Onboard Crazy Simca Rallye 3 || Rear-Engined 675Kg Monster
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2019
- This little Monster is called Simca Rallye 3 and is quite the rare (but very popular) 70´s French Sports Car that has been converted into proper Racing Cars through the years both for Rallying and HillClimb Racing. This one is now powered by a 1300cc Engine unit capable of around 160Hp, moving only 675Kg and driven by Romain Richardeau, who might be the current best driver of these quirky things.
At Osnabruck Bergrennen 2019 it certainly was possibly to see that as he posted a 1:05.889, positioning him above many Lancer Evo, BMW and many other much more powerful machines. And other than that, there´s the tremendous driving style. And for that just watch the Onboard footage. You will get a proper idea on how quick someone can be with something with little over 150Hp and a manual H-Pattern 5-speed Gearbox... - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Driven like he stole it... damn!
👏😳👏
True French nostalgia: Remember my trips to France in my youth, where I saw a lot of rear-engined Renaults and Simcas tuned insanely, dragging their oilpans over the tarmac because they where lowered at the rear, with puffed wheelarches, racing around on the mountain roads like madmen!
Wow this was one of the best hillclimb car/video/driver I have seen in a very long time!
Thanks ;) We liked its final look for sure, and of course this little Monster helps a lot...
Me Too !!
imagine pulling up in an evo and the car you drew in grade 2 goes faster than you
that statment was hilarious.
😀😆😂🤣😃😁
This car exist in french hillclimb Simca 1000 with r5 turbo engine
We had a little simca back in the 60’s 👌🏻
que de souvenir, rally, course de cote et ce son pouaaah !
merci
Ça fais plaisir de voir de vraies voitures de course , la bonne epoque. Merci
It looks hilarious but drives like (and is driven by) a beast
Fantastique auto et pilote au top Wwwaaooouuuhhhh 👍👍👍👍
675 kg, reminds me of the Legend cars they run here in the States. Ones here use motorcycle engines and they're tiny. A lot of fun to watch, this one was pretty sweet too 👍
Cette rallye 3 m’a marqué pour lavoir vu rouler dans plusieurs course de côte la couleur, le bruit et elle marche fort un pur bonheur 😍
magnifique !!! et le pilote l'exploite impecablement respect
Intimidating Car and Fearless Driver. Watched it all in one breath.
..been on the rear seat of a stock rally3 when I was a kid, in the late 70's. The brother of a school friend of mine had one... he drove (fast) the kids for fun on the road... It was a different but MARVELOUS era. This car was our absolute dream, It was a real popular sport car, with NO electronics at all : engine, wheels, steering & brakes and you... miss this era...
Along with seeing cars that are common in various crazy versions,you guys also find rare gems and this Simca is one of those.What a fast car,but damn,what a driver.Seriously,this is one of the best car/driver combos i've seen on your channel.Thanks for sharing spectacular cars and for daily dose of adrenaline.
This is still a real rally ride. Very good video. Greetings from Austria.
Awesome driver! He drives over the limit the whole track! Respect!
Bon pilotage à la limite, et sans aller trop loin, et avec une petite merveille de grand-mère. Bravo
Mi padre adoró estos fantásticos carros y tuvimos el gusto de verlos y viajar en ellos ( 1000 CC, 1204 CC y 1300 cc ) y al ver este video recordé aún más a mi padre.
Absolutely on the edge of the grip. Amazing!!!
recon its the slippery low drag co-efficient shape that makes it that quick !!!.
😂😂
Aero-lego....
This guy has skill that no body can match even they are give 110% commented he's still faster then most us can do.
Mean little orange ruffy and a very skilled driver 👍
On the boils. Marvelous driving.
amazing!
Exhaust sound is great!
A friend of mine raced with a similar one 30 years ago. It had around 130 hp back then and great handling.
That is s super talented individual. Exceptionally quick.
Bloody Hell!! And i didnt even have time to put my harness on.🏴👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Its definitely a 5 speed dogbox though, no clutch upshifting :)
An insane little monster!
Yup the way he changes gears is astonishing...and the fact that he still uses the H-pattern instead of sequential...
It looks awesome and sounds even better, And the driver isn't holding back, he's giving irt all he's got
Damn, the things we miss out on here in America.
That little angry thing looks fun!
Well you guys are the champions of the big displacement V type engines, that's awesome too :)
@@z-trip5457 I'm not loyal to any platform or displacement--fast is fast. More Americans should appreciate the diversity of speed
Que gran aparato, recuerdo verlos de niño con dos motores!!
Car looks and goes awesome .. respect ..
I had two of these Simcas in the late 70s.
I could never overcome their cooling problems.
The only parts of my Simcas which didn't fall apart with rust were the rubber tyres.
Verry good driving skills!👍
Damn, that little car is mental!!!
Good lord... it handles about as well as it looks...
Wow! That thing is a weapon!!
looks like a toy. this thing's a gokart with a shell. love it
On s'est loin des petites simca 1000 de série. !!
Fantastic!
That looks like alot of fun
What a strange, little car. Sounds good though!
It's a 70's french car, with a BIG engine 😁
@@G.M.. 1.3L is not a big engine 🤔
Thats a nice ride 👌
Superbe auto et pilote au gros cœur, wwaawww 👍👍👍👍
Espectacular..!!
Such a nice car
There was always a handful of these rallye 1 2 or 3 when I went to hillclimbs ten years ago, they were my favorites !
Sadly they are becoming rarer nowadays
Toute ma jeunesse😂😂🎉🎉rallye 1, rallye 2 rallye 3😁😁🔥🔥👌👌
Trazione posteriore ! 👍
Man this car is nuts.
Superbe !
Spettacolare.
Mola mucho ese Simca
Mental! love it :)
Clutchless Upshift..that's mad.
Nasty little car
Ça pousse FORT !
EVO driver:it's over, my EVO is more powerful and stable than this shitty car!
Romain Richardeau:hold my oversteering 675 kgs.
This was a cool little car. My G35 6 speed 360 hp RWD eats and shits EVO's on the first lap.
Got vid? Show us some video and maybe just maybe we will belive you.
Un peu de respect pour les anciennes tocard
@@kerkouz1211 les types n'y connaissent rien en course de cote,et surtout historique;;;;
J'ai vu + d'evo sur le toit ou dans les rails de securité que de simca rallye sur 40 ans.
....and has the aerodynamics of a brick :D
wtf ..hilarious ,,I like this !
Steering wheel to far away: looks like "Go-Go-Gadget-Arms"! 😁🤔
But, very nice machine! 👍🏻
Bestiale
Ok so I saw a similar comment, hes only using the clutch when hes backshifting, and he appears to feather it several times too, but as he rows thru the gears, no clutch. I dont know much about this car, Im curious if thats the “norm” or not? I was waiting to see some heel/toe as well, but this guy didnt need it. Exceptional driving and course knowledge, great vid!
Romain Richardeau "Magic" 👐 🙋🏁 Tiens j'ai vu passer un missile 🏆
looks like it handles great, would it be better or worse if the engine was mounted up front?
Vertigo racing in the play store..
We had such a car back in 1974 (I was 11 then). It was a 1000 Spécial with 60 hp. We kept it for 4 years. Nothing but trouble and rust. We never solved the cooling issue. Everything was replaced with a Rallye 2 cooling system. No luck. It kept itself at the brink of overheating (110 C). Even with 60 hp it was fast in its day, but dangerous and unreliable. Everything went wrong on it.
I had two Simcas in the late 70s.
Dreadful cooling problems.
@@raypurchase801 Somehow nice to hear that we were not the only ones. My father was a car mechanic and he says it was the only thing ever he was not able to solve. He was genuinly troubled by that (I guess his professional honor was hurt). What made it even more mysterious was that the overheating just started one day, from one moment to the next. Did you find what caused it?
Sticks to the road like shit to a blanket !
👍👍👍
Wow, I thought this was going to be just another bike engine conversion till I saw the gear changes , and that sound!!! Great drive,
What's the engine in this thing of beauty.
Te owner say It,s the original 1000cc tuned
@@angelvacilon4117 And stroked to 1300cc.
Simca/Talbot
Awesome, way more interesting than a bike powered car.
Anyone else thinks that this car looks as if it was made with Legos?
Nuclear Trabant
When you have 1 arm almost completly extended to reach the wheel in a turn you are making a sacrifice in control
Nah it's called knowing the car and its limits.
🚗💥
Should win on aerodynamics alone 👍
Look at the front tyres flying in the air while cornering ( 2:04 )
Questa è un mostro 👍💪💪 ma che motore monta??
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Now this is my type of car. Not a lot of power but it weighs near nothing to make up for it.
Sounds fantastic, my tool shed is more aerodynamic!
Born in 60's. If you find it fun you can search about BMW2002 TI or Escort MKI or MKII or Renault 8 etc... I personnally think that Some of them would be exposed in a art museum . ☺
What's the type of gearbox is he using ? Is that a kind of semi-automated upshifting gearbox ?? Because he only used the clutch for down shifting, or he's actually so good that he got the perfect timing for shifting without clutch ???
I know him and yes he got the perfect timing when he push the engine at +8000rpm 😉
SIMCA I remember my father had one of this in dark blue.
Mine has one in white.
I had two in beige and one in light blue ( i Am not the jungest)
Had a roll over in one, needed a Volvo after that!
😘👍🤘
This color on a boosted Starlet GT Turbo would be Awesome.
Very nervous the small boy!!!!!!!!!
[Serious] Wouldn't a rear wing prevent the rear end from sliding out the corners?
Piotr Chylarecki Yes, but given the car has not that much power it would also impact straight line performance too much. So the best solution is to drive it on the limit of traction and have as less drag as possible when accelerating 😉
Where's the fun in that?
wer kann,der kann !!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍ok
I had a Simca Rallye 1 it was often not drivable rear engine and rear wheel drive in rain is an adventure but it was a funny time
@i. rob right, l had a bag of fine gravel ( especially for snow )
Corners like it's on rails

How is he up shifting without hitting the clutch?
I'm guessing straight cut gears but i'd also like to know.
I'm just scared. At the same time, it is my ideal.
160bhp, 1300cc... Hayabusa engine, perhaps?
Not on this case. It is a highly tuned version of the original 1000cc Engine.
@@HillClimbMonsters Ah, nice. Thank you for the info!
@@HillClimbMonsters is It still using carburators or has been converted to electronic fuel injection?
Great machine and great video
@@HillClimbMonsters (
@@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt Probably still using carbs. I know an engine tuner specialized in tuning classic mini engines, and on the side he also has some bmw of the 70's and a simca rallye 3. He uses dual 40 DCOE weber, an extremely aggresive camshaft ( around 300° duration), High comp ratio as well as a well thought out cylinder head. It brags around 150 bhp but really won't budge under full throttle below 4000 RPM, and the idle is extremely rough ( anything below 1500 and you feel like the engine is dying). Though, when rev to its nuts ( 9000 RPM, sometimes a bit more) it sounds amazing.
Greetings from Russia, we also look.
In French hillclimbs, there are a lot of Simca 1000 rally 3, but I think that rally 2 are more popular
Remember that a lot more Simca Rallye 2 units were built then Simca Rallye 3.. these things are pretty rare ;)
@@HillClimbMonsters yeah that kind of logical x)
Great coverage, interesting car, nice driving. Bagging by others... seriously...get a life.
Thanks Greg ;)
It looks like I could lift this thing onto the trailer
That's one fast lada!
Its not Lada is Simca.
Is a simca a Fiat abrath? Ive seen a fiat exactly the same body shape.
It is the same shape, but this is the last version ever sold. Little over 1000 were built and they were not not built with the Abarth collaboration. The y were called Simca 1000 Rallye 3.
@@HillClimbMonsters nice one. Thought I was going mad!! Appreciate the reply.
