The Corsair was heavier than the Cortina with similar engine and running gear so it seldom appeared in races or rallies at a level above 'racing the family car' but Ford did set some long distance records at Montlhery or Nardi. I think they were in the 'Ford publicist' class rather than true International Class Records.
There could never have been a Ford Corvair or Chevrolet would never have been able to to use the name.
