Ford Escort Rallying Photo - Is This Real?
Apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum to post this in, but I've just seen a photo on Facebook and its really piqued my interest. The photo in question is this one:
 Some elements of the picture look slightly out of place (as in the picture might be a photoshop), but I guess this could also be caused when the image was transferred to digital format. My question is this: has anyone seen this picture before and do you know if its real or not. If so, who is the driver? |

Have certainly seen a picture like this a long time ago, it left a dent in my memory.Have a feeling it was in Motor Sport magazine, possibly BjornWaldegaard driving (not sure)

Thanks for the info! Did a bit of Google searching and I've also found this image:
 Looks like it might be the same corner? This also points to Björn Waldegård being the driver. I couldn't find any pictures of Waldegård's car with the livery from the first picture on it though. |

Sorry for the double post, but it seems the picture is real! Driver was Mário Silva, co-driver was Rui Bevilacqua, the event was the Rally of Portugal 1982.

Think I've found "part 2" of the original picture:

What's up with those photoshopped "numberplates"?
