As a sim rally driver I can’t imagine the level of cool these drivers have to manipulate and control these beasts with smoothness and precision in real life!!!
Don't forget that these cars have the most advanced suspension/steering technology, so these cars are kind of "easy" to drive, you can really feel what is happening even at that high speed... (way way better than at any hardcore sim rig) Those who drive these WRC/R5/WRX cars always say that they are easy to drive because these cars give them incredible feedback. Of course you have to be extremly focused while driving at this level, this is the hard part for avarage people, and to be able to focusing continously through a long and exhausting day through troubles, frustration, discomfort..., and to keep fresh and sharp in mind even on the last day, that is what separates champions from amateurs and avarage "racing drivers".
Few weeks ago Kalle Rovanperä drive his first race to Benelux Porsche cup. First race he was fourth and second race he was fifth. But he drive fastest lap at his first track race. He is most impressive talent at whole car racing. Go Kalle Go!
This talented young driver is following Sébastien Loeb rallye driver and Word champion for many years then finished second 24 th hours of Le Mans and was near to drive in formula 1 for Réd Bull after conclusive test !! A very rare diversity indeed.
Quite literally. Drivers 20 years ago started their careers in their 20s. Petter won his first title at 29, Loeb over 30. This new generation of drivers is born from those guys, and they were born and bred from the age of 5 to be rally drivers and nothing else. Guys like Kalle and Max in F1 learned to race from the age they could reach the pedals. Racing is all they've ever known. The oldschool guys have no chance against them
@@MentalParadox , yes but there is nothing wrong with that, it has, for instance, been very normal for musicians ,for ever, and it's true for IT chaps today too. Not to mention the army and the navy back in time. And chess comes to my mind too.
@@hurri7720 The natural problem with car racing is that usually you need a license to drive a car, so unless your parents put you on a go-kart or in Kalle's case gets him into a closed road, the kids themselves might not be able to have the chance to learn how to drive until they are at driving license age. And with rally, that license is needed even more so because it is assumed that the driver will be doing the liaison sections which are done on public road. Kalle did his first rally events in Latvia with a Latvian license (the windows even had the Latvian flag next to his name), because there they allowed the co-driver to do all the liaison stages and thus the driver can be underage without a driving license. But normally while the co-driver can still do the liaison, the normal licenses require the driver to hold a driving license.
@@MentalParadox but kalle was never "bred" to be rally driver, he sure started driving mopeds and atv's at age of 3 years, but his father told him that he must tell him if he want to go into rallying. so he got his first rally car at age of 8 years. first ever rally event he was driving in was in age of 11 years...
Virves did very good He was driving up there with Pajari and Solberg since saturday. And blown tire took him out before last stage, before he could secure second place.Should keep an eye on him at Latvia.
He does not have support at the moment and he cant be in Latvia, if someone wants to support him, contact with him. Finland WRC list closes soon and probably he cant be there also, next rally for him is Rally Estonia and no next rally for this year (Junior WRC champ 22).
Thanks Colin and Elliot for another great weekend! Not surprised at all by Kalle, this is classic very high-performing type of mind and character, give him a real challenge and he will bite. He is in a different league. A bit worrying for us Taka-fans to see this lack of pace, that for one has not been the problem this season, but he will be back!
Kalle and Tanak, as of my point of view, are really good and talented drivers. Driving with passion and very skilled. Something remains to great Collin. Wish both of them more safety rallies and victories ahead.
Visit Latvia stage - You'll seen never ever something like that !!! It's not "like" Poland or Sardegna.. It's only one - Latvia !!! P.S. Martin Sesks is 3rd generation in family rally driver... P.P.S. Don't forget - Oliver and Kalle starts their way in serious rally world exactly in Latvia... as teenagers...😅
Kalle just came and show everyone else how to drive rally1 car,everyone else has been doing what ever they can to get good rally but Kalle just arive nd show how its should be done.
Yep, now Neuville might have an opportunity to become WRC 1 champion. For 2024 they have arranged a new points system just to favor him. If you look up his previous placings over the years, the only reasonable chance was probably with a brand new "Neuville system", because with the "old" it has been proven that he doesn't make it all the way to the first WRC1 champion.
@@larszenthio1012 u are right . Its time he delivers & benefits from this new system . I wish we would be able to see him drive a Toyota , just for one season before he retires .
@@ShavoSoaDer They probably took that into account when they figured out the new points system, but it's always a risk. By the way, Tänak has already won once, which shows that he is a bit faster than Neuville, then in the old way of counting points.
With all due respect, but in this case there is no great praise. Poland is wrong place for WRC. The problems seen are probably due to the Polish mentality.
I love sister Basia, my soul mate, she loves me. Unfortunately Basia suflers from depression, please support her Basia also likes rallies, her favourite is Argentina Rally🇦🇷 We are from Poland🇵🇱 I was in Rally Poland 2024 it ja nice Rally but the organization of the Polish Rally is patethic. There was two drunks, luckily a muscular woman explained that they were behaving badly Apart from that, apparenthly there was a Brasilian who used pepper spray !!!
Always rooting for my fellow Belgian Neuville and now also Munster, Mikkelsen and ofcourse Solberg. But enjoy all of them flying over those stages, what a great rally weekend it was! Congrats to KR 69!!

Ford really needed that podium. Sure, it might be because of the issues Hyundai faced, but they stayed up there in the standings and fought for the podium.
Neuville will probably be a champion, just because of the twisted new points system and Kalle taking an off-year. That will be on his mind for the rest of his life when hoisting that trophy.
I still struggle how Toyota is taking points away from a driver who is fighting for the championship by allowing a racer who will only enter a couple of races this season to steal the show. Self saboutage. Bonkers 😅
It has been same with Rovanperä and Ogier past years. Ogier got many times better friday because the starting position. Didn't bother Kalle and took champions nevertheless. Toyota had chances to give couple of more wins for Rovanperä.
Sunday pace alone doesnt mean it would been "easy" weekend. Ofc he got the best tires on sunday because before sunday he got nothing to win and on sunday nothing to lose. But he will be very fast in Latvia and Finland too.
@@3M46DN1M Look s2 times before deer hit. He was attack mode first km. Sunday he was first (cleaning roads) and you are sayng he had best tires is kinda meh :)

When I get money I’ll buy one of those gr, Corolla or Yaris.

Feel sorry for Ott and the Deer 🙏♥️
He should have won
Which one? The deer?
Rally is always about “should have “ isn’t it
Gonna be hilarious if Elfyn wins the championship without winning a rally.

Thank you for another weekend of great coverage! I'm wondering though, what happend to Dirtfish live center? It's been off since Croatia.
ciao well done to all ❤🧡👍👍

Good reporting sir, thank you.
Neuville will probably be a champion, just because of the twisted new points system and Kalle taking an off-year. That will be on his mind for the rest of his life when hoisting that trophy.
Championship is a championship, point system is same for everyone and Kalle is not perfect, he crashed in Sweden and Portugal
Seb can beat all in reverse gear🎳🛞
He has not won it yet, i think Tänak and Evans are also capable to win drivers title this year.
he's done well but he hasn't driven a championship drive, only Kalle and Ogier have so far, and they're both part timers
But coming as runner up five times is not a mean achievement. He's capable of winning the title this year..
Nice 👍
