![What is a WRC Car? [Rally1 Cars Explained]](/img/n.gif)
Cant watch this. Why couldnt the person be a car guy instead of a non car guy
Rob Seb
And furthermore; a rally guy.
Comments like, ‘I don’t know what that flag is’ made me shudder.
tats the whole point of this video... to put the car through the normal daily stuff... the driver had to be a regular driver... the lesser he knew about it the more he would admire it...
@@adc420able Except he is supposedly one of the biggest 'motoring journalists' in the country. Not a regular driver.
You're driving a rally car and you don't know the Norwegian flag.....
The Captain "I'm gonna be from that country"
Oh boi and soon its or national day 1 x in my books if me hating this guy
*You're
I watch some rally and I have no fucking idea what Norway has to do with rally that id need to know the flag lol
If it's rally and Scandinavian everyone is going to think of Finland
You get to drive a WRC car and yet you drive it like a sexually frustrated soccer dad in a mini van
you get 2 drive a La Ferrari or 918 i think you would drive the same. you cant afford it or cant afford an accident
Its the point of the video tho
This is the best and true :D :D
I have 2 words: public road.
@@georgekurgansky5986 doesn't mean shit in the US man
Got to 3:42 and decided that I had enough. Get people to do these test that actually get excited and enjoy it.
Host: "Believe it or not, this car once started life as a regular Hyundai I20"
Me: "Wow, so I can rally my Hyundai?!!
Host: "$700,000 of modifications later..."
Me: "Daaaamn!!! There goes that thought..."
To make it admissible to a rally on a budget you might get away with just spending about $10k (most of it in safety equipment). But then again, you would have no chance to even make qualifying.
@@yoshyoka Really depends on the cup, class etc. etc.
Some friends and I partake in a few rally cups every year and we do get podium or near-podium quite often.
Total investment made on our car? Around 8K including purchase of the thing.
Rally isn't just WRC, there are also plenty of amateur cups specifically made for "rallying on a budget".
“That chief engineer seems nervous on the road with him driving with his one word answers “😓😂
Wouldnt u be
Lmfao yuh I mean it is 750k that get me scared shitless
I was thinking he’s probably more nervous with him then he’s probably ever been with the rally driver lol
Yez
mr beast uncle.
Non car guy turns on the engine:
hears the perfect engine sound*
Just says *okay*
thats
Would have been funny with the original topgear team, this guy is a funny as cardboard.
tigesinaus I would prefer May over that Guy
Honestly I think he's just another online car reviewer who got lucky with a channel that has resources, I don't think he's as bad as people make him out to be though, I prefer him to modern Mighty Car Mods
drumboarder1 mighty car mods atleast know what a car is
I would like to see Jeremy Clarkson getting in it
Should of seen him in the WRC Impreza.
he get in a p50, i don't think he has problem with this
@@Kio_186 hes pretty old now lol
@@ashhketchumm well you are right hahaha
"I'm going to be from that country...whatever it is"...ignorance at its best
Anand Ramani u mean 80% of america at their best (pls dont hate me i know what ya mean). And its very sad
@@Ivwin hate to break it to you man but this is australia...
@@Ivwin the irony....
@@vincentnghiem9280 Mate we have been America for more than few years now :)
@@sweaspurdoddd5466 yes indeed
This host is cringy to watch.
The way he touched that START button 3 times. OMG. Just like looking at 5 year old kids that have never seen a button phone, with exception of this kid being 30 years old. I need a hug now.
That one lucky WRC Neuville fan that got to sit in Mikkelsen's car... if that was me i would have shat myself of joy
That would have been interesting on video! Thanks for your feedback!
That has to be the engineer's dream, drive a rally car through a drivethrough haha
Get out of that machine you peasant!!
Rally cars are awesome ;v
I got stuck in it, those seats are tight :-) - Alborz
el Mikas lmaooo
13:27 That guy is probably a Dutch or Belgian tourist on holiday, based on his accent.
And he supports Thierry Neuville (BEL)
Probably.
Doug Demuro needs to do this. I would love to see the Doug Score
2:48 Such disrespect
just let it be so everyone thinks that ur real Mikkelsen
You can obviously tell from the chief mechanic’s face that he is so done with this dude
huh?
I don’t think he knows what a clutch is really
Those fools drive with automatics
Nah tbf this clutch is quite aggressive you need much more throttle than you normally would need
The WRC I20 is a Legend
"Im gonna be from that country, Whatever that is"
10:44 the driver is dying lmaoo
You don't know the Norwegian flag?? Dra til helvete 🇳🇴😠
Ford Sierra yeah 🇳🇴😠
🇫🇮😇
Phoenix AO you play my summer car?🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
the lunagamer169tm ive played it but i got bored fast :P
the lunagamer169tm do you have other games
I have always dreamed. If I was a millionaire. Having a sleeper i20 or Fiesta that is Rally or RallyX built underneath. Nobody would suspect a thing... Apart from the glowing exhaust
You should hava taken the last guy for a ride!!!
Has this guy ever seen a manual transmission car in his life? If he only knows automatic (not much to know about it anyway), he shouldn't be trying to drive this one and eventually damage the clutch (not cheap on a WRC car).
Sent a complete amateur im jealous
Rookie, my 83 year old Mum could have rev'd and feathered the clutch better
I understand the sarcasm to what youre saying but... you cant feather the clutch in these cars due to the clutch type in the transmission
Broienk Baieyne Thank you!
OK but why is there a clutch pedal then? I'm sure it can be modulated.
@@rolfen In order to prevent stalls in the corners. When pulling the handbrake, it is always best to use the clutch to prevent stalls. But, this and all other WRC cars (WRC, WRC-2, WRC-3, J-WRC) either use paddles or a sequential stick shifter. Also, just like a normal manual car, the car will stall if the revs bottom out completely. If you hold the clutch when you are at idle, it won’t stall, like a normal H-Pattern car.
I'd like to remind people how hard upgraded clutches are to deal with
Can he drive a regular manual transmission?
Never seen a worse host of any car channel. Dude is the most casual car guy ever lol
4:00 R.I.P Car
"They must think its a riced out version of an i20 car" I'm dead. x'D
@15.27 when the real rally car appears 😂
$700k worth of modification. Yes, I believe that could've started out as a regular i20.
How many more of those could I buy with 700 000?
I think that car isn't stupid, that's so nice! It's even hard for you to start the engine of that car! And i think you really don't even know how to drive an ordinary car!
They drove it in Australia?? With stearing wheel on left??
Y'all who laughing about the stalling rally clutch is very aggressive .....also that gear shift holy shit !!!!!
Half a million! Wow. That really helps me manage my expectations with the Mini Cooper I’ve just inherited.
Would you imagine if this kind of videos were made with human athletes (thinking this cars as the athletes of carworld), like "join Usain Bolt on shopping" and he just goes and... walk around
If you fail going away from place 2 times in toyota, it'll break the gearbox... maybe that's why hyunday is not first in wrc
Such a beautiful and amazing car..
I wish I had that opportunity to drive a wrc car
A kidney
A lung
A few limbs
An eye and
500,000 later
Proud owner of the i20 WRC!
Real question for a second (thought you may doubt its legitimacy for a minute!)
What MPG do you get out of this? Looking at buying one for my daily commute to the old folks home then maybe to the bingo hall which is a distance of at least 8 miles from my current convalescent home - im worried ill only be getting about 1.3 mpg just like my last car my Tyrell P34 which ill have you know is fucking useless, cant even get my zimmer frame in the thing! If anyone could help me out and if anyone happens to have some idea about part exchanging my current car for this Hyundai WRC Car it would be great - Thanks HAROLD (87 years young!)
Got some big feels he never got to drive it on public roads himself hah
It looks like he is tata indica driver
3:57 ehy just like my first day of driving lesson with my father
Damn!! I love that spoiler
Australian $750,000 = Indian Rs.37392750.00/- ...
3.7 crores for this car !!
Can I atleast sit in such car in my life !! I don't think I'll ever get to see such mechanical art here in India..
I agree. It’s not that expensive though.
You did not understand. They took the normal car and modified it. The modifications cost $750 000. They put all very expensive racing modifications in this car.
I feel ya bud.. *sigh* how I wish that I could atleast touch it, let alone sit in it
I feel sorry for the engineer
It is as tradition: It must be street legal, and transport itself on public roads to the next rally stage.
The Guy can't even drive a manual gearbox. No wonder the mechanic had to take over. No clue at all.
Can't really compare a cost of building a car to what it would cost for someone to buy, if it was a production car. I don't know what profit margins car manufactures go for. But you can't just apply standard profit margins either. Manufacturers would never sell a car like that. There will always be corners cut for production vehicles.
why there is the same Chef Mechanic in the Hyundai and the Ford rally car?
Does the guy not know how to drive manual or is the clutch ultra sensitive.
So that was his fist time driving car
Can never be as iconic as what you are going to see at 15:26
wrx
I really wanted to hear the sound😑
"does it have power steering" lmao
it does actually
@@sander8259 it is supposed to have it that's why the question is funny
Would have much preferred to see an average man on the street trying to drive the car on an airfield with everything turned on. driving on roads with the car in non competition mode with the active diff turned off, the engine on its most fuel efficient map so BHP down considerably , anti lag turned off, is frankly lame and a little pointless . Its a pure bred rally beast and should be used as such
the host said in some other comments they wouldn't turn on any of that stuff not even anti lag
Damn people are rude dont mid them I'm glad you got to experience this and I bet the majority of these people being rude have never drove rally and would not even be able to move the car
He doesnt know a Norwegian flag ???
08:35 "cmon you stupid car" LOL
omg he wouldn't drive a cat out of the yard !
How much this car to buy for normal streets? And where to buy?
Poor car has to endure him.
This could have been a really cool video.
"Start it at 3Bar" Starts at 1.1Bar
WRC-cars are that expensive? Holy s**t!
Will bring a tear to your eye next time you see one crash!
良いなぁ😊
運転してみたい🚙💨
lol, the normie veloster in the background at the star though😂
Leave it to the nanny state of Australia to impound vehicles for noise limits.
*I know its a joke in this video but I don't doubt that they would really do that.
Im pretty sure they wouldn't as these cars actually have to be road legal
15:27
I wonder what that Subi driver thought.
Can’t even finish the video, I cringe to much watching this guy not knowing how to drive manual.
i Cringe at you not knowing how hard a race clutch is. Even people who have driven manuals there whole life stall the a couple times when using a race clutch
@@ItsLost its because the clutch is ver y short?
Aussies are the coolest.
Holy crap you went to the same west field I use to go I at until I moved
Aussies dont give a fuck that a WRC car is driving down the road! The sound alone is ear porn!
i wanna drive with this...
wait wait wait gearbox manual with cluch ?? or secuencial with cluch?... ahmm im confused
Did you even know how to drive a manual?
i20... I'm loving it.
$700k😳😳Only thing Hyundai about it now is the logo😂😂
My soul hurts wen I watch this video 🤦🏻♂️
9:50 "a small bucket of chicken"........ there's 1 fucking bucket.
Didn't know Veritasium liked cars
This is what I feel I'm driving when I take out my mom's mini car😎😎😤
How it got german numberplate
Samir you are breaking the car !
Shame on you Fallah for not knowing the flag of Norway
13:04 give that girl a medal.she's interesting too
Yes
true sleeper car? form outside it looks like a normal car to ordinary eye if you get rid of the sponsorship paint work
Whos that special ed kid who was driving such a nice gesture!
Is it even legal to drive those monstah in streets?
Kfc part was so funny xD
If I tried I will jump like a veteran because I've sat alot of race cars
Why is there a German numbersplate on haha
LeMe1607 Registered in Germany I think
The Hyundai Motorsport HQ are based on Alzenau, Germany so the german plates
So which Hyundi do i have to buy to get this mad awd? Srsly this is a drag queen just like the Polo WRC. Neither the chassis, gearbox or the drivetrain can be brought at a dealer. This is a custom car that impersonates something you see on the road.
The Hyundai i30N is a sport version with 270hp if i'm not wrong
I mean..... it is a racing car. It competes in the highest tier of rally racing..... so, I guess in order to get it to somewhat rally spec, it's gonna take a lot of engeneering and denero.
That used to be different. Subaru WRX STI, all the 80's group B cars and literally erverything before that was available for customers. Ford Capri, Opel Ascona, Fiat 124 they were the grocery getters of their time. Today there is just too much trickery and "fake" going on. The TCR Class is another example.
3:00 norway
