Race Driver Reacts to MASSIVE Rally Moments

These rally moments are absolutely HUGE. Time for something a little unusual, but a lot of fun - when I was a kid I used to love watching rally compilations of videotape. Here are some of the best rally moments I could find online with a little reaction and driver's explanation too.

I want to go rallying!

[@squidcaps4308]

The "Samir, please" thing is a bit more complicated. Lets put it this way, they are both good at what they do, well, for local rally but it was very, very difficult day. The driver has been doxxed and harrassed because of that video... So it is a bit sad case of things taken a bit out of context. I think he stopped racing after the memes came out. Don't take my words as a fact, i could be remembering somethings wrong but i haven't felt great watching those clips anymore. They kind of ruined someones passion.

@@dosescopetastengo6581 I've got to say you're in the wrong here. They know you can't pass for a position on the course because it's all based on chrono, what they're saying is that if one driver is much quicker on a stage than another and so "passes" them physically on a stage i.e. drives past them, it must be funny because you aren't supposed to be able to do that normally

[@mangoellini]

Fun fact: Samir is actually a highly distinguished and previous top rally driver since his debut in 1992 in India. He had an injury of some sorts and had a lengthy stint of no racing, to which he came back and obviously was a little rusty (but actually ended up finishing 3rd in points in the Indian National Rally Championship that year). As it turns out, this was not the original audio, and an executive from another team had this made as a sort of "mud sling". Yohan Chetna, the business man, ended up getting arrested for the video and had a pending investigation. The co-driver, who had 20+ years of professional experience, actually ended up losing a contract for a major international event in Australia as a result of the spoof video.

In rally, and only in rally: - you can fly across a dirt finish line at 100+ mph missing a wheel - jump 10ft in the air, land it, and keep driving like nothing happened, multiple times during the race - roll many times at high speed, land on your wheels, and keep going like it didn't happen Basically, the goal of rally is to get from A to B as fast as physically possible under any circumstances. Practice rally, and you'll have the driving skills of god himself.

Happens to me to many years ago practicedriving with my father, I was late out and took that 90° turn to fast and had to drive on two wheels for 30-40 meters after that, my father wasn't that happy afterwards, neither the time we drove on a small gravel road and I was comming in to fast so the car started to wobble and I drove 20 meter offroad on the right side before I crossed the road again and drove 15 meters offroad on the left side an 10 meters more on the right side untill I finally got in on the road again, after that he still let me på drive with him but I wasn't allowed to drive as fast as before when I practice, but he knew that I had bought my own car 4 years before I was allowed to practice drive for the driverlicense and drove arround on small lone gravelroads and on winter ice I never drove that car inside town before I got the license,, but I guess it wouldn't work in todays world without anybody of our neighbours in the village or some others will call the police, I had a friend that did the same so we came in two cars 14 years old when the age to start practicing was 18 then.

european roads are much narrower than north american roads because they were originally planned and built hundreds (sometimes thousands) of years ago before cars existed. most were walk paths and pretty much the widest thing they had to account for were horse drawn carts. that's still somewhat true for older north american cities like new york, but out here in a modern urban planned city like LA even the narrowest road is usually wide enough to comfortably fit two lanes of traffic plus parking.

I love the Finns :) And then there is that amazing moment when Colin was having a particularly Colinesque moment and Nicky Grist interjects "for f*** sake listen to me Colin" in the level tone you mention, and straight back to the pace notes. They had an off later in that rally and when Colin was asked what happened he spat out, sounding as Scottish as a person could "I don't know, why don't you ask the Welsh Wizard over there" with a nod of the head to Nicky:D

I have had one chance at rallying in my life. After training, I was let loose on a rally-circuit. I say circuit because rather than being on public roads a circuit of sorts is set up on a airfield or other large open area. The rules are the same as for the class of car you are in; it's still a rally but you may go round several times as a "stage." In my case every time I passed a particular set of hay-bales I clipped the wing mirror on my navigator's side as he read the pace-notes. Each time he dutifully reached out and folded the mirror back out. After three times he quietly but firmly said, "Would you stop using my mirror as a f*****g lap counter."

Love your work, but this one was special. Many years ago a midfield rallying friend told me about his weekend night race in the mountains. He had broken his tailshaft, rolled down to the next check point, and got a lift back up to the spot in the morning to collect the bits. His description: dirt road. Navigator says as I enter soft left: long straight, flat out. I look at the left at high revs in third, so was doing 90 kph plus. In daylight I couldn't believe I got round it above 60. But the straight. Nav said flat out, so I'd shifted up and floored it. We were doing 130 when the tailshaft went. The straight was barely 100 meters long with a hard right at the end! My friend was amazed by his own skills when driving fully dialed in. That his Nav would describe the corner as soft, knowing that he would be able to take it in third, then that the straight was "long"! Rally driving has fascinated me since I was a kid with the Southern Cross rally coming past our home several times.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the roles of the co-driver and engineers on staff. To be able to hold it together and continue reading pace notes clearly and accurately while trusting your life in someone else's hands is a truly incredible test of mettle. Not only that, but the engineers who have literally only a few minutes to get a car in competitive shape anywhere from crashes, bent suspension and busted dampers, to complete mechanical failure. The first guy you see in the video is Ari Vatanen, a Finnish driver who previously won the WRC title in '81 (and the only privateer driver to accomplish this!) and his co-driver (I think) Terry Harryman. At this point in time other drivers were beginning to use 4WD cars where this mad lad was still driving RWD like the Opel Manta 400 in the video. At one point in 76 when he was racing with Ford during the British Rally Championship the engineers actually replaced the rear diff of the Mk II RS1800 with a rear diff from a Capri AND MADE IT WORK.

I’m just laughing so hard at that last bit. Thanks for the joy. (And thanks to poor Samir).

[@weisy87]

8:10 Ari vatanen in opel manta the best!! :D

[@beardeddragster]

Thank God!!! One of the most famous saves in rallying history & this guy didn't even know it was Ari! He had done big shunts but he was & still is amazing behind the wheel.

[@gnashings]

@@beardeddragster yeah I was a little surprised he didn't know who that was. Almost a little bit off putting that someone involved in motorsport didn't acknowledge being in the presence of royalty

[@beardeddragster]

@@gnashings I have to agree with you. I mean even if you aren't the slightest involved with Rallying, the names like Toivonen, Vatanen, Gronholm, McRae & Clark are names which everyone knows. It's the same with F1 drivers. Makes me question who this guy is as to be honest his face doesn't ring a bell

[@gnashings]

@@beardeddragster I thought he was Damon Hill's kid... but I may be wrong, can't check atm

[@liamschannel6294]

@@beardeddragster probs considering its onboard and you can’t really identify an almost 40 year opel onboard cam with the mention of no names or even helmet names😂

[@zaidan5796]

Happy to see samir's clip in here...the funniest clip I've ever seen, gets me every time😂😂

[@devinw6332]

This is one of those moments where someone’s enthusiasm can be so charming 😂

[@mishell6482]

As a person, who sometimes works at rally, some videos are my nightmare. Like, why are there four of five cars parked at the rally track? But the worst are people, not gonna lie. Anyway, it was great so see you reacting to these! :)

[@MetroMellow]

I thought video at 4:29 is upside down, thought the snow was the clouds and I was so confused how the drivers have such a control upside down 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jrowland6717]

It threw me off for a second lol

[@daniellino7492]

That's was so much fun!!! I'd love to see you react to other categories too!!!

[@lsbevo9]

This video is... Samir, you're breaking the car! \ 10

[@BillyViBritannia]

Why backslash though?

[@lawsonracing7164]

I'm really glad you did this video. I would love to see a follow up with advice for racers switching between categories. Circuit to rallye or rallye to circuit. 👍👍👍

[@woutmelis8828]

I absolutely enjoyed this style of video!

[@dane4109]

"Samir you are breaking the car!" "Shudup yah"

[@andredelay8111]

PLEASE, moar rally reactions ;) !!! Also, i can´t believe you never tried rallying.. it´s the BEST!!!

[@hfric1]

Rally is mental it's as hardcore as Isle of man TT. Big balls to be able to drive flatout on loose dirt racing between trees, doing jumps and when there's Spector's and sh*t. Massive respect for rally drivers. Love it

[@tritile]

1:06 just hear this sound... the engine is furious

[@YlowX7]

sounds like a fricking lion

[@Qunia]

“Samir you’re breaking the car” I lowkey was waiting for that

[@JinZuS]

It's nice to have a professional's comments on many of these takes, very interesting.

[@tankstersteel9924]

Sammy's instructor sounds like my mom when my dad is driving slowly to a gas station

[@jacobfoster6773]

For those who don't know the backstory to the Samir clip, it was originally posted with malicious intent to try and get the co-driver sacked, you can read about it here: www.autoevolution.com/news/remember-samir-the-bad-rally-driver-turns-out-the-video-was-fake-and-he-s-decent-90865.html

[@DidierPeroni]

Wow did not know that

[@jackjon7763]

Yeah I’m on the co drivers side. That video showed a driver ignoring his co driver which for rally can get both killed

[@hashrulsubzero]

I knew him (Vivek Ponnusamy) from the days when he used co-drive for Karamjit Singh back in 2011. He and Karamjit were competing in Malaysian Rally Championship, I was a spectator back then.

[@midnoob1650]

The article doesn't have the best writing style sadly.

[@RockNeurotiko]

The video it's not fake, it'san extract of a 40 minutes video that Samir uploaded to his own webpage. I don't know if the "compilation" was with malicious intent or just for fun, but it's not a fake video

[@ju.h_man]

Now do the Isle of Man TT :D

[@danhodge2337]

Ive been to the Wales WRC a few times and years ago I was lucky enough to work for a company who were a WRC Peugeot 206 sponsor and got to go in the passenger seat on a test track in Sweden, best driving experience of my life, we went fast on the way up then he said ... "now I handbrake" and we just spun round and round on a plateau and then started the descent, I remember being sideways staring at a mountain then being the other way round staring into a valley, Id already said go as fast as you want I love driving but apparently he didn't lol, loved every second and just amazing to experience, such skill and reactions

[@hiroki_rinn]

There’s a clip out there of I think it was an i20 doing a dirt drift for quite the distance. So clean!

[@GabrielS-wq2qk]

1:49 when lando goes rally

[@CMDRSweeper]

So, when will we get to see the driving style study of Driver61? Could be an interesting contrast :D

[@charlesfollette9692]

These guys are on one hand the most top tier of race drivers and the most batshit crazy.

[@pabitrikalita3940]

Rally drivers are much more insane and raw talented than modern f1 drivers, rally drivers are legends, they deserve great respect

[@NameZDustiN27]

0:45 "6 or 7 meters in the air!" lol

[@crhuskey]

( 7:07 ) Driver who caught air and missed the parked car must have driven away sitting up a few cm higher. ...From all the s*** in his pants.

[@mathewthomas7622]

Hey

[@smeraldoderosa7556]

Absolutely awesome videos Scott.

[@arissocratous1768]

Thank you for making me learn what a tank slapper is

[@KayoMichiels]

You should have added Thierry Neuville's jump in Finland from 2019.

[@tbz1551]

3:21 "more brave"? I had another adjective in mind for the spectators.

[@Driver61]

Didn't want to get demonetised.

[@Szalami]

The last clip where Ari Vatanen (rally GOD) flies through the gate at breakneck speed with the slightest margin for error gets even better when you realize that he was driving with a front tyre puncture as well.

[@palmsky1119]

Of course that last clip is included. Perfection.
