for all those complaining that he didn´t go super fast or didn´t do some awesome drifting, keep in mind that as far as we know he is doing freelance journalism for the drive network. So we don´t know what kind of insurance he has, or wether he has some form of insurance paid by "drive" should he crash a car and or damage objects/cars/people/himself. Just think about well known car journalist Mark Hales, who drove a Porsche 917 for an article, without a written agreement who would pay damages. The engine blew and now he is about 200 000$ in debt. Jalopnik even did a whole article about it a while ago, to remind anyone that "yeah sure, just take a spint with my XX car" can cause quite some problems. So before critisizing ryan keep that in mind
Such Passion to build this car 037 and the Monty Carlo .Chris Harris the face of a highly thrilled man ,who,s older now ,but the fun is still there ,thanks for sharing this video and every one who made it possible
Truly awesome video. LEgit cannot believe that a couple of rural Kiwi farmers produced inch-perfect replicas of iconic rally cars and with such skill and craftsmanship. The music, the sights, the passion....this is why people love Italian cars and marques like Lancia. The 037 was a fire-breathing monster that no modern soul-less techno WRC car can possibly hold a candle to. I'm just about old enough to remember the Group A Delta's last hurrah and even then I remember being fascinated by them in their eye-catching Martini colours and being flung around by the likes of Kankunnen.
You should come to Italy. I have a 037, a S4 and a Delta Integrale HF Evo literally 5 mins walk from my house. Here in every city you can find someone who has a Lancia Integrale somewhere. So disappointed that our government is so bad, all the great racing brands we had are now broke or worse, producing econocars for Chrysler. But there are people who keep caring about those great masterpieces, and keep racing them.
This is one of the best series' on the internet right now...hands down...fantastic. It left me smiling, it left me intrigued, it made me feel like a kid again watching the early 90s rally videos.
I saw this car with panels on but no engine back in 2012 at the New Zealand WRC round, I'm very pleased to see it finished and even more blown away to see it on Drive. You've done NZ and it's rally scene a great justice Ryan, proud kiwi here.
Well done! Your back-story about the car(s), as well as the current story you presented, is very good. Also, your shots of these impressive cars is almost as wonderful as the New Zealand scenery you captured in the back ground. Again, nicely done and thanks! :)
This is such a great series. I'm learning all about rally cars that I had never known. Big props to the guy in the video living out his dreams and sharing with us.
Wow - I've always been a fan of the Lancia Stratos, and this Lancia 037 recreation is just amazing. Thanks for bringing it to us, Ryan - you're a lucky man for getting the chance to drive it.
Drive is literally like that food you eat so much but it gets better even after you've had it over and over again. I've been watching the channel since it was started but every now and then I find videos that whet my appetite for the same old thing. there's videos on here I've watched over 10 times lol I love you guys.
Best episode yet. Your knowledge, enthusiasm and love for rally are truly appreciated, and shine through in your words. Excellent series. You are the best thing on this channel after Chris Harris.
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched on youtube. I wish I could like this twice. The Lancia 037 is a beautiful car. Someone should build one in the United States.
This guy makes better videos by himself than 99.9% of car journalists do with television sized budgets. Seems like this series could be a good documentary as a completed work. Ending with donuts on wet grass was perfect. What joy more pure for a car nut?
You've done such a great job on this series. I can only imagine the time and work you've put into this. It really shows. I'm sure you are proud of this and you should be. Shows like this are like treasures to be found on TH-cam.
Saw this Lancia 037 on my way to work today, it'd been in Auckland for a car show. Amazing to see something like it casually driving along in rush hour traffic
The guys did a wonderful job recreating these legendary Lancias, I also wish more people would do stuff like that. And you got some very nice shots of them, too... excellent work all around.
First of all, Hearty Congratulations to the "Carteroni"!!! Secondly, Mr. Symancek, you've got yourself a fan!!! And the 037 is pure poetry. And the Stratos. Beautiful cars and classically correct. BTW, I saw a works Stratos, the car was on display, in 1998 in Jyvaskyla just outside the hotel that was serving as Rally HQ. I was there for Rally Finland, or the "1000 Lakes" as it was known in the olden days. You definitely have to see that rally once, trust me.
It amazes me what humans are capable of. What a superb piece of engineering. Marco Allen once said that still today if you go on tarmac in the 037 then you go fast. Perhaps the fastest group b car on tarmec. Without doubt the best looking group b car ever. EPIC BUILD....EPIC CAR....EPIC JOB
Awesome episode, well done Ryan. You seem to be a down to earth young fellow who is working hard and makes magic out of any situation that your are faced with. Eventually one of these episodes is going to be worse than the previous its bound to happen. But so far they keep getting better and better and better. Those Lancia's were works of art truly hand crafted masterpieces.
Allan Carter I bet it was! I just can't imagine how it must feel to finally be able to take it out and sit there and think; 'I made this!'. That must be so awesome!!
Killer car peace This video is so amazingly cool. It's so cool to know that the car's that i watched in the late 80's , and new nothing about . were just as cool as I thought they were according to car rallying enthusiast .this Has just fueled more of my car enthusiasm .And now I am leaning more toward making my project car in to a race car. Keep up the good work.
The road going Stradale is at the top of my list of dream cars. Admittedly the F40 is an incredibly close second. I will never own either, but the thought of them side by side 😍
great passion you put on lancia rally cars! that's explains why during my last year nz fishing trip I was astonished to see,out of the blue, in a small south island village (reefton) a martini group B lancia 037, I could'nt believe my eyes!!! I am italian from torino by the way. Grat job!!!
Fantastic viewing, New Zealand Rally scene thanks you for providing a window into the sport in the Land of long white cloud. All the best for the future and hope you return to NZ in the near future.
Man, that car is amazing! Imagine the day it came out, it was, and still is, fast as hell! Great video guys! Also I would like to point out that the filming in this video is fantastic!
Very cool Ryan, very cool. The show is getting better and better. I did have a massive smile seeing this ep. Also love the throw-back Group B music aswell, nice touch.
GRAZIE DI CUORE per questo bellissimo video-"omaggio" dedicato alla mitica Lancia😭💙🇮🇹💙🇮🇹💙🇮🇹💙🇮🇹💙aimè l'Europa del potere sta tentando da anni di distruggere questo Stivale che,grazie ai talenti creativi che Dio ci ha donato ha fatto sognare e camminare tutto il mondo
Loved the vid, very well done. Awesome cars, and I always loved the 037 more than the S4. One small correction though, the 037 is not the last rear driver to win a WRC rally, the Celica won the Safari and Ivory Coast in 86 while the Renault 5 won Corsica in 85. It was however the last two wheel drive to win the manufacturer's title.
It's stunning to see what can be achieved by few men with passion and a good deal of competence. Those are the firsts Stratos and 037 with the steering wheel on the right side that i'm aware of, and they're both amazing replicas. And Allan is the very first english speaker i heard who can pronounce Lancia the right way. It's not Lanceea, it's Lancha!
This is such an awsome series!!! I just want more!!! I cant wait a whole week!!! Lol. I guess that is how i feel inside. But i really do love rally. And these are some really cool experiences. The lancias are so cool! I love the stratos! Let alone the 037!!!!
I live in Wales (U.K), and New Zealand looks exactly the same in some places haha. The 037 going through the hills could have been in Brecon and I would be none the wiser!
When I saw the ads for this series, I was incredibly jealous you got to drive an 037. But when I found out it was a remake, I wasn't as jealous. Please note I said *as*. It's still an epic remake.
much of thruth in this. A Escort MK1 or MK2 is much more agile, and a way better handling car. But the escorts in 1984 had about 180 BHP. The manta 400 had 275 BHP. So horsepower actually did make up for the slightly less handling of the manta. But when honoust, the escort were and still are my favorit rallycar. That is also why I have 5 of them.
If another fast rally series like group B sprung up again, I'd go out in a heartbeat and buy whatever my favorite car was as long as they were similar to the race car
Craftmanship! Still in doubt which one I would desire most. Stratos, 037 or Delta Integrale.... Ah, my bank account.... yep it will be neither of them. Back to work tomorrow in my Mitsubishi Mirage (Space Star), haha.
KrekerisT It was the first drive of the car. Those guy's worked on it for 6 years, what did you expect? To risk it all so the intern can get some more exciting shots? *This is absolutely amazing as it is, few people get such an opportunity. Thanks to /Drive and Ryan we can experience it too*

037 the pinnacle of the rear drive rally cars. Lovely car they build there.

What’s not to love here? The cars, the land, the people, even the fowl running for cover-all for love.
You should come to Italy.
I have a 037, a S4 and a Delta Integrale HF Evo literally 5 mins walk from my house.

eh che sogno sarebbe vedere una 037 da vicino!
Every itlian loves Berlusconi, corruption and mafia stuff... italians will always get what they deserves since roman empire..

I don't know if I'm more happy about this show or for Ryan. Keep it up!
Well done! Your back-story about the car(s), as well as the current story you presented, is very good. Also, your shots of these impressive cars is almost as wonderful as the New Zealand scenery you captured in the back ground.
Again, nicely done and thanks! :)
037 was always my favorite Lancia, thanks for such a fantastic video, Drive is getting better and better!!
These two fellas are blessed with skills and patience I could only dream off, and admire. To build from scratch, wow.
This is such a great series. I'm learning all about rally cars that I had never known. Big props to the guy in the video living out his dreams and sharing with us.
Wow - I've always been a fan of the Lancia Stratos, and this Lancia 037 recreation is just amazing. Thanks for bringing it to us, Ryan - you're a lucky man for getting the chance to drive it.
I am so extremely thankful, that I get to see this video. Craftmanship and skill. Allan Carter, you are a magician.
I can smell the passion when he talks he's almost speechless to be sitting in that car. I applaud you my friend live your passion.
Drive is literally like that food you eat so much but it gets better even after you've had it over and over again. I've been watching the channel since it was started but every now and then I find videos that whet my appetite for the same old thing. there's videos on here I've watched over 10 times lol I love you guys.

Excellent series.
You are the best thing on this channel after Chris Harris.
To do a piece like that on your own is an immense task. Great job!
Thank you. I'd had filming help on some of the others... but yes, this one was shot, hosted, edited all on my own. Glad you appreciate that :)
And this ladies and gentlemen is why /MY LIFE as a RALLYIST is my favorite show on the drive network.
Ryan is getting better and better with each video. Love that you guys took a chance on him, great series.
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched on youtube. I wish I could like this twice. The Lancia 037 is a beautiful car. Someone should build one in the United States.
Ryan's improvement with each episode is noticeable. Kudos for Drive on making this happen.
037 is my favourite car. The sheer skill it takes to handle it is amazing, it also looks so mean.
Great episode once again. Great to see people being enthusiastic about stuff.
TRES BELLE VOITURE
The lancia builds in this video are truly amazing. Even if they don't drive like the real thing, thats one hell of a job!!
This guy makes better videos by himself than 99.9% of car journalists do with television sized budgets. Seems like this series could be a good documentary as a completed work. Ending with donuts on wet grass was perfect. What joy more pure for a car nut?
What a dream come true. Start to finish. Thank you so much for sharing these moments. Wow!
You've done such a great job on this series. I can only imagine the time and work you've put into this. It really shows. I'm sure you are proud of this and you should be. Shows like this are like treasures to be found on TH-cam.

damn I missed it where???

I literally applauded when you took it out in the paddock!
Best thing on the Internet. Drive, I owe you for putting this to production.
I'm really happy for you Ryan, you're living a dream of many including myself. Looking forward to future videos.

First of all, Hearty Congratulations to the "Carteroni"!!!
Secondly, Mr. Symancek, you've got yourself a fan!!!
And the 037 is pure poetry. And the Stratos. Beautiful cars and classically correct.
BTW, I saw a works Stratos, the car was on display, in 1998 in Jyvaskyla just outside the hotel that was serving as Rally HQ. I was there for Rally Finland, or the "1000 Lakes" as it was known in the olden days. You definitely have to see that rally once, trust me.

I am binge watching this series like it is GOT. Please keep it coming.
Fantastic story ! And seeing the Stratos and 037 on the road was great !
Two legends in the same frame. Magnificent!
Breathtaking! I wish I was there, I love, love Lancia and Group B!
Ryan, this episode was the best of your series so far. Great job! I'm really looking forward to your work in the future.
These fellows were so clever to make modular, the mounting points for original, factory Lancia parts!
You guys @DRIVE better keep Ryan in the team, this has kept me around to watch, and imagine what is next in your series!
Awesome episode, well done Ryan. You seem to be a down to earth young fellow who is working hard and makes magic out of any situation that your are faced with. Eventually one of these episodes is going to be worse than the previous its bound to happen. But so far they keep getting better and better and better. Those Lancia's were works of art truly hand crafted masterpieces.
Loved every second of this, just fantastic.
Lancia, rally queen! Stratos, 037, Delta Integrale, Delta HF, S4... Wonderful cars.
Speechless. Thank you so much, think a phone call is in order :)
It's absolutely stunning Allan, hope you're enjoying having it around after all that hard work.
Thanks Allan! So glad to have it out for you guys!
Ryan Symancek Doing a great job with this series, You're so lucky you got to drive Allan's Lancia, I'm so jealous Ryan haha
Jonny Edge Thanks Jonny, A long journey for sure but so worth it!
Allan Carter I bet it was! I just can't imagine how it must feel to finally be able to take it out and sit there and think; 'I made this!'. That must be so awesome!!
Killer car peace This video is so amazingly cool. It's so cool to know that the car's that i watched in the late 80's , and new nothing about . were just as cool as I thought they were according to car rallying enthusiast .this Has just fueled more of my car enthusiasm .And now I am leaning more toward making my project car in to a race car.

Great stuff, great story and project for these guys!
This is very very good car enthusiast material.
Well done, and thank you for sharing Ryan!
Amazing projects - both the Lancia and Ryan’s rally story.
The road going Stradale is at the top of my list of dream cars. Admittedly the F40 is an incredibly close second.
I will never own either, but the thought of them side by side 😍
BRAVO! Awesome footage, music and passion towards rallying.
Attention all riced out civic owners... Please send your built not bought stickers to these guys. Thank you
great passion you put on lancia rally cars! that's explains why during my last year nz fishing trip I was astonished to see,out of the blue, in a small south island village (reefton) a martini group B lancia 037, I could'nt believe my eyes!!! I am italian from torino by the way.
Grat job!!!
This series gets better and better..
A work of art
.thanks for uploading .just pure beauty
great video. thank you. 037 is my all time favorite super car/rally. nothing comes close to it, nothing.
Fantastic viewing, New Zealand Rally scene thanks you for providing a window into the sport in the Land of long white cloud. All the best for the future and hope you return to NZ in the near future.
Man, that car is amazing! Imagine the day it came out, it was, and still is, fast as hell! Great video guys!
Also I would like to point out that the filming in this video is fantastic!
Of course, it is simplicity at it's best!
Honestly gave me shivers watching. Awesome work Ryan.
Very cool Ryan, very cool.
The show is getting better and better. I did have a massive smile seeing this ep.
Also love the throw-back Group B music aswell, nice touch.

Love these cars-amazing craftsmanship.
I love when you drive the little Lancia Delta GT...to me is the "key intro car" of the story. A really good match! Compliment!
So much passion.. So much skill. Incredible!
Loving this series. The Carter's must have trusted you to let you have a shot. Can't wait for the next episode.
What an epic car.
Very well done.
Peeerfect! I also liked a lot the episode with chris harris and the black lancia. Eleeectric!
It's stunning to see what can be achieved by few men with passion and a good deal of competence.

The "Carteroni Special"-episode :-) Loved it, what a car!
Great adventure you had in New Zealand. It was very kind of them ti let you drive their car.
he's a nice guy ;)
Ahhhh what a gorgeous recreation.
Made my spine tingle :-)
A truly amazing video. Thank you Drive and Ryan, for sharing this with us. Keep it up!
Seriously one of the best video series I've seen on youtube! Can't wait to see your next video Ryan.
Fantastic video! thanks for share your experience. What a special grass roots shop.
Great new episode. Your photographic work pleases me too. Continue just like that.
AWESOME!!! thank you for sharing your journey with us!
great story on this lancia 037, keep it up ryan...
Surely one of my favorite! Hope to drive one someday..
This is such an awsome series!!! I just want more!!! I cant wait a whole week!!! Lol. I guess that is how i feel inside. But i really do love rally. And these are some really cool experiences. The lancias are so cool! I love the stratos! Let alone the 037!!!!
this guy is great,you can feel his love for cars!!!
I live in Wales (U.K), and New Zealand looks exactly the same in some places haha.
The 037 going through the hills could have been in Brecon and I would be none the wiser!
this is the greatest web series that i ever saw !!!
When I saw the ads for this series, I was incredibly jealous you got to drive an 037. But when I found out it was a remake, I wasn't as jealous.
Please note I said *as*. It's still an epic remake.
This car is just so amazing.
Brilliant series Ryan, thoroughly enjoying this!
I have only just seen this video. Absolutely beautiful!
nice to see something like this
I'm currently building a Manta 400 Rallycar Replica
Love the Manta, my first road legal car was a Manta GTE.. 15 years ago
Recently bought an original GTE
Manta is nice, but no match to an Escort RS never
much of thruth in this.
A Escort MK1 or MK2 is much more agile, and a way better handling car.
But the escorts in 1984 had about 180 BHP. The manta 400 had 275 BHP.
So horsepower actually did make up for the slightly less handling of the manta.
But when honoust, the escort were and still are my favorit rallycar. That is also why I have 5 of them.
Beer Bibber you have 5??? You are a happy man!!!
Very faithful recreation of a proper classic. Dem Kiwis
best episode in the series, plz bring this back, please /DRIVE?
If another fast rally series like group B sprung up again, I'd go out in a heartbeat and buy whatever my favorite car was as long as they were similar to the race car
Great watch. Big Lancia fan. Love, love, love it!🤗
Best of luck Ryan!Great video and a truly beautiful car.
This kid is living my dream. Great video series! Keep up the good work! Rally on fellow rallyist!!!
Outstanding episode Ryan, excellent work.
Awesome episode, loving this series! Glad you had so much fun in New Zealand, looked like a blast! Keep it coming!
Craftmanship! Still in doubt which one I would desire most. Stratos, 037 or Delta Integrale.... Ah, my bank account.... yep it will be neither of them. Back to work tomorrow in my Mitsubishi Mirage (Space Star), haha.
Ronald de Rooij I want a Ford RS200 evo.. .-.
Absolute overpowered insanity.
+Diax1324 who doesn't lol
Legio XXI Rapax I'd like a fulvia aswell
Legio XXI Rapax That little V4 really does like to sing. Such a beautiful car too
KrekerisT It was the first drive of the car. Those guy's worked on it for 6 years, what did you expect? To risk it all so the intern can get some more exciting shots?
*This is absolutely amazing as it is, few people get such an opportunity. Thanks to /Drive and Ryan we can experience it too*
