Co-driving consists of reading hieroglyphics in the name of fast stage times, and no others have finely honed this skill as perfectly as Engineering Explained. Well, none of that's true, but it was an amazing ride! Big thanks to Travis Pastrana and Subaru for the amazing experience, and of course Christian Edstrom for knowledge and track suit!

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!
They should add a Co-op mode to Dirt Rally in which one player has to call out to his driver. That would be fantastic.
+JesseArt They really should!
+JesseArt Thank you. I'm not the only one who thinks this!
OMG. That is both a really great and a really terrible idea at the same time. We need it! :D
Would be good for a laugh lol
I was thinking about this literally 10 minutes ago.
That would suck. Not being in a rally car with Travis Pastrana, but not being able to look up the whole time.
wow! riding in a legit rally subi with Pastrana! !! awesome video
Legit lol
Wow,talk about a once in a lifetime experience with one of the best!
I would have definitely came out of there owing $250
same, i had to pee just watchin him
+Keegan Mccallum hahahaha
Great to see Mr. Can Explain Anything catch up with Mr. Can Do Anything!
Wow that was awesome! I would have totally gotten motion sickness if I was doing that haha. Nice job Jason!
Yea I wanna see you try this on your channel lol
+subaruwrxfan Haha thanks man! It was nuts!!
Holy crap this is awesome man! What a great opportunity!
+T-WRX Hell yeah! He deserves it, I'm so jealous too.
Personally I think he NAILED IT on the way back, the beginning wasn't bad either considering the stressful situation.
Dude, you NEED to play DiRT Rally. Or any Rally game, ever. Pace notes are such a beautiful, musical thing. Especially in Italian.
For anyone interesting in the engineering of the car, I made a video last year of David Higgins' ride. Aside from paint, they're exactly the same. :) th-cam.com/video/1971DmZC41s/w-d-xo.html
do floor the gas pedal to go full speed
+Alexander Tamayo haha are you kidding? I will laugh and smile all I want, whenever I want. Life is meant to be enjoyed!! :)
+Alexander Tamayo Dude, you don't know what you're talking about.
+Alexander Tamayo why would it matter?!? it was a PR run, it was all about laughs...
worry about how you act in public, not about how others do...
i just watched it thanks. i had the chance to see it at the NY international auto show I made some pictures of it. i had put them on my Google plus page. this is so cool. you should ask Travis if you can borrow his monster truck.
That looks like a blast. Explain all the engineering of a rally car and why they can jump and a regular car cannot/shouldn't.
+the8jrfan Along with the other stuff people said, a rally car's suspension only needs to survive a couple stages. I don't think you'd want to replace your shocks, struts, and mounts every couple hundred miles.
Everybody can make a car that can last those jumps. The real question is if it would benefit the overall speed of the car if they can and do handle jumps.
By not having to brake for every high crest, they seem to hold better overall speed, so they design the cars to make them able to handle the jumps.
My left ear enjoyed the video
thought I was the only one!
+Andrius Čičirka Wow interesting, no idea why that happened. In my editor the sound is on both speakers. Your right ear needed a break anyways. :)
I pooped today I thought my headphones were broken but they aren’t 🤣
This is so awesome how this channel has evolved from you doing videos in your room on a whiteboard to riding with Travis Pastrana! Congrats man, rad stuff.
+David Rajewski Life is an insane ride, loving it! :)
I was honestly expecting you to be no help at all. You seem to have done a decent job though! Great video as usual.
This channel is everything I always wished top gear could be!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING SAMIR
+D Cons A LA MAOOO
+D Cons 50 downhill triple caution! Triple caution! Stay center! TRIPLE CAUTION!!
+LoomyX shetup, shetupp!
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME SAMIR!!
+D Cons CONCENTRATE SAMIR
It's amazing how stable the car seems. There was virtually 0 shake of the camera. The suspension has to be nothing short of amazing. Very good vid!
Travis not too keen on your jokes lol...
+DreiZ I'm not that funny haha
+Engineering Explained I enjoyed them! He seemed very serious about the rally run. Looks fun.
Jason - Great video. Really enjoyed it. And fair play - you did a lot better than I would have expected for me tossing you the book and giving you a thirty second overview. It was great to meet you, and I really enjoy the series.
Rally drivers and co-drivers deserve a whole lot more respect for their line of work. The co-driver needs to simultaneously process, read clearly, and guide the rally driver through these hazardous environments while in a wobbly car with a loud engine running in the front.
Then the rally driver needs to understand what the co-driver just said in 3-5 seconds, keep the car on the road with that info, and also make sure the two of them don't die in a fiery car crash. That, in my opinion, is one of the hardest jobs in the world.
Scary to watch you co drive for the first time yet bad ass watching Travis do his thing. Sick.
How did you get this opportunity? It looked like quite a memorable experience! Travis is a phenomenal driver.
Pastrana seems to be a realy cool guy.
I Co-Piloted a Rally myself a few years ago, granted it was in a much slower car, but I had the same trouble keeping up with reading the notes during our first stage as you had here.
Well done for reading the pace notes so well, especially with such a short lesson previous to going for the drive with Travis. Well done to both members of the crew. An entertaining video!
Your videos are always amazing. You are up there with top gear. Even when you explain something about cars I already know, you always give me more tidbits of information. Keep making videos and get a show on the velocity channel.
This was fun to watch but man, I'd love to get a chance to read notes for one of the top guys in Rally. You did quite well towards the end! What an honor and opportunity to get to experience rally first hand from the greatest spectating point known to man. Keep filming the cool things you get to do!
I did not know just how difficult co-driving was. Thank you for doing this video. I felt bad for you at times. This was really cool to watch,
Man, I love rally racing. So much more interesting than track racing IMO.
I think you did great for you first time! Awesome video.
+Blake's Garage Thanks Blake!! Travis and Christian were amazing company.
+Engineering Explained I'm so jealous
Whoa, co-drive with Pastrana in the actual rally car!! You sir are doing great things in life!! Freaking awsome video man
Actually very surprising that you did so well for your first time. Way to go Jason.
Color me impressed.
Ahhh maaan, I'd love to do this one day. Always enjoy watching Travis he seems like a genuinely nice guy!
Cool. I sort of learned to listen to those instructions when I was playing Colin McRae Rallye on the Playstation It didn't really work at all without it. I always had the highest respect for good co-drivers, and seeing the team work together like that, one being nothing without the other, was always awesome. There is not nearly enough rallye driving on the TV here in Germany.
I remember that game and those days.I still have the soundtrack in my head and all of the cars...The focus,impreza,seat ibiza,skoda...
This video is great. Two of my favorite car people in one video!
Travis is such a chill dude. Really cool.
That's unreal, I've always been a big fan of Travis, he's an absolute animal.
"...if you need any pointers along the way." What a great video!
Not many get to experience something like this! Very awesome.
You did it better than James May did in the Bentley
Exactly what I was thinking
+MTC0316 Hahahaha, thank you thank you thank you!! I love that guy.
Engineering Explained
Dude, James May is a complete master, but he was seriously freaking out. I'm impressed how well you held yourself together.
Although Travis is great, but I think he had a bit of a tougher Job with Kris at the wheel of the bentley
Unreal Man! Love rally races, wish it was bigger in Australia
Awesome. Pastrana seems like a really cool guy.
I'm glad all the car channels are finally getting the subs they deserve.
Travis the god damn Pastrana. What an honor to ride with the legend himself.
Man Travis is the man. Sweet
+Scott Pessetto Super cool guy, amazing experience!
I would love to be passenger but I'd be shitting my pants. I know it's a subi and it's built for rallying but I always think it's accidentally going to roll or lose control and slam into a tree.
Like how the hell can you get that much traction and control on that type of terrain?! It's amazing what these guys can do.
Glad to see you had a good time.
That looked challenging and exhilarating
That is really cool! You did an awesome job for just having a minute lesson!
+Clayton DuVal Haha thanks, amazing experience!!
+Engineering Explained it looked like it! I really want to experience rally driving. Either as a driver or what you did! Really cool either way
dude, awesome respect, you really nailed considering it was your first time! kudos to Travis Pastrana of course ;)
I really enjoyed watching this! Keep it up! (Y)
this was an awesome opportunity for you. thank you for sharing with us.
Travis is the man, I once got to race go-karts with him, Special Greg, and Nascar driver Matt Crafton. He told our group if we could get within one second of him we could have a $100 bill... no one even came close.
10/10 would do it. I'm so jelly right now
Jeez, what a fun experience! Way to go, man!
I'm so jealous. I'd love to just watch him drive in person let alone be his codriver. So freakin cool.
I couldn't do this, major props to you my man!
Co driving with travis pastrana.. that looks extremely intimidating haha. You looked like you were getting a lot better near the end too. Good job!
I got to meet Travis at NEFR! Can't wait to see him again for the 3rd year in a row
Great video. Looked like fun. You did surprisingly well for only having a 1 minute lesson.
Great job man, i am co-driver and i understand how fun is it. I love rally so if you could have more material about it would be awesome because you have really cool videos.
What freaking Motorsport can Travis not do lmao
+AaronAL59 He wasnt to good at supercross? He raced it but didnt win to often before going to freestyle. With that said I would love to get to drive all the things he does haha.
David Bernstein Not really a troll if you notice i put a question mark meaning I wasn't 100% sure on that. I forgot he had won a supercross and motorcross title in 2000/2001. All I knew was he didn't race for long before moving onto FMX and other extreme sports. He also never won at the 250cc. Its a bit easier to win at the 125CC level even more so back then. He was good but he didnt stay around long enough to be one of the greats.
You got to drive with Travis? That's an honour in itself. The hardest man on planet earth and a legend of Motorsport. What's he like in person? How in God's name did you get that opportunity???
+Shannon Parker For the brief duration we met he was a super friendly guy. Seemed very genuine and kind, he's a good dude! Landing the opportunity was a mix of being in the right place at the right time and chatting with Subaru - the place is about a 2 hour drive from where I live and Subaru invited me to come check it out. Very grateful!! :)
Thanks!! Really enjoy your channel. Shannon
This is why I consider pastrana so legendary not mant people could do a run like this and still be able to calmly talk to their co driver and coach them through it props to the man who said he ran out of talent when it came to nascar
Dude you got to chill with Travis Pastrana! That's awesome man I'm jealous, but you definitely deserve it!
I think I would love being a co-driver.
Giving directions: adrenaline junkie edition.
After the first minute or two, you really did great. I couldn't imagine having to call out notes, especially in a bouncing car.
Travis Pastrana....what a legend.
Rally racing is my favorite type of racing. Most fun to play as well (Especially Dirt Rally).
Dude what an experience! Very very cool!
well done dude - for a first spin very impressive
Your videos are awesome man! Keep up the great work!
Rally looks like so much fun!
Well done man you did good. Looks like a mix of the best time and pure terror lol.
You did very well considering how nervous you must have been! Great job! : )
I know I'm repeating myself, but you have the coolest job ever.
+Rickyboy707 Haha it's quite true! So much fun. :)
Really awesome experience. I'm surprised someone hasn't made some little translucent lcd display on the front of the helmet that the driver can read that's connected to gps so it gives out the instructions on a screen
God that's a once in a lifetime experience. Lucky bastard
That's awesome dude! Congratulations.
Travis is such a legend, i would love to meet him - and he seemed really nice aswell
Good job with the pace notes, but honestly, you should downpace every corner one notch when driving with Travis, he is a lunatic :D
That was amazing! I love rallyesports!
I think you looked torn between reeding the sheet and trying to keep an eye outside and enjoy the ride. Great video, good job!
Wow, Jason, that's insane!! I've sharing it with some folks at HYG.
+Britt Bayers It was completely nuts Britt, thanks for sharing - hope all is well at HYG!
I can't like this video enough. That was awesome
Travis pastrana is my favorite fmx rider. And he's a pretty decent rally drive. Mr 199 lives is op
SOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!! What an incredible opportunity.
Notice how Travis ALWAYS keeps one hand or the other on the same spot of the steering wheel. Even while staging up at low speed and turning the wheel alot. He keeps one hand planted and puts the other hand over the first, landing about 180 degrees from the planted hand.
Jason, can you please do a video explaining what you said ???
+Mason Samuels If you're referring to the pace notes, they're basically a code for turns and the road ahead. Rally drivers don't often see the course they're driving before they actually drive it, so the pace notes let them know what to prepare for. The Right/Left numbers refer to the severity of a turn. Different drivers use different systems, but I believe Travis uses something similar to this: 6 is a slight turn, 1 is almost 90 degrees. Then you have Square, Acute, and Hairpin for something tighter than a 1. The numbers like "150" and "300" refer to meters (usually) before the next call. When Travis corrected the one call as a "6 tightens to 5", that meant that the turn starts out as a 6, but tightens to a sharper turn. Crest, bump, dip, and jump all refer to exactly that. A crest can also be a "Crest, jump maybe" meaning that depending on speed, you may jump.
So something like "R6 T5- --> L4 over crest, 150, caution R2 don't cut" would be a slight right getting a bit tighter into an immediate left 4 that goes over a crest, then 150 meters until a fairly tight right turn that has some sort of danger on the inside of the corner, so don't cut the corner.
I may have made a mistake or two, but that's the basics of pace notes.
+Corey B I don't know much about the pace notes, and I've never really payed any real attention before, but it seemed to me like the number corresponded with what gear the driver should be in for maximum speed and stuff?
+Hesster that's a pretty common misconception. You may have to downshift to second in order to make an upcoming 2, but you certainly wouldn't immediately shift to sixth if a 6 came right after that 2.
Corey B Thank you so much.......
Corey B Lol gotcha, good point haha, I get what your saying haha
Props to both !
Ah Mr. Edstrom.. A nice guy in real life and obviously a good co-driver.
You did a great job with the pacenotes :)
Awesome! please explain everything: your experience, whet you are saying, why a rally car is different and all of that. Thanks :)
That was so entertaining .!!!!!!!! great video.Would like to know how those pointers work and what all of them meant.
What an incredible experience!
hahaha classic, "i daily a 2014 sti, if you need any pointers along the way". This made my day haha.
Amazing video. Travis is such a nice guy
I would throw up so hard with all the car movement and reading, nice video man
That's amazing, what an experience!
Must be very hard to focus on the notes when all you wanna do is laugh and enjoy the ride, amazing job :D
Awesome video, keep them coming!!
You guys are both awesome!
im sweating just watching this! good job man
Great video. Did you by chance have the GoPro settings on "Spot meter mode?"
+Cluengineer Nope, unfortunately not.
