Our very ownn Mat Watson takes a high-speed ride in Mikko Hirvonen's WRC Citroen DS3 rally car. Sorry for the re-upload - but this one has subtitles so you can tell what Mat's saying!

That little kink at 1:50 is amazing. Little examples like that corner are, for me, why rally drivers are the best in the world to watch. Having watched them live on the ball bearing gravel of Rally Australia, rally is the best!

2:38 pooping himself ever so slightly hahaha.

The DS really was a beautiful rally car

It's so funny to see people panicking in the passanger seat, even Mat couldn't hide the terror on his face. Really made me laugh.

I think both Ford(with the Fiesta) & Citroen used the supermini's for a fresh look to the WRC, they both used hatchback's(Focus & C4 ) solidly from 2007-10 & in fact before that the Xsara & old Focus, so there was really only one size of car they could have changed too.& of course like everything it's a marketing exersice for all.

new rules came into force meaning smaller engines (1.6) and smaller cars had to be used rendering the evo, impreza, focus, xsara and c4 not suitable.

Great Chris Harris voice impersonation.

I wonder if I can find one of this in the fun fair?

This is his natural british accent. Check out some old videos and you'll see it.

I'm surprised they chose to use DS3 as the WRC car. I thought they would use a bigger car, like DS4 or something.

Lol a younger Matt Watson before carwow

Extra muffler fitted to the car. Must be sound regs in the area.

I bet one can't go that fast on that track with a supersport

[Markbabb]

Don't get me wrong they are great drivers but I think france had the best drivers look at loeb and ogier
