- On this episode of The J-Turn, Jessi Lang finds out what it takes to be a rally co-driver. With the help of Scion Racing Rally driver Andrew Comrie-Picard and his co-driver Jeremy Wimpey, she learns the basics of recce, how to write pace-notes, and how and when to call them. As Jessi quickly learns, being a good co-driver means being many things at once-- a navigator, a rule-enforcer, a time-keeper, and a pace notes reader, to name a few, and is one of the most demanding roles a racer can play.
To show Jessi the ropes, the team uses Scion's new xD rally car, which debuted earlier this year at the Sno*Drift Rally on January 25th. Powered by a 1.8-liter 2ZR-FE that's fed by a GReddy turbo, the xD has received several upgrades this year including a boost in horsepower, a dog engagement transmission, a new suspension, and better weight distribution.

copiloting a rally car at speed is no easy ride. That was impressive & looked like mf'ing fun🏁🤙🏻
It was ridiculously fun. I think rally racing is one of the most exciting yet under-appreciated motorsports.
Jessi
Thank you, Chris! I appreciate the feedback and am grateful to have you as a viewer!
Jessi
She just came across so smooth like the camera isn't even there. What he said, very natural. She is going places. It doesn't feel like she is really trying to sell us like previous episodes. Quality production. Very informative, thanks everybody.
Agreed! Andrew was fantastic and we had a blast together.
Jessi
Jessi, your excitement, your laugh, the huge amounts of fun that you're having. . . are so infectious. You make me *almost* feel like I'm right there with you, and definitely make a lot of us wish that we were. You're already a freaking superstar, you're so talented, and the world is quickly finding out. Keep on going!
Great job, Jessi! You did very well in a sport that is extremely difficult to learn in a day. ACP is one of the best and one of my favorite drivers.
I always have a huge smile when watching her videos she really captures how any of us would feel
A lot of people here enjoy it this segment. It is different from the norm so it is refreshing to see.
We love hearing that! Thanks for watching, reading, and writing!
Jessi
That's so great to hear! Thanks, MrMoardin!
Jessi
So glad you enjoyed it!
Jessi
Actually she showed some rally potential in the last video. She seemed to pick up the techniques pretty quickly for someone who's not spent a lot of time sideways on gravel before. Same thing in the snow racing class she took.
So glad to hear it! I love guys who love gear head chicks! And we're not as rare as you may think...
Jessi
Jessi did an amazing job in the car. I've taken quite a few people for training rides like this and she was by far the best; I actually think she could be a very good pro codriver, and those are very rare. Everyone notices that she's good-looking, but the key for codriving is that she's very smart. You have to be to do it well.
And thanks for showing the world a rare insight into what goes on in the car! You can be on our team any time.
ACP
I appreciate your enthusiasm, MrChacha2011! Thanks for watching and for expressing your appreciation!
Jessi
Yes! My personal apologies if our editing didn't convey what a very cool guy Andrew is.
Jessi
This is to me the best video of the series and i think your best video yet. Congrats on your Jess
I've always enjoyed rally driving and I now have a whole new respect for the sport. It has just the right amount of skill, mix with a dash of courage, shaken with talent. Looks like fun....
Many thanks, James!
Jessi
Jessi ... when you have a moment ... check out your first video for motor trend. I happy that you're doing so well in your 'new' MotorTrend home. Love your enthusiasm and love for cars ... it is contagious!
All the best ... and happy motoring (stay safe)!
That is how we sit in the BRZ/FRS. He is a real pro. Crazy. Jessie did a good job. Looks like fun.
Awesome idea; I'm all about it. Working on setting something up with the incredible Mr. Randy Pobst...
Jessi
Great job Jessie! And demystifies all the stuff the co-driver is saying! Very cool.
Great video.jeez.thank you for the details for every rally fans out there
Totally agree, well done Jessy, i actually listened and learned. Good guys too. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Many thanks!
Jessi
Jessi,I watch your vids just for your laughter and the way you make me smile even on a bad day.You have taken what to me is a boring story about the art of rallying which is usually quite boring unless at race speeds and made me smile and laugh!
Thank You Very Much!
He wasn't being rude. He was just being professional and straightforward.
Much appreciated, TheMrJones! Thanks for watching and for letting us know what you think.
Jessi
really entertaining episode, Jessi did a great job at being the Co- driver
ANOTHER fantastic video. I'm also subscribed to the Motor Trend magazine and I am never disappointed.
AGREED!
Jessi
Engaging, informative, entertaining and produced in such a manor that the subject material is equally as important as the presentation. Out of the whole of the Motor Trend team Jessi is consistently open and honest. The others are a little two scripted and stagnant. Try having a look at other rallying pace-note guides on TH-cam without falling into a coma.
Jessi, your job looks like so much fun!
Awesome, indeed! I'd love to make that happen!
Jessi
Super cool vid. I really enjoy The J Turn. I didn't realize that teams could prerun a course. I thought that was only in desert racin' like the Baja 1000. Now when I'm watchin' ACP on tv I'll know what they're talkin' about when the co-driver says 'right 3 at crest'.
Something tells me that Jessie would be a great writer!!
I love all ur videos, please upload more. I wish you'd have one every day. I watch them, and share them with my friends:)
Angus when Jessi makes that face of pure concentration in the office she's probably playing Candy Crush. ;-)
Thank you for filming such great content, that is entertaining and very informative. Very Difficult to do, keep it up.
Short I am. 5 foot 2-ish...
Jessi
actually it is most definitely FWD - in the footage i can best see it at 8:42, where the front wheels are throwing up a ton more dirt as the car claws its way around the corner (and also, more obviously, the specs are written on the official scion rally website)
Hey Jessi. You should find a co-driver or driver to go rally with and film the whole experience. You seem to be picking the whole thing up pretty good. Would make lots of great content from preparing the car to races and everything around it. Enter some smaller rally in a manageable car class.
alot of them like the idea of fast cars lol happy to see u love to do and watch :)
What a great video! I never knew that was how it was done.
Troll hunting the Motor Trend way. :-)
With your media background I'm sure it's all water off a ducks back but to those who aren't as savvy may believe they achieve something by posting such critique.
I for one am thankful you follow up and delete such comments as I wouldn't let my niece and nephews watch these clips if the abuse and language was there. As always...
Good work Jessi and team.
It's great seeing you put through your paces Jessi. Well done on all the challenges so far. Look forward to seeing more. Perhaps single seater race cars, or RallyX?
Another great episode Jessi
Great video! Keep up the good work guys!
Jessi should be the voice of the co-driver on the next Dirt game (woohoos and laughter included).
It's almost like the driver and co-driver are taking on the separate roles of left-brain and right-brain for the car. Cool.
Now I'm wondering if Guillermo Del Toro was influenced at all by the driver/co-driver relationship with his new movie, Pacific Rim, which features very powerful and complicated mechs that require two pilots with a neural link to be able to pilot.
Anyways, thanks for another great episode.
She did a great job!
wow you got that just right !! you are a natural :) good fokus , clear notes i'm impressed :)
Very nicely done!
awesome episode
I hope next time it will be "learnng to gymkhana, with Ken Block". That would be awesome
I totally paused at 4:02-4:03 so funny! Good tip.
Great video Jessi!
jturn is really improving, I really like the new vids :)
Indeed! Lefties rule the world!
Jessi
np I could really feel your excitement, it makes me feel a bit like im there.
Pause at 4:03, and look at her face. Priceless!
Brilliant idea! I'd love to to play with such co-driving ;)
Damn that looks like a lot of fun.
This was great video showing what goes on behind the .. Oh look a deer! :)
You can abbreviate the directions even more so provided both driver and co-driver know what is meant (recce is important). I like reading pace notes but would rather be the one piloting...
wellI'm glad you had a blast!!
I was thinking of Mark Fischer when she was doing co-pilot. "... What the hell am I supposed to make of that when I’m flat out over a jump sideways at 90mph?". lol
Well spotted :) so can we predict whats next? Gymkhana ?
Great informative video.
Thanks!
Hey! Is this Motor Trend or The adventures of Jessi Lang ?
why the dislikes? that was really cool and informative
thanks. i used to try and watch tv coverage religiously but where i am now it's pretty much nonexistent =(
jessi reminds me of the dog in the disney movie UP.... "squirrel!!!" lol
That's the fastest I've ever seen one of those Scions go!
Cool informative video
Good Job Jessi.
love ur vids jessi ur improving!
keep it up ;)
That looks so fun, you're very lucky :)
"don't say 'right' say 'correct'". AllRIGHT allRIGHT!
Beautiful
Now I can buy this car
That takes a lot of skill to time all those turns correctly
awesome vid
Is it still front wheel drive because I have a XD and it has a solid rear axle and fwd
Where is this video being taken? Some freezing cold climate?
Jesse is left handed! Yeah! Being left handed rocks!
hey Jessi, i didnt understand the pace notes. can you explain please?
I wonder if It'd be better if they use the FR-S instead.
Hey Jessi, you should really get into motorcycle racing at racetracks.
Jessi looked like a bobble head with the helmet on!!!!!!!!!, LOL
Rally is the best motorsport after drifting:p
Jessi,
You are perfect!
Thomas
Jessi really likes flares
thu i believe that they should build a gps that can do that but that is allot of fun and it must gives a huge sense of achievement ,THANX sexy Jessi :)
PS
I seriously wanna see Jessi on a Ducati Panigale
Join the masses!
That driver sounded soooooooo condescending. like she's supposed to do it perfectly after he tells her once. "Yes L stands for left"
I really want to play Dirt 3 now
wait... didn't he want you to say "R 4..." instead of "right 4..."? anyways, you delivered another entertaining video, great job.
