@@rotracing5744 Nah, it's more like left foot slams the pedal to the floor and brakes bite on full. Typical for people who normally use their left for the clutch, which is pushed until disengagement (bitta resistance too, especially on a race clutch) so the muscle memory says "fucking mash it into the ground". Then once the car starts going bonkers they try to disengage the clutch, as one does when coming to a stop, but their left foot is still on the brake so it really brakes hard and punts you through the windshield.
2:05 Sawing on the steering wheel left and right, delicately managing the accelerator and brake pedals, absolute chaos through the windshield ahead and the whole time this guy sounds like he could be smoking a cigar and reading a stock ticker. How that woman in the passenger seat maintained her composure I'll never know. What a masterful job of piloting an automobile. I have nothing but respect for rally car drivers.
+peculiarmadman To be fair, Penny Mallory is a pretty decent rally driver herself, so she'll have had plenty of understanding (and trust) for what Colin is doing. Still can't help but be impressed at how easy he makes it look though.
Knowledgeable and I agree with you. She makes the video far more enjoyable because shes asking informative questions in the middle of the whole thing. I certainly wouldn't be able to come up with some of those questions.
evs251; it’s hard to imagine just how good the Finns are at rally driving, but if you understand how they train and develop rally drivers as a sport it’s just amazing. Colin was following in his fathers footsteps and was spectacularly successful even if he wasn’t from Finland . When I was much younger my rally driving ‘god’ was Hannu Mikkola and later Henri Toivonen before he passed and all the rules changed...
True but it's those last few % of pace that separates Colin,Tommi,Juha,Loeb,Carlos ect. from even very good rally drivers.She may be experienced,but am sure the pace the that Nicky Grist has seen sitting in her seat when Colin is in all or nothing mode would blow her mind.
I don't even know how many times I've watched this video, and I still don't find it boring. Repeatedly watching this just makes me have more respect to this man. Learned a lot.
Continually watching this guy is why I don’t drive fast on the street. I’ll take my slow times at the track, but watching a true professional always make me realize my driving capabilities.
as i read your comment i was like " what? he DIED?"!!! then i found out why and it's so damn stupid that he died crashing a thing that you're less likely to die in than while bolting through the woods on rough terrain that could send you flying straight into the nearest tree. shame :(
@@StillOnMars That's Penny Mallory, a very accomplished rally driver herself. It's one thing to get a compliment from a layperson, but to get one from a fellow professional different entirely. He took it as a genuine compliment from someone who actually knows what they're talking about, but nice of you to bring it down to the middle school locker room level.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that sometimes you could see the car was going sideways through the drivers' side window or the fact the interviewers head is bouncing all over the place, you'd think Colin was on a chilled Sunday afternoon drive through the country. Literally, no effort required. A true legend. So natural, so missed! :(
Watching this colin McRae clip and then next video up ayrton senna's heel and toe clip...man two legends that left us way too soon and were real master at the wheel...
Absolutely flogging the road with that car, all the while chatting like he's on his way to Walmart. Total calm, total control. "When in doubt, flat out." Rest in peace, Colin. You were a beast and you are missed.
He was clutchless shifting the entire time when he was doing the left foot braking. Like I'm sure the car is probably setup to make this somewhat easier but it still requires skill to do for sure, and he was doing it all while having a conversation and explaining left foot braking. What a legend
His car has what's known as a "sequential gearbox". Doesn't need a clutch other than for taking off in 1st gear. Dude has mad talent and I'm not down playing his driving skills one bit, but the shifting is nothin special.
@@pstrollchannel So I know what sequential gearboxes are but I assumed you still needed a clutch for all gears, but you're correct it's just needed for first gear. Interesting! Still he was a very skilled driver
@@ajburdett882 I kind of figured you did but I just wanted to share the info in case anyone else reading didn't know. But yeah it's pretty much the same as paddle shifters, neat stuff!
Dont need a clutch to change gear , did it once, preston to stoke on A roads, hardest part was not stopping at red lights.. Get the revs right and in it goes.. Oh I used to privateer on the rac rally late 90s. 3 times..
Penny Mallory, a rally driver in her own right. I worked with her maaaaany years ago in the 90's at the old TVS studios. At the time I had a Series McRae Impreza Turbo and a producer who was with her said: Amazing car. As she walked past ;)
You gottta love this guy. Dirt rally brings me here. I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how exactly to start and control slides with the brake. he makes it look so easy!
***** Some of us are just plain masochistic I guess. What I like about dirt rally is when you get better at the game it's because you've actually learned something about driving. Dirt Rally doesn't lie to you, and say that if you haven't mastered the basics in a slower car that you will be anything but hopelessly out of control in an 800hp quarto.
Not really considering Dirt rally is a pretty unrealistic arcade. When you get better at it's because you adapted to the shit unrealistic physics trhat it has. It very much lies to you, if you think it doesnt, you never drove a real car then.
Great driver and great interviewer, fully understands what he’s on about and she is thoroughly enjoying it. I bet Colin was one of those guys who would be fast in anything or on anything.
RIP MY BOY. STILL MISS HEARING YOUR NAME AT THE RALLY EVENTS. "SOME OF THE GREATEST NEVER USED THEIR LEFT TO BRAKE" .... YOU WERE THE GREATEST SO IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT THE REST DID ♥️
He mastered insanely perfect the game between his left foot and the brake pedal . Such a Big Lost , One of the Greatest . R.I.P Colin McRae 1968 -_- 2007
Them: "But some of the greatest drivers of the world never left the break" Me: But some of the greatest drivers of the world never had a game series named after them!
Of all the different types of car racing out there, you would have to say the top rally car drivers are probably the most skilful of them all due to the demanding driving techniques required to drive flat out on dirt roads. Respect!
Superb driving, way beyond a normal mortal, whilst casually chatting away. And I could listen to that Focus all day, chirping away. I'm sure Colin would be delighted to know people are still enjoying him and his skills to this day.
@MusicMadMaurice i'm very unreligious, but i can see why people would be religious and understand them. When was the last time you were so pretty about random person using an every day phrases, such as "OMG" and many other, do you give that much crap to it? Did you seriously had to give that much crap to this moderately funny joke, that ain't even much religious? Since Jesus Christ is almost a media person. Get over your stuff and bring kindness to the world
R.I.P a legend. Nowadays we have dirt rally 2.0. When I was young I had Colin McRae rally 3 forma PS 2... It was better then dirt ... Obviously noto forma graphic or simulation. But for the animations of the pilot and co durung alla tracks.... It was absolutly perfect and I could saw the passion used to programma the game... Anyway he was and he will stay for ever in the legend... Died in an helicopter accident with his son.... What a tragedy
This made me sad to watch i remember I was just a kid when he died, I used to play Colin McRae rally 3 on my dads original Xbox religiously after school. Good days.
I can remember watching Alain Oreille driving a Renault 5 Turbo and there was a camera under the seat, it was live watching Riverdance on speed, fantastic footage.
How talented was Colin McRae that he was doing a fucking interview while driving a car that at the time was still new to him while going balls out. Fucking unreal.
The amount of times I've seen rally drivers do stuff that I go "But that's impossible, it doesn't make any sense to me... How the hell do they do that?" And here's McRae answering "Quite easily, my boy, it's no big deal". I'll never get over how crazy good some of these drivers are, this is superhuman.
Penny Mallory showing her knowledge asking the best questions! I've always liked her..... She knew that car very well, as she drove it in the WRC world championship as the first woman in the world to use a full spec WRC car to compete in the championship (for M-Sport the works Ford rally team, with Colin as a teammate). Also she was a precision stunt driver! What a brilliant class from one of the all time greats...loved your dad, loved you! RIP Colin.
I miss these rally cars and definitely miss the man himself 🙂🙂🙂 if in doubt flat out RIP Colin McRae well and truly missed by rally fans all around the world 🌍🌍🌍
Regularly deliver to his house where his lovely wife Alison still lives and was just there last week and spotted a garage door up and numerous cars under covers. What any rally fan and Colin fan wouldn't give for a peek under those car covers. So wanted to strike up a conversation about them but it wouldn't be professional of me.
If you can do it in a not so awkward way I'm sure it would brighten up her day to know someone loved her husband and has passion for what he did, and that would extend to his cars.
>>Who said anything about "need"? Professionals. You MUST brake with right foot in real car. If you drive manual, you move your left foot to clutch pedal only when you need to shift, all the other time it should be in the rest zone. If you drive automatic, your left foot should ALWAYS be in the rest zone, and you press both pedals with your right foot. This is the only right and the safest position for everyday driving. Reason - if extreme situation appears, the rest zone helps you keep your body steady. In a racing car you don't need it because seat belts are strong enough to hold your body absolutely moveless, but in a passenger car it isn't, so using the rest zone is necessary.
Learning rally is like learning snowboarding, no pain, no gain. These guys have slid off the road more times than most people will ever experience in a lifetime of driving. Just as a snowboarder will fall and tumble. The thrill of not wrecking or tumbling is what drives you to get better.
He was one of the world's GREATEST!!! & HIGHLY admired rally drivers ever to drive those DANGEROUS!!! terrains all over the world. Even now I'm sure other drivers & champions will learn & have had great admiration for him. R.I.P Colin
+ewesey Yes true but the gears are turning at a different speed from the engine. And the car needs matching speeds on both in order perform a smooth gear change. At those speeds it is impossible to rev match.
+velizar vasev Because these vehicles use sequential gearboxes that often have an ignition cut built into them the clutch never needs to be used in upshifting apart from starting in first gear. When downshifting the dog clutches in the gearbox require a quick blip of the throttle in order to release and mesh with the new gear. You'll notice that he blips the throttle when changing down.
It's a dogbox, like a bike. No need for the clutch in between gears, though you'll need to blip the throttle when downshifting, like Sam Russel explained.
lol same as my sister. first time i discover she use left foot for braking, im mad as fuck and told her to use right foot to brake. but after 1 year, i dont care anymore. she's good with it lul
bro, he's having a flipping sunday dinner conversation sliding around like its nothing, rally drivers never cease to amaze me

You probably didn't break in a straight line - a really important rule in any kind of racing
Tried it once too and whatever was in the back ended up in the front haha
@@rotracing5744
Nah, it's more like left foot slams the pedal to the floor and brakes bite on full.
Typical for people who normally use their left for the clutch, which is pushed until disengagement (bitta resistance too, especially on a race clutch) so the muscle memory says "fucking mash it into the ground".
Then once the car starts going bonkers they try to disengage the clutch, as one does when coming to a stop, but their left foot is still on the brake so it really brakes hard and punts you through the windshield.

Sami YOU ARE BREAKING THE CAR
I left foot brake 100% of the time in racing sims, but I can't get the hang of it in an actual car.
Actually you don't need left foot braking even when driving a racing track which is not an offroad. Left foot braking is necessary only in rallying.
klogg4 I might be wrong but what about with front wheel drives
Who said anything about "need"? I prefer it, especially on cars that don't have a traditional manual.
>>Who said anything about "need"?
Professionals. You MUST brake with right foot in real car. If you drive manual, you move your left foot to clutch pedal only when you need to shift, all the other time it should be in the rest zone.

21 f-1 drivers disliked it
what an idiot. lots of f1 drivers have been successful in rally
@@nanderlizernanderlizer684 like who? Raikkonen?
1:00 - Ironic about Tommi Makinen.:))
He was one of the world's GREATEST!!! & HIGHLY admired rally drivers ever to drive those DANGEROUS!!! terrains all over the world. Even now I'm sure other drivers & champions will learn & have had great admiration for him. R.I.P Colin
Drifting one handed to point with his right to explain something is such a flex, what a lad.
why isn't he using the clutch to shift
+velizar vasev also what i was thinking? maybe he's just that good at matching revs? something that is possible
+ewesey Yes true but the gears are turning at a different speed from the engine. And the car needs matching speeds on both in order perform a smooth gear change. At those speeds it is impossible to rev match.
+velizar vasev Because these vehicles use sequential gearboxes that often have an ignition cut built into them the clutch never needs to be used in upshifting apart from starting in first gear. When downshifting the dog clutches in the gearbox require a quick blip of the throttle in order to release and mesh with the new gear. You'll notice that he blips the throttle when changing down.
+ewesey its sequential
It's a dogbox, like a bike. No need for the clutch in between gears, though you'll need to blip the throttle when downshifting, like Sam Russel explained.
I always brake with my left foot
+scr34m1ng do you drive an automatic?
ewesey yep
lol same as my sister. first time i discover she use left foot for braking, im mad as fuck and told her to use right foot to brake. but after 1 year, i dont care anymore. she's good with it lul
Aslong as she's only planning on driving automatics that's fine, otherwise it's a terrible thing to get used too as an everyday driver.
+zoey margera I'm surprised she got her license
