I commend these gentlemen's ability to resist the urge of going sideways in every bend.
I mean with how much they get to do that during the stages they are probably just enjoying their break from that lol
Hard to do when it's a tailback
Plus they save the car to the stages where they really need all it can give
Funnily enough I think this road sections between stages have to be completed within a time limit to avoid penalties.
Didn't even hold back and drop it a gear in the tunnel😢
The fact that these top-tier race cars are street-legal and have to drive on public roads between stages and service parks will forever be one of the most underappreciated, coolest parts about rally. That's so freaking righteous and I love it 🤘🏼
Totally. It don’t get any cooler
Most years I stand on a bridge and watch them drive into Wales for rally GB.
Now they're forced to use the hybrid system when on public roads, it's not as exciting now days, but at least the hybrid system does muffle the sound when used on stage unlike f1
-dood well they don't HAVE to always be using the hybrid system on the road, they use the engines too, just not normally while dallying around the service park
@@theColeHardTruth from what I know they get a fine for using the normal engine
I think this entire thing is quite crazy. You will never see any type of other motorsports where the racecars themselves are driving to the event rather than being towed by huge commerical trucks. Then again, most racecars don't have indicators and actually do fit standard car regulations. And its much cheaper doing it this way anyway, and much cooler.
I've heard that they're road legal only at the time of the event. Other than that it's basically still a non road legal race car. Still pretty cool though
@@alieffauzanrizky7202 Yeah I always thought this is why they always have stickers of the rally they are participating in.
They are road legal outside of events and use the public roads as road sections between stages. 'In theory', they have to comply with the speed limits etc on the road sections.
@@alieffauzanrizky7202 The bodywork and chassis are always road legal, but they don't meet emissions or noise restrictions
Race car being towed because saving fuel if not wrong. This car might be to test reliability
Wrc fans: wow it must a dream to be a rally drive
Wrc driver: IT HAS BEEN 8 HOURS OF JUST THE SOUND OF STRAIGHT GEARS PLS SOMEONE HELP
lol, but do they really have straight cut gears? It doesn't sound like it from this video, though they are indeed loud as hell
@@TotalAnomy pretty much all rally cars have straight cut gears. the noise is louder from inside the car, but if you listen carefully you should be able to recognise the noise of straight cut gears, it is like a whistle interrupted by gear changes and throttle releasing.
@@ilSanna. Straight cut gears can give you maybe 1% performance advantage thanks to smaller transmission losses but you get lots of extra noise. As a result, rally cars obviously use straight cut gears and drives just use earplugs to cope with the noise.
@@MikkoRantalainen uhm yeah.. thats not the reason they use straight cut gears, they are alot harder to break than normal ones .. thats why
@MikkoRantalainen @@tezy0193 The other thing is as there are no snycros, more space is freed up for the gears themselves, once you're there, no one would want anything but straight cut.
Imagine this being simulated in the next-gen sim-rally game
please I want an open world rally sim like that
considering on how small the market is i doubt it
@@zhsome8039 or rather the sport needs the video games to grow its market. many fans start following rally through RBR, colin mcrae rally, etc. WRC games of the last decade had been half-assed or under-marketed. the upcoming EA WRC 23 will be crucial.
@@MrRay168 Because all of them sucked, next one coming out should be a good one
that'd be so fucking boring
This is the part of rallying that many don't see. Sure, it's exciting and fun on the special stages, but fully a half of a rally is spent driving between stages, to and from the service park, and the like. They are also timed on these parts of the rally, and if they arrive too early or too late, they can incur some pretty gnarly penalties. The organizers will drive between the stages a month or so before and time it, and then give the drivers in the rally cars, who must obey all traffic laws, speed limits, et al, something like +/- 5 minutes of that baseline time to get between places. Arrive at 6 minutes after time? -10 seconds on your entire rally time, etc.
That's why the co-driver is named that instead of "navigator" or some such, as a co-driver is allowed to drive the car between stages to give the regular driver a rest, as well as the co-driver is in control of the all important time sheet. That little slip of paper they hand out the window at the end of stage to get their time recorded and signed off on is literally God in a rally. You lose that, you are disqualified. No ifs, ands, or buts
Thanks for that. Peace
i read allat
that happened during Rally Portugal 2023. The timesheet wasn't handed to the marshalls and got fined 10,000 Euros. I think it was Theirry who got penalized
Sooo its just like getting to work on time otherwise your boss gets mad.
That wouldn't work in the UK. There's roadworks every mile you travel. 😅
3:45 dude definitely ran the red light 😂
thats also what I thought.
You can clearly see the license plate A-6765 but we dont know who it was as we only see the back.
Though there are only so many Toyotas. And we see Rovänpera have A-6764 and Taka has A-6757 from other shots. So the only one left is Elfyn Evans, he ran the red light
This is one of the many reasons why rally is literally the coolest motorsport in the world.
It must be a torture for these guys driving at maximum 60-70 mph
would absolutely love trying to join the service park missing a wheel or two
Yep it certainly does!! I have an Evo 3 with 440hp amazing fun when its on song/boost...its like...quick!! find another gear!!! find another gear!!! Find another gear!!!
maybe, but in interviews f1 deivers have said they enjoy driving road legal speeds. they find it kind of relaxing, and they don't really have the urge to drive fast because they do it all the time.
I'm not anywhere near a wrc driver, but it can be a lot of fun (providing every thing is going well, ie no mechanical or time issues) driving the transport stages. Nothing like going down the main street with flames and "gunshot" sounds out the back ;)
60-70 km/h...
I remember a few years back I was on my way to Anglesey for a race weekend, took the A5 for the nice scenic route. Without realising, it was the same weekend that the British Rally Championship were in Wales, and my Dad and I were basically car spotting as we were driving along some beautiful Welsh roads. Subarus, Toyotas, Fords, the whole lot were covered in mud just driving along the road, was really cool to see!
Didn't even know this was part of the sport. Makes me love it even more!
they are not racing here
@jiajia oioi yeah I figured, I just assumed they were trailered between stages, I didn't know they actually drove the cars there. That's what's cool to me.
@@jiajiaoioi Well, technically they are still on time, haha
@@PauleyDucati yeah it is pretty wild concept that these cars are street-legal. but it make total sense, since special stages are mainly public roads.
@@raidkoast heh better not to get stuck in traffic then
Safer than 99% of cars on the road.
besides at 2:05 lmao
@@cambino66the race driver got to him lmao
When WRC was still in Wales a few years back, I had the most incredible experience on my local B-Roads, with the Hyundai factory team coming barrelling up behind me, as I drove my (V8) Audi S4 to town to watch them go to the service area. I went as fast as I could on the bends for him, which was fairly easy of course in my road car, just trying to get to a straight as quickly as possible so he could pass me. I put my window down on the approaching bend, and signalled to him to pass as the road straightened up... the NOISE WAS INSANE as it backfired through my open window on gearchange. It was just incredible and I was buzzing all day.
Very good. I once followed Sebastian Loeb for 80 km. From Sennibridge to Newport, in Wales. Rally GB. Good times. Must have been around 2011/2012 era. Good times. Citroen WRC on public roads.
Did you try to race him? Jk haha
@@liudxdx tbh if it's on a long straight, you might win. WRC cars accelerate really fast, but they max out at about 200 KPH/125 MPH.
I love that... "In memoriam.. Craig Breen." RIP Legend.
This wrc cars has really short gears so being on an highway at 70 mph must be a living hell for the ears...
Yeah also straight cut gears and no sound proofing, driving like that for hours must be hell plus trying to obbey traffic rules in a car like that
NOTHING can be more "race car with license plates" than WRC cars.
People driving their normal version of these rally cars seeing them pass by be thinking "Wow! I didn't know I own such a cool car!"
seeing them on the road is like seeing a retired famous athlete/artist
Lol Rally cars off to work like everyone else. Something charming about this.
this is one of my favorite things about rally. And having driven in a few rallies theres nothing cooler than driving a racecar on the road
In the Dakar, when in links between stages, you can find yourself driving in the highway close to the motos, cars and truks, and even meet pilots in the gas stations, it is so nice, I have nice memories when Dakar was here in Chile
0:10 “in memory of Craig Breen” at the bumper is awesome RIP Craig
These guys routinely take some of the biggest risks in motorsport, driving right to the limit on sketchy, tight, winding roads, driving very powerful, nimble cars. Despite all that, most of these clips also show them giving a very respectful following distance to the cars in front. That's because they're good drivers who understand that no matter how good you are, you can't cheat physics, and if you're tailgating you're just asking for an accident.
This has to be the ultimate flex!
When I still lived in my home country there was a rally race close by my place once. I remember 1 Subaru Impreza WRC 2004 was next to me at the traffic light driving to the race track. The car was so freaking loud.
that's the coolest thing on road! no super car can command the sheer presence of a full blown WRC car on public road! 😎
Now that's something you don't see every day. I've never seen a rally car run in-person, only sitting still at display shows.
Ford WRC livery is just frigging beautiful. The color scheme is on point.
Seeing the rally cars in a link is as beautiful or more beautiful than seeing them in the race. We lived it here in Argentina for 10 seasons with the Dakar and the world rally for 40 years.
I can tell you it happens a lot. Memorably I can remember we drove Mikkola’s s1 up the M1 from our base in Daventry for the Scottish rally, that was probably the furthest although it wasn’t unusual to put miles on a rally car from Daventry. More often than not it was because of lack of time for testing/ shake down after a rebuild.
I dont live anywhere near a WRC OR an ARA location, but it would be crazy to see one of the worlds best drivers in one of those machines just cruising down the road to the next stage. Awesome sight.
I was driving to the Welsh rally a few years ago and heard an incredible sound on the country lanes... was then overtaken on the winding roads by 3 WRC cars, tried to keep up with them for a bit but they were moving so effortlessly and my car was struggling massively 😄
That toyota gr going thru red light on 3:45 😅
yeah some of them doing dumb moves
They were also cutting people off and overtaking in corners with no visibility
@@Uniquemovievault Yeah 2:06 was dumb, and 2:50, why not just let the car in? That Yaris surely ran the red light. Still respect these drivers but maybe WRC should do more to ensure they're safely driving these stages, and not just worrying about the speed limits.
@@Poodz_ Indeed all the respect for those guys, they are maniacs (in a good way). As you said, a little more safety driving on public roads would paint a nicer picture
I have a passion for rally. These cars aren't cars. They are creations. The way they're can crash and go its crazy. And it does not seem they drift. It seems they deny drift and lift off.
Can you imagine the gear whine for hours….
and the squeky brakes
SIGN ME UP
Square cut gears, no soundproofing, non-res sport cat straightpipe exhaust, race brakes which squeal when cold, super stiff engine mounts, offroad tuned suspension... Like driving a shitbox on the road 😀but a lot of fun! Can't believe NONE of them gave it a few beans through tunnels. I also enjoyed the slowest-ever overtakes and last minute lane changes from a few of them. And how OP does that GRT-WRT look with the oversized rear spoiler. Well cool.
Yeah, that stuff doesn't bother a true car enthusiast.
@@ChristopherWoodsThey have a road mode so they can't really send it in the access roads
I'd have to resist the urge to bang it on the launch control every stop xD
This is so freakin cool 😎
0:13 _pebble hits for +1 damage_
Now i'm reminded on why rally cars have numberplates/numberplate-like stickers
hahaha me too!
fun fact: they were given temporary actual plates last year in japan
steady on road, beast at track.. 👍👍👌👌
This is exactly what they mean when they say rally car for the road
SO MANY ŠKODAS!!!! 😃💚💚💚. Btw, I feel like the Škoda Fabia Evo2, Ford Puma and Hyundai I30 are the top 3 best looking rally cars. Škoda has it's crystal clear design, Puma has it's nice curvy design, and I30 is all square-ish, all amazing, every one in different way though... :3🧡
3:46 LOL! Can't show that illegal move xD
It should be mandatory in the UK for every family to own one of these cars.
This is one of the aspects of rally that I really love. The pilots need to drive on normal public roads between stages and to the service areas.
When they finish one stage they immediatly move to the next stage, and they have a schedule and need to be on the starting line on time, but... They are also obliged to respect the Traffic rules and legal speed limits, also, the organization of the event knows the medium average of the time it takes the public roads between stages, so if the driver makes it too fast he will be at risk of immediatly being kicked out of the competition. And minor disrespects for the public roads, if observed by any official, can imply a harsh time penalization.
In simple words: Any disrespect for the public roads can imply a much bigger time penalty than a mistake on the race stages.
0:38 the id..t with the blue subaru is very calm :D:D:D:D:D
Estes carros, sim, são verdadeiros sonho para mim 😍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gotta love a good ole transit.
Love ❤️ it
So polite ❤️
But the gentlemen are always quite generous in interpreting the traffic rules. Stop signs and red lights do not apply to rally drivers. At least not here in Germany. Here they are often given police protection and guided through traffic.
Police instructions stand above signs and lights though.
Wow
The Fabia at 4:30, very nice. ❤
i cant imagine how frustrating it would be to follow road rules in those beasts of cars.
Best stuff... always goosebumps to see that beasts on the road.... yyyyyyeah jjjjjiiiiipppppiiiiii yeah
Driving in traffic has to be hell on those clutches.
I'm not sure they still do this but in older days the co-drivers would drive the cars between stages in public road. That's why they are called co-drivers instead of navigators.
Other motorsports : We need to transport our cars to the track in a shiny Rosewood boxes lined with Velvet.
Rally : Just drive there, lmao.
amazing very nice
Imagine seeing a race car missing half a rear bumper waiting for the light right next to you
Absolutely hardcore❤
Happiness one's a year in my street,
Was fun this year.
I mean the race in my street.
Pembalap sesungguhnya dia bisa menempatkan diri dimana harus kencang dan dimana harus membatasi kecepatan.
Kencanglah sesuai peruntukannya 👍
The green/white/gold Hyundai livery for Croatia 2023 🇮🇪 great tribute to the mayor of brattby #42 Craig Breen sadly missed never forgotten ❤
02:05 ez elégé Audi-BMW jellemző manőver volt, szégyen egy ilyen verseny autóval ilyet művelni.
That Toyota look like fighter jet...so amazing
I saw this when heading to the Dumfries and Galloway rally
❤❤❤
This rallye cars is all i like much, the video in utubes i like all about this
Naja, die Autos haben eine Strassenzulassung. Wenn man für die Strassenfahrt ein paar Teile abschraubt.
Lustig ist, wenn sie in eine Verkehrskontrolle geraten und dann zusätzlich zur Zulassung ein zentimeterdickes "Erklärungsbuch" gezeigt wird in dem der Hersteller bescheinigt, dass all das verbaute Zeug besser ist als das Original und den Segen des werks hat.
Wir hatten das Vergnügen einmal mit einem Wettbewerbs-Sport Quattro S1.
This was filmed in Croatia FYI
Sind schon klasse Autos.
I remember a night on the Lombard RAC rally some years ago now heading n orth to go work on a couple of stages not going slow on the M6 when we wer absolutely left in the dust By an Alitalia Stratos and i do mean left in the dust never been passed so quickly
I wonder if the co-driver simplifies the pace notes for this section.
I did TSD only, but the notes were indeed a lot simpler for those sections. Event organizers were even nice enough to usually put sensible speed limits in residential areas, near schools, sketchy bridges in offroad segments and so on, so we don't disturb the local population when driving from one timed segment to the next.
@@gcolombelli That's good of them.
I wouldn't have complained as a school boy.
0:06 did he just overtake, on a red light, on a fucking crosswalk?
현대.. 자랑스럽다
RIP Craig Breen ☘
Yes officer it's stock
Maybe those are rally cars, but just few of those are wrc's
most are part of the WRC championship. Rally1 and Rally2 cars. Others seem to be other Rally series, but most in the video are Rally1, Rally2 it seems
I really love this thing about Rallye, that they have to move the cars on public roads, unlike all those amazing circuit racing machines
and thumbs up when they actually obey traffic rules / speed limits
El yaris es pequeño pero brutal❤
👍 so good
I have a thing for the wrx, so when I saw it, my heart jumped 😅
Lol it looks so wrong because I'm used to see these car in videogames 😂
These should all have signs on the back “follow me to the next stage”
2:13 💪🏻
In 2 kilometers MEDIUM LEFT MEDIUM LEFT
Feels like this rally cars are commuting to work
Omg rally car are sool cooll
I saw a Ford Fiesta rally car in the Lake District (UK) a few weeks ago, I think it was being tested. I believe M-Sport are based near there
Id have these at the lights
0:14 😢its hurt tho
Were you also driving through Slovenia?
So-called silent modified cars are loud on the street and full modified beast silent on the street, thats what we called PROFESSIONAL
if you see this clip it means you need to upgrade your daily car into a rally car
I imagine it's like a fighter pilot, being on a commercial aircraft. Hey it's nice advertisement if you think about it though; by seeing the cars that'll actually be racing.
Quaack! 3,47 Direkt über Knallrot gefahren!
Just my daily
Are the driver using Race Suits when they driving in public road?
Local police: "Please, PLEASE! please observe local speed limits. Pretty please"
