They understand the forces at work when controlling a vehicle at the limit like no other. They race on tarmac as well. I'm sure you know that but F1 drivers Kimi Raikkonen, Robert Kubica and a couple of others have raced in rally. Not WRC obviously.

@@Sancho-_Panza Perhaps, but to your last point, I agree 100%. Best event I ever saw live was Formula Drift because that is just one hell of a show and it's not even really racing.

Some of this info may be a bit dated I haven't rallied for a few years but it will get you started. These are the top cars in WRC. Literally a million dollar car. Top speed about 120-130mph. Engine 1600cc/100cubic inches. Huge turbo pressure of 4 bars/60+lbs. Allowing hp near 380 and near 500 on boost for a few seconds. These cars are hybrid with an electric boost. Drivers wear neck braces and racing harnesses in captive seats. Driver with navigator giving directions and road conditions. One car at a time about 1 min apart. Rallycross has multiple cars together on a track. It's pandemonium. There are classes. Production cars are near stock. One class up allows performance enhancements, etc. 2 and 4 wheel drive classes. Sometimes classic classes. Also local or regional classes to national to World Class Rally. Rally in Europe is like Stock Cars in the USA. WRC is a series of rallies all over the world. Oh, Yeh, trees are NOT forgiving. LOL Ask me how I know. Google Dakar Rally being run right now. More off road type of endurance rally, 14 days long. WRC Sweden in Feb. All snow, baby.
top speed is about 124,89 mph (201 km/t) .......Fastest rally in the WRC is Rally Finland on gravel and big jumps and a few years its been Rally sweden on snow... fastest is Rally Finland with the fastest average speed in 2016 78.68mph (126.62km/h), fastest Rally Sweden was 2020 with average speed: 77.22mph (124.28km/h) if im not misstaken.
The highest speed in a current rally stage is in the Safari Rally, where there is a 3 KM long straight that is taken flat out in 6th gear, bouncing off the rev limiter, and the cars are going about 120 to 130 MPH across that section. The average speed of a rally like Finland (the one in this video) is about 80 MPH... sideways. Also, the drivers and navigators get one slow sighting run a few days before the rally where the driver calls out the corners and steering angles and the co-driver scribbles them down, then makes what is known as "pace notes" or a "course book" based on those notes. During the actual rally, the co-driver and driver are on headsets inside their helmets, with the co-driver calling out corners that are 2 to 3 corners ahead. The callouts (and I'm simplifying a LOT here) sound something like "100 6 left into 30 2 right don't cut." What that little sentence means is: 100 meters ahead, 6th gear left turn followed 30 meters later by a 2nd gear right turn with obstacles on the inside of the corner, so don't cut the corner. The driver would react knowing that 30 meters is damned short in 6th gear, so would probably hit the brakes before the left turn and take it in 5th or 4th, then throw out the anchor down to 2nd gear and slide the tail out around the 2nd gear corner so he can plant the power down while still sliding around the corner to get a good exit.
Rally is the undoubted crown of motorsports. Only 10-20 PPL on the planet can drive these cars at this pace without crashing them frequently. David Coulthard (long time top F1 driver and survived 2 or 3 plain crashes) after driving little fun stage with the youngest WRC champ, Kalle Rovanperä: "I never wanted anything so much to end", "I never was so scared in my hole life", "these guys make F1 drivers look like bloody amateurs". ;)
He DOESN'T know the road and has had NO practice runs at all - the guy next to him yells the directions to him at speed and he drives his balls off and hopes not to die. Insane skills !
Well, there are rekke at the begining of the race week (first 3-4 days, if I'm right) - it's time when they making pacenotes and can do practice runs on special stages...
@@mgrib3594 yeah, but reece is done on open roads with public traffic on, to make pacenotes etc - not done at speed, its for the navigator to make pacenotes and to check specific dangers and sections. The average WRC Rallye is 350km (220miles) long, divided in 15-25 stages, so there is zero possibility to learn it by heart and why there is a navigator to give directions at insane speeds.
@@JakobBerry the average WRC Rallye is 350km long, divided into 15-25 stages, The prepared pacenotes are the only thing that tells them where the road goes and keeps them outta the trees. They are allowed to drive a recce of the stages, but that is when the public roads are open and can't be done at speed, it is to make the notes and to note special parts that are dangerous or difficult. This isn't a track, this is a one way shot at warp speed on public roads with a dude yelling the instructions at you, noone can learn 1000+ turns for each Rallye.
NASCAR is childs play....this is true professional motorsport. Check out the Group B from the 1980s to see how it was really done back then. If you dig the rallying check out Travis Pastrana in Gymkhana 2022.
Didn't rally but one my best memories is my friend's dad renting out the Route 66 drag strip while we were in high school and letting us race our cars down the strip. His dad was co-owner of an auto performance shop on the side so all the mechanics brought their cars out and it was awesome. Reminds me of living in Iowa with my buddies I rented a house with...we would go out late at night and go flying down the gravel back roads out in the country on the farms.
Dude, when you quoted Doc Hudson word for word with full meaning and she verbatim agreed with you, y'all went way up in my book! CARS wasn't just a cartoon; it was all about people!
In World Rally Championships, the maximum speed of cars can be up to 190 km/h. The average speed of the current rally leader is 121.2 km/h.The average speed of the Toyota driver (Esapekka Lappi) in the gravel ruts of Central Finland was no less than 126.7 kilometers per hour.315.62 kilometers of special tests were run in Jyväskylä
fastest ever was 245, by unoficial races, but otherwise lancia delta s4 went up to 220 in rally stage, modern rally cars go up to 205 in rare cases, but average top speed is 190, and that is average top speed by all cars not average speed@@akyhne
@@Swarmah I have watched all stages of last year, and almost all, of the two previous seasons. The fastest car, is the Hyundai, which has a rev limiter, that kicks in, at 195 km/h. In one single case have I seen the speedometer to to 196, and that was in a small jump, where they were already going 194. You can easily hear, when the rev limiter kicks in.
@@Swarmah Besides, I don't care about theoretical top speed, or unofficial. Put a race track suspension and a proper gearing on any car, WRC1 or the latest Group B, and they will easily do 250 km/h. But that's not how they race in rally. I don't care about those numbers!
At the speeds of these cars, your average GPS simply would not cut it, even if it were allowed. Instead, each crew (driver and co-driver) does their own course survey at the start of the race week. They get a maximum of two passages on each stage, during which the driver/co-driver take notes on every turn of the course. And we're talking a lot of notes. Julien Ingrassia (Ogier’s co-driver) explained the process: “I transcribe while trying to take as many visual cues as possible. When you are going 180kph and then you have to take a sharp left, what I am saying is crucial. A note said five-tenths of a second too late can ruin everything.” That's right, the co-driver is giving a steady stream of live directions to the driver, including how far ahead the next turn is and how fast they can go through it.
The real reason they use paper for the pace notes is because tech can fail... Imagine your tablet, android or whatever device you use glitching just before a corner that you take at 100mph...
Funny thing is that these rally stages are public roads. So u might be coming from work and just see a rally car flew past you while doing over 100mph. I recommend watching group B rally. That is the golden era of rally. That was the most dangerous but exciting one of them all.
Public roads yes - but closed from traffic on the race day, for obvious reasons... while it's still possible to see them in traffic, when driving from one race location to another between the stages - but surely not doing then 100+...
Once I discovered rally racing (at a young age) I basically said "screw you" to any other racing. Not that I don't give them credit for their skill in their own sport and such but these guys are insane. The fun thing is that you can't easily keep these guys down either. If they spin out and hit a tree and smash in half of their car they'll just get the car pushed back onto the track and keep going. Seen numerous times of cars coming back with three wheels. And as others have mentioned, they'll drive in all weathers and all road types. I so badly wanted to get into the sport but I could barely afford a daily driver so I couldn't start setting up a second car to get into races. These videos are fun to see what kind of stuff they can do but I find the in-car cams to be a lot of fun. When you can hear the co-driver giving the pace notes and the chaos involved. Or the crashes with some of these cars. I never want to see anyone hurt but some of these cars wipe out in amazing ways.
The WRC car are restricted to 300bhp, then it comes down to the driver and navigator plus the setup of the suspension and tyres, all are small like the Ford fiesta and skoda farbia plus the Citroen C3 and one more the Toyota Yaris, there are dozens of Videos from the 70's, 80s and 90s, with different cars over the years some with almost 600 bhp, there are so many different classes with different power curves, enjoy your journey following RALLY on RUclips. 😊
So cool you are blown away by what you are seeing. If you want to see some mind blowing rallying check out the group B era. With Michele Mouton and Walter Rhol. If you think the crowds were close in this video, hang on to your seats. How brave are you???!!!!
Small correction: They are not drifting, but powersliding. Drifting is an artistic sport, where holding the right line in an artistic way gives you points. Powersliding is all about keeping the momentum up and to loose as little speed as possible through the corners. More speed = Less time. Fastest time wins the stage. When they crash as they do, if they can save the car till the end of the stage and bring it to the mechanics and the mechanics can fix it within the time limit. They can continue the race. If the cars can't drive under its own power it is out of the race.
They get up to 200 km/h (electronically limited), transmissions now are 5-speed sequential gearboxes (so no clutching needed to change in between gears, just lever ir) mates to an AWD system. Automatic transmissions are not a thing in rally, though Audi tested a what I believe a 6-speed auto on Walter Rhörl's S1 E2 Quattro back in the Group B days. These cars sound like a can of angry bees due to their anti-lag system (ALS) that prevents the turbocharger response time by combusting gasoline when off throtle, wich is very taxing on all the engine components of the car.
They have seen the track only once I believe. The Co-driver is reading navigation a few turns ahead. And they don't drive the same track twice(the same way). You don't get points for jumping. It's just about the final time after 2 or 3 days.
rally is not as good today as it was in the 80''s and early 90's Group B class was AWSOME.... they dont Exactly know the track .. the driver has a CO'pilot in the passenger seat and he reads off what bend or curve is comming next along with how sharp the turn is and if there is a jump and how severe.. basicly like a sat nav but better and faster that dose not make mistakes.
You wanna see real rally racing? Watch group B racing from the 80's with hundrets of racing fans on the track while the cars are passing by and nearly hitting them by inches.
Another fun fact is that they use smaller engines ranging from 3 to 4 cylinder engines which makes a lot of power. I'm talking over 500 to700hp from 2.0 liter engines
WRC cars now very limited by restrictions but still that are Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit) class cars with huge 2.0L engines forced up to 300hp with full wheel drive and sequential gearboxes (but gears change like manual just because gear change more correctly) The Golden Age of WRC was Group B in 1980 with 500-600hp engines, that is why nowadays restrictions are from. Rally is not a race it is the fastest transportation from point A to point B by the route that copilot is reading. But some rally stages have lap duels for 2 cars. And rally is about mud, sand, gravel, and not so much about tarmac
WRC1 uses a 1,6 l engine, with 380hp. And an electric motor, boosting another 100 KW, so the total is over 500hp. WRC1 is in almost any way superior to Group B, except for top speed. The official top speed for WRC1, is around 200 km/h, but usually a rev. limiter kicks in, at 195 km/h. Anyway, they rarely reach that speed. Group B had a top speed at around 220-225, in race mode. But only the last season or two. The first seasons, Group B only had around 300-350hp, and the crazy numbers you hear about Group B, was only in the last few years.
These are the kind of cars that regularly will win against the trees. There are crashes where you think this is over and they will just continue. They are insanely well built.
am a rally driver my self and i have my co pilot he's letting me know wich turn that comes up in how much distance and if it is slippy or if there is a obstical in the turn we have the special belts that coonect on 6 points so we barely move in the car the average speed on rally's like this is above 130 kmh it is very dangerous every year there is rally drivers or co pilots that die in a crash but you cant be scared when youre a rally driver its alot of fun as long that nothing happens
Even F1 drivers admit these guys are simply the best drivers on the planet. That was pretty rubbish footage. You need to check some on-board footage - bloody terrifying!
You guys should take a look at group B rally. Cars in the 80s that could go up to supercars in terms of acceleration on dirt/gravel roads. I'd sugest the video Group B: when rallying got too fast
Yes, they are measuring the jumps! You can see the measuring markers on the both sides of the road at jumps :P Although, there's no points or anything being shared, just for like, a show for fans. But have heard drivers mention in interviews saying they had bet with other drivers about who jumps longest. Also another point.. there's plenty of onboard videos, but their copyrights are probably much more aggressively enforced so don't know if its really possible to react to them compared to ro these fan videos.
These look like WRC 1 drivers so usually they max out at around 200kmh which is 124kmh but usually on straights. And yes even on straights in the snow they are going 100+ mph. WRC 2-3 cars are a little slower but still mob on the road ways.
Just so you know they DON'T know the track. Rally drivers have a co-driver that read's what are called 'pacenotes', directions telling them what is coming up ahead. Watch some onboard stuff & you will hear the co-drivers reading out the pacenotes. They don't know what's coming until they get there at about 90mph, ha haa.
If speed is your thing check out The Isle of Man TT races 200mph on closed public roads it’s the most dangerous motor sport on the planet Sadly it also has the most fatalities each year.
Oh naw, you got to see the rally races Italy, taking to village cobblestone streets at 100mph. Crowd crazy ppl, don't let car crash they on it before it comes to a stop. Ready with simple strap and pull you out woods, field 😅the vineyard.
You will NEVER find an F1, Indycar, NASCAR, Le Mans etc driver that would disagree that the WRC guys are the undisputed masters behind the wheel of a car.
I can't see a WRC driver winning the F1 WDC but I also can't even imagine any F1 driving running one leg of a rally.

Carlos Reutemann is the only driver to achieve podium in F1(12 first places), Rally(WRC 2 3rd places), and SP(WEC 2 2nd places)
there are two people in a rally car, a driver and a navigator, you should check out some ONBOARD rally action to really understand what it's about
Second that - onboard makes it real as we have all looked out the front when someone else is driving...
Two, at least in these international championship races. But there are some, usually more. entry level rally serieses without co-driver

They get up to 200 km/h (electronically limited), transmissions now are 5-speed sequential gearboxes (so no clutching needed to change in between gears, just lever ir) mates to an AWD system. Automatic transmissions are not a thing in rally, though Audi tested a what I believe a 6-speed auto on Walter Rhörl's S1 E2 Quattro back in the Group B days.
These cars sound like a can of angry bees due to their anti-lag system (ALS) that prevents the turbocharger response time by combusting gasoline when off throtle, wich is very taxing on all the engine components of the car.
They have seen the track only once I believe. The Co-driver is reading navigation a few turns ahead. And they don't drive the same track twice(the same way). You don't get points for jumping. It's just about the final time after 2 or 3 days.
rally is not as good today as it was in the 80''s and early 90's Group B class was AWSOME.... they dont Exactly know the track .. the driver has a CO'pilot in the passenger seat and he reads off what bend or curve is comming next along with how sharp the turn is and if there is a jump and how severe.. basicly like a sat nav but better and faster that dose not make mistakes.
People are sat close to the road as well,Need balls of steel 😂😂😂
You wanna see real rally racing? Watch group B racing from the 80's with hundrets of racing fans on the track while the cars are passing by and nearly hitting them by inches.
Another fun fact is that they use smaller engines ranging from 3 to 4 cylinder engines which makes a lot of power. I'm talking over 500 to700hp from 2.0 liter engines
WRC cars now very limited by restrictions but still that are Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit) class cars with huge 2.0L engines forced up to 300hp with full wheel drive and sequential gearboxes (but gears change like manual just because gear change more correctly)
The Golden Age of WRC was Group B in 1980 with 500-600hp engines, that is why nowadays restrictions are from.
Rally is not a race it is the fastest transportation from point A to point B by the route that copilot is reading. But some rally stages have lap duels for 2 cars. And rally is about mud, sand, gravel, and not so much about tarmac
WRC1 uses a 1,6 l engine, with 380hp. And an electric motor, boosting another 100 KW, so the total is over 500hp.
WRC1 is in almost any way superior to Group B, except for top speed. The official top speed for WRC1, is around 200 km/h, but usually a rev. limiter kicks in, at 195 km/h. Anyway, they rarely reach that speed.
Group B had a top speed at around 220-225, in race mode. But only the last season or two. The first seasons, Group B only had around 300-350hp, and the crazy numbers you hear about Group B, was only in the last few years.
Those cars just want to go crazy. That's why the engine cries, in the air. It can't stand airtime. It feeds on snow, gravel and sand.
The rally car crash videos are epic you should do a couple of those.
The original Drifters, foot on the floor or as we call it in Aussie ....(Balls to the wall)
BTW you need to watch Bathurst Super V8's from Australia
Great reaction guys!🤘
The Finnish people are good at this sport
Youre becoming one of my favorite channels, Shane Gillis and Rally are two of my favorite things
Check on some onboard buds, it's mind blowing
Check out Ken Block GoPro Onboard at Irish Tarmac Rally!!! It’s a must!! One lap of what these guys do! RIP LEGEND 👑🏎️💨
I used to watch WRC races when I was younger.
These are the kind of cars that regularly will win against the trees. There are crashes where you think this is over and they will just continue. They are insanely well built.
You do not win against a tree. You may survive but definitely not win.
@@adventuresinmusic2487 If the car can continue the race after hitting a tree, I'm going to call that a win.
looks like finland
Y’all gotta search a better compilation. All these clips are light work compared to the other shit these drivers do.
Heavily modified cars in $500,000 range to million dollar range
am a rally driver my self and i have my co pilot he's letting me know wich turn that comes up in how much distance and if it is slippy or if there is a obstical in the turn we have the special belts that coonect on 6 points so we barely move in the car the average speed on rally's like this is above 130 kmh it is very dangerous every year there is rally drivers or co pilots that die in a crash but you cant be scared when youre a rally driver its alot of fun as long that nothing happens
Even F1 drivers admit these guys are simply the best drivers on the planet. That was pretty rubbish footage. You need to check some on-board footage - bloody terrifying!
These cars are averaging over 70 mph on the forrest tracks. So in places they are a lot faster than that speed.
smaller than a Focus. Fiesta!!
You guys should take a look at group B rally. Cars in the 80s that could go up to supercars in terms of acceleration on dirt/gravel roads. I'd sugest the video Group B: when rallying got too fast
Yes, they are measuring the jumps!
You can see the measuring markers on the both sides of the road at jumps :P
Although, there's no points or anything being shared, just for like, a show for fans. But have heard drivers mention in interviews saying they had bet with other drivers about who jumps longest.
Also another point.. there's plenty of onboard videos, but their copyrights are probably much more aggressively enforced so don't know if its really possible to react to them compared to ro these fan videos.
Love to see you guys again ❤️
But Yes... You need incar clips to really understand the insanity 😉💥🫣
These look like WRC 1 drivers so usually they max out at around 200kmh which is 124kmh but usually on straights. And yes even on straights in the snow they are going 100+ mph. WRC 2-3 cars are a little slower but still mob on the road ways.
Just so you know they DON'T know the track. Rally drivers have a co-driver that read's what are called 'pacenotes', directions telling them what is coming up ahead. Watch some onboard stuff & you will hear the co-drivers reading out the pacenotes. They don't know what's coming until they get there at about 90mph, ha haa.
Look how stabile the car is when it's landing.
No jumping around
You need to watch the TT motorcycle race which is crazier than rally drivers. Over 200 mph on public roads
You think the rally racing is exciting you should see some of the crashes!
one name, K Rovanperä. keep an eye on that kid.
No practice allowed. The navigator in the passenger seat is calling out the turns, jumps and hazards from written notes on the fly.
This is why Europeans laugh at Nascar: turn left, wait for it…..turn left, wait for it….repeat.
Historic Note: All AUTO RACING has it's origin with BOOTLEGGERS trying to outrun the COPS, back during PROHABITION 1930's.
Jump, then drift…. No one does it better than the Finns.
A couple of Sébastiens may disagree😂
@@LeperMessiah2 Fair enough 👍🏻
😂😂😂
Y'all should play DiRT or WRC VR!
If speed is your thing check out The Isle of Man TT races 200mph on closed public roads it’s the most dangerous motor sport on the planet
Sadly it also has the most fatalities each year.
Every run is a new track
The GR Yaris is also such a fantastic car 🤌🏼
oh, how about the In-cab video with the Co pilot giving instructions
You might enjoy the Isle Of Mann TT bike race.
now you seen the junior stages now watch group b
need to watch driver cam rally cars
You should search for group b rally. They were absolute monsters.
Oh naw, you got to see the rally races Italy, taking to village cobblestone streets at 100mph. Crowd crazy ppl, don't let car crash they on it before it comes to a stop. Ready with simple strap and pull you out woods, field 😅the vineyard.
Now to check out the crashes.
This is the modern SAFE version of rally, check out "group B" it's scary.
The best
Rally does consist of the driver and co-driver doing a test lap to get notes on the track, otherwise there's no point in the co-driver.
They top out at 150mph when it's mostly straight
Check out Isle of man TT race or pikes peak
Check out some Group B rally.And Isle of Man TT race.
Jeder Mann, der in einer Beziehung lebt, lebt gefährlicher als diese Rallye-Piloten......
Roundabout, 130 mile an hour
Check out some old group B rally footage :)
speeds top at around 200km/h and these guys are pushing full throtle almost every chance they get
