Mk1 Escort RS Blast

It’s not often that a vehicle intended to be a comfortable family car makes it onto a petrol-head’s wish list, but the Mk 1 Escort has achieved just such a feat. Its instantly recognisable shape has secured its status as one of the legends of what some consider to be the golden age of motoring, and the fact that Paul Walker drove one in Fast and Furious 6 has confirmed its place in the hall of fame. The chance to take to the track in this car is one which will appeal to anyone with an interest in motoring history or those who wish to recreate some of the most exciting moments in movie history.

The Mk1 Escort RS Blast is an experience designed to give participants a chance to take to the track behind the wheel of such an instantly recognisable car. Participants will be greeted with a tea or coffee, the perfect accompaniment to their safety briefing which will be followed by a tour of the track to familiarise themselves with the layout and prepare them for what lies ahead.

Then it’s time to get into the driver’s seat and experience the magic of the Mk1 Escort for three laps/miles of the track. An instructor will be on hand in the passenger seat to explain the racing lines, provide advice and offer encouragement to those who are keen to demonstrate their driving prowess.

Please note, there will be a supplement fee if you choose to visit the Dunsfold, Warden Law or Castle Combe.
