To be honest.
If you know much about modern stage rallying, especially on circuits, the Mk2 is now perhaps the weapon of choice other than a well set up WRC car or a well driven club spec 4wd car.
They usually are podium contender. Or potential winner in the right hands.
But they bear little relation to a proper Mk2. Most are Millington powered, 2.5 litre 330 odd hp, weigh less than a piece of paper, flappy paddle gears.
So don't be fooled, they are basically Mk2 Escort kit cars, and bear about as much relation to a real Mk2 as a Focus WRC to a Focus diesel!
