What a weekend of fun and enjoyment.
Baby Blue was back to her glorious best taking everything we could throw at her and filling the road every chance she got.
Lauren was in her element and getting her through Fanad in the dry with wet tyres on was another one off the bucket list.
What a stage!
We had a plan on Friday and it was working well until we clipped a rock on ss5 and had to stop to change the wheel so a good result was gone.
I’m not good at much but thankfully I’ve a short memory span so we just carried on with the plan to go flat out for every corner as long as we could.
The fact that we made the finish ramp intact is thanks to BB, Lauren and a lot of luck. It’s been a while since we’ve had so much “care free fun”.
We eventually fought back up to 8th national and 27th overall and to top it all Lauren won top female for the second year in a row.

Co driver is fantastic. She repeats everything so clearly. I'm Australian and understood all of it. Frank must be an absolute legend in his home country.
What a great team, Frank is such a talented driver and Lauren as in previous comments Is absolutely A1 . The car of course is the best there is and just proves the Escort is never dated. A complete joy to watch.
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Wow well done
Full send just how it should be ❤❤

This car…..I don’t think I could dream of owning anything better than a Frank Kelly clone! I would daily drive it every opportunity I had!
❤

Awesome just bloody Awesome you two 👌
Team Kelly by far the most spectacular and entertaining participants in the rally…well done 8th is some achievement +baby blue looking brilliant as usual…the drown footage was top notch very professional …
What a brilliant watch, Lauren you've nerves of steel, we drove Fanad stage on the Saturday, how yous can get the speeds you do is down to nothing but genius, the in car footage is brilliant 👏 😊
You can’t beat this 💪🥳🥰

Salut l équipe
C'est vraiment un plaisir de vous voir j'avais la même seulement 8 soupapes 💪💪👍👍🤩🤩
Frank Kelly I came all the way from San Francisco to see u and ur daughter donegal rally baby blue . It was well worth it . U signed autograph. For me . I was in teers . . Ur the real legend . Don’t let the mark 2 die . Best rally car in the world
You guys are Awesome !!!!!!
Thirty+ years after they stopped production I never thought we'd be watching MK2 Escorts in Donegal 😂
A great video and nostalgia trip - thanks for sharing
Edit, I just realized it's FORTY plus years. Talk about feeling old😮
Oh boy, this is so cool and heartwarming. There's a part of my life growing where rallying seemed just so unobtainable, like an alien lifestyle only accessible to the unfathomably rich elite teams backed up by huge corporations. Some 20/30y later you find this channel and the likes of this VLOG and you somehow feel all your passion reflected back but actually these people REALLY KNOW what they are doing. Irish charm is completely winning for me, btw :)
PS: it's so cool to see the inserts of clips from other channels. The community around rallying is truly awesome. Here I am just being able to pick up a PS4 controller and experience WRC videogames but I'm here living vicariously through all of you :)
Is it me or the co-driver sometimes has a few little laughs whilst still calling out the notes? is it even possible to have so much fun AND be professional at the same time? :) Not on my job, unfortunately... ahah
Congratulations Lauren on your award. Frank thanks for the fantastic onboard images. Truly one of the most beautiful Rallys out there. Greetings from the Netherlands Akko
Great team work and it’s amazing how quick and competitive the Escort still is,and I go back to the Era
Many congratulations
X pat Kiwi 🥝

Fantastic you 2 great to see baby blue back 😎👌🏁
Brilliant production on this, superb watch😎👌 in car footage is all kinds of epic 🔥🔥
Lauren is soo calm and collected on the notes. Shes 1 of the best ive ever seen.
Great result, great video and great to see the confidence back at top level.
Absolutely sensational teamwork, big Hi from New Zealand. We love you guys. ❤❤❤
8th on The Donegall against all the WRC cars is Amazing Fantastic Team
top team
That puncture really set you back lads, Lauren I love how you call them pace notes , so easy to follow . A pleasure to follow yee both ,always on the look out for a new video
Simply sideways
🥰
@@kiltillynothing like it
Well done to both of you, what a come back! I love following your channel and especially love Baby Blue and the dedication you both put in to getting her across the line. Well done Lauren a much deserved award.
Ciao hello to all awesome ❤
Brap brap, she goes well, any chance of a digital speedometer in view of the camera or added on screen for the videos to give an idea as to how fast your actually going? Great result, congratulations on your award Lauren!
Ya. That's a Great idea. In mph and km for me
Brilliant job! Pity about the stone, but otherwise top Class in the conditions. Thanks for the entertainment Lauren and Frank!
Well done team Kelly, top marks to the editor.
I was at the Kilkenny rally today and baby blue was by far the loudest car that passed, I love mark II and baby blue is my favourite one
🤩👍
Wasnt she bent not long back ? Impressive nonetheless good job and good luck for the future !
Great video unbelievable recovery drive from the both of you! Congrats on your award Lauren yous are welcome back next year anyway😂
I am From SA, the doner country of most Mk2 Escorts Witch make me sad, nothing left for us to rebuild, as i am a Mk1 two door owner With 1600 BDA, is this the Rebuild Baby Blue, just saw One Video after the crash, and nothing more, whe are in the Darkside of SA, love youre racing, Beut of a Escort.
You know what? Frank's the same age as me....oldish... I keep waiting for him to get a prescription windshield....take bathroom breaks....or something age related.... But nothing. If anything... he's FASTER.
Are you doing the wexford rally in september ??
Unlikely I’m afraid
@@FrankKellyRallying 😭
More drone footage please
Excuse the language Frank Kelly ur right . Baby blue is not a regular rally car …. It’s a f.n ……..fn beast
Well, I understood a little bit of it.
Had to pause the video to type, how the hell does Lauren sit there cool as a cucumber reading the pace notes 🤢 Awsome pair Respect ❤
Some pilot +navigator 💯👍
What’s the alarm for when you pulled over ?
That’s the onboard tracker we use here in Ireland. When we stop on the stage we press ok to let them know back at base it’s not a bad accident and we are ok and the stage is clear.
@@FrankKellyRallying the more you know. Thanks for the info
I hope oil never runs dry as you will never replace the spectacle of a MkII on full chat. I will stop watching rallying when it's electric cars.
Great video, great editing 👍 👌
FORD ESCORT WIN OR LOSE
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😎😎😎
Is this the rebuilt escort?
Quick turn around, on crash ?...
I'm not sure Lauren really enjoys it.
I have autograph and photos . Ford Steve McQueen’s. Bullet car she was missing for 45 years . Beat the fuck up it sold for 3.2 million dollars . . Eleanor. 67 fast back big money . . I think baby blue will make 1 million soon . Class car
Please sort your exhaust out!! not a hater , big fan but the exhaust on this thing sounds bloody awful!
No music please! Like to hear that motor!!
