Question about Escort from IMSA GT
I was checking some websites with IMSA GT results but none is specifying exact model and engine type of Ford Escort from 1974 driven by Juan Montalvo. I attached picture of this car from Daytona Finale (1.12.1974) that I found on racingsportscars.com website. I would appreciate it very much if somebody could help me identify this model.

With those body modifications, I don't think there's any way to know the original model without knowing the engine type.
Likely to be RS1600 (or GT if 1300cc).
Bit late for a TC unless it is 1600cc class (RS1600 was 1601cc). 1100cc and even 1000cc were raced in UK around then.
For me it sound reasonable to remove Hybrid from the car in terms of cost saving. If I am not mistaken, one unit is ca 15% of the total car cost. And in most of the rallies, more than one unit is...
