In a world of hybrids, electric cars & all sorts of technological advances an Escort from the 1970’s with 3 pedals, a starting key & two Irish men is still the best.

[@Swainmtb1]

Northern.

[@thomasmaughan9994]

Ya they live in the North of Ireland 😂

[@hollyhillbilly1747]

Killarney man in the passenger seat lads.

[@thomasmaughan9994]

Meant same thing ireland north r south still ireland great driving great video

[@shamil808]

"Troo the dip" is the best note. A masterclass in car control.

[@user-rx1eu4zh3x]

* "troo da dip"

[@ainmeile]

That pace note delivery crossed the line into performance art. Absolutely brilliant!

[@tyqwax]

The camera is perfect it doesnt feel like those povs with the camera making it feel as if the driver was going 200kmh this is just perfect!

[@8888shooter]

👏👏👍... It's absolutely brilliant to see Kris behind the wheel of a rally car!!.. and especially an escort!!.....I met Kris at a few of the Rallyday shows at Castle Combe race track !!!..he's such a genuine person and has time to talk, and have photos with me!!. Fab guy!!...cracking footage!! .many thanks, Dirtfish Team 👌😁👍

[@seanfaloon1267]

0:55 "And DANGER stay middle over crest!" A well known spot on this stage. I can't wait to see him drive again on the RAC in UK. Great guy and driver when he keeps the head. WRC needs his character back.

[@isuzu_bryan]

Amazing drive lad

[@andreharewood2384]

I really love to see Meeke in action Would love for him to come back to Barbados for Sol rally Barbados 2024

[@Ifox95]

He won that rally before in a Corolla WRC

[@DropkickNation]

Kris' control over the car, throwing it sideways is absolutely insane. Holy moly!

[@StarlordStavanger]

Great job Kris! Thanks for the video DirtFish!

[@nicocrinkleburg]

These POVs just make me wanna get on the sim… no repercussions 😉

[@DropkickNation]

It immediately made me boot up RBR and see how cool I could throw the Escort. Hehe (Spoiler, not even close to as cool as Kris)

[@cookie6443]

​@@DropkickNation this video makes my pace on a Sim Rally Masters event in a mk2 escort seem like a granny on their way to the tescos... 😅

[@DropkickNation]

@@cookie6443 I mean it IS Kris Meeke we are talking about. So maybe we should not feel too bad. That being said, I was over 10 seconds slower in what I considered a good run. 👴🏻

[@jamesbdavidson4540]

Brilliant,total commitment to the notes. Class driving.👌

[@ctf1537]

Good to see Kris smiling, nice driven stage

[@terryhosker1298]

What a team Brilliant Poetry in motion

[@Yankai45]

amazing drive!

[@FSLandscaping]

Chriiiist!!! That’s tuney, well done Meeke as always, all that tail practice in the Alpina came in handy in the end 👍👍

[@nicocrinkleburg]

The “tree right, into..” 😅😮

[@scaleworksRC]

That man knows that car very well. Beautiful sideways driving, sir!

[@s4dg]

gotta be reassuring as the co-driver to hear the driver say "oh shit"

[@DirtFish]

What part of the stage made your jaw drop? 😨

[@loudwingz162]

5:18

[@usr808]

2:24 - 2:34 is absolutely jaw dropping😱

[@markos8400]

The part between orange and red boards

[@bens4043]

@4:50

[@howardalexander0621]

All of it, amazing 👏🏻

[@andydarbo7450]

some really nice cambers in that stage, i bet its a joy to drive, very nice run through that kris

[@krzych91krk]

The only thing missing for perfection is the pedal cam...

[@lt1s142]

Oh those feet were doing a jig for sure

[@wtcnl]

The missing thing for perfection is a separate mic in the car for the car sound

[@alimafivecirebonesia182]

Mantap 🎉🎉🎉

[@morris2450]

Luv the ol rear wheel drive n chuck (opposite lock) into those corners

[@Sisu_Posse_Racing]

That road 😍😍😍

[@markos8400]

Needs camera for side windows xD Really nice stage! Needs precise car positioning and tons of sisu!!! 4:59 could have ended badly, tough little car :)

[@stephenrawles89]

Seeing him absolutely send that little Escort makes me miss mine, it is such a fun car to drive on and off road either in a race or just out having fun with friends 😝

[@hollyhillbilly1747]

Any young co-driver starting out would do well to watch a bit of this. Top class note delivery from Noel. Whats going on through the windscreen is bonkers but his tone rarely changes. Loved it

[@TheRebelOne.]

Just class!

[@Hidhahonto_]

almost shitted my pants. man this is crazy

[@davidkirk6249]

Has the NZ round of the WRC ever been considered for Dunedin ?

[@karlsteeg4139]

absolutly Beautiful notes

[@stevenlane9272]

Great video, 4:15 on the lockstops!!

[@thaizzz]

That first 4 right going in absolutely blind set the tone for the whole video. Good shit.

[@D10Mmedia]

🔥🔥😍

[@user-rx1eu4zh3x]

Great onboard. Inteiror view could be a little lower to see further down the road but great stage, car, and driving more than makes up for that!

[@trsfc1595]

Just when I thought he'd go down a gear, He went up a gear. Brilliant

[@eamonnleahy]

Brilliant, jeez it looks exhausting

[@DirtFish]

You can hear Kris' heavy breathing! 😯

[@BlueHopi144]

back in the 80's , most were exhausted too

[@usr808]

​@@DirtFish He was literally wrestling with the MKII

[@usr808]

@@BlueHopi144 Good ol days huh?😎

[@BlueHopi144]

@@usr808 oh yes .....I was a fan back then & still today .

[@ardiatma6783]

Wow..!! This is extraordinary.. I don't know what it would be like if this person brought WRC hybrids, electric cars..

[@trickyjw]

What a stage

[@IvelLeCog]

I swear all the old escorts in NZ are sitting in sheds waiting for the next rally. Same with the Nissan Pulsars. You never see them on the roads anymore, but come rally weekend, you see like a dozen of them.

[@andrewhunter180]

For one year to have the top Escort drivers completing, oh a battle it would be

[@usr808]

That was beautiful❤🥲

[@MaxKoljonen]

what camera and microphone system?

[@JiveTurkey159]

Think it's just helmet headset audio and then possibly GoPros for camera

[@Alxndr32]

😎

[@TamTran-vw7zm]

I'll pick it tomo evening if that's ok. I'm still recovering from a really bad bout of anti-depressant.

[@donbrashsux]

Such driving skill in a very old rally car

[@RABEANTs]

The same thing with evans , ogier , loeb , tanak , neuville , rovanpera , o solberg would be great

[@monette44]

😮

[@rjung_ch]

👍💪✌

Yes !!! An H- pattern manual transmission!

Tru Da Dip stage

[@thirrteenthirrteen5528]

Holy shite! I bet it clanks when he walks…

[@hughmarcus1]

That co driver is a droll boy, as we’d say in Northern Ireland 😉

[@Missch_1]

My dream.

[@magruster]

I would love to drive one of these old escorts for myself. Such a shame they are so rare here in the states, they look like an absolute blast behind the wheel.

[@Filip_Phreriks]

They are rare and expensive everywhere

[@rickied.4724]

Jesus Christ, Kris!

[@massimilianobelloni5613]

Pedal to the metal

[@leonard_y32]

Tofu delivered.

Jesus Christ Kris!!!!

[@user-wb2ct8ci2l]

Would have went faster if Kris had left his massive balls at the start line 😂 as always full commitment from him…great composed reassured notes also 🤌🏼
