Video: Block & Atkinson meet a Mk2 Escort

Block Mk2 Escort

Rally drivers Ken Block and Chris Atkinson meet up to have a play with a legendary rally car from the late 1970’s, the Ford Escort Mk2.

Chris Atkinson traveled to New Hampshire to meet up with Ken Block at Team O’Neal’s Rally School and have a play in Ken’s rear wheel drive 1978 Mk2 Ford Escort, rather than  usual AWD Subaru Impreza we are used to seeing Ken playing about in.

The Escort features a 2.4L four-cylinder Millington engine attached to a WRC style six-speed sequential gearbox, producing 280bhp.
