Queen Anne it's incredible how he sets up the "scene" reciting pace notes like they are part of everyday conversation, and can remember them after 15 years!
It was the shortest 7 minutes of all my life.. I didn't want him to stop talking.. Colin McRae was a legendary driver and Nick Grist is a legendary Co-Driver and both of them were together the best combination ever happened in the entire WRC history !!
Youssef Yahyaoui well your in luck my friend because Chriss Harris has just done a 3 HOUR podcast with him telling his life story go knock yourself out its a classic m8! 👌💯
Not only that ,but he had the rally wrapped up at that stage as his closest rival had retired ! He didn't know the meaning of taking it handy. Legend forever
Simply mindblown. Throughout the video I felt like a small kid listening to his grandfather's tales of a vicious creature he once saw in the forest. Also a bit ashamed that I am Greek and didn't know about this spectacular jump Colin did in my home country.
Colin could never have been as good (quick) as he was, without the unconditional support and strength of those like Grist. Sir Grist, thank you for trusting his judgement in moments like this, and showing us Colin's best! If I were ever to find myself (not gonna happen) in a rally car, there is only ONE guy I would trust with my pace notes. Thank you again N.Grist!
It's been ten years since Colin passed, but it doesn't feel like ten years. Thanks for sharing this clip, I followed the WRC very closely during the time period Nicky mentions, and I do not believe their jump was caught on film. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Anyways, much love to all of you on the Dirt team. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Codemasters for Colin McRae rally series. I play them since I was 5 starting with Colin McRae Rally 04. Nothing better than driving with Nicky Grist
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 Team Colin & Grist winning the Safari Rally three times👏👏👏💐💐💐.Loved watching you in Kenya when this happened. Am elated the WRC is back in 🇰🇪after 19years.
I remember this well, Colin was in a battle with Carlos Sainz (his team mate) and Richard Burns (Subaru). In fact, Sainz retired on the very last stage of the rally due to engine problem (their gap was about 6 sec and Sainz had crawled closer by each stage after the morning), Richard went off in the early stages of the final day. If you want to watch this battle, or re-live those moments, WRC official channel has whole Acropolis rally 2001 day summaries on youtube.
Actually, correction: that acropolis rally about he were talking was held in 2000. They still could had a short sleeve t shirts inside car. But its really shame we cant see it any footage of that moment.
An extremely nerve wracking moment for you Nikki! Sounds like super hero stuff. I am sure you have great stories to tell your more resilient friends and family members.
I’m not sure we’ll ever see another quite like Colin with everything hanging out there, if you watch the modern style of drivers , very quick but just not the same commitment in the car. Go watch their in car footage, where they drive around the bends, Colin was always fall chatter! I for one miss that the most!
I found one on the swedish site, svtplay. here's the link: www.svt.se/sport/motorsport/se-colin-mcrae-i-colins-crest/ it's towards the end and just a short clip, but still.
He's talking about the 2001 Acropolis rally, so they were in a Ford Focus. None of the clips in that video shows the jump Nicky mentions. It shows his Bunnings jumps in Australia though.
2 seconds up , not surprised this's the cat that was gonna cut off his finger to race ! the only other I can think of that did is Ronnie Lott #42 for the San Fran 49ers , And how about the Balls on Father McRea obvious just where Colin got his eh . . .
Does anyone know if Nicky is the co driver voice for dirt 4? Dirt rally had some slow talking bloke was difficult understanding what he was saying basically put you to sleep 😴 Then you crash
NO VR SUPPORT? NO THANKS. im sure all Vive and Oculus and psvr owners probably won't go back to tv screen after experienced in VR. Thats over 1 millon vr owners.
i like the lady she is not a legend but she is a real rally competitor. D4 needs better stages they suck reallly you'll c the same corrner combos over and over
It takes a very cool and level-headed codriver like Grist to mesh well with an adrenaline junky like McRae. Sadly, in the end, that's what got himself and others killed.
too bad D4 rally is mediocre with bland stages that repeat corners over and over your stage sucks......but rallyx landrush is good. Its impressive he still knows the pacenotes
Nothing like Nicky Grist saying the word 'crest'.
Queen Anne it's incredible how he sets up the "scene" reciting pace notes like they are part of everyday conversation, and can remember them after 15 years!
It was the shortest 7 minutes of all my life.. I didn't want him to stop talking.. Colin McRae was a legendary driver and Nick Grist is a legendary Co-Driver and both of them were together the best combination ever happened in the entire WRC history !!
Youssef Yahyaoui well said 👏
!00% , but the only combo that was better was those two, with the addition of a subaru :)
Youssef Yahyaoui The tagline for DiRT 4 is "be fearless". The definition of the word "fearless" is Colin McRae
You guys do realize that Colin championship winning co-driver was Derek Ringer not Nicky Grist? No?
Youssef Yahyaoui well your in luck my friend because Chriss Harris has just done a 3 HOUR podcast with him telling his life story go knock yourself out its a classic m8! 👌💯
Hearing Nick Grist say pace notes at 5:05 is triggering nostalgia to the days when I'd play Colin McRae Rally 05 and hear those very same calls.
All for an extra 2 seconds! What a legend.
Right?! The commitment to being the fastest just blows our mind. Absolutely fearless.
Mark 13 Not that much in rally actually
In just one corner over a stage of 30km, 2 seconds can add up though.
DiRT y’alls better add his crest into your new game!
Not only that ,but he had the rally wrapped up at that stage as his closest rival had retired ! He didn't know the meaning of taking it handy. Legend forever
All of us in Greece, we thank you for the memories!! Acropolis is open always for you ! 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Simply mindblown. Throughout the video I felt like a small kid listening to his grandfather's tales of a vicious creature he once saw in the forest.
Also a bit ashamed that I am Greek and didn't know about this spectacular jump Colin did in my home country.
I want to hear more from Nicky about his story with Colin. Please write a book or make a documentary or something.
3 Years late, but Collecting Cars Podcast with Nicky Grist is a must listen.
Now that's a classic Rally story! You don't get this anywhere else.
Colin could never have been as good (quick) as he was, without the unconditional support and strength of those like Grist.

Don't believe it's on film sadly.
Thank you Codemasters for Colin McRae rally series. I play them since I was 5 starting with Colin McRae Rally 04. Nothing better than driving with Nicky Grist
It's always a pleasure to listen to Nicky :) I'm so glad that he is back co-driving in Dirt4! And what a brilliant story!
I still use this legend as my co driver in DiRT 4
come on Codies, dig up the footage!!
th-cam.com/video/XWiatCUWYmM/w-d-xo.html i think that is that footage..
Nick Grist reading the pace notes is the best ASMR ever, art!
Left 4, hold dip flat out, dont cut 200m. voice of my childhood thanks
I’m keepin Nicky as my co-driver in DiRT 4.
I would love to hear more stories about Colin. He was my hero when I was going up.
Loved watching every moment of you guys.. THANK YOU for all the fantastic memories Colin & Nicky
It's rally stories like this that makes me want to listen. It's interesting :)

Nicky you're my hero man, definitely you REALLY REALLY need two big BALLonS to sit alongside colin Mcrae knowing how crashprone he was.
Actually, correction: that acropolis rally about he were talking was held in 2000. They still could had a short sleeve t shirts inside car. But its really shame we cant see it any footage of that moment.
What an absolute King. Still so missed in rallying.
They should include fascinating stories like this as unlockable bonuses in Dirt 4 singleplayer!
An extremely nerve wracking moment for you Nikki! Sounds like super hero stuff. I am sure you have great stories to tell your more resilient friends and family members.
so many emotions. long live Colin
Loving it Codemasters more of this
More stories like this one please :)
Nicky has the best voice
LOL! Classic Colin, "If in doubt...flat out!"
Will be really awesome if you will add a Colin's Subaru 1998, like was in Colin Mc Rally,still my favourite Subbie😉
Fantastic Story. Looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪
Incredible driver!
Wow, this is why I am such a big fan of Colin's. Great story.
I have often wondered how much fun it would be having Nicky Grist in the passenger seat on a trip through the Rocky Mountains, reading a road map. :)
What a great story, in doubt flat out.
if in doubt flat out he wants to go flat out
Thank u for Dirt ❤️
I’m not sure we’ll ever see another quite like Colin with everything hanging out there, if you watch the modern style of drivers , very quick but just not the same commitment in the car. Go watch their in car footage, where they drive around the bends, Colin was always fall chatter!
I for one miss that the most!
Great story.
I want to see that footage :)
I'd love to see the clip of that jump
Great story thanks for sharing it
5:04-5:20 Nicky's best moment in this video.
Mega Nostalgia from Colin McRae Rally 2005
Nicky you're the best co driver . Still remember your voice from my favourite Colin Mc Rae rally.
Good job he's back for DiRT 4 then. ;)
DiRT Cccoooollll👍☺️
Cccccoollll☺️👍
Love these colin mcrae storys absolute Legend!!!!!!
Is this jump captured on a video perhaps?
My question exactly, was it?
If they did, I would be eager to see it
I found one on the swedish site, svtplay. here's the link: www.svt.se/sport/motorsport/se-colin-mcrae-i-colins-crest/
it's towards the end and just a short clip, but still.
He's talking about the 2001 Acropolis rally, so they were in a Ford Focus. None of the clips in that video shows the jump Nicky mentions. It shows his Bunnings jumps in Australia though.
Porkhammer Uhm? The Colin's crest is in sweden, rally sweden. If you watch the whole video you'll see It at the end.
6 Crest, Don't Cut!
Over Finish... TO STOP
A video of this must exist
so nicky is going to be codriver in D4?and what about Coleman?
Still a very emotional video for me
One word - Love.
2 seconds up , not surprised this's the cat that was gonna cut off his finger to race ! the only other I can think of that did is Ronnie Lott #42 for the San Fran 49ers , And how about the Balls on Father McRea obvious just where Colin got his eh . . .
is out there any video fo this jump?i'm sooo curious about it!
Will there be more videos of Nicky?
Really wanna see that
COLIN MCRAE - BEST RALLY DRIVER EVER, gonna buy this game now!!
of all the co drivers, id want nicky
Does anyone know if Nicky is the co driver voice for dirt 4? Dirt rally had some slow talking bloke was difficult understanding what he was saying basically put you to sleep 😴 Then you crash
Colin Steele McRae, MBE, Legend
that is an amazing story
Best Profile Photo!!!!
I mean, we're a fan. ;)
NO VR SUPPORT? NO THANKS. im sure all Vive and Oculus and psvr owners probably won't go back to tv screen after experienced in VR. Thats over 1 millon vr owners.
DiRT 4 was a pre-order enthusiast for the game I
awesome story
I want to see the junction. Anybody know where i can search it ?
Awesome
do you gonna have more updates for dirt rally
like more cars and things like that
Carlos Cordero if they would, it would already be there so no.
amazing story ,colin was special
Will Dirt Rally get updated anymore?
I like to b8 no
Oh shit Grist, my hero!
I’m honoured to have you as a co-driver
Oh wow....
i always hear the directions he says in the games when he talks lol.
I play Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0,can you make it for PS4 in November pls?
Like father like son Both are mad😂
You’ll always be missed
Enough said
win it or bin it .... R.I.P
Collecting cars pod cast with Chris Harris you get 3 hours of this. You’re welcome
I got it right. Around 2 seconds faster. I'm proud of that.
I being playing the original Colin McRae game
Nice 👍🏻
Love this game and still do I liked all of the game and the rally games but all the rally games are lacking something 👍👍👍
colin mcrae's first rally car should be in dirt 4 :c
ripping yarn thnx Nick
lol im gonna see how i feel when i get there lol lol ahhh Colin your gold lol lol :)
Why is nicky grist kinda always mad or annoyed when i end up in 2nd place in H1 like in dirt 4 i have the ai on tough
VR SUPPORT?!
Ron Zhou not yet, the game is still in alpha build. Gameplay first before VR
Is it planned? By release will they have it?
Thankfully we can have Him as a co-driver instead of this American lady
i like the lady she is not a legend but she is a real rally competitor. D4 needs better stages they suck reallly you'll c the same corrner combos over and over
HYUNDAI i20 coupe WRC 2017 🙏🙏🙏
Shame he wasn't in Dirt 2.0
at 5:05 like I am in the game :-)
Seeing this come up in my recommended in Nov 2022. It's awful to see the account is now called EA Sports Rally.
Do we can expect polish co-driver voice in game?
No VR support no purchase
vr is going to arrive, but you will probably pay for it in a later DLC
Dirt Rally has VR - and it's really good, I've heard
It takes a very cool and level-headed codriver like Grist to mesh well with an adrenaline junky like McRae. Sadly, in the end, that's what got himself and others killed.
am i the only one who think that Nicky Grist looks like Gordon Ramsay??
too bad D4 rally is mediocre with bland stages that repeat corners over and over your stage sucks......but rallyx landrush is good. Its impressive he still knows the pacenotes
If in doubt crash out
dirt 4 is a bull shit!
