Hi Matt, was wondering how you got into rallying and what you’d recommend doing to get into it (the cheapest way basically haha!) cheers oli

Bring back the Dunlop SPR3's & and M&S tyres...!

Soon..........

Best 5N review. Too many pointless tyre shredding track videos, great to see and hear about a real world road review. Ride quality is hugely important, thanks for covering it

Great video matt nice to see behind the scenes

Legend

Gorgeous. Doin 'what gorgeous does. Bein' racy.

Superb i love it .😊❤

Shame that not more of these have survived because they are every bit as good,if not better, than the wall-to-wall Escorts & they did win the WRC 3 times.The big problem,of course,as with most(all!) Italian cars of the time,was that they corroded heroically! This example sounds terrific.

👍👍👍☔️☔️☔️

magnificent car.........poetry on rubber.........world champion

Didnt see any spectators shows how heavy rain was

Impressive drive in those conditions

Fair play to you! That was impossible to read! So much standing water!

Great bit of driving keeping it between the ditches in those wet conditions!

that was defo wet ,well done in keeping on the road 👍

The "highs" are unreal, the "lows" are brutal and you've had more than your fair shares of Lows this year 😞

Really enjoying all the behind the scenes on a rally etc so keep up the good work and all the very best on the Cork 20 Rally in the ITRC ☘️👍👍👍

What a beautiful car it's nearly a sin to rally it.

A co-driver who opens the bag of crisps upside down isn't a good omen 😂. Great videos , keep your spirits up !

Thanks for sharing these videos with us Matt. Wishing ye all the best for the Cork 20

No words. I don't know how you can be so unlucky. Something good, very big is probably coming on the way. Just have to wait a tiny bit longer. Hang in there Matt.....

Love the channel Matt. I was out spectating and loved it.

Le luci posteriori e scocca della 131racing. Quando finirono le scocche originali !

The beat sound at all !! I think

Really enjoyed this one Matt. Superb.

This video feels like 2 main characters in a show after 10 seasons spanning across 6+ years having one last chat and talking about great times. I fell into rallying last year in the early summer and my the stories I learn along the way is just beautiful. On the topic of BRC incentive, the problem is that to do a WRC event in any car is really expensive. Chris Ingram said earlier this year in a podcast that it cost him the amount to do a BRC season to just do Rallye Monte, and he even had engine issues forcing him to retire. The problem is that Rally1 is 2.5 times more expensive to run than a Rally2/R5. If you won the BRC or Finnish Rally Championship back in the 90s/00s from what I've seen is that almost every rally fan would know your name and it would be easier to do a wrc season in just a small works team in the top of wrc. What the FIA need to do in 2027 is have cars as fast or close as fast the rally1 cars but make it cost effective, that it allows teams like M-SPORT but also manufactures to enter the sport and also allow national champions to have at least a chance a 2 rallies, it would help get drivers into the spotlight leading to more sponsor offers/deals. Don't me wrong, these Rally1 cars will forever be one of my favorite group of rally cars and in the next 40 years I'll be telling my children and the young generation on how everyone would turn their heads looking at these amazing beasts with drivers pushing to the absolute limit.

Penttiedwards, Great content!

Ciao awesome 👍🧡❤💪

“The new handling package on the Fiesta” 😂 Tough luck Matt, these things happen when everything is being pushed to the limit

That's a nice golf swing 👌

I'm really liking this vlog series Matt keep them coming, hopefully the next episode is on a more positive note 🤞

Really enjoying the vlogs Matt. Well done your luck will change

Really really unlucky Matt. The correction you made to catch the oversteer looked so minor, it seems an unjust punishment. Really enjoying the vlogs, I hope you keep them up!

Really enjoying these raw behind the scenes vlogs!! I love that you are the ultra professional, but I feel you are too hard on yourself Matt. Surely its been a tough period of bad luck recently and sadly the title has slipped out of reach. Maybe its time to take the pressure off yourself heading in to Ceredigion, no targets, just enjoy the driving and find that magic once again and see what comes of it? I really hope you can find that level again as soon as! Take care sir!

Those roads are sooooo narrow and dirty too, very unlucky with that stump.

Very unfortunate Matt. The finest of lines from success to heartbreak that takes to win an ITRC round and championship. Yourself, Keith and Callum have raised the profile of the championship this year and it would be great to see you give the championship another lash next year given the experience gained this year by doing the championship.

Gutted for you. Onto the next one. Good luck back home.

Keep the head up Matt.... it will come. Both you and Keith are the reason Irish motorsport is gathering a bit of pace again for the 1st time sime Craig did the championship. Thank you for you're commitment, we appreciate it.

GREAT WATCH MAT EDWARDS

Excellent vlog, unreal pace and so unlucky, good luck to Matt on the Ulster

Loved this Vlog Matt! Love your honesty too, to go home to your family is way more important than anything! Even if Donegal is the greatest rally the world over! Your time will come my friend! Best of Luck on the Ulster tomorrow! 👏🏻🍀

First class. 🤝

Great video Matt. Keep these ones coming. Best of luck for ulster

What a wonderful insight. I've always been a huge fan of how Matt went rallying and used to love listening to him the Absolute Rally Podcast (until Tony took his train set home 😂). He's a genius behind the wheel, the records, the speed, the wins prove that, but he has also had to put deals together from everywhere. Plenty of good men would have given up a long time ago. I've been going to watch Irish rallying since the late eighties, and without question, this is the best Irish Tarmac Championship I've ever witnessed. The pace that Matt, Keith and Callum in particular are running is simply different class, many is the day this year that I've said "how" when they passed me, cameras just don't do justice to the speed these champions are at. For a layman, it defies belief to watch them on the fast stuff sometimes. Now, for this weekend, I'm torn, Keith is a local man to me, so I'm pulling for him, but then i find it nearly impossible not to root for Callum, a pure gent, and finally we have Matt, we would adopt the man in Ireland if we could, so after all that, I'll be delighted for whoever wins. Us spectators are winning just watching these men do things with cars that we can only imagine. What a time to be a rally fan in Ireland. Three unmarked cars at the finish line after a great battle, that's what we really really want. Best of luck to all.👏

Great vlog and insight into what goes on behind the scenes. Best of luck for the next round in Ulster!

Great video Matt well done. Great to see the behind the scenes effort that goes into rallying.

Fascinating perspective from the drivers side of the whole Donegal Int Rally experience. What stood out for me is the preparation and detail involved nowadays into a rally especially as it’s well regarded as ‘the big one’ here in Ireland. I hope over the Ulster and Cork 20, the run of the green will swing your way. Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing. It's great to see things from your perspective and not many drivers offer this. My favourite driver for reasons beyond being the fastest. Looking forward to the next one!

Unfortunate for you matt you were showing how to drive that car to the limits but it just shows you how rallying goes and how the rally isint over till its over wish you the best of luck this weekend matt👍
