Oliver Solberg FULL Stage Onboard RAC Rally 2023 | Sweet Lamb Hafren Day & Night

[@SimReal4900]

probably one of the best Rally videos I 've ever watched. Amazing

[@sharpelecuochelari]

My thoughts exactly! Amazing!

[@AICreationGoddessesChann-kp6qd]

まさに最高のドライビング👍️

[@McKeeC91]

Incredible skill demonstrated here. Impressive to watch. Do wish we had the co-driver audio but still a fantastic watch!

[@棚からぼた餅-u4g]

ドライバーテクニックが凄い🍀

[@briandhoward6137]

I love the audio also.

[@patrikbjornfot]

Its pappa Solberg who is co-driver 👍

[@sirdigbyminge1639]

Magic! Great to see a manual gearbox and RWD. I don't care if newer things are quicker, this is the epitome of rallying. I remember dicking about on my mountainbike around Hafren in the eighties, on the fire road near the source of the Severn, and I came across a 7 series BMW. The driver asked me the way to Aberystwyth. There were two grannies in the back. I wonder if they ever got out.

[@yanan3681]

A dogleg manual gearbox in an escort being driven to within an inch of its life! Superb.

[@chrisadkin726]

Best 17 mins of TV i have seen since 1985!

[@jasonmcmillan4373]

I love that the stage opens up with a section I recognise from Sweet Lamb that was accurately modeled in DIRT Rally 2.0. I also love the fact that the fastest car of the RAC was running a H-pattern manual. Bloody awesome.

[@vglsgrmks]

This kid deserves a place on the big category!!!! BRING HIM BACK !!!!!

[@mirkopaludetti5254]

Ci ha già provato😢

[@samusassi14]

Lindholm or Pajari deserves a place on the top category not Solberg😂

[@albertoerbusti895]

nah if they tried already and then he went back there is a reason. They need to explain him that to win a rally you need to finish the event first.

[@wtcnl]

@@albertoerbusti895 In 2019, during his third year competing, he finished eight rally's as 1st and three as 2nd, in the year in which he reached the age of 18 years, which is very young for such a palmares - what did you say?

[@albertoerbusti895]

@@wtcnl yeah dude, in r5. As i said, he is not ready for the top series and right now there are better drivers who are more suitable than him for wrc. The only thing that might give him a chance more than the others are the money he brings, but thats another story.

[@Coopdegras]

That camera angle with the wheel, brakes and everything all visable at once is great!

[@anthonypaterson7066]

Awesome, best Rally footage ever. Oliver deserves a Rally1 drive. Thanks DF.

[@MCSmartboy]

I was stage side for both 'parts' and that was amazing to watch. The in-car though is another level of unbelievable!!! Brilliant driving. Brilliant footage. Clever video!

[@melvyncox3361]

Bloody quick!An exhilarating 17 minutes.What a driver!On par with the flying Finns of old. Top job👍❤️!

[@iamalbert06]

Amazing driving! By far my favorite driver!

[@larszenthio1012]

Driving dad's Ford Escort for the first time and in a demanding competition, Oliver shows talent and flair for different types of rally cars. 😎👍

[@DaleyRetro]

This is right up there with the onboard greats, just behind Craig Breen in his 6R4 up Molls Gap.. ❤

[@davidkelsey2864]

My first ever experience with rallying was a short stint in the navigators seat in a very fast Mitsubishi Lancer at night through the forests of NSW here in Australia and I was about Olivers age. I highly respect these guys flying along these roads at night as they have to have extremely sharp reflexes driving in the beam of those headlights at those speeds.

[@Judgey19XX]

They really need to bring the RAC back to the WRC, imagine the Rally 1 cars on this terrain! 😮

[@sirdigbyminge1639]

And back in the day they raced these stages at night without pacenotes. 🏆

[@TheRenaissanceGuys]

RAC in Midlands would be awesome.

[@cadillacoftheskies4077]

WRC cars have run through Sweetlamb, Hafren and many, many welsh forests for absolutely years. It just needs bringing back now.

[@sethinato1464]

@@sirdigbyminge1639 thats insane lmao

[@josephdoyle9865]

I've driven the same piece of road for over 30 years in every possible condition. I wouldn't attack that road at night this hard. 10000% commitment!!!! When both your parents are brilliant rally drivers........ 🐺🐺🐺🐺

[@varna1500]

I am so glad you mentioned his mother. She was very fast. And not to forget both his grandfathers and his uncle.

[@iyadkamhiyeh527]

One of the coolest onboards I've ever seen!

[@rabmccudden683]

Awesome how the 1’st section was in dirt rally. I love thrashing it in Wales in my mk2. Well done Mr Solberg

[@PaulOff-RoadDownunder]

Thanks for bringing this to us. Fascinating to watch his footwork . 👌

[@lameduck6786]

Great driver! It's great that you can see his excellent footwork on the pedals in the video!

[@yeagemk]

I would say that 1:35 was a serious code brown moment, but honestly, the entire stage was a serious code brown moment. The car control, bravery, and commitment at every corner was awesome to see. You gotta respect the hell out of the co drivers - I actually think they have the harder job out of the two!

[@AmbientMike]

Woww what a rollercoaster stage. Fantastic event, fantastic video and coverage and fantastic driver.

[@AndrewPeddie]

Its nice to watch one of these rally onboard videos without an FOV so wide I can see the back of my eyeballs

[@lordglencoe2194]

Holy Toledo. That guy has balls of titanium. To keep it going flat out when the consequences of going off are huge takes massive skill. Watching his feet on the pedals was a revelation as well. Such car control -luckily we can't feel the G forces as well!

[@UCA-kt5bp2ke6x]

Unbelievable Oliver and god footwork 😂👍👍

[@joncoughlin_dev]

my God, incredible video. My son and I just watched this and kept groaning on the hard turns like we were going to fall off the track. So visceral. Love it!!!

[@cadillacoftheskies4077]

This is art.

[@pieterdouchy3819]

that jump at 1:37 would make me need a fresh pair of pants WOW

[@akif7699]

Very peaceful. Please keep uploading.

[@RC75]

Great onboard quality!!!

[@stu2427]

What a talent

[@Harley-ir4er]

Thanks Oliver, I love to see these young guys driving these old schools cars. Reminds me of Ari at his peak. I hope your watching Ari, this is great entertainment.

[@freeridermtb4]

Such a great vid, always keeping the hands tidy through all of the turns. He is just so so good!

[@TinoCate]

thanks for sharing your journey, it’s incredibly inspiring! ️

[@chriswilliams3801]

F*****g hell, WOW show me any Motorsport thats as exciting and skillful as this. Been a rally fan since watching the original RAC rally in the forestry of my village of Resolven in South Wales since 1981, brings back soo many memories of Michelle Mouton ( massive crush) Hannu Mikola and the like threading their beasts through the Welsh forests.

[@briandhoward6137]

They can't, this is top level skill, road drives only dream of

[@DirtFish]

Tell us your favorite part of the video 👀

[@blackness010]

0:00 - 17:04

[@Nikitaracing15]

Very nice video, I like that old times, than Escort MK2 were in WRC

[@peterc5168]

All of it

[@DirtFish]

🤣 Yeah... we asked for that...

[@calumm.macleod4261]

The fancy footwork swapping right foot to left foot braking and clutch so fast and intuitively

[@Bigdave_t4]

Wow, so smooth and fluent!

[@ozziejoes]

Amazing! Very, very talented driver!👍👍👍😎

[@lloydjones7590]

Amazing in every way

[@paulcooper903]

Bloody hell that was awesome.

[@simonbrown2131]

This should be the final round of the WRC, the Roger Albert Clark Historic Rally. All the teams and drivers switching to historic cars (forget brand commitments, most would use Escorts) for this one event. It would be amazing to see.

[@Jensen96]

Great drive. I really like that right over crest at 1:36.

[@mark19850304]

amazing drive❤🎉

[@basementstudio7574]

Amazing. He's flogging the hell out of the thing!!!

[@BelowAmbient]

love it!!

[@peterc5168]

Wow wow wow, one of the best vids, well done DF

[@BeamNGDriveEnthusiast-auto76]

Totally awesome! These guys are pros! LIKE!

[@icebox9093]

Oliver is a class WRC driver & deserves a Rally1 seat.....only thing that might be in his way this year could be a sponsorship clash!

[@donswier]

Imagine if top level WRC was RWD only.😊

[@wiegraf9009]

Fantastic stuff!

[@chasepalumbo2929]

This is awesome.

[@TheRebelOne.]

@1:26 through the gates, flat up to fast right. Full opposite lock on the apex, car goes light, throttle bent to the floor.......you try it at that speed!

[@DirtFish]

It's an impressive section! You can watch him drive that section over and over in our testing video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qV6lYmhuYrKZeJo

[@amr1t_]

i'll certainly pass on trying it myself 😂

[@Kingsley-wr4uh]

Outstanding. Probably one of the best in cars I've seen.

[@petertrimnell3017]

He's fantastic

[@AnilPrabha]

Mind blowing

[@shadowsandfire]

This kid is a savage!!!! What a machine!

[@randomassockss]

huge thankyou to everyone responsible for this upload. Great video! 17 minutes later and I'm sweating bullets.

[@TheMarkpops]

amazing sound from this beast

[@vr4ever645]

Amazing video and audio! That switch to night mode though? Excellent!❤

[@guivans]

WRC should go RWD mandatory for 2024 onwards!

[@lima_plays2492]

Why? 4wd is way better

[@danwedderburn5550]

Come on Malcolm, give this super talented young man a rally 1 car for next year, & back him properly

[@MrCaprinut]

Loved every second of this! Proper driving!

[@bigtoepapa]

Love those roads!!❤❤

[@ermisp41]

Respect!!!

[@andreharewood2384]

Oliver is so good I know he is going to be world rally champion one day

[@ndrewx]

Yeeeahh, what a drive! The guy is handling this monster very well. The tachometer occasionally drops into the 9000's, the engine roars, the rear end slaps, shakes, vibrates BUT all under control, just like the good old days. Very talented.

[@gabes.6580]

This is insane!

[@adamlaflamme1676]

At 1:00 heading into those next 2 turns shows incredible skill and planning.

[@olkjolkj]

Best in car video i ever seen

[@edugj23]

Revving up to 9000 with ease, great tuning, great driving, great skills all around.

[@GrahamHughes-uu1gi]

Masterclass 👏👏👌

[@Jyde_Hekyll]

Perfect angle to capture everything. Gutted for him that he never made it to the end. He drives that car very well 👌

[@budsprinting]

Let's go!!

[@Bellissimovolere]

An incarnation of Ari Vatenen.. Great to watch.. no sequential gearbox and fancy handbrakes with 4wd and power steering and electronic this and that..pure driving skill

[@AR3n3gad3]

Beautiful!!!

[@allensignaturetreeservices]

There are no better drivers than rally drivers. The course is unpredictable and there is no such thing as rain delays or debris delays. These guys are real drivers.

[@jpest7]

03:07 ABSOLUTE LEGEND

[@Stirls23]

Fantastic!

[@paulwilliams8588]

Wow!

[@LawlessAuto]

Nuts that all these years later that nothing can beat a good hand and a mk2 escort.

[@djben06]

Incredible skills!

[@tantona9315]

Exceptional stuff!

[@tatukononen6653]

Well done Oliver🔥

[@1979phill]

fooking hell, i dont think Frank Kelly or Roger Clark would have kept up with that pace!

[@RallyeRacin9]

That's the video I'm waited for!

[@eska3629]

I remember this stage on Dirt Rally 2.0 but he went the other way on the second hairpin. Great driving from Solberg.

[@madmax]

1:34, that flick was superb.

[@peterhall6656]

This was a classy drive. For those who actually drive there are lots of things he catches showing great car control. The brow starting at around 1:31 is an example. Even with pace notes you can bugger that up at full noise.

[@AidanMillward]

Man, the amount of times I’ve done this state on Richard Burns Rally. 🤣 (Bit longer than the RBR one tho)

[@TheBigWhoop]

Watch he’s Pedal work & appreciate the artistry, wow👌🏽👏🏽

[@bonelessbeef]

No awful music added. Thank you

[@thatrallycarguy]

Man!!! You can drive my dude!!!! Next time on this rally!!!! #RAC #wolfpack 🤘🤘💪💪👍👍

[@ChrisDobson-l3e]

Perfect spot on driving!

[@Jicco_03]

Clean,dedicated, skill. Smooth is fast

[@CarlosMiguelReanoVilchez-jv2sr]

Todo el tiempo adelantado al sentido de la curva y deslizándose...un bárbaro...excelente coordinación...!!!

[@JKA19881]

Absolutely mesmerising 😀👍

[@gogopedia]

Amazing skill n view

[@Grid56]

All the best rally drivers have hoofed it in an escort. The carb induction roar brings back memories of watching Ari .

[@01FozzyS]

Well done in your dad's Mk II, Oliver!

[@no-speedlimit]

Impressionante.
