Skarma's favourite IRL car (or at least one of them) - the Ford Escort RS Turbo. Now in lore-friendly RV form with some bits taken from the mk3 and mk4 Escorts, as well as some fantasy details here and there.
Comes with three skins: white racing livery, blue racing livery, plain blue. The name is a nod to the fact that, sadly, European Fords of this era were notoriously pretty easy to steal...
Parameters and name by Skarma. Includes a PSD paintkit.
Speaking as a Starmac aficionado, it drives nothing like it. The handling is decent but nothing compares it to Starmac. I will say the car is excellent to drive. Unless the pacing times says otherwise, this car has the potential to be too far away from the pack as it’s top speed exceeds 60kph (Over 37mph) which results in tracks like Toytanic being extremely unfair to the advanced class. I do keep in mind that the acceleration is slow, which balances it out somewhat but the higher top speed sticks out like a sore thumb especially how easy this car drives.
First thoughts, this car drives weird, the parameters are a bastardization of one of my favorite cars, the car didn’t deserve this..but..the more I drove it, I gotta say. This FWD drives a little different from what I was expecting..kinda like Starmac, if that makes sense.
I’m not a Starmac afficionado but I decided to try to beat the Swiftback-HE by Paperman, on Rooftops Chase Redux, and while it can’t beat it…not gonna lie, for a FWD car just like that, that’s a hell of an effort. Especially if it drives rather, exquisite. It kinda dislikes those jumps, tends to veer right or left when hitting them, but on any other track, like Toytanic, it…might prove as a worthy opponent and a great car to master.
So, upon testing…yeah, not gonna lie. This is another interesting Advanced car. Well worth the recommendation.
