Great video. Love the lesser known stories. The btcc has a tonne. Infinity and the Mazda 323f. Your videos fill a nice niche of Motorsport. You also can do stuff on cheats. Smokey yunick is a wild ride.
There are some exceptions to the rule of Rally-F1 drivers, like Robert Kubica (of course). One might say that he only won a single GP racebutit was a race he spectacularily crashed of the year before - Canada. Just before winning Canada he scored 2nd position in Monaco and was leading for some part of the race. Other podiums as well. If not for the accident, he had a very good chance at becoming a Champion. He did win the WRC2 championship in 2013 though and in regular fashion messed with factory drivers in a RRC spec DS3, like his 5th place finish in Germany. Other notable mention is Valteri Bottas, although he competed in local rallies only, I think.
Black, round. Pirelli. I was so glad to watch his final years as a factory driver and to see him still winning rallies. And that all of that happened with Subaru.
Honestly when i first saw the Mercedes V8 supercar it intrigued me being visually distinct from the other cars mind you this was in 2018 a few years after they left the sport in a league i did run a holden for their one off Supercars championship i didn't place that well because i was still an amateur compared to other drivers who would lap entire seconds faster makes me wonder though what if i drove the Mercedes instead
I always saw the V8 Supercars as the perfect example of Australian Manufacturers chickening out and banning the competition, rather than taking them on. It's very creation was a response to the R32's domination in Group A. "Should we make a car that can beat the GTR? Nah, let's just make it illegal instead." And in the end of the day, V8 Supercars suffered the same fate of the Ozzy car industry. How fitting.
Surprise face moment
10:25 Fantastic mock German accent. It both sounds German enough to sell the effect, while clearly being a mock accent, selling the joke.
The current gen Supercars actually facilitating new manufacturers to join since iirc they allowed many body styles.
Who would bother entering? I've heard rumours of Alfa Romeo but that's just a beautiful daydream. Super cars will probably go the way of DTM sadly. Unless they worked with the Jtcc and dtm. Make a new ruleset that meant making a car would qualify for three championships.
Is that horsepower limit on “outsiders” a norm in motorsport? Seems like such an odd rule that doesnt promote competition
They wanted to gatekeep Supercars to become an Australian sport, even though even the last Holden that raced in Supercars wasn't even an Australian made car
It’s common to have rpm, compression, power, displacement, and induction limits. It’s also common that those limits add up to incentivizing a certain type of engine. In this case, it favored the engines of Holden & Ford at a design level. Mercedes could have made a bespoke engine optimized to the V8 rule set, which likely would have been power competitive, but it would likely make very little sense. It’s not like they’d put that engine in anything they sell other than like, 6 V8 supercars to their factory team and maybe 2 more to a privateer. That said, the explicit “Engine built outside X borders can’t have more than Y horsepower” is less common, but where it’s common, it’s almost always some sort of explicitly domestic racing series. Usually, though, it’s achieved less explicitly. For example, a hypothetical Japan-domestic-exclusive series in the 2000’s could have set a rule saying “2.0 - 2.8L turbos are allowed up to 1,000hp. Supercharged engines of any displacement are restricted to 750hp. All other engine formats are restricted to 650.” Sure, it doesn’t explicitly say most Hyundai and Chevrolet engines are banned, but… they’d all be pretty heavily penalized, while all of Japan’s well established at the time rally manufacturers would have held a big advantage.
still a few sound mixing issues, but man, has your video production improved!
great video tho, not much light is ever put on this car and I've always loved it from forza!
Do the V8SC Nissan Altima next !
I want to know if this Altima V8 Supercar is good or not. Something about this Altima just got me curious.
@ruddgrandprix-speedrunraci8515 , it was no good. Only promising non Ford or GM was the Volvo entry. But Volvo only provided 2years factory backing, then withdrew the car.
@@michaelb6729 I see.
The true Big Altima Energy
@@michaelb6729yeah, then Volvo went to WTCC only for them to be replaced by Lynk&Co since they had been bought not long before

I love the Thrustmaster sponsorship. Relevantly connected. Because things that go vroom.
Congratulations on the sponsorship
No lie detected here, Had a G29 fail on me after 3 months but my T248 has run flawlessly for over a year, isn't nearly as loud as the G29 either
Failed Racers uploads -> my day is saved It's also great to see you improving in audio quality etc., keep up the great work!
if you think that it's up to luck whether you go nose down off the jump you are incorrect, that happens if you brake last second before the jump and shift the weight of the car to the front, you have to stay in the throttle when you hit the jump even if you're lifting before it
I'm not sure which part of the video implied that it's luck. It's all to do with driver inputs and aero balance. The newer cars are more aero dependent so they will change pitch midair towards the end of the car with more downforce. There's no "luck" in physics.
Black round Pirelli.
5:08 "due to his lack of talent" savage💀
The p88 is icon in my opinion
Heartbreaking content mate. Been a hell of a ride for the r8 tho, in remember when some gt3 series felt like audi Cup races and now we get to see them fade from competition and only show up in smaller series. Let's see what the future brings for gt racing
A lot of work went into this. Great video. Good job.
Well considering many regulars like Katsuta or Gus Greensmith Kimi in his first seasons did exceptionally well, I think he has a stage win to his name as well. Crashing well Tanak pushes way beyond limits nowadays.
im curious how good it would have worked had it been designed right
at 3:00 - its ruuhimäki stage, 10km from my home. originally there was no big jump at the finish.. but actually when you see tailstrikes it is due to driver's fault, not downforce, its because they keep the the throttle wide open, also when they land on nose, its because they brake too much at the jump. correct way is to slightly brake before jump and then keep on throttle.
Yep, that too, it's a bit of both. For example, the Toyotas used to always jump nose down until they made a rear wing change, so the different cars have different jump characteristics, but also the driver has a big influence on it too.
@@FailedRacers of course of course, but more generally for those older wingless cars :D
soo in an Alternate universe, where the P88 broke down and never have done the top speed record, we would see a eaxctly 400 kph Bugatti veyron instead via the Sauber C9 (that or he will make his wondercar with Porsche against the chagrin of his clan to make it an Insult to Injury against Mercedes, which is also based on Stuttgart)
Imo LMDh regs are "LMP2 on steroids".
no
It's not "Faféi" it's Fafe.
I loce that the Evo video is fron the SPANISH Public TV... because yes, WRC USED TO BE FREE, IN PUBLIC TV Thats why i dont pay the subscription
oioioi black square Michelin I believe.
4:59 "evil country" 😭😭✋
yeah, rally drivers have som really big balls. thats why i like motorsport more than for instance football.
the mention of the cheeseburger bet was the best part of this video! also nah i think Mercedes in the le mans races have better flying cars than Citroen in rally haha
Bwwoaaaaa
Do you edit videos yourself? If yes, great job!
Yeah, I edit them myself
Revenge is best served cold.
Before Bunnings was a warehouse, it was a rather small hardware store that sold a lot of wood harvested from its own plantations and processed in its own timber mills. Public opinion was not in support of logging so Bunnings parent company, Wesfarmers, moved the plantations and mills to a new company, Sotico, so Bunnings would be free to expand into what it is today.
Step away from the kaleidoscope button, RIGHT NOW!!
Whenever the kaleidoscope stuff shows up, there's a bit of footage I couldn't use, so I just put that to fill the gap
Enjoied this video way more than I thought I would. Well done! Highly recommended.
the Elon bashing gave you a like :D
I know Gran Turismo 7 doesn’t have the most realistic physics but this car has almost no front end grip on acceleration in the game.
