Glorious times when you don't need to have all 4 wheels in order to be allowed continue to Service Park.
Exactly
It would depend on the police and countries laws. Tommi Mäkinen wasn't allowed to return to service in Rally GB 98.
@@mramaz1ngarry728 You're right, but nowadays I think its a FIA regulation.
Ironically Loeb pulling stuff like this and still getting good results is what brought the change.
Better that f1 for all the right reasons
Police : Understandable have a nice day
Actually: understandable. Have a n…o, actually I think we can help!
Not like Wales😕
@@gothicpagan.666I'm sorry but we're going to need to give you a fixed penalty notice sir
they had commom sense, they are elite sportsman, not some drunk idiots
no its because its a french car, if they had been in an italian or japanese car they'd of told them off.
gotta support the homeland manufacturers
The codriver in his racing suit on the side of the road in gesturing like “what’s the matter?!” at the police officer after being stopped for hanging out the window of a racecar with an entire wheel missing 😂😂
ikr 🤣
This is hands down the best sport no other one like it
When you say it like that it sounds ridiculous.
... Because it is.
Exactly. I can't believe they would pull them over for that!
..No one wants to argue with two Frenchmen hanging out the window of their three wheeled car.
I don't know why french but this comment sounds funny 😂
trying to holla at me
As if the french are unaccustomed to cars with one wheel missing hahaha remember those crazy citroens with pump-up suspension, they could actually drive on three wheels without the fourth corner touching the tarmac
Löeb is the definition of "No Fucks Given"
Loeb loved The Donegal, he loved the MK2's, he wanted to return and do it in his or MK 1..
Like it should be, is a fundamental part of the pursuit of success.
Ever saw McRae? That’s the real definition.
@@alexdssilva I met him in Donegal in the 6R2.
French mind
This is why rally is the best sport. They can break their car, get pulled over on a highway, and still race the next day
F1 mechanics be like: the car got slightly damaged during quali and we didn't have the time to fix it for the next day so sorry you're starting last
Rally mechanics be like: yeah sure we can rebuild half of the car in 30 minutes mate, just go grab a coffee or something
@@superking-nicolaslucau7252
30 min
Tools, tape, hands *perfect*
@@superking-nicolaslucau7252yes because its designed to be fixed or replaced fast in rally not in f1
F1 is closer to racing in ideal conditions, while rally is all about adverse conditions. They're different types of racing, but both very fun to watch!
@@thatonewriter8043 F1 is great but Rally will be better they drive real car and the circuit are incredible and will not being stop because of some rain.
A Citroën driving on 3 wheels becomes a habit at this point
That's all they needed to beat anyone anyways 😁
Always be sure to have a buddy heavy enough in case of, when you drive a Citroën 😂
Loeb having a De Gaulle moment...
3½
@@UrianArt I think you’re not getting the joke
After winning that argument with the police, Daniel Elena should become a lawyer.
Saul Goodman
he should specialise in motorsports law lol
Yes officer, it passed road worthiness
I guarantee you it wasn't like that on my pre-trip inspection.
More like torture lol
This and "SAMIR, YOU ARE BREAKING THE CAR" are my two favorite moments ever in the history of motorsport. This one cracks me up because of him arguing with the police and earning them a whole ass escort. My man used all his skill points on speech and charisma
Only thing that's a shame about Samir breaking the car is - it's fake. It's a voiceover added after the fact, they're not actually saying that in the car. :(
“UP THE ASSHOLE OF TIMO” - #1 ☝️
You forget, rock up the a$$ of Timo.
No it isnt, the original video was 40 minutes long and the original poster cut it to just 1 minutes and 30 seconds@@DiViNiTY1337
you have shattered all my hopes and dreams with that one comment.
its still a funny video though.@@DiViNiTY1337
The cameraman chasing the wheel😭😂
Thats when I lost it. Burst into laughter lol
Rally drivers are a different breed. This style of racing will always be top tier
are there any modes where theres 2 cars racing each other? nonetheless i agree its really entertaining to watch , this is what i want to see from motorsports
Reminds me of watching McRae when i was a kid, the time where he rolled the car 7 times, realized the engine is running, steering is straight, so he took off back on the course and still almost won it, was off by 1.04 seconds 😂
legendddd
Facts that and so many other rally moments proved he was definitely legend,he was always one of the best💯
Was that the season that earned him the nickname Colin Mcrash and when the phrase "if in doubt, flat out" became popular?
i was dying when the wheel broke in half
To me, Loeb is the best “pound for pound” driver ever. I once saw him in a fun contest on what basically was a beer crate on wheels, and he destroyed the competition who all had been training hard on that vehicle.
Sebastian Loeb was my favourite driver back then...he was the king
Well he still is XD
He still went for 2nd on his last rally, with a 205 rally, against modern WRC 😂
Loeb was the Schumacher of rally driving very competitive and always winning. He will be greatly missed
For those who don’t know, rally cars are “street legal” and have to be driven between stages to service
Damn! 😂 it's an amazing sport.
Yet it was a common practice up untill early around 2010 that rally cars frequently travelled to service on 3 wheels, with co-driver on the side, or under the bonnet and that sort of thing. There were cases when they didn't even try counterbalance, just blasted to the service without a wheel 140kph on the clock, and arrived with floor and suspension parts glowing red from friction.
@@piotrmalewski8178lol i remember the first time I saw a codriver under the bonnet with the car moving i thought for a sec the driver hit a spectator and kept going 😅
thats what makes it so fuking cool lol
this is why rally drivers are the "legally insane" profession🤣
The camera work on the broken wheel when it finally falls off! 🤣👍
Bros hiking out like it’s a sailboat
Real racing at its finest! The moment I fell in love.
I think you'll find the most famous event in WRC history involved Marcus Gronholm at Rally Turkey in 2004.
or was it Gronholm's co driver?
@@Saturn185 Nah thats anal!
@@Saturn185 it was it Gronholm’s co-drivers ass?
Or, Colin McRae and Nicky Grist changing the wheel and beating the Subaru back into shape..
thank you for making me look this up, that fisting motion killed me
His face when talking to the police. I almost died.
Sebastien Loeb & Daniel Elena of Citroën Xsara , C4 & C3 were such Great WRC Championship Legends until this day! 🌷🌿🌍💜🕊🇫🇷
Thats why I want to race, thats my freaking attitude in life!!!! Love it!!!
Most famouse WRC was for me when McRae made that famouse roll in his Focus RS. Dude was mental and i loved him for that. What a legend and what a driver.
💯
That xsara had a design ahead of its time
“The local police had become interested.” 😂
Time flies. This was epic.
This guy understands "ridin it till the wheels fall off"
We have 3 tires.... the cops have 2... justice prevails 😅
Last time I drove with three wheels I got a court date 😢
I remember seen that live on live tv pretty epic for the co-driver lending his life to his driver to balance the car just to get back to the service station. Give credit where it counted for something
Loeb is and will remain the GOAT for a very long time. Nobody is better
Loeb was and still is a truly amazing Driver
Colin McRae doing a full remodel of the mk1 Focus, and still going strong on the stage. That was legendary.
McRae banging the bent suspension arm with a rock. Good old times.
Fun fact : In 2019 the DSS ( Driving Skills Scale ) was changed from "average to pro" to " average to Loeb ".
Since then only one driver managed to reach the "Loeb" level, and it was Sébastien Loeb himself.
Imagine getting pace notes from a codriver sitting on your door.
Loeb, the one and only.
Fantastic driver with an amazing line of championships, and this in a very competitive time in the WRC.
Absolutely amazing
It is absolutely incredible how tough these cars are
The greatest rally pilot with the greatest rally car 🇫🇷
The GOAT team
For me it will always be Makkinen smashing his Evo on the right rear, then Sainz's Corolla dying 100 meters from the finish line, that was a season ender for all time.
The way the Co driver is cussing at the police like "what the hell are we supposed to do other than that?!"
Brilliant haha
Sebastian and colin really did not care when driving their cars thats what made them legends
These videos like this are better than educational, greetings from the Philippines.
Citroën, designed to run on 3 wheels since 1955 (the DS)
Opened this short out of curiosity not at all expecting to recognise the clip but ended up remembering coming across it way back so now totally in agreement it may well be as famous as the caption proclaims it to be 😂👌🏾
No the most famous, just well known for it's time. Many, many occasions are legendary.
serious lewis hamilton british gp 2020 vibes🐐
Vamos Guanajuato!!! Man i really wish I could have flown into my Mexico to watch in person!
They was a really smart move, after it turned into a side cart motorcycle,
the passenger turned into a counter balance. :)
actual legends
This is exactly why I love rally
We can be proud of him 🇨🇵
Awesome. That's determination.
Carlos Sainz and the Corolla was the most famous history moment
¡Trata de arrancarlo, Carlos!
Heartbreaking.
The GOAT!
Not really...Neuville has the same record and is still in WRC.
@@alimantado373 bro what are you smoking. Loeb has 80 career wins and 9 WRC championships. Neuville has 0 championships and only 17 wins
Merci Citroën de l'avoir favoriser sur sa fin de carrière par rapport à Ogier surtout
@@alimantado373 WTF Neuville?? The only other driver who come close to Loëb is Ogier but Neuville is MILES behind Loëb
Something like this happened in Australia and the highway patrol just shook his head and said this is going nowhere lol
I still remember this one crash from the late 90s early 2000s. It was on a mountain side and the car almost went off a cliff but there just so happen to be a post sticking up about road height on the cliff. The car somehow perched up on that instead of failing down the cliff.
I had the pleasure of seeing this dude on Pikes Peak a couple times and he is just so so so so rad.
WRC is amazing!
Just like the old Citroens. Driving them on 3 wheels until you stop somewhere safe to change a tyre
I'm thirteen and lover rallying but never new about this and I was laughing my head off 😂😂
Now this is a Race! Love it, need more of it.
Most famous for me is Gilles Panizzi donut at Catalunya 2002
Ohhhhh that was absolutely badass!!! I saw that live on tv and went madness around the house hahahahha That guy just destroyed every asphalt stage on the calendar that year.
For me it would be that time when Loeb brushed past a cop at full speed who was in the middle of the road, only to explain later that he saw him and kept pushing anyway because he calculated that he had enough space 😂
He was the King of Asphalt.
They are a team of commitment.
Legendary
Daniel Elena is legend, explaining the officers, there's no problem whatsoever. So convincing. 😅😂
Remember watching this on EuroSport 😌 ✌🏻👴🏻
What a legend
A legend❤❤❤❤
Si lo recuerdo aquí en el Rally Guanajuato hermoso citroen sin duda un icono de este deporte
To me, this make this sport so beautiful❤
Unintentionally a great ad for citroen
Golden age of wrc❤
I saw that live,we where on holiday that time👌
Daniel ELENA and Seb LOEB are legends.
Seb LOEB once said that he trained his pilot's skills, when he was young, during police chases x)
When Elena was pleading their case Loeb be chillin’ in the background. ‘Ou est Le bar?’
what a legend Loeb was
Loeb is amazing and still kicking ass
Loeb was absolutely nuts and that's why he was the best.
Dang, that hang from the door was dope
Isn't there a video somewhere where Leob is in a 206 with a wheel missing in Wales and the police stop him?
Reminds of that scene from Herbie. Good times
McRae & Grist at Argentina 1998 fixing Subaru with rocks is awesome, too.
This Mexico clip shows why we'll not see the WRC back in the USA😢.
Olympus 1988 RIP.
If I remember correctly, McRae hit a rock while leading. After the stage, the tyre was stuck at an angle and they couldn't get it off, so they drove the car until the tyre burst. Then they took off the wheel, Grist kicked the suspension until a bent part came off and they smashed it with rocks until it straightened out. Then drove back, reached the next stage with less than a minute to spare and set the fastest time.
Legendary. Though probably one of McRae's less eventful rallies in 1998 given the season he had.
I remember that!
2000-th ware the best.
Respect to the co-driver who was hanging out of the window at highway speed with no helmet
shows the force involved when the wheel shears off
What the drivetrain on this baby?
"Three wheel drive"
French police probably helping their guy, the French world champ
Yeah that sounds like the dirty lowdown.
By the way, if anyone is looking at a temporary, reversible but secure solution to rebasing to 25s, you can stick your based mini to the top of a simple 25mm mdf square with Museum tack. It's like blu-tack/poster putty, but much stronger. It's used to keep things still and stable in Museum displays, but it's still removable and reusable.
Sebastian Loeb and Petter Solberg were THE legends in WRC... It was and always has been the rivalry between Citroen and Subaru...✨
They didn't show the part where they stopped at the McDonald's and the codriver had to plead for his preferred mcflurry flavour. It was a discontinued special but they made it for him anyway
The ice cream machine was broken, but he talked it into fixing itself.
Frenchmen eat at mcDonalds? The heressy?? Their ancestors will cursed them like only french could😂
I remember watching this on the TV in 2005.
He is the BEST
I WISH HE DRIVE F1 also
You know, if I was Elena, I’d have kept my helmet on. But then again, these lads are a different breed
That’s so badass
That image of the shaky camera and the rear wheel popping off is fucking hilarious
