Simon is some pilot, Plesure to watch.
In realy life it seems about 50 times fasters. It passed a modsport Sunbeam Tiger (with an X nascar motor in it), like it was stoped.

Modern Mk2 Escorts are nothing like the cars of old.

Many have custom 2.5 Millington engines, well over 300bhp, sequential transmissions, and all sorts of fancy bits !!!! Seriously fast cars in the right hands on tarmac.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
