Matthew Vacy-Lyle

Matthew Vacy-Lyle is a South African rally driver who has recently competed in the South African National Rally Championship. He is co-driven by fellow South African Schalk van Heerden.

His brother Simon Vacy-Lyle is also an accomplished racer, but rather as a co-driver.

In 2015 Vacy-Lyle flipped his car during the Cullinan Rally. While negotiating a very fast section in 5th gear the pair hit a jump in excess of 150 km/h. Their Fragram-sponsored Toyota Etios drifted a bit sideways in the air and when it landed one front corner dug into the softer earth on the side of the track sending the car into multiple rolls.
