- The younger sibling of the Legendary McRae lineage, Alister, has beaten the All Time Record of Leadfoot Festival´s Hillclimb at the wheel of the ex-Possum Bourne Subaru Impreza WRC 1998. Run by Vantage Windows Motorsport and and producing over 800Hp it is a "bona fide" Hillclimb Monster.
It is an ex-Prodrive Subaru 1998 WRC car, which was driven and crashed at Rally New Zealand by Finnish driver Juha Kangas in 1998. The damaged shell was then purchased by the late Possum Bourne. In 2001, after rebuilding the car, Possum drove it to victory at Race to the Sky in 8min 34sec. In 2003, Vantage Motorsport purchased the car after Possum’s death. From 2004-2007, Swedish WRC star Kenneth Eriksson drove the car at RTTS, finishing runner-up on two occasions. In 2011 and 2012, Vantage-supported driver Emma Gilmour to drive at the Leadfoot Festival. After that it was time for Alister McRae to assume driving duties and simply taking the Leadfoot Festival Hillclimb event by storm winning in 2017, 2018 and now on 2019, being the first driver to go below the 48 second mark, posting a 47.99.
His brother would have been proud of him! Driving a manual car and getting the new record is just incredible. He deserve his name!
Very impressive! Great work and well done....
i think alister is one of most underrated drivers. he had colin's speed, and also he didnt overpush his driving. he was only lacking a team that gave him the tools
I could easily keep up with him... until the start light turned green 😂
Seriously, Alister is a lightning bolt of a driver, razor sharp reactions and perfectly complimented by this superbly capable GC!
Man it's great to see McRae on the window.. so happy for them. What a run.
That dude straight flying
He's going so fast the body can't keep up with the chassis
Every Subaru video with Mcrae name next to it is the best Subaru video on RUclips and this one's no exception.Glad to see Colin's brother doing it in same crazy style like he did back in the day.I miss Colin a lot.Rally just ain't the same without him.
800hp, H-pattern and a stock-looking shifter, this man is a legend 100%!
That’s a dog box or sequential setup for sure. He was only letting off throttle during shifts plus you can hear the gears slamming
@@VitruviunMan you can see him clutch in before shifting, you can also see that its not sequential.
You still have to use the clutch with a sequential setup at low rpms either way that tranny is not a standard h pattern in my opinion but love this car it rips and this man a is legend!
@@VitruviunMan yes i know. And No, there's no way the trans is stock, the shifter just surprised me since it looks oem in a beefed up wrc car 😂
@@VitruviunMan All Rally Cars in WRC used a Dogbox Group N none of them Used a Standard box...
Just look at him, you can tell a story from his eyes and elbow movement before his wrist and hands even move. It's just so fluid. What a staggering car also.
To see a GC8 still in action is just a blessing to see in 2019.
The quickness of his shifts and the footwork he must have to maintain that kind of speed is mind boggling to a simpleton such as myself
It's sped up footage, that's why.
@@GuyMahoney no its not lmao
@@GuyMahoney
Lol you need your eyes testing, and your perception😂
You can tell he's a McRae, fantastic driving skill right here 👌
definatly the best model impreza! alistair doing his brother proud!
"If in doubt, go flat out."
That's what happened here. Holy shit.
A Subaru and a McRae, it seems so right!
Great to see the possum tribute and the ROJ plate still being used! 👍
Guy shifts so damn fast you'd think hes got paddle shifters in the beast! What a boss!
It's set up so you do not have to push in the clutch
@@lolykebrtwv so a dog box?
@@Hai_da it has dog gears
@@lolykebrtwv theres no such thing as dog gears, you can get dog engagement with straight cut gears though since helical causes side loading.
@@Hai_da 😂 what do you mean there isn't such thing as dog gears? It's just a gear with dog engagement instead of syncros. I have them in my rally car which is still H pattern. How about you Google H pattern dog gearbox and come back to me
That's one of the best videos you guys have posted. Awesome car and driving!
Thanks 👍 We always try to post videos as awesome as possible but we have to admit this one is rather good given the car/driver combo 👈
That's a real man driving this Subaru!!!!
Full attack ! ! !
Awesome driving
Lethal turn of speed and I enjoyed it 😍👌🏻💯
Great mix of angles to cover what must have been an exhilarating run, even the little twitches of snap oversteer lend to how remarkable the run was; to have a perfect run would be the equivalent of driving without emotions!
Thanks very much for another window view into driving pleasure 🙏🏼🍻
Really enjoy all the info you put in the description. Amazing footage as always.thanks for the great work
Thanks for the compliments ;)
Had no idea you were doing hill climbs Alister, Great stuff, Living up to that name mate.
If in doubt,flat out.
🏴💜
What a legend, from a family of legends. My best memory of them driving together was Castle Combe rallyday around 2005/6 Alister and Colin put on a display in mk2 escorts, pure talent. Not forgetting jimmy, he can still pedal like he’s 30 years old!! Throwing a v8 Firenza around Kielder can’t be easy!! What a family!
Top respect to the McRae family, these men can drive
I nearly crapped my pants just watching this, this was a sick run, mad respect Mr. McRae.
Reminds me of Cody walker keeping the 'tradition' of their elder brothers
Great to see a McRae on the window too.👍👍
His brother would be proud🙏
That traction problem in the last corner in 5th gear 💪🏻🤩 crazy dude
Run was absolutely fantastic. On another note. RIP Colin, miss him everytime i see one of these gc8s
Rip Possum Bourne too, both Subaru legends and that's Possums old car
Love the GC chassis based STi and also the GDB-C STi. Impressive to see 800bhp from the EJ20T and six speed gearbox.
Those gearbox are super strong.
Well yeah Lin Chester Subaru are best rally cars in the world you can't deny it and top it of did you see this guy driving i thought for a minute this was takuni with lightning fast shift and insane control over impreza is second to none don't you think Lin i am wrong about it.
@@lillianapacheco9155 both Mitsubishi and Subaru during the heydays were amazing
The battle was the Evos vs the STi
rip the Evo
@@linchester8464 the evo is coming back in electric form
@@areyou0k98 RIP
I HIGHLY doubt that's the factory 6 speed. I can hear straight cut gears.
The bloodline is too strong.
Brandon Covington lmfao, his brother would’ve been proud
Lotta love for this man and his family! So awesome to see him in this chassis.
What an amazing car awesome history behind it and McRae was nailing it all the way
Not even Finnish rally drivers are this amazing as this man. Holy shit that is so impressive driving! Colin is up there smiling at his brother!
Damn he rowing that h pattern, I miss those days, Awesome vid
Colin inspires me to be a lunatic. My idol. Greatest ever. Big Al you keep my dream coming towards reality. If In doubt flat out. Both best drivers best brothers best idols best ever. Always.
Colins in the seat next to him reading his pace notes both thinking just like old times
This car is exactly what WRC should be not the spaceships they use... and more HP, because why not?
🤣🤣 spaceships
Good one
Have to admit wrc is impressive to watch now, still cant beat mcrae sliding up a tarmac stage in a group a wrx
@@zyoungson215 sadly I don't watch it much anymore I prefer watching and following other random rallies and hill climb videos where it's still about cars and not the same WRC car with just different brand like nowadays WRC most look the same and sound similar nothing unique to watch.
Same here rally suck, I used to be a road commissioner but I gave up a few years ago since is this newer shitty rally cars and they silenced the Evo here and almost all cars.
Even the Porsche GT3 1st year they shown up on my local rally I could hear it kilometers away from me and since I was at like 30 cm from where the car pass by fast even my ears exploded with so much powerful most pleasure sound, the year after they silenced them no more getting horny 4 me and they called me to go to commissioner and I was like screw that same boring cars and the good ones silenced no Thank You :(
I even spent days drawing that Porsche paintjob in Forza 4 very accurate to play in game :)
Best times here was when group B was alive my father told me ppl would all go crazy out of home for a few days and sleep outside just to see them, nowadays is less and less ppl each year and after like the 20 best cars most start to go home or to bars drink :).
I wish I could ever see the Audi Quattro group B car before I die... I'm from Jan 1990 so sadly I missed group B my father always tell me how crazy rally was back then Vs the boring shit today... 90s rally here at least was very cool loved the old Lancia Delta, the old Subarus, evos...
Ps: I prefer seeing crazy monster cars and crazy Hill climb videos here on RUclips from this RUclips channel than even go watch the modern rally here in real life, I'm too bored with it already, I will only see it this year if they bring a new old crazy car or some drifting or other shit not the modern rally cars screw them.
guily6669 snap m8
@@guily6669 Well,you pretty much explained how i feel about rally,which is why i follow hillclimb and time attack as well.
His inputs are mechanical. Truly one with the machine! Great driving
He drives exactly the way his brother used to, Either win or crash, I love it
The spirit of Colin was running through him on that run, epic
A mcrae driving possum bournes old car, such a cool trubute.
just missing the blue and gold paint, Possum style paint splash livery would be great!
2:15 Stickshift life! Impressive.
Jeebus that thing changes directions like a housefly.
That is really impressive driving.
That car is part of his DNA
McRae family is still doing rally's, wow I grew up reading/hearing that name in the 90's. 😅
2:49 that front right wheel lift off oh my goodness
Its like they unleashed a wild animal
This course looks incredible too.
The car has a rich history according to the video description.
Classy touch with the number plate
Bring it to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July!
Great run! And wow, what a history on that car! Appreciate that extra info. :)
Driving in true McRae fashion.
I actually had to check that the Playback Speed hadn't defaulted to 1.5 instead of 1.... Bloody hell that's quick.
As a child........I spent hours,days playing Colin Mcrae rally on PS2!......Colin was my hero!...The Mcrae family are Awesome....❤👍
WOW. JUST WOW.
Amazing run.
insane what a speed GC8 the best Suby ever made
It baffles me that the likes of this guy isn't competing in the wrc to this day. It's a unfortunate his factory drives with hyundai and Mitsubishi evo 7 were in uncompetitive cars. I was really backing him and francois delecour in that 2002 season in the evo 7. Malcolm Wilson(Ford boss), even Jean Todd ( FIA boss) please get in touch with with Alistair and put him in a wr car quick time like British/World rally fans need. The guy is a winner👍🚗
He really knows his machine!
Dream car. I'm half way with my type r on a diet and replacing everything with plastic and fibre glass. Just need another 500bhp.
See.. we need this kind of race with car that got no restrictions.
+Kristiadi Hartanto European hillclimb racing scene and time attack championships are full of them.Formula 1,WRC,GT and endurance racing are shown live on TV,which are boring and exciting racing is not shown.Best racing isn't covered on TV but is more underground.
@@hillclimbracingfan5821 that's what i meant.
@@kristiadihartanto2623 You're thinking right.
Hope that Alistair son goes on to be a top rally driver like his dad and uncle and his grandfather.
I would like to see this on the pikes peak race in colorado.
i want this car in dirt rally 2.0
That thing looks like a handful!
Colin would be proud :)
Subaru : check
McRae : check
All over the place : check
Win : check
Blue and gold : can be adressed
It would be fun to watch the man drive a 80hp Kia down this track
What box and suspension do you recon this spec was using in the video?
Some of the best driving ive seen👀
急な登りでこれだけ加速感が伝わる映像は珍しい。
それだけ凄まじい速さって事だ!!
The Legend. So quick.
800 Hp, manual transmission without extreme aerodynamics = Big balls.
Death are certain to those who lives. Why bothers.
This should be today's Group B!!!
Colin is smiling from above!
now this, is exciting, COngrats!
I can’t believe this is rod millens driveway 🤯🤯
Jesus this guy can drive.
Your footage is the best!!!
Thanks 👍 We aim to improve every time 😉
This POV is unreaaal man 2:16
Wow! So impressive!
...
Feom that footage... I wonder why they put in a passenger seat
Who would be mad enough to get into that taxi????
Wow it actually scared me hahahah respect
The proof that manual is still relevant😘
This video makes me realize I do not push my car hard enough on the touge
The Skywalkers of rally!
I wasn't ready
wow !! this thing is friggin' mean !
I just need that drive train in my gc8🖐🖐
Nice!
Wow, I didn't even know about this guy, feels like I've seen a ghost
that is a very strong transmission
that sound
Small correction on the description; the car was driven by Juha* Kangas and he crashed it in WRC Rally New Zealand 1998* ;)
Thanks for noticing, it is already corrected ;)
is the announcer there for all the blind people that attend this rally/hill climb events?
The announcer says the car has 600 horsepower not 800 horsepower.
He may have said it, but the Team who runs the car and worked with us on this video have the dyno sheets showing over 800Hp..So I guess we will take the Team´s word 😉
zeroyon223 We are based wherever there´s an Hillclimb Monster worth showing 😉 .. Not NZ based, but have collaborators on NZ and good relationships with many of the Teams participating on the Leadfoot Festival 👍
@1:27 the speaker say six hundred horse power ;)
Doesnt the commentator say in the clip that it has 600 odd horsepower ? or is he talking about another car. ? at 1:24
Blow up soon like they all do
Unbelievable.
This thing is a animal
