Scalextric Ford Escort Mk1 RS1600 - 1973 RAC Rally Winner
C3029
The 1973 Daily Mirror RAC Rally was the 22nd running of the British rally, and the twelfth round of the inaugural World Rally Championship season. Run in mid-November in the County of Yorkshire in England, the rally was run primarily on gravel, with some sections of tarmac as well.
In 1973, and for several years afterward, only manufacturers were given points for finishes in WRC events. Britain was home terrain for the Fords and the RS1600 wrapped up all three podium spots.
The Scalextric model
Scalextric first made the Ford Escort in 1970 and issued six liveries which, even today, are very desirable cars for the rally enthusiast. The all new Scalextric car improves upon the original model design in all area – detail, interior fittings, body shape, livery decoration and stunning performance. The car is fitted with the super fast in-line FF motor. A standard Scalextric Ford Escort also won the Brooklands Test Hill Challenge in August 2009.
