This is one of those moments in Rally where your hair stands on end and you can't look away. You're transfixed, hungry for the driver to go around that next turn or over that jump. And at that point unbelievers realize what Rally is all about. Thank you for the memories, the thrills, and the personality Colin. There will be none like you in my lifetime at least, if not for all time.
Starts with SS6 Valkola 2 - 8.42 km with a time of 4 minutes 28.4 seconds, average speed of 112.9 km/h. Just 1 second slower than Marcus Grönholm. 4:35 Stopline with Colin and Nicky talking about the time. Next stage starts at 5:01 SS7 Lankamaa 2 - 23.47 km. 9:11 scary moment, bump puts the car onto 2 wheels! Colin McRae finished Rally Finland 2001 in 3rd place. He was driving a Ford Focus RS WRC rally car.
I LOVE watching Colin McRae in action! I have the Colin McRae Rally 2005 game and the co-driver sounds EXACTLY the same in the game, although here, he sounds like he's being shaken violently while he's trying to talk LOL
amazing, 8:30 onwards is just unbelievable. Can hear Nicky is scared out of his mind. Most naturally talented driver the world has ever seen and ever will.
Ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics. Ye cannae change the laws of physics, Jim. Oh. Wait. I just watched Colin McRea driving through a forest.👍
this is perfection, my eyes cant believe how fast this is, and how he nails every single twist; hes going 4 times faster than ive ever been on a dirt road. its a pity people try and do this every weekend near me in their old holden commodores with 3 drunk teenagers for co-drivers.
hmm ignorant statement some could just like some rally drivers couldnt do nascar just like some f1 cant do nascar 2 totally different disciplines nascars are heavy and way faster.....
@@jackclass5446 "can't" and "won't" are being interchanged in your comment. Rally racers CAN and would do Nascar if there was incentive. NASCAR drivers (in this era and the eras that brought it to be popular) don't have the same cultural background that supports good rally racing and lack the generational knowledge transfer that other countries have for WRX. Your comment about F1 is just plain, as you said it, ignorant - F1 racers can literally do anything, they see lines others don't see and they know more technique for racing than NASCAR drivers. The latter having only small technique like mental endurance, mental discipline, physical endurance (specific muscle groups). It's really apples to oranges and the entire argument is stupid to begin with so I digress.
@@fkylw F1 and wrc drivers are probably equal, but F1 drivers would struggle in nascar because the cars are so different. Basically, each driver is best at their respective sport.
EPIC! that was much faster than this morning... 4 secs faster!!! WTF?? that was still a kickass driving, even 10-15secs slower would have been kickass driving. Colin you showed every1 that left foot could and should be used to brake. RIP
That is the main thing in order to make proper notes. You see, the more experienced the pilot is and the more "eye for road" he has, the more accurate the notes. It´s as simple as that. But doing it is way more complicated.
That's right! The number of the corner it's the suppouse gear that the driver must ride the turn. 1 being the thightest and 6 the most open. I hope it helps!
i think that: this means turn right on a corner of severity 4, go straight for 50 meters, and then there is crest. corners with severity 1 are the open corners, and 5 the tights, but sometimes the scale is reversed.
@Silenced140 Hi, no it's not about shifting. "Scandinavian flick" is technique used to when entering the corner. Like you see on the video, braking and then he kind a flips car from left to right hand corner just before the corner.
@Mmpp84 "ruts" - 8:30 - 8:32. Where cars have dug up the road, leaving 2 tyres tracks to follow. Bouncing in and out of the ruts can put the car out of balance, especially at high speed!
1 to 6 is the degree of the corner, 6 being the slightest of bends. plus or minus is throttle on or off. the gear is up to the driver dependant on rpm, grip levels and tyre condition etc.other calls such as distance and line are self explanatory.
Exactly! The driver is suppouse to stay in the center of the road and don't make the corner by the inside of the camber, this because there could be some obstacles like rocks or a tree that it's not clearly visible.
Some/most stages in Finland have an average speed of 120km/h and that is the maximum FiA allowed the cars to go, if faster they take away the stage and so on... I remember they hade an tarmac rally here in Sweden who a stage that the average speed were 137km/h, but that stage got erased fast :P
3+ is something between 3 and 4. 3 minus is something between 3 and 2. Maybe it means that it's not sure if for example the car will jump. The speeds during recce (pacenote writing) are not flat out, so sometimes they are not sure about a pacenote.
I love watching rally, but I know nothing about it... could somebody please explain how the co-drivers "Instructions" are meant to be followed? :P "4right 50 over crest"... and so on
"Line" is when there is a series of insignificant corners where, instead of calling out each corner individually, you just say "line" which means go up the middle in a straight line.
+Maurício Sobroza it will probably vary from driver to driver depending on what "line" means to that driver but i believe in this case it means to take a classic racing line ie: wide in tight to apex and wide out as in circuit racing

beautifully said. Colins name will be remembered for years to come. What a legend
For ever Colin
For ever rallye . Not elektromobil. Not , not, not
Man and machine in perfect harmony! R.I.P. forever a legend.

Makes sense that only a Finnish driver beats this time. This was spectacular to watch!

Co Driver Sounds The Same Because It Is The Same Co Driver.
He's also being shaken violently that's why he sounds like it
One of the best onboards ive ever watched!! Awesome
I can never complete Finland without terminal damage on dirt rally 2.0😂
Bro how i am stuck.
Try Ouninpohja of Richard burns rally 😅
excellent save at 9.18
+jsaundersmusic Yup, and that flick at 3:30. Respect.
Rest in peace Colin.
The best part about this vid is that when he hears the call "jump" he gives it some more gas!
what a hero, what a loss
R.I.P. Colin!
Colin Mcrae the man with no fears, Maximum attack always R.I.P Colin

hmm that a bold statement......

What this man was capable of is truly next level. Ken Block only has moments of what Colin McRae's life was.
little much jesus...

3:30 he slides the focus to 45 degrees to the left before taking the 5right...monster...rip
This onboard view is the reason why I still play WRC 1 on the ps2.
"DON'T CUT" at 9:17
Amazing driving. Really shows you how much Colin was always giving 110%! Unbelievable.
who's Loeb !!?? Colin will allways remain the best in my heart.
You still think nascar drivers have this degree of talent?? Dream on!
hmm ignorant statement some could just like some rally drivers couldnt do nascar just like some f1 cant do nascar 2 totally different disciplines nascars are heavy and way faster.....

@@fenwa592 thank you
The last thing we Motorsport fans need to do is divide and discriminate other disciplines of racing
oh my god this driving is amazing. he looks as if he could take the course blindfolded
The crazy part is that he makes it look effortless
Amazing driver!
thanks for the video!!
RIP colin
one of the most talented drivers ever, survives some of the most dramatic crashes ever, then dies in a chopper, tragic.
I really want the DiRT Rally Finland update now... cry.
Its out in DR 2.0 even better
'If in doubt, flat out'
Colin McRae
Really really fast... Thanks for this great video from a great drivers.
Colin was one of the great users of Scandinavian flick. Like you can see from this video.
EPIC! that was much faster than this morning... 4 secs faster!!! WTF??
that was still a kickass driving, even 10-15secs slower would have been kickass driving. Colin you showed every1 that left foot could and should be used to brake. RIP
3:25 shows who's da man!!
wow, great video. McRae forever
Grist: Four seconds quicker than this morning
...
McRae: Still not quicker than the quickest this morning?
Grist: No
McRae the next stage: 8:30
Quickest=Marcus Gronholm
I love Rally respect Colin McRae!
Yes,Colin used the numbers 1-6 which refered to gears,but he still used 6 when driving 5speed Fabia
the best ever co-pilot in wrc...rip
Legend forever ❤️
OMG at 8.40 .... Colin was awesome !
EPIC driving
Yeah, I imagine it's different with different co-drivers. I learned that system from the Colin McRae game I have and an earlier DOS version.
Amazing Colin!!!!!

WRC Rally has a number system for curves, 1-6. 6 means it's a slight curve, 3 is about a 90-degree turn, and 1 is almost a hairpin curve.
He's so fast! Man that's unbelievable!
Mighten have all the records but still the GOAT in my eyes
You sir are a genius. I wish I could race rally cars :/ Sadly In Southern California its not very popular....
WOW! That was amazing!
I have bruises on my fingertips, goddamn Finland, goddamn Mannojlampi and goddamn "Advanced" hardness level.
Exactly! The driver is suppouse to stay in the center of the road and don't make the corner by the inside of the camber, this because there could be some obstacles like rocks or a tree that it's not clearly visible.
@GoodEvenings Colin's system was about gears so a 6 crest is 6th gear over a jump or small incline
The codriver reads off the upcoming corners, distance to them and the severity of them.
Look up "Pacenotes" on Google for more information.
We need the raw uncompressed footage of these onboards. Its too good to be anything else
Crazy to think for the most part he was in control...
colin ruled the wrc...very sad rally's without the too best drivers colin/burns that god be with you guys....R.I.P
I looove the cool voice of the copilot. Like hes reading a newspaper in his livingroom.
Mega!!
what a shame the board at the top of the windscreen blocking the good view.
The Master!
Some of those high-speed corners with spectators on them make me cringe with disbelief that they have that much control.
Better to Watch this than the Cars in 2023,Colin was Always Sideways And is Still Missed by Those Who Loved to Watch His Driving 😮💨
Colin mcrae es el mejor piloto de todos los tiempos en rally , podrán decintir conmigo, pero jamás habrá un piloto que lleve al límite el auto.!!
That car has balls of steel to let Colin McRae inside it!
this is RALLY !!!
this was unbelieveable!
best driver
best wrc age
amazing

Mesmerizing.....
вот так ездят профи ( память ему !!!
Guys try with headphones you cn hear the car in left and right is navygaytor
9:16 ! ! ! crazy ! ! !
for me that kind of shiffting is way better than the ones these days, more spectacular i think
man i would crash just from the sun glare.. wrc 7 has this...best stages
stunning
Oh come on he did very well in NORF last year before the retirement. Was in top 10...
Great!!!
ballistic,awesome.
I know that in Colin's notes the turns were classified from 1 to 6. But does anybody knows what does "maybe" "plus" and "minus" meant in those notes ?
3+ is something between 3 and 4. 3 minus is something between 3 and 2. Maybe it means that it's not sure if for example the car will jump. The speeds during recce (pacenote writing) are not flat out, so sometimes they are not sure about a pacenote.
this is a mixture of insanity and art!
The co-driver was Niki Grist?
I love watching rally, but I know nothing about it... could somebody please explain how the co-drivers "Instructions" are meant to be followed? :P
"4right 50 over crest"... and so on
The WRC needs that kind of stage!!!!!
words can elplane dis guy hes just so dam good r.i.p colin
I want see how they drive to the stages what they speaking or doing.
Hi. What does the "line" co-driver instruction means? Like in 5:49. Thx.
"Line" is when there is a series of insignificant corners where, instead of calling out each corner individually, you just say "line" which means go up the middle in a straight line.
Ok, thx.
+Maurício Sobroza it will probably vary from driver to driver depending on what "line" means to that driver but i believe in this case it means to take a classic racing line ie: wide in tight to apex and wide out as in circuit racing
Not really correct, in Colin's notes it means he can go in early and make the apex at the point he sees going into the corner, if that makes sense
@GoodEvenings a crest that can be taken at full speed.
@qettyz I assume that's the shifting technique ?
Do any know which stage this is?
This is the rally equivalent of the video of Senna driving through Monaco
Does that gearbox require a clutch ?
9:15ekko ki era colin... incredibile nn dice una parola...=) ciao colin
OMG, i would give my left teste to be in that car....McRae/Grist......heroes!!
What is line and possible line ?
Couldn't have said it better !
wow!
CRAZY !!!!!!!!!
5 dislikes are from travis pastrana fans who think travis was better :S lol
best in car video ever!
