Jorge J. Balparda

Montevideo, Uruguay

Every month my son and I are participating in different rallies along my country, and as a consequence of that, I would like to send you some photos taken during special moments in those races for you to include in my future Project Car section. Before buying the escort we have been competing with my son's Mini HL 1000.

We started racing in 1999 and finished the year in the 3rd place. I bought the Escort at the beginning of 1999 and I spent more than seven months to rebuild it as it is now.

The escort is a replica RS 1600 and I am very proud of it. This year we have participated in two local rallies and in both cases we got 2nd price. Our schedule of races for the rest of the year seems to be full of events starting the next one in August. This rally will be a very exciting since it will be in an area plenty of hills called Sierras de Minas ( this is the land of our famous and well known pilot Gustavo Trelles -Formula N -
Champion).
