Irish Rally fans fix Kalle Rovanperä’s Toyota in Killarney Historic Rally.

[@Redhillmotorsport]

That man has a story for life, his friends will be sick listening to him 😂

[@sufferbl]

Totally entitled to do it after this move.

[@tantona9315]

Legend!

[@hughcdavies]

That is why Rallying is the greatest sport on the planet. What a superb video.

[@AVM-Music]

Absolutely

[@michaeledwards427]

Precisely. F1 can go extinct as far as I'm concerned.

[@FrankDeMamp]

​@@michaeledwards427 lol f1 mog u

[@brianmcmenamin7269]

Superb coverage of a massive moment in this rally. Very well done to Vantage Point Video for capturing this.

[@VantagePointVideo]

I only got to one rally this year after a great season covering Hillclimbs, Formula BOSS and Karting. I couldn’t believe it when this played out at my feet. (Just remembered I went to the Healy Pass in May, but this is how it felt)

[@RallyRobert976]

Well done lads for getting Kaille back on the road🧐

[@RichHobo]

Is that a question?

[@Ex0rz]

I can imagine their faces when they go there to help just to realize its Kalle Rovanperä out of all the drivers haha. Could literally just be some random driver whose car broke down there, but happens to be the world champ Kalle Rovanperä.

[@topsu_u]

they surely knew if was him just from the car number

[@seanfaloon1267]

This could be the best 'vantage point' of the rally. The guy in the yellow jacket should receive an award from Motorsport Ireland for saving the day not just for Kalle and Jonne, but for all the fans and organisers and Black Motorsport. The guy in the red hat seizing the opportunity to get a unique selfie made me laugh.

[@Unwoken_European]

The yellow jacket is probably a security guy.

[@sjtheroadshenanigansofabri6631]

Thats TRUE rally spirit there 😊😊😊 well done guy's Everyone pitches in to keep crews going

[@bla855]

Well done lads 💪🏼🇮🇪🙌

[@ACorpseWithoutSoul]

This is real rally community. Here in Finland our fans is fastest ever if somebody drive out and need help go to back to road. Perfect job guys. 👍👏

[@KC-RallyPlanes]

Excellent video. Disappointing it happened, would love to see where he would have ended up. But great he was able to keep going . Irish rallying at its best.

[@blechtic]

He was +4:47.8 behind after the first stage in the Modified category. +4:57.8 after the second stage. Then +4:54.5, +4:53.0, +5:02.2, +5:00.6, +5:14.2, +5:17.3, which was also their final time at #15. They might have pushed a bit more had they not been 5 minutes behind. For reference, Modified category #2 was +18.6 at the finish and #3 +1:29.6. So, had nothing happened, presumably #3 finish based on their driven times alone without assuming extra pace. Not that you can really assume it'd be at all the same anyway. (Source: results.shannonsportsit.ie/results.php )

[@user-ws6nu4mq8k]

When he’s out of the car he implies they were being careful by driving ”very slowly” and the co-driver agrees by basically saying ”fucking slowly”. Sounds like they were very far away from pushing.

[@jamesward5721]

This is why British Contractors love employing Irish lads - when the JCB breaks, they fix it. This spirit built the world.

[@mystifiedbytheworld]

Now thats a story to tell the grandchildren!

[@jimmyolsenschannel6263]

Kiitos!

[@markos8400]

Who needs service park? Great job fans and you for the video! :)

[@mikavirtanen1178]

Great job, well done. Nice to have Kalle and Jonne back on racing again. :)

[@bonjovi1612]

The Ford Escort. The iconic rally car. In 100 years they’ll still be out there. Still gets me after all this time.

[@karikookoo]

Good work lads .

[@esaedvik]

Thanks, lads!

Good man Johnny!! 🦾

[@RollForever88]

Jesus, the engine noise! What a Motorsport!

[@sunshine14251]

Cheers for coming over to Ireland 🇮🇪 🙌 👌

[@dolmio_sauce]

So what was wrong with the car and what did he do?

[@TaikaJamppa]

That would be interesting to know for sure.

[@SLOC1992]

i wanna know too

[@ChristopherWoods]

Dodgy fuel pump relay as mentioned in a few other comment threads. Bit of percussive maintenance and a technical wiggling got it going again apparently.

[@ACorpseWithoutSoul]

I bet Kalle and Jonne remenber those guys someway in future.

[@grasub1]

Where in the world would you get service like that only in The Kingdom - the home of rallying. Well done.

[@dave6678]

It's a pain in the arsh when something small like that happens.

[@cdnmetelhead4013]

What an impressive collection of Mk II Escorts. Cosworth or Milly engines?

[@zoom5024]

4:47 You are in Hi-vis country now pal.

[@paddyboyle-n1l]

Good on the fans that saved the day good on yous

[@cornishcactus]

Max on the blower reporting every one of those other cars for not slowing under yellow

[@KarinaDubuisson]

Fair play Johnny O'Mahony

[@appymarley]

Now I know where all the mk2 escorts went!..how good is this could only happen in rallying could only happen in Ireland

[@anaconda6147]

Goood old rally cars! ❤

[@andrewparle4]

Can't beat the Irish,😊

[@nasrulsaifuddin4768]

1:10 That's a perfectly convenient spot for a pit stop.

[@derekross4353]

Nice one

[@ciaranosullivan7791]

So what was actually wrong with it does anyone know?

[@Altostratus1992]

Dead relay, been replaced at service and seems to be running fine now.

[@fragmentalstew]

​@@Altostratus1992 If true then the spectators didn't really fix it, and may have just gotten lucky that it started. However, if the problem was a loose or corroded connection on the relay, checking the connection could have gotten it working again, and replacing it still would have been a more permanent fix. I'm only speculating.

[@brian100pd]

Correct. Spectators didn't fix it, it just started working again. Kalle even said in service the mechanics looked over the car and couldn't find what the problem was, only later they said it was a dodgy relay.

[@Altostratus1992]

@@brian100pd good old fashioned turn it off and on again saves the day.

[@blackbirdsr71]

Surprised that car isn't on PDM electrical system.

[@alunrees6403]

Awesome Job .....

Fans are always welcomed. Great one. Parked the car, fixed it and GO. Btw, how long is between 2 cars ? 30sec?

[@itsprochy]

I also noticed that! Is there 200 cars in the competition? The stage was busy af!

[@Jop3lius]

This is very oldschool rally moment, spectators with a knowhow to be helpful

[@TheVanFam-FamilyCaravann-ij2yr]

Anybody know what the issue was and how he fixed it?

[@itsprochy]

Dodgy fuel pump relay is what a comment from 4d ago said. Wiggle it and car starts again.

[@eamonnmckeown6770]

driving through a water hazard will do that to any old car.

[@bertmuller5363]

What ist this for a car?

[@VantagePointVideo]

It’s a modified 1984 Rear Wheel Drive Toyota Starlet.

[@Fester_]

He just recharged his 22Kw battery bank with his E-Cig.

[@tonybarron6452]

Good number,go Ronnie Mac!

[@Atomguy112]

huh, never realized cars come this quickly in succesion. other videos always cut away after they pass.

[@wilfriedzonderman3168]

In Belgium you would taken out of the race for unallowed help.

[@MIEJ4]

This isn’t Belgium luckily

[@fragmentalstew]

Why are the cars all 15 seconds apart?

[@ps3Evo]

Irish rally’s run 30 sec intervals.

[@gk3coloursred]

Staggered starts for racing against the clock, not a F1-like grid setup.

[@fragmentalstew]

@@gk3coloursred of course, staggered starts. But I'm used to at minimum 1 minute. More often I see 2, or 3, or maybe even 4 or 5.

[@beamboy]

​@@fragmentalstewmost Irish rallies (not sure about this historics even) normal to have a field of 150 cars, you'd be a long time going through them with 1 minute or more long intervals

[@bat33.12]

probably down to the 164 car entry

[@sagecouncil]

brilliant

[@MrNipsi]

I would live to know what was wrong on kalles car and how they mended it.

[@jameshill8969]

Lucky it wasn't in cavan, they would have charged him

[@ajcinstalls]

What went wrong with it??

[@eamonnmckeown6770]

water in the ignition most likely due to clipping the large puddle.

[@gerhardhudelist3223]

👏👏👏👏🤩

[@pauranen]

Someone loan Mk1 Escort RS1600 for Kalle

[@hansbig7550]

No one fixed the car, after a few minutes it just started again.

[@SamK-g3v]

Hopefully Kalle hired this guy in his team.

[@eamonnmckeown6770]

That was a big puddle.

[@kaikart123]

So what's actually the problem?

[@Iansoldcarchannel]

Plug lead off maybe?

[@blueheadflame]

Fake because they didn't fix it. Didn't do anything to it actually. It just started working again for an unknown reason.

[@sjefhendrickx2257]

This is Ireland, not the UK.

[@dmnos6824]

3:10 There is another video series for this, people getting killed taking selfies/last pictures taken before death. The steward with the yellow flag must have been less than impressed. He is trying his best to keep everyone safe and they are taking selfies! He probably won't do this job again inmho.

[@MIEJ4]

Nonsense

[@test-tl8dt]

everyone standing there by the roadside on the outside is at a bigger risk than this guy taking a photo if you wanna be bitchy about it
