NASCAR Fan Reacts to Wildest Onboard Moments - Rally

[@tapio7133]

Not a horse, it was a moose.

[@zzpazi]

I could be wrong, but sounded Finnish to me.

[@UnexplainedHoveringSpheroid]

@@zzpazi The way the moose shouted "perkele!" was a dead giveaway.

[@magnusjohanson4466]

It was Harri Rovanpäre( WC Kalle Rovanpäres father) in the Swedish rally early 90ths

[@zzpazi]

Thought I heard "ui vitt" (oh fuc), he neved did finish the word tho, probably too busy steering.

[@leiflillandt1488]

@@magnusjohanson4466 Are you quite sure it was Harri R? I think it was another Finn whose name I almost have on my tongue, but have there been two similar occasions with mooses (in the history)?

[@caseymiller3540]

The rally at night reminds me of growing up driving wild in the Appalachian Mountains. Lots of wooded and basically deserted back roads at night where we drove like maniacs in cars, trucks, atv’s, dirt bikes, etc. Even mixed terrain with dirt, asphalt, and gravel, and snow. I’ve always thought that the Appalachian region would benefit from a proper rally event. There are miles of old mining roads, logging roads, and dynamic asphalt areas. Not to mention the network of ORV trails.

[@cadifan]

That horse was wearing a moose suit, 😂
That forest road at night, nah! I'm gonna look for the long way 'round!

3:16 Rally del Rubinetto, the tightest point of the italian rally championship

[@obijon7441]

Night time stages are just insane. I remember seeing some onboard footage of Colin McRae driving at night in the fog, the visibility was so bad that he switched the headlights off and drove the rest of the stage just on Nicky Grist's pace notes alone!!! I've been trying for years to find the footage again but alas to no avail.

[@Wichyn1]

If you tell me any other driver did I would tell you it's a complete lie but the moment you said Colin McRae I know it's possible, haven't seen that footage but surely he did something like that

[@clivewilliams3661]

British Road Rallying is carried out at overnight from around midnight until dawn on a Sunday morning. It is considered much safer to compete at this time as there is less, if any, traffic on the lanes and perversely you can see more from other cars with their headlights. Also, I find that competing behind headlights and spotlights focuses your vision on the road and you are not taking in extra superfluous information as you do in daylight. A good navigator will be calling the bends and I find I am quicker then than driving the same road in daylight.
On one event that I was concerned with the time car came into the control that I was at and I asked how the event was going given that it was a clear dry night rather than the Rally's reputation for cold, damp and foggy. I was told that the timing crew on the previous section had had to screw the watches to 80mph average and even then the top crews were cleaning it! And that is on even twistier roads than shown here.
Back in the 70's and 80's British Road Rallying fell into two camps - navigational plot and bash and pre-plot, the latter being essentially road racing. Unfortunately, like Group B Pre-plot road rallying was getting out of hand and the authorities decided to curb the speeds in a very draconian way. One of the best road rally drivers was Gwndaff Evans, father of Elfin, who went on to international acclaim in stage rallying. Road Rallying was the learning ground for many of the very best international navigators, for which Britain has an enviable reputation.

[@nujetzaberhier]

Watch Walter Röhrl in Arganil. 😉

[@nirfz]

Most Rallye drivers have great memory, and they wouldn't do that on a Stage they don't know. I have seen one (i don't remember who it was) in the 90's in a Seat WRC who drove the majority of a stage with his hood covering the windscreen. He didn't see a thing and neither did the codriver. Things like that occasionally happened in Rallye trhoughout it's history, and most drivers were able to not loose "all the time in the world". The only one who won a stage in such circumstances (not seeing anything) was Walter Röhl in Arganil. (Diference being everyone couldn't see shit in this stage so conditions were equal to everyone ;-) )
In the thick fog of the 44km night special stage at Arganil he was 4 *minutes* and 50 *seconds* faster then his teammate and fellow driving genius Marku Alen!

[@clivewilliams3661]

@@nirfz Current stage rally crews practice to create pace notes and as Rohrl said, he practiced the Arganil stage more than his contemporaries and this was to make the pace notes as accurate as possible. On the event his navigator would be calling those notes mostly blind i.e. he wasn't looking at the road, relying on the feel of the car to confirm where he was in the pace notes along with possibly the Halda. You will note that navigators sit much lower than the driver so that visibility forward is compromised in any case. Stages are often so long that to remember all the bends and features is basically impossible. The ability of the navigators to give accurate pace notes is what makes them so vital a member of the car crew..Rohrl's time on Arganil was a testament to his faith in the notes.
Having competed in Road Rallies the worst thing is knowing, or think that you know the route, you will be slower. Trusting in your navigator's calling of the bends will ultimately be quicker.
Having the hood obscure your vision is clearly a problem but driving in fog is similar and the crew can do the route blind, driving by feel. Our club used to run the Falls Road Rally in November and it was plagued most years with fog and that didn't affect the times as much as you think. On a Road Rally, practice is not allowed and marked maps will disqualify you so the only source of instructions are 1:50000 Ordnance Survey maps.

[@Henkiixx]

Excited for the Swedish Rally again this year! 5 feet of snow banks, 3-4 hours of sunlight other than that it's pitch black and these drivers go almost 200 km/h (120 and change mp/h) through the fastest parts of the stages. Couldn't recommend watching it enough

[@ColdCassidy]

6:20 you can see in the lower right corner that the guy was blasting 175kmh or 108mph trough that forest, crazyy

[@andystone6777]

1:49 no horse, looks more like an Elk to me. Musta been in Sweden, Norway or maybe Denmark ! 🙂
3:52 definately Italy !

[@nirfz]

During the 80's (group B time) the first "WRC" event in the calender included a night stage crossing a mountain in the frenche alps. Often times it had snow, in some corners black ice, numerous people with old cameras and flashes while taking pictures, and the spectators grilling sausages and steaks next to the road making a lot of smoke.... Sometimes they even threw snowballs at the road or at the cars "to increase the challenge" (having snow on formerly dry parts of the stage)
The stage had the nickname "night of the long knives". (it often thinned out the field)

We used to marshall local club rallies at night through country lanes. Being we had to get to 3 marshalling points each night we were going hell for leather to got to the next point, we never had a smash in the stages, but coming home one morning we hit a diesel spill and lost the car on a bend only doing around 30mph,spin, crash, bash, into a light pole - Ironic we'd been belting around all night and wipped out driving home.

That's during a timed stage.
Timed stages are closed off.
Either someone went around the barriers and went unnoticed by the stewards or it's a resident who forgot/didn't care that there was a rally going on and drove out of his driveway without being cleared.
Rally cars do drive in public traffic between stages, but they'd be at a much calmer pace.

still gotta recommend ken block rally vids or his gymkhana vids with hoonigan. he works with subaru through ford as his sponsors back then.

[@clivewilliams3661]

Some years ago I was chief marshal on a local road rally in UK. On one section one of the leading Escorts dropped a wheel onto the wet grass verge that pulled him fully onto it and he careered on and through a 18" thick solid brick buttress to a barn. The buttress had a cartoon like missing profile of the car, such was the impact at a likely 90+mph speed. The front headlight was buried behind the dashboard and the whole suspension leg was in the driver's footwell. The driver only sustained a broken ankle and the navigator walked away, shaken but not stirred. Just goes to show the strength of a rally car and bearing in mind that the car was a road rally car that was technically only competing on a navigational event and was prepared to a lesser standard than a stage rally car as in these video clips.

[@rasmuswi]

The Swedish Rally isn't the only winter rally, but winter rally footage is likely to be from the Swedish winter rally. And Sweden has some 100-400 000 moose, so its likely that it was a moose, not a horse.

[@adamcichon6957]

I saw it was a moose, even without stopping the video, it had very long legs and quite short stompy neck in comparison to the average horse. And in counties, where those winter rallys are being organised (Sweden, Finland), mooses are running along the country roads every day, but especially in the winter (it's less exhaustive for them, instead walking through the forest).

[@littlerage4u799]

If you are wondering why the streets are so narrow and makes no sense at 3:20 ... Keep in mind, that city was built long before cars or any sort of logistical thinking was a thing. You would walk those streets and maybe at some point pull a wagon behind a horse to transport something.

[@stevegraham3817]

I prefer the night rallying, did you notice the 180kmh speeds in the lower right corner.
Well, I prefer night rallying until there is a missed call, on one we missed a kick at 180kmh, slid left to right for a few hundred metres and caught it enough to slam the brakes and slide up the centre of the track. The other time was not so lucky, come down the hill at 190kmh and as the lights lit up everything as we rose out of the dip there was a line of trees on a 90deg corner. We probably hit the trees at around 120kmh and completely tore the side of the car out, the front wheel crumpled the whole drivers front corner around my feet, luckily the floor crumpled up and back rather than concertinaing completely over the top of my feet.
Even after that, I would still rather go flat out at night. lol
