring legend Ari Vatanen, are for most, what epitomize the story of the Ford Escort.

They were driven by some of the biggest names in rallying; Timo Makinen, Roger Clark, Hannu Mikola, Bjorn Waldegard, Ari Vatanen...

EVENT>>RS OWNERS CLUB NATIONAL DAY
Filed under: , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
The RS Owners club held their annual National Day last weekend at the new home of the British Grand Prix, Donington Park As European Speedhunters will know, the RS brand has been associated with Ford Rally inspired performance products since 1970. The RS brand has come and gone during that time as Ford changed their road, race and rally programs, but the RS brand returns to the showroom in 2009 with the new Focus RS. The Owners club has a great forum and I found some great images by member, Fiddy...

MAGAZINES>> WOT (GREECE)
Filed under: , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
Ela Bouse! Not too long ago, I received a package in the mail from my friend Stathis, who I met at a drift event in Greece last summer. Stathis is one of the best AE86 drivers in Greece, and apparently he and his crew have just started a new print magazine, which comes with a drifting DVD! Since it's been sitting on the magazine rack in my living room for the past few weeks, I thought I'd share some info about it! The name of the magazine is WOT (Wide Open Throttle), and it's very interesting...
