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
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
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....
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!
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 👍👍
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.
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.
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 👍
2:06 average dirt rally 2.0 replay
Are you watching me
@@installshieldwizard3017 😂😂😂😂😂
2 free red bulls everyday for life yes for me
😊
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 🫶
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 🚀
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

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. 😂😂😂

"How did they survive?"
Group B has left the chat.
1:35 LOL
They really said: 🤿
Forgot Märtin @ Argentina.
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!
i just love how red bull always makes random documentaries not even about their own team
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.
Absolutely love Tanaks Scooba gear 1:35
The Tommi Makenin crash dude was saved 5:20 by physics
5:21 how did that guy get missed? 😮
Holy hell that was close.
Game over
"Disclaimer: No Drivers were seriously harmed."
Just for your information, one person was killed in the first clip of your video.
Did you talked about a Latvia crash happened with ott tänak?
0:05 that tree saved his life!
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 👍👍
1:10 Wow...look at all those people running to help....
0:34 Never seen Ken Block crashing his car before.
they all forgot to press a 'reset car' button before crash or mid-crash
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
Wasnt Robert Kubica also a big wrc crash?
Yeah and was nearly fatal… most people don’t want to see that
Steeeeefan, Steeefan! Vi ligger inte bra här Stefan!
Haiundai?
Solberg’s germany crash with subaru must be on the list
I love rally !!
5:20 did the car just flip over a bystander?????
Thanks for not having awful added music.
5 people were injured just watching this video!
Terbaik Boboiboy💪💪💪
did red bull just ripped a video of the wrc channel ?

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

@@jasonkay194 drivers still die with roll cages, why is that, they must be unlucky, so that infers those that survive are lucky 🤦♂️

No WRC highlights anymore, Rally Bull?

Yeah that was Lappi. Very dangerous
@@varski76 oh yeah, Lappi, thanks.
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...

Tanak only has monster accidents
Nothing from the Killer B class from the 1980s ?
Red Bull super promoution
Its scary to see their hand out of window while the car rollover
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.
Baby B s are wild
Fins are the bests in this sport
Insanity helps make them the best professional drivers in the world.
This whole video could be Latvala crashes :Dd
It's good...if everyone stopped contouring the thumbnails and Red bull still do it in 2024...even in "paint"...😵💫
Y’all do everything but drink red bull😂😂
スバルのラリーカーはいつだって美しい
Me every single time I play wrc 10
Jump in Finland
Crashes are cold sweat 💦)：
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Mechanic is way more incredible
deffinetly not the biggest once
Since when was Carlos sainz a rally driver?
I think 1986 although I’m not sure
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
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 👍
So we're not taking about Group B and all the deaths?
ford msport is a dumb ass rebrand
Colin Mcrae at finland 💀💀
