Almost one year of work, but 1998 season deserved it!! I really hope you will appreciate this video, guys 😊 Available subtitles in many languages 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇩🇪🇫🇮🇯🇵🇪🇦🇫🇷🇨🇳
I remember watching the last rally with my dad. I was buzzing for Richard Burns, gutted for Colin and then heartbroken for Sainz. I was so young that i didn't have a favourite. But old enough to understand the champsionship and how it worked.
That Evo is still, arguably, one of the best looking rally cars. Ever. Even as a McRae fan, that Marlboro livery proved those colors work on just about any race car. Wasn't it the first time the driver's name was on the car, years before McLaren tried it in F1?
@@svenmartin840 They mean the tobacco 'brand' - "Tommi" replacing "Marlboro" prior to "Mika/David" replacing "West". Though it was in the same season (1998) that both Mitsubishi and McLaren did it. In terms of any driver name though, F1 had it in the mid-60's, so a little earlier than '73.
I love the fact that this is perhaps the most memorable WRC season, both due to how exciting the whole season played and the fact that these cars enjoy loads of video game fame, even the Kit Cars.
1998, 1995, 2001, 2003 and of course, 1983, as well as 1982 to 1986. The best rally seasons ever. Colin McRae and Walter Rohrl & Henri Toivonen are three of the greatest rally drivers of all time. Group B is the best era of rallying by far. :)
98' was a crazy year that's for sure. But with Tommi & Mitsubishi having to deal with more restrictive Grp A rules & a new car on top of probably one of the most competitive fields of drivers in WRC history their victories in drivers & constructors championships were well deserved.
Thank you for the great report from the past. I had already forgot how we were holding breath for tommi in -98 here in Finland. Crazy season alltogether. Couple of things i remember well were that rally officials KNEW about the oil on the track at GB rally,they just didnt bother to inform anyone concidered,like the DRIVERS. Second is that Mäkinen answering the phone during tv interview went viral in finland (before internet ofcourse that needed a lot more than today)saying over and over MITÄ?MITÄ?. The MITÄ stuck in finnish language so hard that we still use it today as expression of utter disbelief. Mitä means what,but Tommis WHAT? with central finland dialect on tv was forever printed on Finnish language. Great season. Great drivers. Great memories.
I remember this as the first full season I watched on TV as a 12/13 y/o kid, loads of coverage on BBC for the Rally GB. I've loved this era of rally car ever since. Wonderful video, great work. Now to show it to my kids 👌🏼 thank you 👍🏼
Great video. I saw the Margam Park Sainz Corolla problem, he came past me at full speed, braked for a 90 degree corner, big bang, flame and smoke out of the exhaust. Couldn't see it but could hear it was hurt as he went down the straight. I consider myself lucky to have seen the most significant part of the season.
I have followed Rallying since 1975. And Sports Car Racing. When the Wild World Of Sports covered the East African Safari and I saw the 1975 Lancer. And I said Dad our car is on TV. And I hope the WRC comes back to the United States. Because it should be on it. Because if you look at the Sports Car Racing. Acura vs Lamborghini came down to two points. In Grand Touring Daytona. And recently last year with the Last year of the Daytona International Prototype.
Born in 1998. Wish WRC was like this now. Some hellish names through this year. I will always say it, if Colin did not pass away, Rally would be completely different now
Who didn`t try to keep full throttle in those cars when Colin McRae rally game appeared on the PC of those days!!!Amazing game,seasons and memories!!! Good job,great video!!!💪😎🏁
@@firstnamesecondname8280 there is Always the "super thanks" button 😛 unfortunately this video was a huge amount of work and has only 50k views, so for the Moment I don't have any other review in project 😔
Indeed for instance all todays drivers with bags of titles are only relevant to todays rules and distances rallies of yesteryear were proper much longer rallies that in my opinion would probably not have any of the current title baggers win them
It was a perfect storm. The new rules, the new cars according to those rules, many drivers entering or were still in their primes, the early success of the FIA/WRC's F2 cup which added more excitement when those kit cars got added to the mix of tarmac rallies and of course all drama involved made it so memorable. Could it happen again? Probably, but it can never be replicated. Just like how the magic of group B can't be replicated or duplicated.
Everybody always gloats about group B, but do these cars seem slow to you? Absolutely not. World of rallying got better thanks to the self destruction of Group B.
I just checked about "toyota castrol belgium", and yes, it was part of TTE, so Loix the races he took part in 98 was inside of TTE despite having a different name the majority of them, only officialy in the TTE for Catalunya because he was point scorer.
That rally in Argentinia... Even with that stop and repair and 2 and a half min oenalty he was only 1:31 secs behind meaning without the penalty he would have won by a whole min even with thw repair 😮
I used to work with a guy I thought looked just like the bike copper that pulled Tommi over leaving Millbrook. After he'd left for another job someone told me it actually was him! Wish I could have asked why he stopped him rather than just giving him an escort.
Also I swear they ran some of the Monaco GP circuit or the roads around it didn't they for the rally in I want to say the mid 90s. Did they do that and when did they stop doing it? I swear there's a photo of Liatti in the Subaru sliding around down by what would be the Nouvelle Chicane on the GP track, or am I thinking of another rally with waterfront scenery?
Yes, they used sections of it at the Rallye Monte Carlo of 1997. The Start was as usual in Monte Carlo itself with the ramp in Casino square; but SS1 was run round the harbour, using roughly 2/3 of the F1 circuit
@@OsellaSquadraCorse Oh neat, so the photo I had of Liatti sliding around through Tabac wasn't just a fever dream, sweet. Now I need to go find more info on these stages though too
42:49 again not even true, its known the reason why engine of Carlos failed, a piston rod failed, a badg of them was defectuous, Auriol next day doing some show testing for press media had the very same failure related to a piston rod.
>In the originally planned 1998 calendar, the 11th round was to be rally Indonesia wait aint that around the time- >however the round was cancelled tdue to a political crisis ahh, yep, makes sense :v
The cars were not the fastest that the engineers could dream up, if left to their own devices. What made this period good was the drivers. Over driving a limited traction car is what makes rallying err Rallying. Hope the new regulations for 25 reflect this.

You are correct. It started in NASCAR first then Trans-Am,and Can-Am,Then IMSA. Then F-1 in 73 or 74.

Shame the WRC Corolla doesn't get much video game fame tho :C ... it might've been disappointing but it's still one of my favorite WRC cars
First thing that came to mind after seeing the line-up was Sega Rally 2
1998 was the year i started to watch wrc. What a year
Lucky bastard
1998, 1995, 2001, 2003 and of course, 1983, as well as 1982 to 1986.
The best rally seasons ever.
Colin McRae and Walter Rohrl & Henri Toivonen are three of the greatest rally drivers of all time.
Group B is the best era of rallying by far.
:)
This and 2001 are the best for me seasons in WRC history.
98' was a crazy year that's for sure.
But with Tommi & Mitsubishi having to deal with more restrictive Grp A rules & a new car on top of probably one of the most competitive fields of drivers in WRC history their victories in drivers & constructors championships were well deserved.
Truly the golden era of rally, in my opinion
Incredible video! Fixing the control arm with a fucking rock BY THE DRIVERS goes so hard.
@ 26 mins 50 seconds! "luckily walked away with just a broken leg" xD

This were the glory days of rallying. I'm from Kenya and I always loved watching the Safari rally
Great effort putting this together, I'll be watching this again
Great job!! Of course it was a good year for the Rally 😍🔥

Ciao Rub, complimenti per questa altra bellissima storia. Immagino che hai avuto il tuo bel da fare. Buon weekend e grazie per la pubblicazione 🍀🏁❤️
Such a legendary season. I had it on VHS and have vivid memories of select moments. The VHS died from too much watching lmao.
Best WRC season review! Well done!

I think FIA really ought to study the '98 season hard and do their best to replicate the conditions that led to that.
Indeed for instance all todays drivers with bags of titles are only relevant to todays rules and distances rallies of yesteryear were proper much longer rallies that in my opinion would probably not have any of the current title baggers win them

Great Work mate. What a season it was. Looking forward for 2001 recap. The best season ever.
Legendary drivers in Legendary cars! 98'!
Great video. Thank you!
this is an awesome video!! Thanks a lot, can't wait for other videos about story of this sport...
I find it incredibly sad that that specific Corolla WRC is barely in any newer rally games
Everybody always gloats about group B, but do these cars seem slow to you? Absolutely not. World of rallying got better thanks to the self destruction of Group B.
Just discovered the channel, instant subscribe! Great work

I Hit the like Button bevore I See a second. That Video must be great! That are the Years I become a Rallye Fan!
now that's some real bizzare racing
late 90's Mäkinen is such a cutie
Honestly this is way better than thought it would be and the fact he wanted to leave is stuff you cannot make up
40:12 eyyyyy i know exactly which vid you took that clip from with that music! xD
1998 season finale - laugh of fate by antti kalhola!

Even with that stop and repair and 2 and a half min oenalty he was only 1:31 secs behind meaning without the penalty he would have won by a whole min even with thw repair 😮
On july 25th in Gran turismo 7 you can drive the WRC 1998 Subaru in update 1.49.
Excellently produced video props to you! The late 90s WRC was my favorite, proud owner of a POS Evo4 GSR
Nice job with the video !

Even as early as the third round, Mark James on the BBC said 1998 looked like being a vintage year. He wasn't wrong.
This was wrc.... Miss those days 😢
Grazie mille, un lavorone
Grazie a te x gli splendidi filmati 😊
AWESOME THX!
With 1.25 speed its perfect 👌
Waiting for 2001 season video!
when you look at rally1 today damn It doesnt look like showroom class-a.
29:17 the Ibiza kit car didnt even exist in 95, and it won from 96 to 98 the 2 litre cup.
Whats brilliant is Sainz Sr still competes to this day in the Dakar
The Sainz are extremely competitive, and also super nice guys
感谢有中文字让我更加了解 😃😃😃
move that lil corolla im glad lots dont know about it

McRae was robbed by the poor reliability of the Subaru this year. Not quite as dramatically as Sainz though!
