One little thing I see people mistaking when watching rallying for the first time is that when you see people turning the opposite way right before a corner, then snapping it back to make it, they're not making a mistake. It's called a Scandinavian Flick or Pendulum Turn, basically just getting a lot of weight transfer going to turn the car in, while also slowing it down.

Need to get this out of my system... They are NOT drifting. It's called powersliding. Drifting is a sport and an art, where placement of the car in the slides is key. Powersliding is only about getting as fast through a corner as possible. In rally powersliding is used because you are driving against the clock. Fastest time wins, with less repair work wins. Btw it looks slow on cam, but its rare that these guys goes under 60 mph through corners. Straights are at 140+ mph. Driving surface doesn't matter, you need to be fast on all surfaces. Love you vids btw!

Side note. They usually do NOT know the track like the back of their hand. You get to drive over it twice in a normal road car in the days leading up to the event to create the pace notes and that's it. In most rallies the same stage is driven twice, so you drive it like 4 times in that one weekend and then it's on to next year. Now I have done it and you do tend to remember the nastiest corners on stages, but definitely not everything.

Sooo many things... there is 'no course' - that are public roads. The Lancia is naturally aspirated while the audis have turbos. they keep the revs up so the turbo doesnt loses its punch. You can hear how they give gas when the clutch isn't engaged. and for the last clip - water was the least soft spot on all the surfases they could have hit. oh and they face something more serious than a 'soft landing' in that splash, but you did figure that out some clips before hand. And lastly - your faces where pretty darn good.

The clips are made mostly for the sound. Some of the cars are during WRC racing old and new, but some are from exhibition rally's, or amateur. Usually the high quality footage from recent years with old cars. Some of them are rare and extremely collectible and expensive. Rally Lancias or Quattros go for 100.000$ or more for example. Lancia Stratos for 500.000$. That's why some of them seem to not push the car, and the ones in competitive seem to try to destroy the cars

In rally you do not anticipate. Days before the race you and your co-driver go through these stages and write every condition, bend, surface etc beforehand. In the videos when you hear co-driver talking, he is actually directing driver one bend or section in advance. So he could basically be driving in fog and still know where he is going.

Drivers are usually split by a minute so it is common for spectators to jump in and help the drivers to continue, unblock the track or perform first aid. People approaching are trained professionals, thats why u can sit 2meter from the road. Ah yes and there is no bad weather skip for stages, u race in rain, thunderstorm, heat, storm, ice, fog... just a usual day for a driver trusting his co-pilot who has notes from 1 tracksighting.

A funny thing to think about, those snow stages are some of the fastest races in the whole sport. because of the snow they are allowed to use studded tires which with the size of those studs they get more grip then tires normally can. The second thing is the weather, the cold condenses the air making them able to run harder. To learn about it i have seen video's where NHRA top fuels do races in the winter too with custom tires covered in inches long nails for grip and they rocket.

As a comparison the 0 to 60 for a Dodge Hellcat is 3.9 seconds and a Lambourgini Aventador does it in 2.9 seconds and they have to be on Tarmac to do it!

Looks like a few of those clips are Group B cars, which was a class introduced to allow manufacturers to push the limits a little further, but ultimately got banned for becoming too dangerous, it's still known as the golden age of Rally, I was a teen at the time and me and all my friends had a poster of the Audi Quattro on our bedroom wall. There's a lot of Rally stages around where I live in Northern Snowdonia, Wales, one road course around a piece of headland called the Great Orme has a wall all the way around it for about 4 miles, every time the rally comes a few sections of wall get taken out, on the other side of the wall in some places are cliffs and a sheer drop into the sea below, it takes some bottle to drive flat out like these guys do around there.

Not a difference between "giving it max" and "effortless", it's the difference between front engine 4WD and mid-engine RWD drifting. The Audi understeers heavily, and needs throttle to come around, the "car before" (Lancia 037, purpose built rally car - last ever RWD rally car) has centre of mass literally in the centre of the car, so it rotates quick. It's also slower, with only the first model being able to somewhat keep up with Quattros - subsequent variants (Evo etc) couldn't hold a candle to Peugeot and Audi. Lancia then shelved the 037 and came out with the Delta S4. If you want exciting videos, watch Group B rally videos, especially spectator focussed ones. In this day and age, it's outrageous what was allowed back then (spectators literally on the road, splitting a path for the car coming at them on full pelt).
@beardedgeek9732 жыл бұрын
The Audi Quattro was notoriously understeery, so in order to drift a corner it always had to be pushed over limit, on purpose. The Lancia (the "effortless" car) was the last great 2WD rally car, but it also meant it was much easier in corners with good grip than the early 4WD cars (like the Audi).

4:40 that was done intentionally, he did anticipated the turn way beforehand. That turn you see over there is called a pendulum turn, very common practice in experienced rally drivers. This is done more so commonly when you are approaching a very hard turn right/left and you approach with way more speed, you have to then take a pendulum turn just like you would on a bycycle, this done because otherwise it may result in heavy understeer if they would have slowed right at the foot of that turn otherwise

Driving on loose twisty twisty gravel road at 60mph with dips and bumbs that allow you to catch air is rather normal thing here in Finland. Of course not everyone jumps their car or anything but most drive fast and don't fear the roads or speed. Same with winter and ice. Driving into a turn at almost the same speed as you did on gravel while the car tries to slide around is completely normal (and winter tires are mandatory here so hence the speeds).
