Sometimes you feel it coming. Sometimes the only warning will be hearing the driver take a sudden breath or say something, but usually, you are still reading the next call as the world turns upside down.
I think that we are very lucky and should be very thankful to all the engineers and mechanics that make rallying less dangerous due to safety innovations especially in the roll cage. It is sickening to imagine how many drivers/co-drivers we could have lost without these safety innovations.
The worst WRC crash ive ever seen was Francois Delacour and Daniel Grateloupe at Rally Australia in 2002. Going head on into a tree on Murray Pines at 110mph. Impact was so huge (88g) both were knocked out and the engine was ripped clean out the Evo
This kind of racing along with motorcycle racing...these guys are in a class of crazy hard to describe...glad to know many of them live thru the crashes....I just shake my head and walk away....
Everyone talks about the rollcage but the biggest improvement was HANS device. Those without a doubt saves drivers and copilots just as much as the roll cages
Hi Cédric ! The man with the red overall just after his hillclimb at 0.52min was also my codriver 20 years ago but hopefully we stay on the road. Very good codriver 👍👍
I love Latvala but to be honest I loved his crashes in through his career even better! Its amazing how good he got by the end of his career! Still a Latvala Fan for life!
Nah that 1st one is by far the best (paused the video after). A car fully under the water and they got it going again to finish a rally. Remarkable to me
That finnish guy last year in Mexico crashed super hard into an electricity pole and went back to get something from the car risking to get buzzed right under the fallen high voltage wires.
I'd been watching from the exact spot where Colin went off but had just moved about 100m further up the track when it actually happened. The cause was a small stream running under the track that had collapsed the surface making a depression on the right hand edge. The track bent to the right at this point and of course all the drivers straight lined it, unaware of severity of the dip. The further to the right, the worse it got. Before the "main" drivers came along we watched the Ford Puma category contenders pass this point and quite a few of them were on the edge of losing it at this same point. As spectators we could see it was a crash waiting to happen but nothing we could do. We heard the crash and ran back to see the destroyed Focus on the opposite side in an open area of long grass. Luckily help was at hand and they both climbed out of the wreck unaided and got taken away by helicopter not long after.
Roll cage keeps the cockpit intact, it does nothing to reduce the forces on the body and organs being thrown around. These drivers are lucky, simple as that
@@Corey-pd3mi Okay let's do this. Your contention is that roll cages does nothing to reduce the force on internal organs therefore they are lucky to survive. I believe that over a half century roll cages in motorsport strongly disproves this contention. While yes I do concede the fact that it is damaging to the body to have the internal organs thrown around, to call the drivers survival lucky is a complete and utter disregard for strive for improvement in motorsport. If these drivers are purely "lucky, " Why is there such a significant reduction in fatal incidents in motorsport since the development of safety measures such as roll cages?
@@Corey-pd3mi That's not how luck works. Luck infers to an event that is improbable happening. Something being classified lucky or "un" lucky is dependant on weither the outcome is desirable or not. Therefore drivers who are killed with a rollcage are unlucky because the likelihood of death in a race car is significantly less with vehicles fitted with roll cages. An event can not both have a lucky and unlucky outcome.
And just like you, the official WRC channel made a mistake by not including Solberg's accident in Germany in 2003 or 2004 and Makinen's great crash in Sanremo in 2001. Additionally, during Makinen's accident in 2002 in Argentina, no one raises the issue of the fan who happened to have the Subaru fly over his head. If it weren't for the hole or ditch on which Subaru bounced into the air, this Fan would have been mowed down and would probably have died on the spot.
Yeah no yeah...we were a couple of minutes in, and I was beginning to say that a compilation of this order would be remiss not to feature Colin when-in-doubt-go-flat-out Mc Crae.
Makes a normal car crash and solicitors pushing for whiplash claims rather pathetic doesn’t it . And let’s face it car manufacturers are just as useless, poor performing engines , Micky mouse suspension, crappy electronics, impossible to diagnose can bus and ECU systems….. the list goes on 🙄. Nice footage 👍
Crazy to think how it looks from the co-drivers' povs. You read the notes, then suddenly the car is rolling down the road...😦
Jump-scare 🤯
And yet they dare to be rally co-drivers,what a special breed !
Amazing courage to be able to still compete after surviving major crashes like that 👏🏿!

Definitely a big kudos to all mechanics and engineers making this sport safer 🫶
2:06 average dirt rally 2.0 replay
Are you watching me
@@installshieldwizard3017 😂😂😂😂😂
2 free red bulls everyday for life yes for me
😊
5:20 that fan was VERY LUCKY
Just having fun at the Rally race! ; )
Gotta stand behind a safety tree!!
0:51 didnt know Elton John used to be WRC driver
The Rocketman 🚀

Indeed. Why it wasn't featured here is puzzling.
Is there a video?
Grateful for all the risks they take and the innovations that happen continually. Huge respect to all the engineers. Proper magicians !!
I loved the snorkels after finishing the race in a submarine. 😂😂😂
This kind of racing along with motorcycle racing...these guys are in a class of crazy hard to describe...glad to know many of them live thru the crashes....I just shake my head and walk away....
1:35 LOL
They really said: 🤿

"How did they survive?"
Group B has left the chat.
4:37 i think he DID NOT have tu push at all. he had to finish this rally "semi" fast and would have won. He just pushed in Mcrae fashion and crashed
Hi Cédric ! The man with the red overall just after his hillclimb at 0.52min was also my codriver 20 years ago but hopefully we stay on the road. Very good codriver 👍👍
You forgot the biggest and scariest crash in WRC history: Petter Solberg _ Panzerplatte
That was truly terrifying. Imagine knowing exactly what your roof is landing on next, but not knowing if it will be the last roll in your life.
I love Latvala but to be honest I loved his crashes in through his career even better! Its amazing how good he got by the end of his career! Still a Latvala Fan for life!
Forgot Märtin @ Argentina.
i just love how red bull always makes random documentaries not even about their own team
5:21 how did that guy get missed? 😮
Holy hell that was close.
0:05 that tree saved his life!
The Tommi Makenin crash dude was saved 5:20 by physics
Game over
5:20 did the car just flip over a bystander?????
Absolutely love Tanaks Scooba gear 1:35
Steeeeefan, Steeefan! Vi ligger inte bra här Stefan!
"Disclaimer: No Drivers were seriously harmed."
Just for your information, one person was killed in the first clip of your video.
0:34 Never seen Ken Block crashing his car before.
Nah that 1st one is by far the best (paused the video after). A car fully under the water and they got it going again to finish a rally. Remarkable to me
they all forgot to press a 'reset car' button before crash or mid-crash
1:10 Wow...look at all those people running to help....
Did you talked about a Latvia crash happened with ott tänak?
I love rally !!
Who recorded me and my bro playing WRC in split screen?
the funniest thing was that tanak decided to wear snorkels getting out the car when winning
Solberg’s germany crash with subaru must be on the list
Thanks for not having awful added music.
That finnish guy last year in Mexico crashed super hard into an electricity pole and went back to get something from the car risking to get buzzed right under the fallen high voltage wires.
Yeah that was Lappi. Very dangerous
@@varski76 oh yeah, Lappi, thanks.
Terbaik Boboiboy💪💪💪
Colin's crash is the one that stuck with me... I was rooting for him to win his second title, but then that log came from out of nowhere...

5 people were injured just watching this video!
Red Bull super promoution
Its scary to see their hand out of window while the car rollover
No WRC highlights anymore, Rally Bull?

Are yes roll cages...... famous for never saving a life.... What do you think happens if the cockpit doesn't stay intact?

did red bull just ripped a video of the wrc channel ?
Yeah no yeah...we were a couple of minutes in, and I was beginning to say that a compilation of this order would be remiss not to feature Colin when-in-doubt-go-flat-out Mc Crae.
Wasnt Robert Kubica also a big wrc crash?
Yeah and was nearly fatal… most people don’t want to see that
Nothing from the Killer B class from the 1980s ?
Baby B s are wild
Tanak only has monster accidents
It's good...if everyone stopped contouring the thumbnails and Red bull still do it in 2024...even in "paint"...😵💫
Fins are the bests in this sport
This whole video could be Latvala crashes :Dd
Insanity helps make them the best professional drivers in the world.
No way they fixed that wet thing lol
Y’all do everything but drink red bull😂😂
Jump in Finland
Crashes are cold sweat 💦)：
Colin Mcrae at finland 💀💀
スバルのラリーカーはいつだって美しい

Mechanic is way more incredible

average day in forza
Makes a normal car crash and solicitors pushing for whiplash claims rather pathetic doesn’t it .
And let’s face it car manufacturers are just as useless, poor performing engines , Micky mouse suspension, crappy electronics, impossible to diagnose can bus and ECU systems….. the list goes on 🙄.
Nice footage 👍
deffinetly not the biggest once
So we're not taking about Group B and all the deaths?
Since when was Carlos sainz a rally driver?
I think 1986 although I’m not sure
ford msport is a dumb ass rebrand
Some of them weren't survivable. You didn't cover those, but that's s different video.
Normally official channels don't really cover them when it ends very badly especially involving fatality, which I understand it's a sensitive issue
