Motorsport Ireland and Clare Motor Club extend their heartfelt sympathy to Simon’s family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this very sad time.
Absolute masterclass in how to drive an Escort! Simon, if you'd driven a works WRC car, you'd have been Champion more times than Sain.z, Loeb and the best of the rest. R.I.P & keep it sideways on Heaven 's stages. And, there's NO sight or sound better than an Escort at full chat!
I'm going to put perspective on this ...I'm 31 (1985) never driven one ...been told about the fun ...now I can't even buy a house never mind this cheaper ish bag of fun

I'm so glad I can watch this on TH-cam after all these years . What a driver / what a proper car👌👌
i've watched a few videos starring this guy and in my opinion, he's possibly the fastest tarmac driver i've ever seen - awesome and fearless!
Simon was a master of the wheel RIP simon the world has lost a true driver at his best
Breathtaking. Could watch it all day. RIP

R.I.p Simon McKinley
Maniac Filmz wait he died? NO!!!!
yes :(
But but... he's so talented, so quick should have gone to WRC and thought Loeb a lesson.
MrCrashandFootball I bet he didnt want to drive those girly man cars they call WRC cars.
He's been racing for a while now. I think he should have gone a long time ago.
Awesome!
What a driver pure fearless
Was one hell of a driver in one hell of an Escort, and using a normal gear shift to boot
Is there a full version of this?
Quick fella allday✌️
