Those were the clearest instructions I have heard from a co-driver. I would have been happy to drive that stage with him delivering those clear, concise directions, and this was the first time I had heard his delivery. The extraneous information was delivered on straight sections when there were no hazards to contend with. His motivational input would have helped me maintain that level of driving and increased my trust in his fantastic delivery.

@@michaellavery4899 A very good morning/ evening, and sorry I wasn't clearer, here in Aus we call it blind where no pace notes are allowed (stages are kept secret until you get the roadbook, usually the night before the event) Hence blind as you don't know the road over that crest, or that blind corner. A great example was the Alpine Rally in East Gippsland, Victoria last weekend, a 4 day event. One team was fully hearing impaired. We had a good, but hot time as officials, as our car is too new to be eligible for the rally. Again apologies for the misunderstanding, as I do have full vision, so far ;)
@@SwaziPrince A lot of sense actually!😃 But seriously, going by the amount of offs and crashes on notes, in Europe, and in ARC -the Australian Rally Championship, (they do use notes, as do a few of our state level events) I'm not sure, but I'd say we have less in blind events. It is different, and keeps speeds down just a bit. Check out some of the videos from the Bega Valley Rally 2022 (not mine, as that was my first time driving in a rally ;) the top drivers like Brendo Reeves in his feather-light, rwd Datsun 1600. ruclips.net/video/gXTVU7x31NU/видео.html Or one of my more recent vids, as we climb into midfield.😉
I have always loved rally! Even if you don’t know rally racing, understand pace notes, or anything about motorsports in general, we should all be able to agree that we NEED someone in our life like your co-driver! That guy seems like the most energetic, encouraging, and enthusiastic man ever! Wish I could have you co-drive with me when I take my Raptor to Baja!
Brilliant Co Driver as said those instructions were so clear some of the best i have ever heard well done that man hope you keep it going the same you could teach a lot of people a thing or two
As a navigator in off road desert racing, let me tell you, when you've got a good driver and they're ON IT! Best feeling ever. Gotta be on pace with the notes, watching the mirrors, RallySafe, radios etc, you're bombing through the roughest terrain, cars working and it just all comes together and you're just blasting! Hardest thing I've ever had to learn and get used to, but man!
PUREDEADBRILLIANT! Best rally video I watched in ages, I grew up in Scotland following rallies all over the country, this is brilliant, great future for both driver and co driver, if not in rallying then certainly on youtube. Thanks for sharing.
That, my dear fellows, was a stunning bit of co-driving AND a lovely bit of driving itself. This is exactly what one wants from a co-driver, someone who is just as invested in it as the driver. Really lovely to watch. I need to ask you and other rally drivers one question though; is there a rally car out there that’s got a set of decent wiper blades fitted? :) :) Just never seen one myself..: Brilliant, thanks for sharing.
Cracking footage!!.. love the pace note's commentary!!... it's like listening to Laurel and Hardy in a rally car!!!!!...🤣👍👍🤣..... gotta see more of these guys in action!!👌
Car people are all the same no matter where we're from. I could hear my buddies yelling from the right side of the car, just had to run it through a few "linguistical filters" "Hoose" XD
That was brilliant 😀👍👍my bum twitched several times and I'm sure I'd be in the water😂.Thanks for showing and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
Great driving and great teamwork. I never watched a rally race before. I can see the appeal. But as an American I need a louder car. Like real loud. I guess that would harm communication but if its too loud your too old.
The driver needs to know just enough to work out what to do right now. If you're at the beginning of a big straight then a simple "300 up" is plenty. If you're entering a series of fast linked corners then you'll need a lot more. I've seen WRC crews that were 5 corners ahead.
It depends on a number of factors, including how fast you are going, how closely linked the instructions are, and how many instructions the driver can keep track of. Some drivers can handle a lot, while others may only want the codriver to be one instruction ahead.
I don’t know, but something doesnae look right here. Wuz that sunshine on that mountain in the distance? In Scotland…. Sunshine ? Yer arse is out the windae son. It’s got moon landing all over it! Pull the other one. 🤔
I wonder who chose that gear ratio. Seems too short, the driver has to shift way too many times. Sure acceleration is what is desirable but that is way too short.
@@MichaelSmith420fu yes the limiter is at 5,300 rpm with lots of torque so best way to drive it is short shift, top speed around 113 mph. Could do with longer gearing.
Yeah it really didn’t like revving high! Very much had to drive it low down in the torque. This years videos in the Rally 2 car was also a torque machine but it definitely had more of a roar and could be revved higher! Listen to it launch off the line! You won’t mistake that for being electric! ⚡️

My thoughts too, super clear. I'm currently leaning notes (we have mostly blind rallies here in Australia) and often struggle with info overload.

That bit of road usually takes me 25 minutes😂😂🏴🏴🏴
The best co-driver instructions I have ever heard.
How bloody marvelous is THAT!??!?!
Fantastic fast stage and a wonderful smooth driving
Fockin teamwork right there
😂Smooth driving too. Love it
I think I need him as my life coach
Excellent timing on those pace notes. Very clear. Easily followed along
This is a really good co driver.
This is what it was like on my way home from the bar at 2am with my buddies
Only difference is in my car the passenger operated the E brake.
"Fockin' givin' it ter the end!!"
Brillant 🤪😄😜😉

He would still break the car.
Heyup Gus, I made a quick mashup of you two Party Animals. Left a link to your channel at the top. Hope that's OK. 🙏

No...."Your breaking the car Sameer!!!!"
I take it the driver knows some of those roads very well
Does an acute hairpin have a pretty bow on it ?
That's brilliant ! Contrast with the dull anodyne dross that is F1 ,keep it pinned lads :)
I think he uses reverse numbers i.e. a 1 is super shallow and a 10 is sharpest
@melody3741 that’s exactly it. 1-10 with 1 being fastest, approximately every 10 degrees per number.
Yeah that had me going for a minute.
It was cool and clear until he started reading out 6 turns ahead 😂
I’d of totally turned right into a left hander twice.
Loved that, giein it laldy there!
Wow! If anyone wants to know how to read notes, that's the way to do it. Awesome!
Erm……!
Looks a bit like the road I'll be driving down tomorrow to see a customer.
..."at the hoose"... at 4:35...where in Glasgow YOU fe then?
Awesome
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!
I've been told that navigators will often give instructions for two turns ahead, though I'm not sure that's being done very often here? ;-)

Mostly down to driver preference, you can have the notes 5-6 corners in advance but I don’t have the short term memory for that 😂

I wonder who chose that gear ratio. Seems too short, the driver has to shift way too many times. Sure acceleration is what is desirable but that is way too short.
Yes I would say it needs a longer gearing, not a big enough top speed for the stages on Mull
@@Fergus.Barlow Thanks for the reply. What suspension are you using? Reiger or another company?
@@Fergus.Barlow Were you hitting the limiter? Seems like you were unnecessarily short shifting at times..

Electric???
The engine is that quite that it certainly sounds electric! Especially with the wining of the straight cut sequential gearbox!
@Fergus.Barlow ya I kinda figured on gearbox part for the whine ... but little to no engine noise had me 😁
Yeah it really didn’t like revving high! Very much had to drive it low down in the torque. This years videos in the Rally 2 car was also a torque machine but it definitely had more of a roar and could be revved higher! Listen to it launch off the line! You won’t mistake that for being electric! ⚡️
@Fergus.Barlow I DID notice when I rewatched...a little bit a rev limiter going on 😁
Disappointing. I was hoping for another profanity filled tirade, like that Irish co-driver blocked by a slow car.
