I love these clips. This was really a golden age for rallying, Makinen, Mcrae, Sainz, Burns and Gronholm, the creme de la creme of motorsport competing on one stage. Today's rallies don't seem as exciting and diverse as back then.
Harri was always an underrated driver, always made the most out of whatever he drove and never very vocal to the team, it's why he's my all time favourite rally driver.
@@radityaindera3442 see...you know what man, even Tommi himself during an interview of his biography, I think in 2008, he said to the journalist, that he wasn't so excited to the new car after he got some testing problems, rally San Remo was the venue where this new Evo WRC debuted, a years passed and the usually favourite tarmac rally for Tommi, became an absolute disaster not only having a hard time to get into the new car, the usually setting fastest time habit was gone, after two and a half days he was below the top six and even didn't mind if he crashed, well crashed he did, he reckon of this four remaining rallies before the new car debuted, in San Remo, France, Australia and Britain is that if he collected points as he was in 1997, fifth title would guaranteed, but the new car disappointed him and that car was somehow the real reason why he left the Mitsubishi in favour of the Subaru for 2002...to add insult to injury he was accidentally injured his co driver Risto Mannisenmaki's back during Tour de Corse rally...a good result looked to be certain, but it never showed, maybe still pretty lucky for Tommi, is that Colin McRae failed to finished in the points position at that Rally, although Richard Burns's engineered fourth place meant him just few points below Tommi, going to the closing rallies

@@garinakbar1907 he left mitsubishi becouse je didnt like the new actual WRC spec car (instead of the previous life elongated group A Lancers) he did alot of testing in it before he left leaving them a car suiting a driver that was by the driving for another team and not their own new drivers
It's interesting to see that some of the cars used different event plates (on the doors) - like the 206 used the 2000 event decal it seems but for like Makinen/Radstrom used the with blue text.

Preach.

haha, when Thomas and Tina finishes the last stage, Tina says: That was the worst stage in my whole life! ... I bet they were really stepping on it :)

Thank you sooooo much for uploading these! Love to watch wrc season reviews, but they can be hard to find for free
I had a feelings if Mitsubishi still allowed to use the Group A Evo, no surprise that Makinen would surely take his fifth title
Yup. It's clearly strong enough to get results.

Harri Rovanpera took his only win in 2001 Sweden as Snow Expert

Amazing!!!!!!!
Had he stayed 2nd, Makinen could have gotten the championship at the end of the year

Why I always feeling not in good spirit when Tommi's driving for Subaru, I only prefer his Mitsubishi years

If Mcrae hadn’t been hamstrung by the Australian clerk of the course he would have been champion.
@@andyw5962 what if scenarios are dumb
Excellent..........
look at Rovanpera at 37:05 biting his lip, I bet he's regretting his previous statement to Makinen!
37:05

I've seen this video and video reviews of the 2001 season in general and I've never noticed this 😮. Good catch.
Epic!
So Pro!
This is the only time harri rovanpera has ever won a rally
Good old times
If Makinen could won the rally, he could be world champion again
If only
2nd would have been enough
@@nikomoin7604 of course
@@nikomoin7604 (Sorry for the late reply) even P3 wouldve been enough
This was the rally tommi lost the championship
@3:34 Petter Solberg rolling a quarter of a million quids worth of rally car and making a sound as if it is a minor inconvenience for him
Skinny tires 😁
Global warming.......your kidding
Well this rally moves to different places throughout the decade due to lack of snow
French car doing what it can do best. Failing
well they actually won the manufacturers title, so...
2 drivers titles, 3 manufacturers titles in 4 years, get stuffed
French cars won the 11 driver and 11 manufacturer championships in 13 years..
Not that bad cars in rallying ay
