I would like to see him try this in a bog standard fiesta
I wonder how many cars got wrecked doing that? Still impresses me!

It's a bit 'Dukes of Hazzard'!
I have no doubt of his ability, and yes his videos do still impress me! But it must help having a specially built car fit for the purpose!

From what I can find it looks like the car is originally based on the M-tech WRC platform which is made by Malcom Wilson's Company In Cumbria.
But then it looks like its been heavily modded again.

Very Project Gotham Racing! Very staged and very nuts. Brilliant.
Love it! Staged, purpose built car? who cares?
it's great to watch which is much down to the filming and production as the actual driving.
some of the slo-mo bits really show how hard the car is working (or being worked).
ETA...
Just watched it again and love it. The sideways jump @ 5 mins is probably the highlight. I'm sure there must be some out take footage where it
goes wrong, but the overall package is great. Fantastic marketing for DC Shoes, Ford, Go Pro etc.

Great vid well produced and driven , just a shame he can't apply the same skills to driving his WRC car, or are the other drivers just better?
Oops He went up the windy road, You can only go down it.
We was in SF in April, you cant believe how steep the roads are until you walk up one.
