- 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.
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...
That dude straight flying
He's going so fast the body can't keep up with the chassis
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.
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.
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😂
To see a GC8 still in action is just a blessing to see in 2019.
"If in doubt, go flat out."
That's what happened here. Holy shit.
That's a real man driving this Subaru!!!!
Great to see the possum tribute and the ROJ plate still being used! 👍
Full attack ! ! !
Awesome driving
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
definatly the best model impreza! alistair doing his brother proud!
You can tell he's a McRae, fantastic driving skill right here 👌
If in doubt,flat out.
🏴💜
A Subaru and a McRae, it seems so right!
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
Really enjoy all the info you put in the description. Amazing footage as always.thanks for the great work
Thanks for the compliments ;)
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'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 👈
Had no idea you were doing hill climbs Alister, Great stuff, Living up to that name mate.
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.
I nearly crapped my pants just watching this, this was a sick run, mad respect Mr. McRae.
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 🙏🏼🍻
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
What an amazing car awesome history behind it and McRae was nailing it all the way
Lotta love for this man and his family! So awesome to see him in this chassis.
The bloodline is too strong.
Brandon Covington lmfao, his brother would’ve been proud
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.
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!
He drives exactly the way his brother used to, Either win or crash, I love it
Colins in the seat next to him reading his pace notes both thinking just like old times
Damn he rowing that h pattern, I miss those days, Awesome vid
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
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!
The spirit of Colin was running through him on that run, epic
That is really impressive driving.
Jeebus that thing changes directions like a housefly.
That car is part of his DNA
2:15 Stickshift life! Impressive.
The car has a rich history according to the video description.
This course looks incredible too.
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👍🚗
McRae family is still doing rally's, wow I grew up reading/hearing that name in the 90's. 😅
Its like they unleashed a wild animal
2:49 that front right wheel lift off oh my goodness
Bring it to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July!
Classy touch with the number plate
I actually had to check that the Playback Speed hadn't defaulted to 1.5 instead of 1.... Bloody hell that's quick.
Great run! And wow, what a history on that car! Appreciate that extra info. :)
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.
Driving in true McRae fashion.
Hope that Alistair son goes on to be a top rally driver like his dad and uncle and his grandfather.
insane what a speed GC8 the best Suby ever made
As a child........I spent hours,days playing Colin Mcrae rally on PS2!......Colin was my hero!...The Mcrae family are Awesome....❤👍
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.
Subaru : check
McRae : check
All over the place : check
Win : check
Blue and gold : can be adressed
Amazing run.
WOW. JUST WOW.
It would be fun to watch the man drive a 80hp Kia down this track
That thing looks like a handful!
He really knows his machine!
I would like to see this on the pikes peak race in colorado.
i want this car in dirt rally 2.0
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!!
What box and suspension do you recon this spec was using in the video?
Some of the best driving ive seen👀
Colin would be proud :)
800 Hp, manual transmission without extreme aerodynamics = Big balls.
Death are certain to those who lives. Why bothers.
I can’t believe this is rod millens driveway 🤯🤯
...
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 Legend. So quick.
This should be today's Group B!!!
Colin is smiling from above!
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 ;)
Jesus this guy can drive.
This POV is unreaaal man 2:16
This video makes me realize I do not push my car hard enough on the touge
now this, is exciting, COngrats!
Wow! So impressive!
The proof that manual is still relevant😘
Your footage is the best!!!
Thanks 👍 We aim to improve every time 😉
Wow, I didn't even know about this guy, feels like I've seen a ghost
I just need that drive train in my gc8🖐🖐
The Skywalkers of rally!
I wasn't ready
@1:27 the speaker say six hundred horse power ;)
that is a very strong transmission
wow !! this thing is friggin' mean !
Blow up soon like they all do
Doesnt the commentator say in the clip that it has 600 odd horsepower ? or is he talking about another car. ? at 1:24
that sound
is the announcer there for all the blind people that attend this rally/hill climb events?
Nice!
This thing is a animal
Is this guy a robot ?
Nahh..he´s a McRae.. 😉
A remember years ago seeing colin b4 he was famouse racing along the clyde valley road in scotland between garrion bridge and lanark at night this road is unforgiving driving normal check google maps and you will see if indout flat out he wasted us cant remember what he was driving we were in a chipped and tuned max boosted uno turbo abarth
