The driver Matthew Wilson is the son of Malcolm Wilson, who was one of Britain's top International drivers in the 80s and now runs the Ford Works rally team "M-Sport" from its base in Cumbria.
Matthew is a huge talent, and even though he's not yet 18 is heavily tipped as a future World Champ. A chip off the old block for sure! I wish him and his co-driver a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing them back out competing again asap.

The 18-year-old Cumbrian driver faces six weeks in hospital after breaking and dislocating his right wrist, breaking his left forearm and shattering his right kneecap. His wrist has already been operated on in Wales. A kneecap operation will be performed when the risk of infection has diminished. His co-driver Scott Martin has broken both legs. ............
