Taking a 10.000Rpm Ford Escort Mk1 BDA right to the Limit

José Silvino Pires in his usual spectacular style in an equally spectacular machine

Among the various machines José Silvino Pires has raced through the years on the Portuguese Hillclimb Championship, probably the most charismatic is the Ford Escort Mk1 BDA. With around 280Hp/10.000Rpm, this Classic Escort has beaten much more modern and more powerful machinery thanks also to its low weight ( around 870Kg of dry weight) and some very aggressive driving.
