Modern Spec Escort on a Tarmac Stage

James Ford arrived with his modern spec Escort on Tuesdays private test day with what the rally fraternity refer to as Irish spec which includes paddle shift. james the youngest of the drivers attending clearly had the biggest balls and we were surprised he didn't have to tow a trailer to carry them.

Its well worth checking out the onboard. He reminds me of how a certain C. McRae used to drive. James started rallying in 2008 in a Subaru Impreza but currently tends to enter events in his other Historic Spec Mk2. His retirements vs total starts confirm his likeness to Colin with 27 retirements in 64 starts. 2 overall victories and 8 class wins to his name.
