@ANDy ESCOS
Take a look at post 155, the Escort from Hesemanns looks nearly like mine from underneath. |

News 10.09.2009
Ford will send the Grp.5 Capri to the ADAC-Eifelrennen at the end of the month. Also the old DTM and DRM Cars will have some races. We will go with 8 MK1 and MK2 Escorts also a Capri RS2600 for the regulary run at the Green Hell.... More informations at www.adac-eifelrennen.de Anybody else there??? Greeds from Germany Stefan ADAC Eifelrennen vom 25. bis 27. September 2009 Ford Motorsport bei den DTM-Legenden prominent vertreten Ein Fest für Tourenwagen-Fans ist das große Treffen DTM- und DRM-Legenden beim Eifelrennen. Im riesigen Zelt mitten im Fahrerlager sind die Rennwagen der legendären Meisterschaften aus den 70er, 80er und 90er Jahren zu sehen. Eigens für das spätsommerliche Treffen der Old- und Youngtimerszene öffnet Ford seine Schatztruhe und schickt einige unvergessene Fahrzeuge zum Ring. Mit dem Capri prägten die Kölner schon in der DRM das Geschehen, und folgerichtig sind zwei berühmte Modelle zu sehen: Ein nach Gruppe-2-Reglement aufgebauter Ford Capri RS von 1974 steht für die frühere Phase, in der die Einsatzfahrzeuge noch vom Werk selbst aufgebaut wurden. Später übernahmen Tuner diese Aufgabe – und waren dabei überaus erfolgreich: Ein ebenfalls ausgestellter Gruppe-5-Capri Turbo ist dafür das beste Beispiel. Der Rennwagen im Würth-Design war das Fahrzeug, mit dem Klaus Ludwig 1981 Deutscher Rennsportmeister wurde. Zunächst noch parallel zur DRM entwickelte sich später die DTM, in der Ford in den späten 80er Jahren ebenfalls eine prägende Rolle spielen konnte. Die Motorsportfachleute von Ford schicken stellvertretend für diese Ära ein Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth im schwarz-roten Texaco-Design. Er lief in der DTM zwischen 1987 und 1989. |

Hi All,
Been in Singapore for work and managed to get to Malaysia to see Harvey Yap, the first driver after the car was sold away from Zakspeed. Harvey gave me a few photos of the car and the promise of more to come along with entry lists and race programs. 1st photo, car at Race Circuit in Johor Bahru, 2nd photo, Shar Alam Circuit and 3rd photo, Penang road Circuit all in Malaysia. Cheers, Gary. |

Hezemans Escort

There was indeed a second car which had visited TnT (The Shotgun) but had apparently returned to Europe. Frankie's car was rebodied with an altered Sierra silhouette which crashed. The original panels should still be somewhere in one of his warehouses in storage. I have a fantasy of reshelling the bits and even building some panels from carbon fibre and kevlar. Out of curiosity Frankie also has two working GAA engines. I'm sure he could be persuaded to part with either for the right price. Last edited by DrDon; 23 Nov 2009 at 23:25. |

I'm really searching the memory banks but I remember the rear end being quite similar to that in post 114 with fenders and front splitter same as post 225. It even had the same gold-centred, centre-locking 3 piece BBS wheels.
The front crossmember was a work of art with a lattice of small steel tubes. The rear wing was a completely different single post, single-seater type. Frankie should still have a lot of photos. With the YB and a Quaife 6-speed box it was a formidable car. |

I just realised that you had asked in a Caribbean forum 2 years ago. Did you ever reach Frankie Boodram? The pictures you posted look identical to the car I remember, especially the rear wing. |

I've seen the pictures of the Hezeman car as well as the Zakspeed and although Frankie's car was supposed to be a Zakspeed; It was definitely very radical. Frankie still had all of the bits except the front splitter (unless he's destroyed them). Even though the car had crashed he had everything and it had been locked away in a repairable state. I could give you his number if you like.
The monopost rear wing, semi space-frame chassis, and the alloy cage I definitely remember. |

Hi All,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. For all who are interested the Zakspeed had it's first run 2 weeks ago and went very well, it was so good to drive it and hear it run again the way it was built too after so long. Just a few minor issues that I am sorting now and will be ready to race 2nd week in Feb. Will add a short video link soon, I have attached a few photos for now. Regards, Gary. |

Gary zakspeed 65, while trying to uncover the history of my car , i have found some interesting info and pics of a genuine Zakspeed Escort (im not really up on what stage gr 2 grp 5 etc.) car racing here in Australia. I have come across a Zakspeed Escort imported here 1981 in Western Australia by Ian Grey sold to Mike Mettam then on to John De Haan before being sold on to a Queensland buyer in 1989. Through this period the car raced in Malaysia and at apoint around 1986 the car had its original engine replaced with a Rotary. The car is still in Queensland.
