Colin McRae driving a Jordan F1 car vs Martin Brundle in the Subaru Impreza WRC car

[@GreatCdn59]

I wish they would have mentioned that they are , in fact , both world champions! Colin the '95 World Rally Champ, and Martin the '88 World Sportscar Champ.

[@fintonmainz7845]

Taking part in more races than almost everyone else does help

[@bird6691]

[@titanent.6897]

​@fintonmainz7845 what are you talking about? You don't win championships by participating.

[@TvLOverdose]

@@titanent.6897 but in participating in more races then your opponents does help, he's not wrong

[@GiBMan70]

Brundle not in the same league as Colin McRae.

[@acroracing]

That 555 livery still gives me the feelings..

[@aviezek3072]

Gives me chills ..oh...wow... that wrc prodrive 555 subaru impreza sti is just the best subaru ever..that rumbling sound from the pipes...and mcrae..👍👍👍

[@yellayam]

I never knew Brundle and Mcrae swapped cars. Fairplay to Bundle, he wasn't messing about on the rally stage. Awesome video.

[@jammy_rex3038]

Brundle was really going for it in the Impreza and looked very much at home! Great to see how they both took very well to the different disciplines. Colin was not happy being passenger that's for sure!

[@alfamonk]

highlight undoubtedly the 406 being pedalled round the track 👌

[@eyesodd]

With the B+H liverly and BNH reg plate, class!

[@TheFatSandwhich]

It's really insane how the best of the best of motorsport truly are a step above the rest. For each of these dudes to jump into a completely different discipline of racing where the concepts couldn't be further apart and have very successful outings, pushing the cars really highlights that.

[@gerrywhelan5761]

They are really not that different at all, same principles of feel for the car , finding the grip leval, seat of the pants understanding of the machine and a skill set suited to that sport, now if you were talking about a pool player driving the F1, or the rally car well, I would be very impressed.

[@edeledeledel5490]

Have you seen Lewis Hamilton on Top Gear driving the "reasonably priced car", timed against other formula 1 drivers?

[@doueven]

Check out Daniel Ricciardo driving an Australian V8 supercar with a driver called Rick Kelly. Rick commented that Danny was correcting the oversteer before he was even feeling it let go and applauded his reflexes 💪. They're all pretty close to the limit in different classes of race cars and even closer to each other in equal machinery

[@bamy546]

It helps that Martin Brundle started his racing banger racing and racing touring cars.

[@TheFatSandwhich]

@@gerrywhelan5761 Except we're only talking about racing cars here. The fact you say they're not that different is wild. And wildly incorrect.

[@androod6211]

Brundle was always a better driver than his F1 results show. A little more confidence and support and he'd have pushed for a WDC. He was certainly on it in the Scooby.

[@TheFatSandwhich]

His foot injury really hindered his career and I believe stopped him from having the ability to left foot brake. This is the same man that challenged Senna right through F3.

[@karlprice8122]

He wasn't a darts player cocker he was a racing driver.....

[@svensson19]

Martin's Norfolk accent much stronger back in the day. 'Jus keep flick'n the lever.' Bootiful!

[@joeyheijnen399]

Nice video! Love the ''zero sidepod'' concept of the Jordan. And a nice golden B&H livery too

[@russellmalone3532]

Brundle was unlucky to be up against people like Senna and Schumacher. Lots of great drivers are sometimes just up against it they are either in a team that’s struggling or someone special just keeps winning in a machine that shouldn’t really win. Martin is great in sky’s F1 channel and he gets my respect. RIP Colin you were a legend and one hell of a driver ❤

[@VirmanaMarketing]

Martin’s accident early on in his career absolutely impacted his time on F1. He was very close to Senna in F3 and had a chance to beat him.

[@LuminalSpoon]

4:30 Haha Colin was a bit worried there 🤣

[@boscovilante4068]

Can't beat that 1990s F1 engine scream. Nothing compares.

[@alphaprawns]

Great video, honestly I got the impression the commentator really didn't like McRae though or rally drivers in general haha

[@HighlandCall]

He worked doing rally commentary for decades - just I'd take it as being his quite dry style rather than a dislike

[@mercedesvan-doors34]

Two great world champions couldn't help but show what they could do.

[@kg0173]

Brundle drove in 1996 RAC rally with Ford Escort. Did he finish 8th? Rally was not part of WRC, absent were the leading drivers. Armin Schwarz won. Also Kankkunen and Vatanen competed.

[@MIEJ4]

Brundle put it off

[@ppeter1982]

Correct me if I am wrong but that looks like a 1995 Jordan in a 1996 colour scheme.

[@patrickparisienne1917]

Correct, no big deal if either of them binned it.

[@bragee]

You're absolutely right buddy

[@warrenjames007]

Love the 95 Jordan 😊

[@MrBsUkuleleChannel]

Yes the 1996 had a raised nose, it took me a minute to realise.

[@C_and_C...]

The lack of raised sides around the driver is a giveaway.

[@hexgraphica]

"Eddie how are your cars so fast this weekend?" 😂

[@gold333]

"So much for racing lines" 😆😆😆lol!

[@user-jg6vi4cd7v]

Martin is such a talented driver! Colin and him what a great rally team !

[@eamonahern7495]

I remember reading about that in Autosport magazine back in 1996.

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

Rally drivers are a different breed

[@joecarrolljnr]

2 phenomenal drivers to be fair.

[@charlespring5296]

Love that Martin just sent the Impreza

[@CT37BN]

Subaru seems to have normal grooved everyday tyres at Silverstone track and not the usual slicks they use for tarmac racing. A legend and WRC hero, great to see the late Mr. Colin McRae.

[@DaniMacYo]

This was great to watch.

[@dB_944]

The sound of that V10!!!

[@gmain1977]

Great video, both drove it like they driven the cars before showing the level of skill racers have

@dukevideo Thank you Mate! Also I love F1,touring car racing,sports car racing more alot they are my favourite Motorsports categories.

[@turboslag]

That didn't look like a works WRC Suburu? Not with an H pattern manual box?!

[@wrc5557]

Its a Gp A impreza so pre-WRC regs, but they ran the H pattern box even in the early WRC imprezas before they perfected the paddle shift

[@cossie60]

Definitely a works Prodrive Impreza. Sequential gearboxes weren't common until later in the 90s. Only Mitsubishi had a sequential box in the 96 WRC.

[@Warzoneman4655]

Colin was a good friend of Valetnino Rossi!! Two Legends!!!

[@bartman01021988]

Brundle was a very underrated driver.

[@tychothefriendlymonolith]

Then Martin sounds like now Alex

[@pgr3290]

Problem always is with F1 drivers when they get in anything else they're like yeah, meh, it's alright. You see them and ask them, I have. They drive an extreme production road hypercar today and they're like yeah, it's alright. Just isn't near an F1 car though. WRC car has less than half the power and twice the weight of an F1 car of that era. F1 is another world in terms of raw acceleration and lateral G. It's a terrifying day for the rally driver sticking corners at 150mph with extreme G force in every direction and just another slow fun drive for an F1 pro in a WRC. You can see it with some other swaps, like the stock car swap for F1, the F1 driver is underwhelmed and the stock car driver's brain melted from the F1.

[@chimchim2_]

Sucks that things like this don't happen very often nowadays. A true driver/discipline swap were they both push hard.

[@gustavosantanna5111]

Colin the best draiver rally

[@noroardanto]

Wow Brundle really push that Subaru hard

[@Jesus_H._Tap-DancingChrist]

[@lycossurfer8851]

So if this Birthday Wish thing still happens in F1, I'll trade my bicycle for Lewis Hamilton's current ride for some laps.

Why equate World Champion of rally and a mediocre F1 driver?

[@vladvasiloni1577]

why? I'm pretty sure all of the current drivers would do just as fine as Brundle did

​@@rideroundandstuffi have my doubts ,i'm not so sure if even half of the drivers could drive a manual to it's max potential.

[@derbigpr500]

And you're really so ignorant you think they don't know today? Are you one of those people who are so intellectually deficient that you believe driving a car with a manual gearbox is hard for anyone, especially a highly talented F1 driver?

[@derbigpr500]

@@vladvasiloni1577 You obviously are exactly what I assumed in my previous comment. If you think driving a manual is difficult in any way and think it's a show of driving skill, then you're totally clueless about driving yourself.

[@stephen300o6]

Both famed for crashing a lot.

[@FightingTorque411]

Brundle was one of the safest pairs of hands over his career, and when he did crash it was usually a mechanical failure or another driver.
