That's what Hannu Mikkola and Gunnar Palm did in 1970, winning the London to Mexico World Cup Rally behind the wheel of their Mk1 Ford Escort. The event, sponsored by UK newspaper the Daily Mirror, marked the FIFA World Cup football tournament passing from the 1966 hosts, England, to the 1970 hosts, Mexico.
The famous victory led to Ford bringing out the special edition Escort Mexico, which became hugely popular with fast Ford fans and now has a strong following with classic car enthusiasts.
A 25th anniversary event was held in 1995 following the same route, with Ford entering a replica of the 1970 winning Escort. Mikkola and Palm were once again behind the wheel, and just like in 1970 they piloted the Escort to victory.
