Colin McRae onboard Rally Finland 2001 - Ford Focus RS WRC rally car - Valkola and Lankamaa stages.

[@PTKilowatt]

This is one of those moments in Rally where your hair stands on end and you can't look away. You're transfixed, hungry for the driver to go around that next turn or over that jump. And at that point unbelievers realize what Rally is all about. Thank you for the memories, the thrills, and the personality Colin. There will be none like you in my lifetime at least, if not for all time.

[@isaacbenson6663]

beautifully said. Colins name will be remembered for years to come. What a legend

[@zoltan5200]

For ever Colin

[@zoltan5200]

For ever rallye . Not elektromobil. Not , not, not

[@danielhampson3429]

Man and machine in perfect harmony! R.I.P. forever a legend.

[@wrc]

Starts with SS6 Valkola 2 - 8.42 km with a time of 4 minutes 28.4 seconds, average speed of 112.9 km/h. Just 1 second slower than Marcus Grönholm. 4:35 Stopline with Colin and Nicky talking about the time. Next stage starts at 5:01 SS7 Lankamaa 2 - 23.47 km. 9:11 scary moment, bump puts the car onto 2 wheels! Colin McRae finished Rally Finland 2001 in 3rd place. He was driving a Ford Focus RS WRC rally car.

[@SolidGeordieMGS]

Makes sense that only a Finnish driver beats this time. This was spectacular to watch!

[@unitedfan9646]

I can never complete Finland without terminal damage on dirt rally 2.0😂

Bro how i am stuck.

[@Wario7793]

I LOVE watching Colin McRae in action! I have the Colin McRae Rally 2005 game and the co-driver sounds EXACTLY the same in the game, although here, he sounds like he's being shaken violently while he's trying to talk LOL

[@AppelCheeks]

Co Driver Sounds The Same Because It Is The Same Co Driver.

[@matthewpoulter5]

​He's also being shaken violently that's why he sounds like it

[@adriantoye]

One of the best onboards ive ever watched!! Awesome

[@svtuner]

The best part about this vid is that when he hears the call "jump" he gives it some more gas! what a hero, what a loss R.I.P. Colin!

[@ToXiCxBlizz]

Colin Mcrae the man with no fears, Maximum attack always R.I.P Colin

[@jsaundersmusic]

excellent save at 9.18

[@TUHOKAPTEENI]

+jsaundersmusic Yup, and that flick at 3:30. Respect. Rest in peace Colin.

[@jackcp50]

amazing, 8:30 onwards is just unbelievable. Can hear Nicky is scared out of his mind. Most naturally talented driver the world has ever seen and ever will.

[@jackclass5446]

hmm that a bold statement......

Ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics. Ye cannae change the laws of physics, Jim. Oh. Wait. I just watched Colin McRea driving through a forest.👍

[@Balance2097]

this is perfection, my eyes cant believe how fast this is, and how he nails every single twist; hes going 4 times faster than ive ever been on a dirt road. its a pity people try and do this every weekend near me in their old holden commodores with 3 drunk teenagers for co-drivers.

[@pachu72]

3:30 he slides the focus to 45 degrees to the left before taking the 5right...monster...rip

[@drpunkerz]

Amazing driving. Really shows you how much Colin was always giving 110%! Unbelievable.

You still think nascar drivers have this degree of talent?? Dream on!

@@jackclass5446 Turn left turn left turn left turn left turn left. lol

[@fkylw]

@@jackclass5446 ​ "can't" and "won't" are being interchanged in your comment. Rally racers CAN and would do Nascar if there was incentive. NASCAR drivers (in this era and the eras that brought it to be popular) don't have the same cultural background that supports good rally racing and lack the generational knowledge transfer that other countries have for WRX. Your comment about F1 is just plain, as you said it, ignorant - F1 racers can literally do anything, they see lines others don't see and they know more technique for racing than NASCAR drivers. The latter having only small technique like mental endurance, mental discipline, physical endurance (specific muscle groups). It's really apples to oranges and the entire argument is stupid to begin with so I digress.

[@fenwa592]

@@fkylw F1 and wrc drivers are probably equal, but F1 drivers would struggle in nascar because the cars are so different. Basically, each driver is best at their respective sport.

one of the most talented drivers ever, survives some of the most dramatic crashes ever, then dies in a chopper, tragic.

EPIC! that was much faster than this morning... 4 secs faster!!! WTF?? that was still a kickass driving, even 10-15secs slower would have been kickass driving. Colin you showed every1 that left foot could and should be used to brake. RIP

Colin was one of the great users of Scandinavian flick. Like you can see from this video.

The crazy part is that he makes it look effortless

[@Youtub1512]

3:25 shows who's da man!!

[@Wario7793]

Yeah, I imagine it's different with different co-drivers. I learned that system from the Colin McRae game I have and an earlier DOS version.

[@nunom3]

the best ever co-pilot in wrc...rip

[@QNRD]

Thank you :D

[@qettyz]

@Silenced140 Hi, no it's not about shifting. "Scandinavian flick" is technique used to when entering the corner. Like you see on the video, braking and then he kind a flips car from left to right hand corner just before the corner.

[@peticco]

I looove the cool voice of the copilot. Like hes reading a newspaper in his livingroom.

[@crazyhippie69]

That's right! The number of the corner it's the suppouse gear that the driver must ride the turn. 1 being the thightest and 6 the most open. I hope it helps!

[@Turbo1987attack]

9:16 ! ! ! crazy ! ! !

[@FleXu90]

That is the main thing in order to make proper notes. You see, the more experienced the pilot is and the more "eye for road" he has, the more accurate the notes. It´s as simple as that. But doing it is way more complicated.

[@nunom3]

colin ruled the wrc...very sad rally's without the too best drivers colin/burns that god be with you guys....R.I.P

[@AlejjSi]

Yes,Colin used the numbers 1-6 which refered to gears,but he still used 6 when driving 5speed Fabia

[@JohnDaubSuperfan369]

The numbers don't refer to gears

[@AlejjSi]

@@JohnDaubSuperfan369 Colin McRae's pacenotes did refer to gears. That's why you never hear 7 or above in his career ever. 6 was a flat corner, 1 was 90°. Of course, you can hardly do a "6 right" on 6th if you are coming out of a "2 left", but it menas that ideally you would do it on 6th if it was just that corner alone. Most other drivers using the number pacenotes did not connect it to gears, which is why usually 1 would mean almost a straight and somethink like 6 or 7 a very tigh corner.

[@edukateSGdotcom]

WOW! That was amazing!

[@l3yt3ris]

i think that: this means turn right on a corner of severity 4, go straight for 50 meters, and then there is crest. corners with severity 1 are the open corners, and 5 the tights, but sometimes the scale is reversed.

[@TheThomascox]

this is RALLY !!!

[@DarrellGrundy]

The Master! Some of those high-speed corners with spectators on them make me cringe with disbelief that they have that much control.

[@christos___5581]

He was the Nigel Mansell of wrc :)

[@dmkaliningrad]

best driver best wrc age

[@supersideways]

@Mmpp84 "ruts" - 8:30 - 8:32. Where cars have dug up the road, leaving 2 tyres tracks to follow. Bouncing in and out of the ruts can put the car out of balance, especially at high speed!

[@RallyCat909]

Mesmerizing.....

amazing

[@Tycini1]

I have bruises on my fingertips, goddamn Finland, goddamn Mannojlampi and goddamn "Advanced" hardness level.

[@heldrath]

The codriver reads off the upcoming corners, distance to them and the severity of them. Look up "Pacenotes" on Google for more information.

[@Wario7793]

WRC Rally has a number system for curves, 1-6. 6 means it's a slight curve, 3 is about a 90-degree turn, and 1 is almost a hairpin curve.

[@Dreadpack]

Great!!!

[@christianef8279]

Colin mcrae es el mejor piloto de todos los tiempos en rally , podrán decintir conmigo, pero jamás habrá un piloto que lleve al límite el auto.!!

[@aquadtp]

1 to 6 is the degree of the corner, 6 being the slightest of bends. plus or minus is throttle on or off. the gear is up to the driver dependant on rpm, grip levels and tyre condition etc.other calls such as distance and line are self explanatory.

[@numptybaws3]

@GoodEvenings Colin's system was about gears so a 6 crest is 6th gear over a jump or small incline

[@nameisunavailable82]

stunning

[@daveruda]

We need the raw uncompressed footage of these onboards. Its too good to be anything else

[@crazyhippie69]

Exactly! The driver is suppouse to stay in the center of the road and don't make the corner by the inside of the camber, this because there could be some obstacles like rocks or a tree that it's not clearly visible.

[@Chouldentfindanygood]

Some/most stages in Finland have an average speed of 120km/h and that is the maximum FiA allowed the cars to go, if faster they take away the stage and so on... I remember they hade an tarmac rally here in Sweden who a stage that the average speed were 137km/h, but that stage got erased fast :P

whats the average speed of the drivers?

[@declanburns9404]

Does that gearbox require a clutch ?

[@myracanicosa7626]

Guys try with headphones you cn hear the car in left and right is navygaytor

[@LucasGonzalezA]

I know that in Colin's notes the turns were classified from 1 to 6. But does anybody knows what does "maybe" "plus" and "minus" meant in those notes ?

[@graikas]

3+ is something between 3 and 4. 3 minus is something between 3 and 2. Maybe it means that it's not sure if for example the car will jump. The speeds during recce (pacenote writing) are not flat out, so sometimes they are not sure about a pacenote.

[@JohnDaubSuperfan369]

Plus means on the throttle, minus means off the throttle

[@Debesukaleejs]

What is line and possible line ?

[@jack86bis]

The Best

[@asconab]

Do any know which stage this is?
