      If you are talking about 1:12, that's Carlos del Barrio. He got lost while reading the notes and the driver had to tell him the info about the road so he could find it and read the pace notes but then they cashed. Carlos even says "That was my fault", because he just lost the line which he was reading and couldn't find what page to read next.

    Co-driver is a role where you must be athletic and physically strong just to read the notes. Since both driver and co-driver are in the same car, its obvious that Co-driver through the same physical demands experienced by the driver. The only exception is he is not handling the car but controlling it without touching the steering and the brakes.

      X32 22A it basically means. “My co-driver doesn’t do what I say, I do what my co-driver says”. Simply meaning the driver has to do exactly as the co-driver says or they’ll probably crash, as can be seen in the video.

      @zwjna 5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      @@Sir_Budginton If there's no co-driver, they'd just drive slowly unless they know [parts of] the stages from previous events. They crash because they trust their co-drivers, not because they are brainlets that definitely need them as the phrase "otherwise they'll crash" makes them look. While I know co-drivers' job is hard, it's the driver the one in charge; the one with the bigger and harder amount of tasks needed to be done during a stage. So I think that phrase was a compliment to Michael, or maybe because in this very special case it was Michael the one "in charge."

    Watching as a young man I'm now 58 I was always amazed by the driver co-driver communication and cooperation I've never driven in a real rally only driven to live in crap out of them on Xbox I noticed the subtle differences in co-drivers and I was able to adapt very quickly with better than average lap times first time running the course with that I'd love to give it a shot at a co-driver for real not on Xbox either. 🤓🤓🤓😷

But the new technology of WRC doesn't make it any easier than Group B, really. You're still going blazingly fast down a rough gravel road. Just because WRC has more technology improvements doesn't mean that the skill of drivers today should be thrown in the trash.

I might be wrong but i think after it was banned a study was made and it concluded that group b cars got to the point where the human brain simply could not keep up with the car, back then that was as fast as you could possibly go on a rally stage both tecnologically and skill wise, nowadays i dont think it is true due to the regulations.
