🔍 Car stories

This is the story of the 1977 Zakspeed Ford Escort RS1800 group 2 (# zak g2 004/77) that Dieter Quester raced at the 1978 Macau Guia Race with this famous Marlboro livery. Quester and his teammate Heyer were so fast that suspicion came up and the scrutineers rechecked the cars. That didn't calm the opposition, and Yanagida pushed Quester into the barrier at the final practice. The Zakspeed Team was lucky that Jackie Stewart had crashed his Escort of the "Race of Giants" so they could use body parts to rebuild the front of Quester's car. It all came to nothing since a puncture in the race moved him into the barriers once again after a fine demonstration with this teammate Heyer. The Escort was then rebuilt at the workshop in Niederzissen and prepared for Herbert Stenger - the freshly crowned group 1 European Hillclimb champion. Ford Motorsport Köln backed the effort for the 1979 season, and Stenger rewarded them with a title in the German Hillclimb championship. Stenger also nearly missed the crown in the European Hillclimb championship.
