When a friend from America visited me in Germany I also took him to a rally. He was just used to Nascar so when we went unto the forest he was like "this is a weird place to build a racetrack" assuming there would be an arena or something build in there. When the first car whizzed by at break neck speeds on the gravel road he was shocked, amazed and in love at the same time.
I used to date girl who was copilot/navigator (dont know english word). She breaks up with me, cause her balls were bigger then mine, apparently and I did not say a word because i seen her point.
- where is the racetrack
- There is no racetrack A whizzed car passing by at incredible speed
- OK
@@giratina_86 "Were a long way from Kansas boys!"
Geil !
True that is races on track are more popular in USA. But US Rally exists and is not a new thing.
Those are incredible rally clips.
I personally believe top rally drivers are the most skilled racers in the world. The risks they take down narrow roads is unbelievable.
Yeerr a car going 120-130 mhp ind a forrest road jumpping and roaring... hvat is love? if not 102 oktane powered rockets? And the mad lads who pilots it🚀
I would argue the isle of man tt
@@seldom_bucket I wouldn't compare Isle Of Man TT to Rallying. Isle Of Man TT is crazy and the riders are nuts.. But I think both are just too different from each other. But that's my opinion on the matter :D. In the end Rally drivers and in general Road Racers who go across the world and do TT touring are fucking nuts :D
most of them will die in their 100's from the amount of adrenaline in their bodies
@@seldom_bucketA MotoGP rider would smash a TT rider if they competed in the TT (which they used to do BTW as it was part of the GP circuit. They just don't nowadays as they don't need to). A TT rider wouldn't stand a chance against a MotoGP rider on a circuit though and that is why they ride in the TT. Rally Drivers are different. They have to be able to drive on so many different surfaces and have the ability to mentally switch mentally on the fly.
I've never seen you more animated...I do believe you've become a rally fan!
Flying WRC rally cars are usually happen when the pilots pushing pedals to the limit, full throttle all the way : Flat Out ! only inches from the crowds, cars animals or objects..
This guy is brilliant!!! I don't normally go for reaction videos but this is hilarious!!!
@@geromelegnome5446 I think it helps that he's a "car guy" ("petrolhead"?). This is the first reaction video for rally that I've seen where someone recognizes there's 4WD going on. Greetings from an old US co-driver! Yeah, we do it here, but it's nowhere near as big. "They always crash it on *my* side!" -worldwide co-drivers' lament.
Welcome to the world outside of race cars turning left for 3 hours .
A few rally drivers tried the world of turning left for three hours and failed miserably lmao
@@joshpauley289I wonder how many NASCAR drivers have tried their hands at rally driving 🤔
@@joshpauley289probably got bored and went home 😂
Group B was insane.
I remember watching them in the 80’s and still never seen anything come close👌
Good news for u Lancia is coming coming back for now to wrc2 but maiby to main class wrc they start building theyr car for rally2 this year and its coming back for year 2027
Unless you include 2 wheels then TT riders come out on top for big balls
@@TubeYou1800Yeah I’m going TT again this year👊
Fans were even more insane,, amassing on the outside of corners and crowding the racing line.
Man group B was saveable. First put spectators far away behind a barrier and still allow as much power as they want but allow a bit more weight to make cars safer.
Hey Ian, if you think the drivers are super human, you should check out the mechanics going to work during a service stop, especially if it requires repairs. Super impressive work from the teams.
Citroen mechanics got famous on Argentina... Kris meek gave them a hard time :)
Right now, WRC is limited to 380 horsepower at 6000 rpm. So they are tuned not for maximum horsepower, but to have a massive torque band with huge torque. This is a relic of the bad old days in Gruppe B, where their horsepower was relatively unlimited (rumors of 1000hp plus, but commonly 6-700 hp). Ironically, these limited horsepower cars are faster than the Gruppe B's ever were over the same courses because of advancements of suspension, brakes, traction, tires, etc. I LOVE rally. Did a rally driving course in Germany and Finland in the early 90's.
I'd be more interested in nascar if they actually returned to using stock cars rather than tube racers. No limits on horsepower, but put in a fuel mileage requirement. Then you'd see innovation. Kind of like these WRC cars. When WRC was first formed, they were limited to 300 hp, but very quickly learned to optimize that power delivery & the rest of the car to make them faster than the Gruppe B ever were.
This! Rally in general is violently insane
@@thebarkingmouse man of culture, I see.
They are not mechanics. They are SUPER mechanics. Try to change an entire front suspension in just 30 to 40 minutes (don't forget that they are 4 wheel drive cars)
I'm from Sweden, here only 3% of the country is "developed", 69% forested. We have many "forest roads" we rally on. A lot! And yes, we do race on frozen lakes here too. Rally is probably the biggest motorsport here, rivaled only by "Folk Race"😁🤙
I know some guys from Sweden. You're the top of the nuts! In a positive way!
it always ahas been that if you talk about rally, you think of sweden
Indycar should get more attention in Sweden! We have the reigning Indy 500 champion and current Indycar series leader Marcus Ericsson driving for Chip Ganassi, We also have the real fast Felix Rosenqvist driving for Arrow McLaren.
Don't forget speedway!
Hello from Minnesota, usa. We ice race on frozen lakes in the winter as well. Lots of Scandinavian folk live here.
Those trucks are commonly known as Dakar Rally trucks, often running courses through desert terrain that can take days to complete, with the course being split into several segments with camps at the borders of each segment. You can find people running cars, bikes, buggies, jeeps, massive trucks like that, or high-performance trucks like trophy trucks. You should check it out sometime, maybe do a video on it!
Yep Paris-Dakar rally. Motorbikes, trucks and cars. Often the trucks is support for either a car or a bike, at least this was true earlier don't know if stills apply? Completing the entire run in this rally is an achievement in it self
The Dakar rally is the longest race in professional motorsports. Something like 6200 miles, through some of the harshest terrain on the planet. Its like six Baja 1000s back to back, and then some.
@@henriknielsen6110 Every team with a car, bike, or truck participating in the race have their own support truck(s). There's some variation, like some low-budget teams (often private) make do with a van or similar, or team up with a few other private drivers and get a support truck together, and such.
But the support trucks aren't racing, and never has been.
The trucks that race are pure race trucks, and are their own competitive entry in the compatition, and they have their own support trucks.
Look at Jan de Rooy his super DAF truck
It's the truck that banned all the super high performance trucks, because it would go faster than the rally cars.
@@noobswaffeler630 It was was amazing seeing that massive truck overtaking the rally cars.
Rally drivers possess the most skill, the fastest reflexes and the greatest bravery of any racing car drivers. To even contemplate a comparison between these guys and NASCAR is like comparing apples and oranges.
Nascar from what I saw it's like driving in a cage
Das Tanzen der Füße auf den Pedalen ist faszinierend 👍👍👍 Audi Quatro/ Walter Röhrl ❤
NASCAR is actually more dangerous sometimes because of how fast they go. They have SOME of the most skill, but a couple rally drivers tried their hand at nascar and failed miserably
@@joshpauley289 And which NASCAR driver even dared to seriously compete in a rally (not endurance)? - No matter the result.
@@dirkp.6181 it’s not a “dare” thing, nascar drivers have grueling schedules. Many in the top series race 40+ races a year, most 400-500 miles. They don’t have much time. They have competed in rallycross, which is similar- different terrains, jumps, high speeds, and impressed. Scott speed, a nascar bust, is one of the best rallycross drivers ever
As Walter Röhrl said: "Wenn wir über Motorsport reden, dann reden wir über Rally-Sport! Alles andere ist Kindergeburtstag!" (When we talk about motorsport, we talk about rallysport! Everything else is a child's birthday party!)
Love your reactions to that sport!
Did you realize? All Rally Cars have to pass Road Registration, working lights, working indicators, because in-between every timed section, you have to drive on public roads to get there...
Its great fun waving at the kids, on a normal public road...
Every Rally car, is a Road Registered Car..
thats not true, there are many special regulations für rallye cars who needs to drive on "normal" roads between the races. like in germany you get an orange or blue badge. in germany you would also have a really hard time to get a road registration with a roll cage for example. there are different groups of rallye-cars like "close to production" with less modifications. A WRC Car is too modified for a road registration, at least in western europe.
@@gonzo2495 there's a Video of a german TV Show called grip, where the Moderator gets to drive sebastien ogiers polo wrc. The Moderator gets to drive and Pick up people on public road in germany with a standard WOB (wolfsburg) license plate. I'm not sure on what the actual rules are here in Germany with TÜV etc. But all the rallye cars have to be road legal
@@Toad666 Ich kenn Grip eh, und klar gibts Rallye-Autos mit Straßenzulassung, meist eben die seriennahen Fahrzeuge. Die hochgerüsteten WRC-Autos sind aber eine andere Sache. In Deutschland gibts dafür KFP-Ausnahmeregelungen die man beim DMSB beantragen muss.
Its called SCRUTINY
In NSW Australia you can get a car Rally Registered which means that it can be driven between stages during a race meet or between meets you can only drive it to a mechanics to get work done to it. Work mate had a Ford Cortina that he raced, but a few times he had to get work done to the gearbox which the only gearbox mechanic was 50km away. He got pulled up a couple of times and the cops were more interested in what his setup was than booking him.

This is very common to happen in Europe, and I think the Russians are super keen on it as well. I think you'd love to see some videos of the Rally Dakar then, mainly the trucks, but the cars and bikes are awesome also.
Back then, the people that did it were the ultimate superhumans. No GPS, just maps and compass, middle of the desert. Go.
Back then you didn't have the fear of dying instantly against a wall or cliff. That was a luxury.
If you weren't up to the Sahara, you'd die a gruesome death. :(
Love Dakar Race, ever eard of the Twinn engine truck that was Faster on sand than Peugeot 405 t16?
Dakar really is something to watch. I haven't seen any in like 10 years or more, but the imagery still sticks in my head.
Yeah Tatra has some amazing trucks , even had one supercar back in the days
Actually, they still don't have GPS nowadays. Well, they have a GPS emmiter, but only in case a rescue team needs to come and find them; the driver (and rest of the team, +1 in cars, +2 in trucks) have no access whatsoever to the GPS system.
The Dakar is primarily a navigation challenge, so that's why.
But other than limmits to navigation aids, you have next to no limmits at all on the vehicles themselves, very rare on motorsports.
@@MrJointpt wasnt that de Rooy?....even the camera helos couldnt keep up..............til it crashed and killed one and paralysed another in the cab
And on top of pushing all that power out of a 4 banger the amount of abuse the suspension and frames take and they keep going is just amazing I was never a hardcore fan of racing but I enjoy rally sports
Sometimes not even 4, the previous generation of Toyotas had a 3 cylinder engine.
WRC is the most AMAZING freakin' type of racing that you could ever watch! The drivers are way beyond incredible, and the reactions and responses are just insane! That is why i love to keep up with them. Just keep on watching and keep being amazed! Thank you so much for what you do, and keep up the great work! Love your channel!
Not to bust your bubble, but you should check out irish roadracing, or the isle of man TT :p
this is the moment when an American realises that anyone can ride ovals
That dog needs to purchase a lottery ticket!
Fun fact: Rally has contributed MORE to daily driving cars than ANY other motor sport.
I’m pretty sure that’s f1
Look it up mate.. that's why it's a fun fact, because you wouldn't think so... but it do...
@@louislynge what should I look up specifically? I want to read more into this, thanks in advance!
@@jonathanparry7824 where is the crumple-zone on an F1 car exactly?
@@ryanparker4996 the wheel?
While stationed in Japan in the early 80's, I got hooked on Rally Racing. I bought a 1975 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR that my Japanese navigator found for me. We rallied all over northern Japan, all night races in the mountains. Never won anything but a huge smile on my face. I was the only GAIJIN or foreigner racing. Loved every minute of it.
I'm in my mid 60's now, but can still drive like a nut.
Badass bro
Rally racer gotta got some screw loose or "a whole pack kangaroo loose in the attic" as the down under says.🤣
@@nurlindafsihotang49 It's the same with helicopter pilots. Both handle machines that don't wanna go in a straight line and are insanely hard to control.
As the mighty Walter Röhrl said (kinda): "If you leave a racetrack by some feet you drive back. But if you leave a rallytrack by some inches you are dead."
Markku Alen once said before rally Corsica: If you drive in to the ditch, an aspirin will not help.
never a truer word said !!
a bit like the Isle of Mann TT, I am paraphrasing a little bit but one of the drivers said "the race is a green and grey blur, you gotta stay on the grey"
walter röhrl guy who didn't like finland rally, cause ''too many yumps''
@@AnikaJarlsdottr joey Dunlop said it. He had the most wins and probably will for a long long time
The overall handling tactics also vary depending on whether the rally car is a 4x4, or just a front-wheel drive (or nowadays more rarely a rear-wheel drive, like the Group B of old). Taking a corner, and especially a U-turn, requires fairly different handling practices and timing if you have all-wheel drive or have to bear in mind just a single powered axle. Fairly equal advantages and disadvantages for taking on turns. There's some getting used to the tactical differences, so to speak, depending on a class' preferred drive configuration.
Not only has Škoda been in rally racing for a long time with their passenger model derivatives (since at least the 1960s), fellow Czech car company Tatra (one of the oldest in the world) has been active in rallying for decades, albeit specialising on rally-raid trucks. Including the trucks used in Rally Dakar. Teams using Tatra trucks have been competing in the Dakar Rally since the 1980s (at first only Czechoslovak rally trucker teams, and likely some foreign teams as well since the 1990s). The rally trucks belong in the T5 class.
Modern rallying basically boils down to three major branches:
- rallycross: closest to a typical circuit race, with a small number of drivers competing against each other and the clock, often on an unpaved "obstacle course" circuit
- your usual A-to-B stage races: arguably the real backbone of the entire motorsport, driven on conventional roads and paths, especially in rural areas
- rally-raids (cross-country rallying): long-distance (essentially continental) endurance races of rally cars and buggies (T1, T2, T3, T4 classes), motorbikes and quads (Moto and Quad classes), rally trucks (T5 class), mostly off-road (the likes of Rally Paris-Dakar, Rally Budapest-Bamako, the Silk Way Rally and Northern Forest Rally)
I've always been surprised rally racing hasn't caught on that much in the US. There's a lot of rural areas and roads in North America that would be perfect for rally racing. It's present in the States, just still more of a niche thing. I remember watching a cockpit view video a few years ago, of a husband-and-wife team practicing an A to B rally stage track, somewhere in the Mojave desert, I think. It was your local, semi-hobbyist, entry level rallying, with an older refurbished car modified to basic rally specs, so nothing spectacular, but it's good to see this type of motorsports has its fans in the US as well. I think one strong suit of rally racing is that it can appeal even to motor racing fans or spectators who otherwise might not be interested in circuit races (F1, NASCAR) or find them "boring". With rallying, at least no one can complain about things appearing "same-y" after a while. :-)
12:31 That, my friend, is a Dakar Rally truck. Specifically, a Tatra Dakar Rally truck, and they are insane! They produce roughly 1,000 hp out of a turbo Diesel engine, and handle about as well as a regular rally car. Mad fun to watch!
Love your reaction man, nice to know the USA appreciates European motor sports👍🏻
I'm just disappointed that I have missed out on stuff like this my most of my life! Euro Motorsports are intense and Awesome!!
@@IWrocker plenty of time to catch up friend. Have you looked at the Isle of Man TT races? Mind blowingly epic!!!
@@noelwallace5257 oh what a nice hint isle of man race is insane!!!! 🤩🤩
@@IWrocker Rally in the rest of the world is on public roads or a desert and is totally free for spectators. US race tracks you have to pay for entry.
If you're into auto racing, there's no way you can't appreciate Rally, formula 1, etc.
"Who knew a four-banger could sound so ferocious?" That's the best part, the Yaris is a three-banger. 1.6 liter 3-cyl. Both the rally car and the road version use the same base engine
The WRC Yaris has a 1.6l inline 4, not the 3 cylinder that powers the roadgoing GR and the club level rally cars, because WRC regulations state that this is what they must run. It doesn't really matter though. I got talking to one of the Toyota team guys the last time the WRC was in Australia and he told me the only component the WRC car shares with the road car is the plastic Toyota badge. The WRC cars are substantially modified under that composite skin. Like, virtually unrecognisable. The engine is so far back and low down in the engine bay (they're tilted over at a crazy angle too, for a lower centre of gravity) that at first you wonder if there's even an engine in there. The Hyundai and the Fords are the same. They're pretty wild machines.
@@woopimagpie I stand corrected. I had watched a vid a couple weeks ago where they were talking to a driver of one of the rally Yarises (Yari? what's the correct term for multiple ? lol) and they said something about it being the same engine. I probably missed the clarification about it being an i4. But I do recall them saying something similar to what you mention with the badge being the only real identical part. I love the rally versions of cars, it's like hey, lets turn this road car into the most insane version of itself!
There was a shot with 3 pot Fiesta tho
Anyhow both 3 and 4 bangers in rally spec sound sick :D
@@rmc2hl5t_pl88 I am thinking.... How about a 3 cylinder 2-stroke rally car?
@@brostenen I think there might have been some Saab in rally. In racing there was Melkus RS1000 from Eastern Germany. Sounds mad. :D

Try being a rally navigator, total faith in the guy with the wheel and pedals. As for the trucks, try watching the Dakar Rally as the service trucks are fully equipped mobile service centres and have their own race.
Yup, the Paris to Dakar rally was a crazy event. Worth checking out
They driving for days didnt they?
I used to love it in the 80’s. RS2000, Lancia Delta & Audi Quattros.

I'm a 'car guy' and I've never understood the 'v8 guy, muscle car guy' distinction, a cool car is a cool car, why limit yourself to only the V8's when there are so many other epic cars in the world.
It's a preference thing I presume. I could recognize cool cars as cool, but I'd still prefer some old light weight fun shitboxes and looking at them makes me giddy.
@@shira_yone YES. im a shitbox guy as well. they're so fun
Your Totally Correct if you ask me, and I'm really Glad to be Broadening my Horizons in the Awesome Cars on a worldwide scale
That's why the so called "underpowered" MX-5 has become a huge success. Perfect weight distribution and knife sharp steering. Has anyone driven one of these cute little cars and not liking it?
@@IWrocker I bet you'd have more fun with an Ford Focus WRC than any V8 you can find - especially if you are up to having fun on city or mountain roads ;)
Back in eighties I was always watching Neste-Rally, my grand parents had a house near the usual stages. I remember the fight between Quattros driven by Mikkola, Mouton & Blomqvist, and RWD Lancia Rallye 037 driven by Allen. Still remember the smell of race oil / paraffin, and the sound was ripping your soul... I truly miss Group- B cars, they were brutal.
Mouton is the best woman racer that ever existed and she was racing a group b.
I felt a little jealous there😉

There are three OEMs involved in WRC's top-class nowadays. Toyota, Hyundai, Ford. All are mandatory 1.6 L turbo 4 cylinder engines - with an electric engine from this year onward (thus Hybrid cars). 4wd. Each gas-powered engine is being built by the respective OEM. The electric engine is outsourced to a single mandated builder. FIA/WRC's decision.
You should check out the "The Race of Champions" which started in 1988, back then it had the rally cars you like in it. Check out thru the years and see how the cars and drivers changed, it brings together all the champions from all the different championships and disciplines worldwide, you will like it I am sure, its been going 35yrs now... 😊👍🏻
Several elite WRC drivers have been regular F1 drivers and they also have long standing driving records in events such as Le Mans. Goes back a long way in the Bathurst race where Finnish Rauno Altonen won the 1966 Bathurst race in a Morris Cooper S that had won the Monaco Rally a year earlier. Australia has regularly hosted legs of the WRC with events in several States.
That's not true by the way (the several part it's more like a handful over a decade at all). The lastest examples that ever really competed in WRC top series was Kubica. Sainz is doing rally events but not on top level. Altonen was another example yes , but the most F1 drivers that end their career in F1 Circus are more likely to find in GT sport of LMP afterwards like you mentioned and driving endurance races like 24h Nürburgring or LeMans 24h and so on. Rally takes to much skill and practice to do it on high level as just "another sport" to do besides a very hard job like formula 1 pilot
@@aqulex84 Sebastien Loeb did it
@@MetallvmPT no he didn't. Loeb NEVER had one official race in a F1 car nor was he hired by a team. He did testings in a Renault and a Redbull but never gotten his super license. He was NEVER a regular F1 driver. Sorry man but get your facts straight.
And by the way Loeb was already a multiple times WRC champion and tried to switch to F1, not the other way round .
@@aqulex84 Back in the late 90s I remember seeing a TV show where Tommi Makinen (WRC Champion at the time) and Mikka Hakkinen (F1 Champion at the time) did a swap and drove each others cars. It was a staged light-hearted TV show so not ideal, but each driver was given time to acclimatise to the respective cars and practice to where they were comfortable they could drive to the best of their abilities. The Hakkinen and Makinen show I think it was jokingly called. Both drivers proved to be very capable in each others cars, but Tommi would have fared far better in F1 qualifying than Mikka would have done in a WRC event. Because of that the show drew the conclusion that rally drivers were more skilled than F1 drivers, but that's over-simplifying things a fair bit. I reckon it probably had more to do with them both being Finnish. They are a nation of outstandingly good drivers, motorsport is just part of them, rally in particular. Mikka Hakkinen clearly had experience in a rally car whereas the F1 car was quite unfamiliar to Tommi Makinen yet it was Tommi who adapted faster. Make of that what you will. 🙂
... and the other way around. F1 driver who has been a WRC rally driver: Kimi Räikkönen (FIN)
After seeing this video of yours right after your reaction to Group B, I can see you'd be the kind of guy that would be there with us looking at the mechanics in their stands after the stages, and right there at the best corner or the next stage, on the following morning, with an icebox full of cold ones, and getting your mind boggled with the sheer pair of cohones that those rally drivers have. You seem like you'll like rally in general, but I bet you're gonna get hooked on something that will feel like a "go-kart on cocaine" tossed on small county roads.
I love motorsports in general, but for my rally is the purest and most complete form of motorsport: it contemplates all kinds of climate, road pavement, agile corners into big streches and vice-versa, it demands everything from a car and a driver. And it also is the sport that gives you more skills for actual IRL driving, in a sense.
BTW, I always say that clips from rally drivers, mainly old ones from 80's 90's and early 2000's, make the best meme material for "when she said her parents weren't home"
Those guys (and gals!) drove like their lives depended on it! Or as if they wanted to end them prematurely and spectacularly.
Loved the vids! Cheers!

I am 61.. back in the day.. had Datsun 1600, 510 in America.. running the twin spark Bluebird engine.. going through gates on a farm at 200 plus kilometres an hour, and not hitting the gate post was fun.. then a tight squishy fit between trees..

I live in the southern Alps in France and let me tell you, we have lots of roads that are used for rallying. You could spend an entire day visiting them all here. They're all small, with strong turns, and gets icy or covered in snow during winter. A challenge for Rally driver but also normal drivers, it's a real pleasure driving on those roads
Sounds Like Fun with a Lick of Danger haha Thanks for the comment!
Salut le voisin, je suis à Peille, juste au-dessus de Monaco, bonne journée 😁✌️
I.M.H.O., the Rallye Finland is the most spectacular of all. You should make a video of it. The cars make jumps greater than 30 meters in length.
Rallying is the best motorsport, with Touring Cars a close second. Best drivers in the world, tearing down country lanes at max chat. However, my sympathy lies with the co-driver who has to read out the instructions (Pace Notes) while being bounced around the cabin.
The J. Peltsi stuff is from Finland's amateur rally culture , its their National sport , the spectators get involved as well , its a hoot
These drivers and their navigators are the most skilled and fearless drivers I've ever seen however, we lost Peter Brock during a rally in Tassie.
Peter Brock died in Perth. He was 61, really to old to race rally competitively.
driver is nothing without a good pace man. after all they turn on say of paceman not on visually seeing cornor
The exhaust flames are the anti turbo lag system to keep the turbo spun up by changing timming and fuel to burn out the exhaust , great mechanics let loose.
Being from Alabama , I should like nascar the best but european rally has been my favorite since the mid 70's . Check out the Dakar rally for the big trucks.
Truck rally, try looking up "DAKAR truck" for starters.
2:45 1983, Ari Vataanen nicks the wall with his front left wheel, causing a puncture and elegantly corrects the car as they are passing through a narrow gate. One of the best saves in rally cross history! Vataanen is an absolute legend, and one of greatest of all times. Oh and he finished the course with the flat, and at full throttle all the way. An AWD would have shredded the flat tyre making the car unsteerable, but this was a rear-wheel drive car! The full stage on-board: ruclips.net/video/cxDz0Z066NI/видео.html
Ace commentary and facial expressions. Keep up with the good work Old Bean !
Vataanen was the best
Best part is when the codriver says Oh my good
Vatanen at pikes peak In a Peugeot for me beats the yellow bird on the ring
Best I’ve ever seen
And a huge shout out to Finland for producing half the list of world rally champions and a good chunk of F1 champions
Bro! I absolutely love your enthusiasm for different motorsports and your understanding of how hard it is to rally at full commitment. Really enjoy your videos mate!
"WRC is for kids, Group B was for men”
dont get me wrong, nascar is also a good sport. but thats why europeans or other countries say its easy... coz compared to this... is just.... yeah lets just buy some milk :D
I live in Jyväskylä where they drive big wrc rally and it's funny to see the gravel roads just after the rally, as the cars have eaten like 40-50cm of the inner corner away in tight turns. The land owners love it though as the rally organization fixes the road after every rally. They are the best kept gravel roads due to annual maintenance they get from the rally organization.
Lovely part of Finland Markku - great for rally testing in that area.
Hey finally the bell worked as intended for once. Gday' from Adelaide mate. Love all the videos and the awesome work you do. Keep up the great work mate.

Ken Block says 450 hp top speed of 125 and the Cars are street legal they have to be to drive between each section or her whatever Termanology they use for that
11:20 looks like you’re in the drivers seat 😂 the split screen looks perfect 🤙
0 to 100kph (60 mph) in 2 seconds, 4wd, small hatchback 2 door cars....love it!
@not today like what cars? hyper cars?
Years ago, when James May was on Top Gear, he travelled to Finland to learn about their driving culture and why they produce some of the top Rally drivers.
What he learnt:
1. It takes three years of learning before you get your permit.
2. Check it out yourself!
That episode, the one where they tried to kill a Toyota Hilux and another where they went all out with the Veyron are my three favorite Top Gear episodes!
Oh yeah I remember that ep, and yes, the Toyota Hilux still ran. For me that is a no brainer as the Hilux's are that well build that when the country's of Chad and Libya ought each other. Balk of the Libya military vehicles were made up of military vehicles. Chad on the other. Do you know what they did? Brought a shit load of Toyota Hilux's, and bolted ground to tanks or ground to air guns on to the back............... AND THAT IS HOW CHAD WON THE WAR............... Google "The Great Toyota War" as it is up there with the Australia, "The Great Emu War", as one of the biggest out of left fields in 20th century wars that happened.
I'm a big motorsports fan and I'd say rally drivers are the best drivers in the world. F1, nascar and so forth are great, I watch both (nascar being harder to watch for me due to time difference) but rally drivers are a breed of their own.
these are hands down the best DRIVERS.....in all aspect of motor sports...
I remember watching an in car view of a guy that was racing against McRae I forget if it was Makinen or Leob but it was insane. I'm a mechanic by trade and two guys I used to work for owned a big Australian rally team, the speeds they go is insane.
Let me say that the first time I saw WRC cars live, I was watching them go around a sharp bend...every single car I saw come, each time I was 110% sure its gonna go wide or overshoot the corner. They come in so freakin fast and stop so incredible quickly, its carzy.
I love watching rally vids on RUclips it’s absolutely mind blowing how skilled and amazing these drivers are, I love how they sound wether they’re forced induction or naturally aspirated. I would love to go and watch some in person in my home country Australia and overseas. My favourite rally cars would have to be the Evos,Subarus the old famous Audi Quattro and so on.
200mph through the bush is fun.. I put retired Nfl player in passenger seat. And he puked in helmet...
Grab a rally game on steam.. select expert, and you ain't anywhere close.. at 120mph on the road, you're wheels could be doing 180mph trying to get traction..
And it's a road registered car.. 🤪
Many a passenger has puked in the passenger seat.. the Chief from Newcastle nrl team. And Paul vautin puked..
@@graemejohnson9025 made a nfl player vomit farout he wasn't expecting how fast you go, and how hard you need to turn at some corners. Going 200mph would be so fun,I would love to be in a passenger seat of a rally car and for a spin.
I'd hurt myself trying this in Gran Turismo. These drivers are nuts.
The Isle of Man TT Races .. if you like speed and want adrenaline ;)
Ian, you should look for Rallycross where they complete in stadiums across Europe insane close racing in rally cars.

Ive been in Montalegre watching WRX a few times...
We had a Metro 6R4 competing in Rallycross in the UK a few years back, was lucky enough to Marshal at a few events where it was entered. What a machine!
I think you already watched the 1988 pikes peak record but you should watch the 2013 one, the entire road has been paved and the record has been smashed by over 1’30 minutes and also in 2013 it was another record for Peugeot with the 208T16 875hp/875kg and a crazy aero package.
im portuguese and i live near the famous Fafe rally section, ive been warching personally WRC rally since late 90's and its always a great experience, tons of people, booze and a lot of fun
🇵🇹
Where i'm from, in Norway, we can't wait for the winter to come each year. We basically live in our cars then. Basically every street is a drifting track. You don't even need a good car to do it. So fun!
You need to be that special kind of crazy to be a top rally driver.
You'll definetely need to check some Dakar footage, the rally is more a thing of endurance rather than curvy tracks, since the distances they have to cover are huge, across rocky deserts and dunes. The coolest aspect is that the drivers and copilots have to be their own mechanics most of the times.
Your enthusiasm is awesome! I love it when people discover how great Rally is. My best friend in high school turned me onto it back in 1983 and I have been totally hooked ever since. Rally drivers are the best in the world👍
One of the really great things about rally back in the 70’s and 80’s was the novel solutions different manufacturers used to build their cars. The variety was so amazing and unlike any other Motorsport: FWD, AWD, RWD, MID ENGINE, REAR ENGINE, FRONT ENGINE, TURBO, SUPERCHARGED or sometimes both! It was truly exciting and the sounds were INCREDIBLE!
Love rally cars, drove rally in a Datsun, have 3 in the shed, they are a blast.
My brother and I went thru a series of Minis. Unbelievable fun. Twitch your butt to steer. The best was a Traveler (station wagon). It had the same wheelbase as the cars, but the weight distribution with the stretched body was favourable. Sill have my Halda Speedpilots. Remember those?
@@coldlakealta4043 holy moley yes! There are still a few period correct examples with them fitted. I grew up in a town where a father and son both rallied and him climbed minis, its what got me hooked. I had a kermit green station wagon and a heritage green Cooper S, both road cars, never got to rally one though.
@@madmick3794 Look at that S-car-go!
I’d love to see your reaction video of you as a passenger!😂😂😂
I would love to see a muscle car on the same track ......................... usa cars are pathetic !

"5 or 600 hp"
We're not in the 80s anymore.
Between early 90s and 2017, the power was limited to 300-310hp.
By 2017, WRC was divided into 3 categories:
Rally1: The most iconic one. 1.6-litre turbo engine, 380 hp max (yeah, probably electronically restricted, but still) and 4WD. Driving assists aren't allowed and the car can't be under 1350kg with the crew inside.
Rally2: 1.6-litre turbo engine, 300 hp max and 4WD. 1230kg on the road. Teams must participate to at least 8 rallyes on 12 in the season.
Rally3: The only thing that differs from R-2 is the fea that is lower. Teams take part to 7 rallyes from the WRC and only the 6 best results are taken into account.
So this was until now, the blessed 2022 edition that allows hybrid cars, adding a 100kW (135 hp) electric engine, pushing the overall power to 520hp max.
So yes, but no.
Hey Ian, I believe there is a hard limit to horse power in rally since group B I believe its around 300 horsepower but the torque is crazy
350+ hybrid unit this year i think
The group b cars had in its peak over 500 whp. That's just the official numbers but they have huge turbos they dialed up based on the stages and conditions. Current WRC cars have around 300 whp
@@k0zzu21 this ones as well with the two engines together you get around 500hp the group b cars were in the 600hp
@@MrJointpt Per Hyundai Motorsport: about 380 bhp from the petrol engine plus 134 bhp from the electric motors when the hybrid boost kicks in
5:20 Nope : by regulation, cars are limited to a decent 380 BHP, which is as you can see plenty enough, and are to weight 1200-1350 kg (2645.5 - 2976.241 pounds) - the difference being w/ or w/o crew.
When come to 4 Weel motor sport this is wolrd most dangerous race . No track no safety nothing pure blood rush race. Most think nascar and f1 dangerous nah they for fancy ass rich people. I'm nascar fan too buy I'm wrc fan boy. You should also watch tt man championship that's the world most dangerous bike race
Y eso que ya no esta el Grupo B no hay fan del rally que no afirme que estaban super locos cuando ya de por si el rally de base es intenso
Rally drivers are the most talented drivers on the planet, they have to excel on tar seal, dirt, gravel, snow, and ice!
Also, love your bone carving, is that from New Zealand?
Watched the Australian National Rally Championships held in the ACT on TV in the mid 2000. The TV station put Heart rate monitors on one of the crews. Awesome to watch their heart rates as they raced! They ended up crashing out on one of the turns (No injuries) but their heart rates on that turn were something I still remember 20ish years later. The drivers HR just kept rising as they went into the corner and he knew he was loosing it then dropped as went pass the point of no return, The Co-driver stayed low-ish then shot pass the drivers as he realised they were gone.
The great Peter Brock died doing a rally, a sad loss for Australia.
Some times they are doing about 120 mph+
rally 1 car have like 350hp and 480nm
Group B for ever, these are children's toys
audi is not the legend the lancia stratos is the legend😎😎
Rally is great, When I was young there was sunday rally cross events with some "interesting" drivers who just gave it all for the race. As a v8 lover you might like DTM touring cars as well..
They are rally drivers built different
Those trucks race in the Dakar rally
thats clip on 7:40 its from Finland
7:54 when the same turn is claiming so many it's usually a pace note error in the navigators notes
American sport is easy AF
Look at jan de rooy paris Dakar and strandrace
Did you check out Rally Cross yet? Cool short races on dirt/gravel/tarmac.
HARRY FUCKING COOPER
The WRC rally cars are limited to 380 hp. The 500-600 hp Group B cars of the 1980s were banned because there were too many fatal accidents. Many of the Group B cars were bought by rallycross teams. Martin Schanche drove a Ford RS200, which was designed for Group B, in rallycross the late 1980s and early 1990s
I always have to laugh from your point of view : Coming from THE unique giant epic 'CURVE' in racing history, where endless fast cars go through... Felt as a European, it lasts 'half an hour' for those racers to fly through that endless curve... wideness, the American Dream, tough guys rescued from burning cars and a countless hughe audience in the arena screaming up... DAYTONA !!
And then a Rally freak from Finland, Sweden, Tschechien, England, Monte Carlo... invites you to an OPEN FIELD in Nowhere-Land😆... for a race of John Deere against Fendt, Deutz and Kubota vs New Holland... Life can be so beautiful, diverse... and funny :)
Thank you for all your really entertaining comments... with shiny Racer`s eyes and a broad smile 😆⛽🚜 🚛💨👍❣
Next time you have to see ULTIMATE RALLYCROSS CRASH COMPILATION! Best Crashes Of World RX ruclips.net/video/GPPGsbN26Qw/видео.html :)
Americans! Europeans! Huge roads....OMG slow down, and then European single track at 60mph if you're sticking to the limits lol....😢 Can we go quicker! hahaha!!
Something to think about... i know you love your V8's but..
Nascar 5.8Litre V8 550bhp 9000rpm (tuned up to 750bhp for short tracks) vs
Formula1 1.6Litre Turbo charged V6 at 900+bhp.. 15000rpm
sometimes, just making something bigger does not mean its better.
wow wow wow never disapoint. AWESOME AMAZING. thank you. You have the WRC bug it will never leave you. i have been watching wrc for 40 years. Never gets old.
If you're a truck guy.. take a look at the "DAF TurboTwin", a rally truck built for the Paris-Dakar rally, a twin engined 1000 Hp Beast of a truck, capable of reaching 200 km/h, and overtaking Group-B cars in the Desert!
it didn't get anymore awesome than that!
If you like the rally trucks....
Check out *Rally Dakar*
It got racing bikes, pickups, buggys, trucks.
A friend of mine ended up riding on a motorcycle in 2020.... Kristian Felix from Norway.
Every time I watch your videos, regardless of what they're about, I always appreciate your honesty and genuine nature.
Keep it real, buddy 👍
The Audi Sport quattro E2 is just peak car! :D I fucking love that thing... that made over 500PS from a 2.1 litre and had a weight of only about 1.2 tons... and that was in 1985 :D
I had a ride in a rally car with a rally driver in 1976. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was in a Mk1 Escort with a Lotus engine. Never been so scared and excited in my life. Highly recommended if you ever have to opportunity.
