Ford Escort MK2 Driving Experiences

Available exclusively to drive through TrackDays for our Rally Driving Experience days at Silverstone Rally School, the Ford Escort MK2 is a special version of this much loved and popular model, custom prepared with rally driving out on the gravel and dirt in mind.

This particular model you’ll be taking to the wheel of is actually a former World Rally Championship winner, and under the guidance of an expert instructor, you’ll get to feel and witness the sheer throttle and power this car can really offer in the rough and ready world of rally driving.

This two door saloon Escort is powered on a Straight 4 engine, which roars out with 110 bhp, and accelerates from 0 - 60 mph in 8.6 seconds. It’s capable of reaching a top speed of 112 mph, perfect for mastering power and pendulum slides and handbrake turns.

We also include Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire, RAF Honington in Suffolk, and Abingdon Airfield in Oxfordshire. No matter where you are, our location tools in the top left corner of this page may help you discover a great driving day near you.

How to Make a Reservation for a Ford Driving Experience

Our open gift cards are a great present idea and the most flexible way to book your next Ford driving day package on the day and time of your choice.

All purchases come with email coupons, but at check-out, we may offer you extra gift wrapping choices via Royal Mail or DPD, which may add to the surprise for the sports fan in your life and are ideal for commemorating any special occasion.

Our experiences are as up to date as possible. We maintain frequent contact with suppliers and venues so that you may book directly on any of the days mentioned in the Events Calendar.

If you buy an open Ford package gift voucher, double-check the validity period since certain Ford vouchers and special offers may have a shorter or longer validity period. This will be mentioned clearly on the reservation.

Please keep in mind that booking a Ford Experience on a certain day constitutes a reservation request that is subject to availability. We typically confirm your reservation within 48 hours, but you should wait until you get final confirmation before making any arrangements.

Another important factor to consider when purchasing a Ford Experience is that the driver meets all age, weight, height, and licence criteria. Each event has its own set of criteria, so be sure you've gone over all of the details. If you are unsure about anything please contact our customer service team who will be happy to assist you.

Although this is not always the case, if an experience is for young drivers, we will generally mention it in the package name. If the driver does not meet the criteria on the day of the Ford Experience, they will most likely be unable to drive.

The Ford Escort MK2 was much loved by British motorists all throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The commercial road model was also notably the nation’s biggest selling car of 1976. In fact it was so well loved, that there was a public outcry when the third generation of models, introduced in the 1980s, were almost going to be called the Ford Erika rather than the Escort - hence they stuck with the name everyone loved.

It was, up until a few years ago, still pretty easy to obtain an Escort MK2 on the second hand market. But a combination of the fast growing popularity of rally driving in motorsport, plus age and parts supply have seen to it that to find a Ford Escort MK2 in good condition could set you back anything from £10,000 upwards. But with TrackDays, you can book a rally driving experience in one without the hefty price tag.

All experiences are subject to availability. The most recent information on dates when an event may be available can be checked by looking at the calendars on the website, or when you have activated and logged in with your voucher. Please note not all spaces are shown online so if you cannot see spaces for your event please call or email for dates. We will do our best to secure your preferred choice of event, venue and date, but to avoid disappointment book as early as possible, especially for peak times such as weekends and the summer months which book up very quickly. Do not purchase an experience for yourself or as a gift that has a choice of venues if you or the person it is for are only able to travel to one of the choices. Once you are booked, you are bound by the terms and conditions of the event host of which a copy can be made available upon request. In most circumstances, a cancellation cannot be made once a date has been booked.

When booking by phone or online you should not make arrangements in connection with an Event until you have received your final booking confirmation stating your date and time (this does not include the automatic purchase email you receive that confirms what you have just ordered). Your final confirmation will usually arrive within 48 hours of making the purchase. For voucher redemption see 'voucher conditions' below. Where specific elements of an Event such as vehicles or equipment are not available due to mechanical breakdown, we reserve the right to make reasonable substitutions on the day. If this is not possible we reserve the right to cancel the experience at short notice.

Voucher holders must make a prior booking and receive confirmation in order that an open voucher can be redeemed. We recommend that when you have chosen your experience you redeem your voucher at least 21 days in advance of taking your selected experience. We do not guarantee availability on all events, even if the date is showing, so if a chosen event is full or you cannot find a suitable date during the validity period of your voucher then the credit can be used towards an alternative event. Do not arrive at a venue expecting to be able to use your voucher without making a prior booking and receiving a booking confirmation. Trackdays.co.uk will not be held liable for any costs incurred in such circumstances.

Unless stated otherwise, vouchers are valid for one person only. Where necessary a top-up payment can be made to increase the value of a voucher to book a higher priced event. Note that during the out of season months the price of experience may change. If the price of the event is lower than the value of the voucher the remaining credit will be held for use until the vouchers expiry date. We recommend booking as early as possible as you must have undertaken your experience before the expiry date printed on the front of your Voucher. All vouchers will be valid for use up to the expiry date displayed, but after this date, vouchers will automatically expire and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances. Trackdays.co.uk staff are not responsible for reminding or informing customers when a voucher is due to expire. A voucher holder may book a date which is outside of the expiration date displayed on the voucher but must extend the expiry of their voucher for an administration fee. This must be processed before the original expiry date. Voucher credit cannot be used for extension fees or to pay for booking protection.
