Fantastic driving by a legend. This was the time when most car companies would "race on sunday, sell on monday". The Evo is a prime example of this. I wish we could still see these kinds of cars in the showroom.
@@michaelhorgan9525 yaris gr is great and i love toyota for having the passion to make it, but its not really anything to do with the rally car. they dont even share the wheelbase. nowhere near the same "race on sunday, sell on monday" as group a era stuff.
@@michaelhorgan9525The Yaris has as much to do with the WRC Yaris as a Camry has to a NASCAR Camry. Nothing, but some plastic parts to look like some car you can buy for under $500.000…
when rallying was still rallying, wrc spec was the apocalypse of the world rally championship. no road version means no interest in the competition version.
And vice-versa. When Group A was still the top, we had a selection of great 4WD sports cars on the market. Now you can't even buy the last samurai, the Impreza STI
@@Bruh-jr2ep The point the others are making is that thw wrc cars are based on actual road cars, yet the 4wd versions sport versions are not being sold, unlike group a.
Mikko F1 never had homologation, so it’s not an expectation to see cars available for the public. Rally and touring cars on the other hand had that as a feature of the sport when they were homologated.
@@StreetComp Subaru might be back in 2022 with a hybrid machine. New regulations are better suited for them as they can shrink a larger car to the current wrc machine size. Also they can use a tube frame instead of a production shell but teams can use either chassis for their creations.
How the car and Tommi regainst controll everytime he slides into a cruve its so beautiful, he sets the car up so perfect to hit the apex. That is just so good driving. Sadly i was born in 1998 so i had no idea what a rallying was at that time.
He had excellent skill and the car was especially built around him and his driving style. Sadly that contributed to Mitsubishi's downfall once Makinen left as the 01 lancer wrc which replaced the Evo 6 was not up to par and they had drivers that could not adapt to it.
That was absolutely AMAZING!!!! I love the Evo's and Tommi drove it as the engineers intended! What a fantastic ride he and the Evos had. Thank You for posting, this is my favorite rally video!!!
Have always been a GC8 STi fan, then I got an evo 3 at the age of 12 years old with my older sibling and his friend, im now in my early 30s and own an evo 7 GSR and still runs today as my daily 💪
@@iyot1020 well I believe the cars around these times had between 300-350 but probably gonna 1200hp to hold his balls in a light car because he can drive
I was only 1 when he was racing but now im 22 watching videos of him and Colin Mcrae and the way they control there car is amazing to me dont get me wrong modem day drivers are vary good and just amazing to but the cars there driving are pure race cars. Tommie and Colin They where driving cars manufacture had to make for the public so alot of money didnt go into development i wish the fia didnt change the rules the cars these manufacture could be putting out now would be crazy
This is the time where I watch formula 1, then on the next weekend WRC and couple of sbk and motogp. Where marlboro and red cars you can see being the champions.

hes the reason why evo is king

Evo has always been my favourite car, since I was about 4 playing racing games on my gameboy. It's a shame we don't see them being built anymore...
Toyota had the Yaris gr but not for North america.

Not true. Do we have road version of F1 cars?
NO

NO
What a great era for Finland in Motorsport. Hakkinen and Makinen both world champions
I just remembered, my first ever toy car is a lancer Tommi Makinen edition..
Me too.. I have 2 rc cars (different scale) and it was Tommi editions
Wow ur so lucky bro 🙂👍 is it a hot wheels?? I have been searching for a hot wheels Tommi Makinen Hot Wheels 🚗✌ lan evo
One of my early Tomicas was an Evo X :D
It looks shit now (because I ruined it XD) but I still have it to this day
I have Evo VII TOMMI Makinen Edition toy car. It has absolutely same body color and vinyls as in the video
Me too haha a red one evo VII
tommi was the reason i love lancer so much.. and lancer evo4 was the dream at that time..
tommi makkinen THE TURBO. he is the best all of time...
Rally, where Mitsubishi Evo's habitat to hunt their prey, Subaru.
Sad we’ve lost the Evo and great rivalry between Mits and Subie but least we can look back and enjoy :)
@@StreetComp Subaru might be back in 2022 with a hybrid machine. New regulations are better suited for them as they can shrink a larger car to the current wrc machine size. Also they can use a tube frame instead of a production shell but teams can use either chassis for their creations.
Thanks for the info - that’d be great to see and at least we’d have part of the rivalry back. Now if Mitsu can just get it’s act together
@@StreetComp Akio Toyoda said that he wanted Mitsubishi, Subaru and Mazda to join. That does not mean that all 3 will but it is a nice gesture.
Maybe once Mitsu sees Subaru back in it they’ll be motivated to try again :)
This is why I love Mitsubishi! Did you see the amazing response and stability is just breathless to see!

Yeah its great to watch. so much better than F1.
Amazing how flawlessly these pro rally drivers can drive at such high speeds.
Colin and Tommy best of the best forever!
Just bad ass in every sense of the word. Perfection!
If you listen at 1:05 you can hear the co-driver commencing the drive-by shooting
Tommi Makinen set record in Kenya those old years
Finland '99 Tommi Mäkinen The Master !!!!!
Камаз "мастер"
The commentary does the video even more interesting!
Have always been a GC8 STi fan, then I got an evo 3 at the age of 12 years old with my older sibling and his friend, im now in my early 30s and own an evo 7 GSR and still runs today as my daily 💪
Mitsubishi golden time
And this was how the whole world knows what an Lancer Evolution can perform.
Joginder Singh and Tommi Makinnen solidly placed Mitsubishi on top of the cream of rallying.
Tommi! Master. Mitibutshi evo 6 amazing. Thanks.
Recuerdo cuando Tommy vino a Chile como invitado del Rally mobil , fue un agrado y emoción verlo en persona , sin duda una verdadera leyenda
That's so utterly brilliant.
What a beast of a driver! Amazing skills!
Nice Comentary Tough, understanable and entertaining
this has been my favourite since gran turismo 3 and now it's in Dirt rally 2.0 and i been using it so many times
So sad that the Mitsubishi discontinued the Evo.
What's even worse is that they are probably bringing EVOs name back as an electric SUV
Hea Mees they better not
I'm not. All Evos starting from the 7 looked like shit especially the Evo X
ethics the evo x is the ugliest but i think 7-9 werent that horrible
Only liked the Evos until the 7th gen. 3rd Gen was my overall favorite.
I have the tommi Makinnen rally Rc car. It is absolutely beautiful.
Top car of ever Mitsubishi Lancer Evo Tommy Makinen edition
The guy has got massive balls
ikr im sure that evo has to have at least 800bhp to hall that much cajones lol
@@iyot1020 well I believe the cars around these times had between 300-350 but probably gonna 1200hp to hold his balls in a light car because he can drive
@@iyot1020 This car in particular has 305 hp, but 690 Nm Torque. So yeah a beast
Back when mitsubishi made iconic cars...
He did win champion 4 times 🤘😎🇫🇮
Nothing quite like the sound of a lancer approaching at full attack in a dark welsh forest.
Justin Johnson welsh?
Mitsubishi should reconsider about making a new evo
not enough budget, that's why they focusing on suv's
Better die a legend than live as crossover suv
late ass reply but they dont sell well enough to be viable anymore
Tommi, Mika, Kimi. The Fins have racing in their DNA
Hadn't seen this one before, thanks for posting!
that was like watching an artist at work, so sick
I was only 1 when he was racing but now im 22 watching videos of him and Colin Mcrae and the way they control there car is amazing to me dont get me wrong modem day drivers are vary good and just amazing to but the cars there driving are pure race cars.

This could be a instructor video... Perfect!
Absolute master
To jest niesamowite... Umiejętność władania maszyną...
Evo6 is legend
This is the time where I watch formula 1, then on the next weekend WRC and couple of sbk and motogp. Where marlboro and red cars you can see being the champions.
perkele
This right here, is probably why I will probably never sell my Evo
Thankyou soo much👍👍✨️✨️✨️
the way he sets the car up to be flung into the corners is unreal
i had the thumbnail image on my wall in a frame when i was a kid :)
The best stage that I saw a rally driver done
The greatest rally driver there was.
2:03 is ridiculous, holy crap.
The Mitsubishi car very perfect so as the driver
He is wild!!!!
I like how the commentator is fangirling so hard haha
Just like me at the mornings when im late from work :P
Absolutely a master
Weelldone ,mits Lancer power full
kind of a crappy, short video... except you can so clearly see the perfection in Makinen's lines, mind blowing, short stage performance, just wow
this video is from 1999 (15 years) record in home VHS (no digital recording) !! if you have better share with us...
well built driver, well built machine
Legendary
legend
What a dance!
that car is from gran turismo
amazing
Brilliant.
Master!
TOMMI!!!!!!
I wish I was born in this era
Master of power sliding
awesome!
If the subie is an eagle, the evo is a Falcon
Who's the commentator? He does a good job.
A rally car with 400hp on it
It was fast enough Tommi
The only rally car I would drive in GT3....
Rare footage
Did he get the 3 points ?
when mitsubishis were added in my summer car?
Legend 👍
I don't remember tv picture quality being so shit back in 99...or maybe it was?
Vhs recording 😂
Need EUROBEAT!
100 by Dave Rodgers.
Chidori723 good choice
I Agree
No Evo V??
When you drive like youre stole it 👍🏻
this commentator is so obvious...
