    The Riponian rally was won by a surprise late entry of Matt Edwards current BRC Champion, who took over the number 7 slot of his backer Pete Smith but the car used was M Sport's development R5 Fiesta and he was testing several new parts. He finished 30 seconds ahead of the Proton although Mellors in the Iriz won the first two stages. Just to show how quick the top 2 were going they were well over a minute ahead of Charlie Payne in a Fiesta WRC!
    Took me by surprise, I thought Pete Smith must have had his Weetabix that morning as he was pushing on!

    I've thrown together some clips I took at the Riponian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gusF7W652Z4 Includes Edwards development Fiesta R5 from 0:25 onwards and the Proton Iriz R5 @1:13.

    I saw the entry by Swift and thought there must be a connection. Nice to see Matt Edwards is getting some more miles and also the test of new Fiesta parts.

    VW Motorsport in Hannover plans to build 3 cars per month, 30 per year. At the end of January they finished building cars from 2018 slot. They say R5 building not a priority plus some delays from suppliers is the reason of such schedule.
