Those spectators are stupid. It's so easy to lose the car on muddy corners like that, especially at 90mph coming off a jump! Spectators getting killed every year is no coincidence.
Santa madre de dios, que destreza al volante. Esa comunión entre los aficionados al Off Road y los vehículos al pasar casi, casi junto a ellos se siente la adrenalina al 1000% por parte de los conductores y las personas. QUE VIVA POR SIEMPRE EL OFF ROAD.
Have been in the Class 1 car in front of a Trophy truck. Never a good thing. They can remove dental work with the "light bump" from behind that lets you know they are there. One thing about off road racing is that no one has patience. No one.
It's been like that forever. Manny Esquerra drilled me in the Parker 400 40 years ago & drove my rear bumper all the way into my exhaust on my Class 10 car.
I wish I knew some of the ‘lingo’ he’s calling. Damn that’s a lot to absorb. Amazingly intense with 500 or a 1000 to go, mind numbing! How can you keep that intense and focused for that long!!?? Wow!
You should look up some of Ken Blocks in car with Co-driver audio, if you haven’t already. It’s 100 times more intense and his co-driver, Alex, is Italian. 😳🤪
Even the co-driver lost his place in the navigation, and they needed to reverse call in-real time on the trail to find their place in the call-outs. that's teamwork.
The trophy truck is faster everywhere. A class 1 hasn't won an overall in a very long time, except for a Mexican national several years back who had a truggy(trophy truck without the truck body). Class 1s are too light in the front end, apparently you didn't notice the understeer in almost every corner. Class 1s also don't have near the bite because there is very radical "instant center" changes caused by the much shorter rear trailing arms drastically affecting the traction throughout the travel, i.e. lots of bite when fully compressed & very little when fully extended. Lately, the trophy trucks have gone to all wheel drive. As the Alan Jackson song says, "All It Takes Is $$$$$", over $1,000,000 for a current trophy truck.
Ya it was. It got pretty gnarly in certain spots where you could not even see the trail because there were so many people spectating. You just stayed on the gas and hoped everyone would get out of the way. Totally crazy!
Good ole days was 1 year ago for this video. Cars never out run trucks now because the cars are very unbalanced, ft to rr weight & the instant center change is too radical through the wheel travel, caused by much shorter rear arms. A "truggy" is the only "car" that can compete with the trucks because a truggy is a tropy truck without the truck body.
We had a different gear box / diff set up for that race. Did not use the normal locking diff. Armin was just confirming the change to make sure we did not have a problem that early in the race. It’s pretty crazy how much different the car feels it’s just 20-30% locking in the diff.
@@AGM-Products after some work on diffs for my rc buggy i can conferm that depending on how much the diffs locking gives way different character to the cars in before the corner middle and out of corners.
Haha, ya does sound a bit like gibberish doesn’t it. He is saying is that in 80 meters there will be a right turn. That turn is a 3 on a scale of 1 to 5. (1 being 180 degree turn - 5 being the tiniest of degree changes in the road). A 3 is equal to a roughly 45 degree turn. And “short” is telling the driver that he will not be in the turn for long, because it is a “short” turn. Then it’s the distance to the next obstacle “30” or 30 meters. Then the direction and severity of the turn again. And any details, which in this turn include that it is over a crest. Then another distance and another obstacle, again and again. Rinse and repeat till you get to the finish line.
Great example of how fast everything is coming at you! Some of those spectators are CRAZY!

Anyone within 50 yards of the course is stupid, especially the people on the outside of a turn, No Common Sense Whatsoever .
115mph, approaching a sweeping curve... "Hey.. About those diffs".?
No diffs. They run a spool in the rear axle, like all dirt track & drag cars
When the co driver is the largest confidence inspiring aspect of the vehicle

I remember watching this years ago thinking wow that is so cool how does he understand that gibberish hahah rally notes are great
That's rad!
In the trophy truck, they got a little lost and the driver was reading the road back to his co pilot for them to get back on the notes!
@@soulcapitalist6204 Yeah! They had changed the course since they pre-ran so their notes were off!

Awesome Teamwork 💪🏻
🙌
How this co-driver can do his job is impossible. WTF
Insane!!!

I’d take the class 1 in the acceleration and cornering categories and the TT on the straights as far as speed goes.
its hard to say witch of TT and class 1 is coolest but i can say i love them both.
@@extec101 for sure. I could be happy with one of each. 🤣😂

That's crazy how baja's back then they could go full gas, those where the good'ol days

What went wrong on the Class 1, with the differential switch?

Holy fuck. I wish my wife and I communicated that well.
👍💯🏁
the co driver is the exact opposite of Samir's co driver.
Translate To English ?
80 right 3 minus short 30 left 4 over Crest right to WHAT ?
" WHAT THE HELL"
"YOU SAY"
