Ford Escort MkII (Hannu Mikkola - Manx International Rally 1979) - The famous Eaton Yale sponsored Escort MkII, this time on the Manx International

Looks good, been waiting for this. I downloaded it but when I try to unwrap it I get a message saying it is not a valid RAR file ! Am I doing something wrong ?
Cheers. T.

Fixed it, downloaded WinRAR and it extracted OK. Any chance you could do the 1979 Lomard RAC livery as well !? Would be awesome to have both. Are you aware of any good BDA / BDG engine sound file mods for the Escort ?

Hi @Busterbvi! I'm glad you fixed the unwrapping issue. As for the RAC livery, yeah, will do it. I told myself that if someone asked for it, I would provide, so stay tuned!!
And sadly, no, I don't know of any sound mod for DiRT Rally 2.0

Excellent, Top Man, Thank you ! Can you PM your email address ? I have something for you for the RAC livery.

Greetings. just following up on our last chat. Did you ever get around to doing the 79 RAC livery ?

Cheers. T

Sorry about that. For the last months I haven't been enjoying myself too much, so I was just releasing stuff that I had already made.
But now I think this is ready to see the light of day. Again, I'm really sorry for the delay.

No problem at all, looks awesome ! Thank you
Now all we need is to find someone who can do a nice accurate BDA/BDG engine sound pack and
the DR2 Escort will be spot on !

It would be great. Sadly, knowing how CM encrypted many archives on this game, I don't know if it would be possible. Or if it would break some game features
