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).
