ADAM HAWKESWORT­H

MARTINI ESCORT RS COSWORTH

-

Adam Hawkeswort­h’s Escort was causing a buzz all day in the pit garages, with its combinatio­n of iconic livery and ultra- desirable spec. The car’s YB was built by DP Motorsport, and then mapped by PJ Motorsport to deliver over 500bhp. Adam’s built it the EsCos as an uncompromi­sing, yet fully road- legal track car, with a full cage and helmet nets and everything else you’d expect. But that doesn’t mean he’s shy about using it on the road – he didn’t trailer it to Ford Fair, he drove it all the way from the south coast!

Grip proved a bit of an issue on track, with the car wheelspinn­ing way in excess of 100mph, but the Cossie was a firm favourite with the crowds. Expect to see a full feature on this car soon! QUICK SPEC 500bhp+ YB, side-exit exhaust, Sparco Sprint seats, full rollcage, helmet nets
