"Tree, tree, TREEEEE!!! Aaaaaaaargh, fknell that was close! Don't cut, POooST!!! Throuhh NARROW GAAATE!!! STOP THE BLOODY CAR I WANT TO GET OUT!!" what i'd sound like as a co-driver.
@@arnodobler1096 it simple, in southern finland its moose, and normal deer - further up north its reindeer. as long you know where youre driving identifying what is going to kill you is easy. I live here, and had at least one such animal on my fender - gotta keep your eyes peeled when you drive around here these animals sometimes just wait in the ditch and jump on the road when they hear you coming. evolution has not prepared them for steel monsters going 100 km/h (in normal driving, not ralley) Good reason why we have the hunter on speed dial (for mercy killing) and a bullbar in front of the radiators. And the fridge full of roadkill.
This is why Nascar cannot even compete. Nascar is always on asphalt circuts. Where you have laps. Rally is all about time and you drive on asphalt, on gravel, on icy roads, everywhere. Because of that it is unpredictable, spectators are very (to close in my opinion) to road, and terrible accidents happen from time to time. Nascar is dangerous but not near the danger of Rally. Rally is considered to be pinacle of motorsport and gaves adrenalin not only to drivers but specators as well, you need to have quite a skills to master rally and no matter how elite you are, how good your reaction are, danger lurkes on every corner and accidents can happen. First time i watch in real rally, when a car (i think it was some peugeot) fly litterally in front of me, i almost fainted. Fear, adrenalin, enjoyment, all in one package and later when i actually drive with real rally driver on a road, when i exit the car, i couldnt walk, such fear and adrenalin in same time. Big respect to rally drivers, you really really need the skills, not everyone can drive it.
For me this is easily the best motorsport on the planet, nothing else comes close. The driving skills required are just next level and the cars are so tough with race teams that can rebuild some horrendous damage in just a few hours. Night stages are great and well worth going to see if you get the chance.
yup, 100% the guy was already counersteering before the full weight of the car was back on the wheels again and expecting the car to whip over to the other side so he can do the same again, all this in less than a second. Watched it like 8 times, absolutely mental.
Gentlemen, love your work. If you want to appreciate a night rally it means you have to go and stand in a freezing cold, spooky, pitch black forest, often snowing. I was lucky enough to see the group B cars go through Kielder forest when I was a yoof. You don't see the cars, only lights, until they've passed you, then you still can't see them because the car lights are so bright the retinas are fried. Then you have the noise, like a thousand banshees in a barbed wire bucket, immense in that silent forest. And gone, screaming off. Every petrol head should stick it on the B list.
I can remember when the RAC rally come down into Somerset and watching the cars going through the Luxborough woods at night. An unbelievable experience.
Europe is its own type of freaky too, don't forget that. Also Rally has its rules. In WRC you usually have several races in that area. All have to be done with THE EXACT SAME CAR. So teams try their best to bring it home. Even if they mess up one part of it there is a few more they can catch up on the next day. They do have a limit on what they can do to the car, and by the end of the week some cars tend to look quite... funky.
My first car was a 1.9 gti. I paid £650 for it. Wish I still had it. Would be worth a small fortune now. Unfortunately it went were most young lads first cars go, the scrapyard!
7:15 -- This is true drifting. The first time I saw American "drift racing" all I saw were cars spinning their tires endlessly while moving slowly around the track. That isn't drifting, that's destroying your tires while getting nowhere fast. There are many more examples of true drifting shown throughout this video. Rally Drivers are incredible. (Well, the best ones are). By the way, if you guys want to watch a couple of awesome documentaries about Rally racing, I would suggest "Dust to Glory", and "Dust 2 Glory". They are incredibly well done and quite entertaining to watch.
Great compilation. BTW guys: you were stunned by the fact, that the first guy was racing in darkness. Well: the best Rally drivers do have a photographic memory. Walter Roehrl (the GOAT) once stole minutes (sic!) in a single round during Rally San Remo in the 70's from his competitors. It was at night and on that night there was fog. But when Walter did that round, he was following his "inner film/movie" as he described it. So, the readings from the road book by his career long partner in crime, his co-pilot Christian Geissdoerfer was only something like a confirmation for what was going on in his mind.
I have been to a rallying event and witnessed how INSANE these drivers are!! I think my adrenaline level was higher than the driver's was! These drivers use three rules. Flat Out and Airborne, Flat Out and Sideways or Flat Out and Both! What amazes me the most is even up until the 1980's they were still using the 'Standard H' manual transmissions. This means most of the time they were driving with only one hand on the steering wheel! Almost all modern rally cars are fitted with sequential 'Push-Pull' transmissions to make the driving 'easier'. The safety features in these cars are so good you could probably drive head on at a wall at speed and still walk away!
My dad did rally driving back in the day. I grew up with him and his co driver working on the car every weekend. Had a big roll cage in it that was some serious metal. I thought it was so cool. Now he marshals rally’s rather than drives. But he always taught me where to stand - most important by a big tree so if the car does happen to head your way you can jump behind it! I used love hearing how they would communicate the corners, the when the direction and degree of sharpness etc.
39 seconds in and you're watching the legend that is/was Colin McRae - always on the limit and many a time over the limit but the most spectacular driver to have driven the WRC stages!
If you can track it down(I can't find it online, I saw it on a VHS years ago), there is a truly amazing on-board clip of Colin McRae driving a night stage(possibly the old-style RAC Rally in GB) not only in the dark but in thick pre-dawn fog that meant his headlights were causing a total whiteout(barely see to the end of the hood/bonnet stuff). Not a problem though, as he just turned the headlights off and proceeded to drive the whole stage flat out, essentially totally blind, on nothing but a mix of co-driver Nicky Grist's pace notes and some form of god-like telepathy(or the best evidence i've seen for the existance of such things). Truly legendary driving from a truly legendary driver.
That sand drift was epic. I'm assuming there's some practice involved ahead of time but just the sheer control and knowledge of the surface to come out of that slide at almost the exact right spot was awesome.
in rallying its all about getting the car to the end. at certain stop points they can get mechanics to work on the car, but on the stage only the driver and navigator are allowed to work on the car. there is famous case of a top rally driver losing control and drove his car into a lake, fully submerged. the team waited until the end of the day, pulled it out. spent all night working on it and the next day it lined up. out of the race for winning but still able to get points for the team overall. there is one famous video of a rally car rollling down a highway between stages on three wheels with the navigator hanging out of the window to balance the car, cops pulled them over, then gave them an escort to the maintenance stage to be repaired lol.
In the UK most of the amateur Rallying takes place at night in the dark, and out in the countryside usually in the winter months to avoid other road users . Its part of the rally culture. Been to watch a few and it is always freezing cold. 👍
I remember when my neighbour convinced his mom to buy a peugeot 106 with 100cv, the mom thinking she was buying a small everyday car for goind shopping and visiting grandma. He was so happy when he turned 18 yo and get the car license.
If you'd like to check out a rally in person and are near Missouri, the 100 Acre Wood Rally is coming up next month. I'm certain they race in other states as well, just have to find the schedule
this few drifts with front wheel drive cars are beautiful and the croud apreciates them every time. just the sound. And when you experience it live, you can't stop loving it
One of my friends said ,,But F1 drives at night too". I was like yeah they do but the track is lit up. The only light in Rally at night is attached to the car
The wrc roll cages are very, very similar to nhra 26 or 29 point cages. That's how they ably to climb out of the river after the fall of the bridge, etc.
when you see them going into a corner and they turn one way then suddenly flick the car around the corner is called the scandanavian flick looks nuts when done properly.
Rally car Rollcages are some of the safest Rollcages in existance. There is a famous video of a driver with his navigator just chilling in their seats as they roll during a crash. Like it's just another day at work.
Rally is very cool, but if I might make a recommendation for a very niche motorsport that people don't react to much, Formula Offroad is incredible. It originated here in Iceland and features some wacky stunts like driving up a sheer sand bank or hydroplaning across a lake. They also went to the U.S a few years back to show the sport to some offroad enthusiasts and it was one hell of a show
The Funniest thing is.. We Europeans are totally accustomed to this kind of motorsport. to the point that we don't even blink if someone misjudges a corner..😆
A lot of these clips were cut short. When they have a crash and they still have all 4 wheels and the engine running, they just keep going, even after a roll over.
It would be cool to make some NASCAR driver to sit as a co-driver in a rally car while it makes a practice run. There are several clips of different journalists and tv hosts taking the ride.
I have been watching motorsports for a long time but I truly didnt know how insane WRC really was until you guys put this video together. The cars are DIFFERENT, the drivers are DIFFERENT , the terrain is DIFFERENT and the crowds are DIFFERENT. This and the The Isle Of Man TT make all other racing little kids stuff. Honorable mentions though: Top Fuel Drag and Baja Off Road.
11:56 modern wrc cars have a pedal on the codriver side that closes the air intake. In situations where they go fast through a deep puddle the codriver uses the pedal to close the air intake while the car goes through it so that the wave created in front of the car doesn't get sucked in and destroy the engine. The ammount of skill that codrivers need often gets overlooked. A lot of people say things like: "they just have to read notes" but what they don't realize is that those guys need to know where on the track they are without having looked at where they go from the start, they need to remember how fast they have to read wich sections and they also need to be able to do basic fixes on the cars like changing tires. Also the trust between driver and codriver must be insane. The driver has to trust that what the codriver says is actually what will happen in the time they agreed on (depending on the driver the notes might be 2-4 turns ahead) while the codriver has to trust that the driver actually does what he tells him to do
You were awestruck by the car that kept going after going off into the water. But I don't think you realized that the green/white Skoda that went off into the building (you talked about being late for thanksgiving) also got going again. Top rally drivers/co-drivers are a not human
If you enjoy rallying you guys should check out the 'Circuit of Ireland' rally series. Particularly the 'International Rally of the Lakes' Kerry or the Donegal rally. Alot of the videos you see of cars on roads barely wide enough to fit a car in these rallying compilation are roads in Ireland. Irelands 2 main motorsports are the circuit of Ireland rally series and the Irish Road Racing championship (Bikes, the full road racing season for some of the big names of the IOM TT).
The country with most elks (moose for North Americans) in relation to its size is Sweden with around 300,000 (about 68,000 gets killed each year during the annual hunt). That's about 20% more than the closest US state (Maine). Canada and Alaska has about 1/3 of that and Russia 1/10. 20 years ago we had closer to 400,000 here.
The skill that these drivers have is insane and the race team has probably the best mechanics in the world. Also the reason why the driver and the co-driver can easily walk away is cuz these cars are built like tanks, they have insane safety regulations, probably the strictest in the world
Great clips really exciting scenes. Hi guys I loved your reactions to the IT Crowd, and I want to suggest your next Comedy series from the UK. I would love to see either. "Shooting Stars" which you have seen a clip of already. "Facejacker" - The best real life set up comedy I've seen in the last 25 years by far. "BoSelecta" - Not sure if you've seen it, but its UK comedy gold. These 3 comedies all exceed "The IT Crowd" by far in my opinion and it would be a great way to finish the year and welcome 2024.
You do get the sense that the driver might be on it a bit. The co-driver has to sit there and put up with this. Reading out instructions from time to time like FFS don't crash.
I think it's hard to understand how crazy stiff really cars are... They're strong enough to kill you for deceleration causing internal failure... Modern cars are able to sustain up to 70g
Best way ive heard rallying summed up was this. A race driver sees a corner 100 times a rally driver sees 100 corners 1 time. Its also as much mental as physical, you need to be able to memorise and visualise where you're going as you may get problems along the way (hood flys up, lights fail etc) you need to able to get out of the car, diagnose a problem and get it fixed as quick as you can as seconds count. Personally if you want to see how mad rally crowds can be have a look at the group b era cars would pass where the crowd would part sometime milliseconds before the car hit them, wasnt uncommon to find the ends of fingers or bits of clothing fabric that had notched onto a rally car during the stage when they got to the checkpoint at the end.
I love your reactions to these rally videos. Wouldn't it be a great idea to combine the Finland Rally with a Nightwish concert? That would be an experience of a special kind.
i remember the driver and the co driver untied their shoe laces and tied it to the windscreen wiper and they were pulling it across the screen as their wiper wasnt working...
I think it is finally time for you chaps to react to the amazing history of Lancia by channel Donut Media. The greatest rally car manufacturer in history, 11 titles (6 of which back to back) and crazy engineering and innovation. Plus, it's been declared "The coolest car make in history" by Top Gear and that's enough said
Canada and Russia? The big Rally countries are Finland, Norway and Sweden, all 3 of these, together with most of the smaller countries around the Baltic sea have moose populations far denser than Canada and Russia. Canada and Russia only have around 50 moose per 1000km². Sweden has over 500 moose per 1000km² and Norway and Finland over 100 moose per 1000km².
I bet if you stick your head in the cockpit of any of the cars who crashed here, even that first hard rollover, they will be in first gear after the wreck. That driver was ready to set off afterwards. The car just wouldn't let them. Rally drivers are a different breed.
haha the backrounds show you guys are very different. One of you have some old junk on the garage shelf and an ugly curtain henging halfway up, and the other have an sweet "studio" setup with nice lighting and very nice sport effects
Theres a great documentary called madness on wheels, rallys crazy years that you might want to check out. Also a similar f1 documentary called grand prix the killer years, just shows how far safety has come
Spectators crowding onto the roads trying to touch the cars as they drove past (in some cases LITERALLY LOSING FINGERS), the looooong arduous Stages and the cars being bloody difficult to drive are the three main contributing factors that ended Group B! And I'm not joking about losing fingers, either! There are reports of the team back at base fishing out fingers from the Delta S4's side air intake, which you can see on the rear quarter of the car, jus behing the side windows and in front of the rear window! Yeah, the 80s were nuts, man! In fact, Rallying is almost its own Difficulty Level, like Legendary in Halo, though, I think it would be fair to say that Paris-Dakar is the equivolant of Halo's LASO, the hardest game mode I have ever encountered!
Hey guys, would there be any chance of doing some more sidecar not just isle of man TT, my grandad was a sidecar racer, he was the maniac on the side lol, that was in the 50s before safety was involved. His name was Francis Knights Derbyshire England, I think you guys will find it fascinating and scary lol, he raced with the legend Rodger Dixon, thanks guys love your videos 😊 I've been watching reaction videos since 2019, and you guys are my favourite normal sounding Americans lol
No guys, if you see an Subaru Impreza 555, it doesn't always automatically mean Colin McRae. He also had colleagues in the team, e.g. Carlos Sainz, Pierro Liatti, etc., who drove in a car of the same color. It depends on which year of the championship it is.
Gentlemen. Great vlog. See if you can find the video about the end of group B rallying on here . The cars were mental. With relaxed crowd safety .So obviously it got banned.👍
Left in 100 yards....tight corner...right, right...long straight...MOOSE! MOOSE! MOOSE!
"No it's a reindeer" "No it's a moose!"
That's why married couples are so rare in rally sport😂

4:15 is a Peugeot 205. Great little car. Especially the 1.9 diesel and the GTI versions. Widely rallied.
My first car was a 1.9 gti. I paid £650 for it. Wish I still had it. Would be worth a small fortune now. Unfortunately it went were most young lads first cars go, the scrapyard!

Man see car go fast, man happy!!
Basic day for Finnish outskirts mail man.
The country with most elks (moose for North Americans) in relation to its size is Sweden with around 300,000 (about 68,000 gets killed each year during the annual hunt). That's about 20% more than the closest US state (Maine). Canada and Alaska has about 1/3 of that and Russia 1/10. 20 years ago we had closer to 400,000 here.
@9:08 Is Sutton Bank in NorthYorkshire - If he'd screwed that turn there is a rather high and steep drop beyond the crowd.
The skill that these drivers have is insane and the race team has probably the best mechanics in the world. Also the reason why the driver and the co-driver can easily walk away is cuz these cars are built like tanks, they have insane safety regulations, probably the strictest in the world
winter rally.. thats a normal day here in Finland when you are late from work XD
Great clips really exciting scenes.
Hi guys I loved your reactions to the IT Crowd, and I want to suggest your next Comedy series from the UK.
I would love to see either.
"Shooting Stars" which you have seen a clip of already.
"Facejacker" - The best real life set up comedy I've seen in the last 25 years by far.
"BoSelecta" - Not sure if you've seen it, but its UK comedy gold.
These 3 comedies all exceed "The IT Crowd" by far in my opinion and it would be a great way to finish the year and welcome 2024.
They go faster and through narrower gaps than privately owned vehicles.
Somewhat like rental cars.
You do get the sense that the driver might be on it a bit.
The co-driver has to sit there and put up with this. Reading out instructions from time to time like FFS don't crash.
All the lower level rally cars are privately owned, bty.
My first (officially owned and registered) car is a rally car 😁
I think it's hard to understand how crazy stiff really cars are... They're strong enough to kill you for deceleration causing internal failure... Modern cars are able to sustain up to 70g
Best way ive heard rallying summed up was this. A race driver sees a corner 100 times a rally driver sees 100 corners 1 time.
Its also as much mental as physical, you need to be able to memorise and visualise where you're going as you may get problems along the way (hood flys up, lights fail etc) you need to able to get out of the car, diagnose a problem and get it fixed as quick as you can as seconds count.
Personally if you want to see how mad rally crowds can be have a look at the group b era cars would pass where the crowd would part sometime milliseconds before the car hit them, wasnt uncommon to find the ends of fingers or bits of clothing fabric that had notched onto a rally car during the stage when they got to the checkpoint at the end.
You must check out B- class rally and wrc Finland flat out.
I love your reactions to these rally videos. Wouldn't it be a great idea to combine the Finland Rally with a Nightwish concert? That would be an experience of a special kind.
we have more than just one band in finland. why does it have to be nightwish all the time.
And it should be done in an American car! That would be more wacky racing than rally racing!
Had to subscribe, you guys just crack me up very funny, keep it up.
The in car view is the most terrifying
The general rule for rally is in fact, does it still drive? Then finish the race.
When the rear wheel is the first thing to go through a corner, it‘s either Rally or you are in big trouble.... maybe both
i remember the driver and the co driver untied their shoe laces and tied it to the windscreen wiper and they were pulling it across the screen as their wiper wasnt working...
A lot of those drivers are amateurs that go out rallying at the weekends just for shits and giggles 😁
'Tell me you're late for Thanksgiving dinner without telling me!' :) :) :)
Now you know why we Brits feel Nascar is a little tame
Guys Hardy Bucks is the next show you need to watch no one else did yet
It about irish guys on benifiit its Goated
I think it is finally time for you chaps to react to the amazing history of Lancia by channel Donut Media. The greatest rally car manufacturer in history, 11 titles (6 of which back to back) and crazy engineering and innovation. Plus, it's been declared "The coolest car make in history" by Top Gear and that's enough said
Rally is so fun to watch
Dude on the right just sitting like "😮" the whole video 🤣
2 left in 2 right minus, 100, 50, 3 right in 4 right in 2 left minus in long 4 left.
One of the champion rally drivers should try nascar
Canada and Russia?
The big Rally countries are Finland, Norway and Sweden, all 3 of these, together with most of the smaller countries around the Baltic sea have moose populations far denser than Canada and Russia.
Canada and Russia only have around 50 moose per 1000km².
Sweden has over 500 moose per 1000km² and Norway and Finland over 100 moose per 1000km².
not sure who's more insane: the drivers or the crowds...
I bet if you stick your head in the cockpit of any of the cars who crashed here, even that first hard rollover, they will be in first gear after the wreck. That driver was ready to set off afterwards. The car just wouldn't let them.
Rally drivers are a different breed.
I don't understand how anyone can be into racing and not love rally racing.
haha the backrounds show you guys are very different. One of you have some old junk on the garage shelf and an ugly curtain henging halfway up, and the other have an sweet "studio" setup with nice lighting and very nice sport effects
Theres a great documentary called madness on wheels, rallys crazy years that you might want to check out.
Also a similar f1 documentary called grand prix the killer years, just shows how far safety has come
and what is crazy is that in rallying there are cars like Porsches, Lambos, anything can rally
Us Brits have balls ❤ Love it
Spectators crowding onto the roads trying to touch the cars as they drove past (in some cases LITERALLY LOSING FINGERS), the looooong arduous Stages and the cars being bloody difficult to drive are the three main contributing factors that ended Group B! And I'm not joking about losing fingers, either! There are reports of the team back at base fishing out fingers from the Delta S4's side air intake, which you can see on the rear quarter of the car, jus behing the side windows and in front of the rear window! Yeah, the 80s were nuts, man! In fact, Rallying is almost its own Difficulty Level, like Legendary in Halo, though, I think it would be fair to say that Paris-Dakar is the equivolant of Halo's LASO, the hardest game mode I have ever encountered!
Hey guys, would there be any chance of doing some more sidecar not just isle of man TT, my grandad was a sidecar racer, he was the maniac on the side lol, that was in the 50s before safety was involved. His name was Francis Knights Derbyshire England, I think you guys will find it fascinating and scary lol, he raced with the legend Rodger Dixon, thanks guys love your videos 😊 I've been watching reaction videos since 2019, and you guys are my favourite normal sounding Americans lol
No guys, if you see an Subaru Impreza 555, it doesn't always automatically mean Colin McRae. He also had colleagues in the team, e.g. Carlos Sainz, Pierro Liatti, etc., who drove in a car of the same color. It depends on which year of the championship it is.
ETS21, the car at 4:14 is a Peugeot 205.
You absolutely could not pay me to go in a rally car being driven like those guys do!
And in the meantime Nascar drivers are busy turning left, and only left
Fairly new to channel.
Have you looked into Ken Block's Gymkhana series, with your love of rally racing? If you haven't, it's crazy!
Rally drivers' objectives: 1. Finish first 2. Failing that, finish :)
Gentlemen. Great vlog. See if you can find the video about the end of group B rallying on here . The cars were mental. With relaxed crowd safety .So obviously it got banned.👍
you should find a rally video with the more co driver communication on what the driver has to memories during the whole stage
Just reminds me of mum doing the school run 😂
"WRC is for boys. Group B was for men" Juha Kankkunen
light cars with super strenght rollcage,that is what people need on todays road,no more dead ,lol
Finland is moose country. It can happen.
When you realise that a vehicle can turn right as well.
