Even with that taken into consideration, Tommi deserved to win after the hard work he put into crawling it back after a bad start to the season. He won the previous three rallies, and he probably would have won the championship by getting a podium finish if that oil patch incident didn't happen. Carlos was smug about this accident and got too ahead of himself. He got exactly what he had coming to him.
@@lotusraptos You forget that in the Australian rally, Tommi jump the exit to a stage and should be penalized, which would have given the victory to Carlos Sainz in that rally and would have left him leader for the last race...
@@Alonso-mt9sc A year late, but even if the penalty was warranted (it wasn't), then that would still mean Tommi would be champion. Sainz didn't crash into the the barriers because the marshalls slowed him. If Sainz went first, he would have crashed into the barriers too, and the relatively bulletproof Mitsubishi would have made it to the end of the rally.
One of the MOST painful losses in motorsport history that's for sure. It's extremely sad and painful just watching this video, imagine what Carlos must've felt. 500 meters to the finish line...fucking 500 meters! Just unbelievable.
@@prisonermonkeys8613 Well Ralliart deconstructed that penalty by appealing on the fact that in 98 the starting procedure was not that clear, with a clock at the start and a manual "go!" too, with differences from round to round, so the rules were flawed and the penalty could not be applied. Technically fair, but from the sport point of view that's really unfair. What saddens me the most is not the penalty, it's that all the Corollas had defective pistons for that round. Brundle and Sainz retired for that reason, and while Auriol retired for clutch issues, the next day he had his car fixed for some media runs, and guess what: the engine was spitting pistons.
Carlos, you already are in the books of history and still rallying, without doubt, the best Spanish driver ever, and one of the best in the world. And you Luis, what to say, without you none of that amazing moments would have been possible. Thank you both!
It was obviously heartbraking for Sainz, but there definitely was fairness in this, because he was warned about the oil on the road before, and would have crashed just like Mäkinen if not for the warning. And this failure can be attributed to his car and/or support team, unlike Mäkinen's crash which was totally beyond his or his team's responsibility.
To win, you must finish first. That's the big truth of motorsport racing. I still remember it, because it happened on one of my worst period of my life, I was in the hospital recovering of a ruptured appendix that caused a peritonitis (two and a half months on it). And I was watching it on my hospital bed, I thought it was too bad to be truth. But then... "carreas son carreras" and Sainz continued to be the champion that he is, winning the Dakar Rally, for exemple. Thanks, Antti!
I was 10 years old in this moment, and I had been crying two days, Carlos was for me a legend and through the years become an a real legend for me. I knew if I see the video I will cry, and really any tear has left of my eyes. GRANDE CARLOS, GRANDE LUIS, sois la leyenda viva del automovilismo español.
In 1994 I visited my first WRC event in Finland. As Kankkunen rolled on the opening (or second) stage, Sainz was the first through and thus the first WRC driver I ever saw in action. In that moment, in a Finnish forest, he became my hero. Four years later I was watching the live BBC broadcast of this heartbreaking moment. I cried. Thanks for the vid Antti, keep them coming.
Antii, congratulations for this videowork!!! For those spanish rallyefans, that was a terrible day in our lifes, I love the poetry that you improve in this video! I never seen this moment like you present us... Thanks from the bottom of my heart!
I start to watch WRC from 1997! My favorite driver is Tommi, but I love all drivers from this times, seasons, years! It was most interested, dramatic and greatest time of "modern" WRC. How about the 2001 season only)) Amazing! I've recorded many races of this seasons on my old video tapes)) Heh....What a times!!! Antti, 5 stars as allways for the vid! And thx)
Tbh tommi deserved the title more than Carlos that year his engine failed on 2 rallies while he was leading and on another when he was somwhere in the top 6 while carlos' failed once (granted it was at the worst possible time) not to mention that tommi probably wouldn't have retired on the RAC because he was the only driver not to know about the oil being first on the road. Carlos is an amazing driver but Tommi was better IMO and seemed humble and less cocky. I used to feel really sorry for Carlos about what happened that day and still do but definetly less now that he seemed to be a dick about Tommi's misfortune of not being allowed to continue the rally
Carlos had a lot of bad luck on RAC Rally. In 89 he lost first place few stages before end of rally. In this year won Pentti Airikkala. In 91 he lost title on RAC Rally. In 92 he got title on RAC Rally. And in 98 he lost title again.. Carlos really have a bad luck on RAC Rally. But you're right. Tommi was better driver. Yes, Carlos won many of rallyes, too. But Tommi was true 'Flying Fin'.
Sainz lost points due punctures in Catalonya and Corsica (he was on a podium place in Spain and also in Corsica, or 4th, when it happened) in that season, not to mention he did not retire due his own mistake, where as Tommi crashed in Monte and Portugal. Tommi was faster, Sainz more consistant. Being consistant is how Richard Burns (RIP) won his title in 2001. In overall terms, Mäkinen was unbeatable in 1996-99 but seemed to have lost his magic 2000 onwards, especially being beaten by Solberg in Subaru 2002-3 and only came close to title in 2001. Sainz on the otherhand kept up scoring wins throughout his career and was in the title fight in 2000, 2001 and 2003 and beat Grönholm in a fair fight in Argentina 2004, when he was in his 40s.
TheSchumisko Perus Saataja i don't think makkinen was better driver than Sainz. Sainz changed so many cars and he was always on top. Makkinen was good only to Mitsubishi.
@@sennasound Wrong. Carlos didn't fully deserve the 1995 Championship as much as Colin McRae. That was definitely without any shadow of a doubt was well deserved by Colin. He also deserved 1997 and 2001, as the reliablity issues really dragged him down. 1998 also sucked for Colin because reliablity issues hindered not only the championship, but also a 1-2 for the McRae brothers. That would have been spectacular to see... I'd even argue 2000 and 2002 could also fall under the same bracket (reliablity), but more so for '97 and '01 because he lost those years by one and two points respectively.
@@lotusraptos You have your own opinion on what happened in Catalunya 1995, Carlos was not agree with the team orders he want to fight, and both Calos and Colin have the agreement to continue fighting and subaru stop both, to win the costructors championship but at the last time Colin thougths change, and push, when Carlos is not pushing at all, in fact Colin, have an excuse with Moya and Sainz days before and he said that he was his fault not been honest, wich was a great gesture.Carlos was leadind all rally, Colin was pushing, but I think Carlos could win this rally with no team orders. This year Carlos win in Montecarlo and Portugal, and where faster than colin on the asphalt events, like Corsica. Also remember that Carlos was injured at new zealand and he did not run there(Colin wins),and was not 100% in Australia, where he broke the car engine. For that and for me Colin DON'T really deserve to win this year. Anyway, Colin was and incredible talent, mybe the fastest driver I ever seen, potentially speaking, he was amazing to see him driving, his skills were incredible, he deserve more titles 1997,1998 sure even 1999, 2001 was amazingly fast, but make a huge mistake on Rac rally, those mistakes, that other drivers does not do that often. But if he didn't crash he was unbeatable sometimes.Of couse is my opinion you have yours..
I’ve seen him so many times in the ACROPOLIS stages for many years. Carlos is a very fast, hard worker, emotional, strategic and talented rally driver. The specific round was absolutely unexpected, thus if you know about rallies you never can be sure if you don’t pass the final flag. That’s the real magic of rallies.
Great video! Maybe should have included the first things he said after he walked away from the car, when they asked him why he didn't push the car and he answered "no way" and then ended it with "that's life". Very stoic moment!
What a man what a rally driver a truly legend. Carlos Sainz one of the 3 greatest rally drivers. Him loeb and kankunnen the greatests rally drivers of all time
Самый трагичный момент в истории WRC. На кону титул чемпиона мира. Спасибо за очень красивый ролик. Весь трагизм и все великолепие WRC во взглядах и жестах....

The most dramatic finish in motorsports history together with the Indy 500 2011 finish. I don't think anything can beat these two finishes. Simply can't write stuff like this
Se descubrió que fue un defecto de materiales. Al día siguiente el otro Toyota Corolla en una exhibición rompió el motor por el mismo motivo. Fue un palo muy duro para todo un país. Todavía hoy muy recordado. Comentar que aunque siempre se dice que fue por 500 metros no es así. Una vez acabado el tramo tendría que haber cubierto un enlace de muchos km. Así es la competición..
Mangouras si eso casi nadie lo dice por que no entienden pero efectivamente les quedaba el enlace Hasta el parque cerrado de llegada pero hay como sabrás si esta la asistencia rápida y algo se podría haber hecho o no y luego están los te quillas y las trampas para llegar todos las e mos heho ja ja un saludo
all those interviews to sainz about world championship being handed to him like a christmas present honestly must have multiplied the salt in the wounds for the engine failure all around fucking insane season final
I was actually there in 1998 when Tommy got it wrong, still have the pictures to prove it somewhere. Seeing Sainz sputter to a halt with 300 yards to go, utterly incredible.
It is ironic that Toyota became one of the world's largest automobile manufacturers because of building reliable vehicles yet they experienced excruciating failures such as this and the 2016 Le Mans 24 hour race.
Carlos: 99% Myself & 1% Makinen Makinen: Well, We will see what that 1% can do *Proceeds to have the greatest but bizzarre Title climax in WRC History*
from what i heard, it was one of the pistons that failed right at that moment. it was a known issue and apparently they showcased that happening to the other corolla later on
I hate this vid. Not because of the quality (it is very good), but because I was heartbroken when it happened, and I am heartbroken again watching this. Still I will give thumbs up.
Stewart Murray Or give him police escort on the road back to service, like Sainz had in Australia '01, or Loeb in Mexico '05. Not European countries, but still, British police likes stopping damaged cars a bit too much...
Scotty Kilmer possibly still in disbelief that a Toyota engine broke down. A racing engine so not just any engine. I got this VHS decades ago, thankful that its on youtube because this commentary isnt on my VHS tape

And history repeats itself, but this time it happened at Le Mans.
***** Totally agree. I could hardly believe what I was watching.
When I heard the call, "I have no power." I was like, "WHAT!?"
Toyota and underdogs??? Go figure...
@dojOdRiFTeR I will never forget that race.
History repeated again this year in the final SuperGT race at Fuji.
Some kind of irony. Toyota will come back to Rallying with Mäkinen in the managers seat..
and Sainz working for VW
Sainz works for Peugeot
oh right, he did work for VW for a bit, not sure if he stopped working for them before of after they recently pulled out though
Been working with them since they returned Dakar, so 2014.
And Toyota guys Tänak and Latvala have the same style like Mäkinen 1998: ON/OFF. Win or crash.
Looks like the 1% Tommi won
Makinen should have got a penalty in Australia for his jump start, so undeserved champion.
@@prisonermonkeys8613 24 years
I just friking love the editing from 1:29 ... the shift of emotions, the music and voice over, and the upcoming tension. Just great.

Christian Skoglund This is the most underrated comment on the whole internet
Hahahhahaha
hahahahahaha
Fucking priceless :D
I hate how it’s always the 10mm, not any higher nor lower, only the 10.
So glad Mäkinen ended up winning. There's a video of him on YT, getting a call mid interview letting him know what happened to Sainz. It's pure gold.
Sainz? I heard he begged his son to not go for F1 and because a Rallyist like him.
@@jayive34 that's a lie, he forced him into F1 because nowadays is much less dangerous than rallying

The beauty of motorsport 👍
To win it reflects the whole year not that last rally

ME CAGO EN SU PUTA MADRE! - Priceless.
As a Ford fan, I feel sorry for Sainz and Toyota "The best car in the world." (as Toyota Corolla had an advertising message in a commercial).
Carlos did not deserve and ending like this, he deserved to win,but like he said “Thats life” Carlos is and will always be a legend

Great job as usual, that was fate taking a piss if I may say so. Damn only a few hundred meters from the finish.
A rally ends at the last stage's finish. This is rallying.
03:05 as a Finn just warms my heart.
Recuerdo la portada del día siguiente en el diario Marca. Decía así.. “Campeón del mundo de la mala suerte”. Tremendo 👍🍺
created that iconic Mäkinen interview also carlos weak for not pushing that car to finish :P
I hate this vid. Not because of the quality (it is very good), but because I was heartbroken when it happened, and I am heartbroken again watching this. Still I will give thumbs up.
As a Finn, I was of course glad that Tommi won the championship, but at the same time I felt bad for Carlos. That was just brutal.
MITÄ!!!!!
This rally was the WRC's equivalent of Man City vs QPR in 2012, or the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix.
1.31. I can't believe how much Carlos was about to joke before accomplish it ! Huge mistake ! In motorsport the odds can be easly overturn !
So, Toyota IS cursed...
Remember on advert:" Did you se broken Corolla?"
Carlos Sainz did.
I remember this and the pettiness of the police really annoyed me. Any integer country in Europe would have let him keep going.
Stewart Murray Or give him police escort on the road back to service, like Sainz had in Australia '01, or Loeb in Mexico '05. Not European countries, but still, British police likes stopping damaged cars a bit too much...
