I just love the way this XE handles ,so good for a Big Falcon and sounds great and doesn't need to scream its head off to push her along at a good pace 👍🙂

Love it. Sounds like that engine build is a great balance for responsive perf in this event. I've noticed others with similar cars overdo the power and end up struggling. Sometimes less is more if it's in the right zone. Could be wrong of course but it sounds like that engine is singing in the right places imo. Mary, what a lady supporting the passion!

You're not crazy racing with your wife next to you. There is a a very successful father and daughter team that race a GRP4 Mk2 Escort in the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship. Sweet Falcon btw, just don't do an Eric Bana and chuck it into the scenery. He had an XC Coupe, but all of the old Aussie Fords are precious and as awesome as the scenery is it doesn't deserve our Fords, that's what they built Holdens for. Just kidding. 🙃👍

More like cashed up baby boomers thinking they’re invincible. Pretty hard on the families and emergency workers that have to clean up the mess. Much safer ways to enjoy motorsports.

The previous engine was the original matching number 351, the replacement is a very mild 351, built to standard spec rules for this event. It has 200kw at the wheels and 500nm or torque.
