[@joshthomas2536]

Trying to work out which part of going after a stationary car requires being crazy. It does happen quite often and could guarantee other motorsports would be the same if there weren't giant fences around the track.

The Finns are the best I've seen at this.. everyone Rallys, its like a weekend pass time and audience participation is way over the top :) Winter amateur rallies are something else

[@jamesjohnston3674]

It's their national sport

[@Pappa_66]

Yes thank you! And the Best part is that any one can take part In these "every men-rallies". The car is allowed To cost max. 600,- and after the race every car is for sale. So you can by the Best car for 600😁👍😍

[@Meinalptraum]

totally.

[@gabbermensch]

You're not wrong, Kimi is my favourite F1 driver of all time and even he sees F1 as a hobby but rally as a discipline.

[@andreneves33]

i think it takes 4years to take a drivers license in finland...they are all rally drivers xD

[@DUDA-__-]

I need a 40 yearold finn running after me shouting perkele when I take wrong turns in life.

[@niklas2378]

funniest comment i ever read🙂

[@VesterisTeemu]

People tell me about this dude you can see in many of these videos. He is known as the "Kaljahattumies" which means The Beer Hat Man. He is always the first to run to help cars gone off road. He has the strap they use to pull cars back on road. He is the fastest. He starts moving immediately he sees that the car is going to spin and many times he is already running while the car has not even stopped yet. He seems to be somewhat known among the rally spectators in Finland. One key thing is to find a spot where you will most likely see crashes and drama. If you see the Beer Hat Man in the woods then you know thing will happen there. I love this guy.

[@villi69]

Also known as “Liinamies” or “Liina perseeseen"

[@vickispong1371]

This "pit stop" team is amazing. Wow these guys are fantastic, ultimate teamwork.

[@JacobBax]

And they are well prepaired, with ropes and shovels and stuff.

[@garykieronlainen1826]

Yellow color shirt says "Wrap to ass." liina perseeseen.. thats why they usually pull cars from back.and they are yelling it too ;)

[@Trespas]

You can actually spot a lot of the same people on the "pit crew". One of them is some sort of legend, we call him "Kaljahattu" (beer hat), or some call him "Liinamies" (Strapman). He's the one with the weird red (And other colors) conical hat tha has beer logos on it, he's also usually the one with the tow line ready. He's almost on every rally event, and there are a lot of rally events in Finland :D

[@PlatynowyNissan]

I think they are all ... unemployed.

[@dacartrainguy]

​@@Trespashe's a legend for me now!

[@Twenty3_Motorsport]

Fun part: In rally, spectators can touch the cars/help recovery with no penalties for the race teams

[@cr10001]

It's probably the only practical rule. Since a car might have had an 'off' miles from their base. And how would you police it to be sure that nobody had received a bit of an unauthorised push? And sometimes, if the car is blocking the road, it's to the advantage of other competitors to have it pushed safely out of the way by spectators.

[@eugentarauk6761]

Why is the sight of people working together so emotionally inspiring. Even for a silly (non really emotional, well it can be) thing like rally

[@jeffredd9965]

because it's our natural state... we're taught to be arseholes!

[@trotanen]

Actually, it's just that faster You get previous car out of there, more action You see... 😄 Simple reason for fast co-operating.

[@Khazar01]

I love it how they start running even before the car slides out :)

[@gabbermensch]

I've always thought the States missed a golden opportunity to be the epicentre of rally-racing, look at the available terrain, it's unreal, you could race cars in the deserts of Nevada, then through the forests of Washington State, then the swamps of Florida, the coasts of California, from the city of NY to the state of NJ and back, up to the peaks of Colarado, then a run around the lands of Utah....it's all there!

[@rokk144]

True

[@cirrustate8674]

Don't forget the Cascades and High Desert of Oregon and Washington. I'm honestly surprised rally isn't more popular in the US.

[@christophermorin9036]

Yeah, unfortunately America is also the king of Lawsuits. That's why even in boring old NASCAR everything is behind walls and 30ft fences.

[@toprob20]

Also cars are much cheaper than here in Europe, and the rules surrounding them are often more loose. It's ideal for rally!

[@SunStar2111]

Not to forget, they paved Pikes Peak. Insane.

[@bfulks2001]

The older guy with the bucket hat (usually red) impressed the hell out of me. He was there for almost every wreck. He was running for the car before it actually wrecked. That guy has seen a million rallies. He knew they were wrecking before they did. Awesome video and reaction. I love your enthusiasm. I really miss the SPEED CHANNEL. That was the only place I got to see WRC.

[@debaffleck443]

it's like we are watching TWO sports events at the same time the car rally AND the Fans Pit Crew "time evac trials" 😅😂🎉🎉 Totally impressed... what an adrenaline rush

[@radeee87]

As a one of those Finnish spectators myself, I can tell that you are partially right. The spectating is kinda its own sport, but the goal is to find the right places, corners where the action will be. You kind a compete against your friends and others in this, it is like placing bets on certain places; you need to drive through the stages before the rally and analyze the road, maybe learn old stories etc, then make a plan which places you are believing in and which you can make in time. And during the rally people are all the time hearing news that some one rolled here and there and this and that place 'works' and then you feel shit because of your wrong decision. But when you find the place, nothing beats that feeling. Also most of these rallies are so called "blind" which means there are no recce before hand, so no pacenotes and that means lots of more potential 'places,' but when you find 'a place' in a pacenoted rally, you can consider your self as a Pro Spectator! Of course the most dangerous places are marked on the road for driver's safety in blind rallies also. Finally, I can't explain it to you good enough, you need to experience it!

[@sprendergast351]

Now we know how the Vikings managed to pull their boats across land. Have a hunt for some Ari Vartenen stuff, he is unreal.

[@veli-mattipatinen203]

Ari Vatanen at pikes peak, that's awesome to watch

[@galier2]

[@srjchapo2892]

Bro you realize that the guy with rope is always the same? He is everywhere. Beercan hat man with a rope is legend 😉

[@Gordon_L]

Impressive how all the recovery people work in concert right away , instead of a bunch of guys arguing for minutes about how to do it "right" 🙂

[@cirrustate8674]

Well, they're Finns, and rally is pretty much the national sport there, so they've almost certainly been watching it since they were children.

[@lauriolkku2157]

they propably are a designated group of people with a plan. I can take a guess by the way they speak that they are familiar with the best way of doing that

[@djnazgra]

Coz men not women...

[@iainmckenzie9323]

This is what makes Rally so special. The fans appreciate the risks and skills the drivers take and can truly imagine the same things as it is all done on public roads that we all might accidents on. That's why they rush to help, it could be us on a bad day!

[@darthbanji]

1:00 I`m pretty sure, you didn`t notice a guy in yellow shirt and strange fisherman hat. He is like spectators "boss of all bosses", and appears on nearly ALL finnish rally rescue videos. Check it.

[@PetermusPrime]

Yes Fins are crazy. That's why they make great Rally Drivers, Formula 1 drivers, and Skii Jumpers. I'm a Finnish Australian so I'm only 50% crazy.

Nah, you're likely 100% crazy, just in two different ways. lol

[@just_some_bigfoot_hacking_you]

Well in Finland, learning how to drift and drive in slippery mud surfaces, gravel, snow, downhill, uphill, etc, are required before you get a basic driving license. This is why seeing rally is just a casual thing and a normal day in Finland.

[@akyhne]

In Finland they also have these small dirt race weekends, where they race on small dirt tracks, only a few hundred meters long. After racing, anyone can buy your racing car, for something like $500. You have to sell your car then. So these are of course dirt cheap old cars, but still some people use more money on their cars before the race, than they know they are gonna get back. These events are there, so that anyone Gan get into racing, and is probably one of the reasons, why Finland has so many great racers. Even kids race in these events.

[@Yvolve]

Climb Dance with Ari Vatanen, a Group B legend, is an amazing watch. It's him flogging a Peugeot 405 T16 hillclimb special up Pikes Peak (15.000 feet) and it is filmed so well. It was a short that won prizes on movie festival. He did it 1988, Bobby Unser did it in 1989. watch?v=nvXSXfL4XRc Another great one, although short, is the 1988 DAF Turbotwin beating the Dakar version of the same Peugeot 405 T16, driven by Ari Vatanen, in a drag race across the desert. They're doing 200kph/120mph on sand and it's epic. The truck was an aluminium space frame with 2 engines that each had three turbos, hence the Turbotwin, producing a total of 1.200hp. This was the second generation and one of the fastest trucks ever in Dakar, if not the fastest. The driver is Gerard de Rooij, a Dakar veteran and absolute legend. Unfortunately, the sister truck, driven by Van de Rijt, hit a dune at 200 kph, it rolled 6 times, ejecting the co-pilot Kees Van Loevez, killing him. The other two crew remained in the cab, which had torn off the chassis, and survived. DAF pulled out of Dakar. De Rooij ended up buying the team and race for another 2 decades, until he hit a big dip and his cab broke off the mounts and flipped forward. This was his cue to retire, he was also pretty old. The 1988 crash led to Dakar banning the T4 trucks, which were the Group B of their class. watch?v=AWCNnlk8rkU (The overtake) watch?v=TG0xRdUrkOM This is a French report on the crash, WARNING, they show the dead driver. French people don't give a shit, especially in the 80's. You can auto-translate it to English, which is pretty good, although fast, as French is a fast language. The first 7:20 are them explaining why their helicopter became the medical helicopter. Sand storm came in, the TV chopper had already flown ahead way earlier and was the only available helicopter. They first repatriate a Dutch rider who dislocated his hip, then some aerial shots. After it cuts back to the studio, it goes into the crash. The guy asking "is he dead?" is de Rooij, he was devastated. He gave an interview on Dutch TV on the matter and you could tell he was a broken man. watch?v=ilghtX-tfAA, no English subs though. The last minute is about their being more questions whether the Dakar should continue as it was the 10th edition and 20 people had died so far. It shows a motorcycle rider coming and being absolutely beat. The reason Van Loevez was ejected, was because they used the factory seat rails, instead of bolting it to the frame, like a race car. A second fatality is mentioned, which was a separate crash, this was a Frenchman called Patrick Canado. The Range Rover he was co-piloting had steering problems and swerved into Mercedes 280, the Rover rolled and Canado was ejected. Here's some more links to the Turbotwin in action: watch?v=JgkUo7zWC9U (training day on a military training ground) watch?v=wfuRzunw0NU (another test drive) watch?v=nrQViKCn-OE (a 15 minute compilation, parts in English, parts in Dutch) watch?v=gNgQjCHV0j0 (compilation of weird vehicles that have competed in Dakar)

[@mikkomalinen2641]

@7:17 Cool looking car is Toyota Starlet. This RWD hatchback has been very capable in national rallies where there isn't too much money to spend and drivers aren't professionals. I'm not sure of current regulations but I guess there are still some classes you can race with 'em.

[@Pappa_66]

Yes there is! We have a "class" / race almost any kind of cars😁. Welcome To Finland!

[@GAIS414]

When it comes to the technicalities of getting a car from A to B stupidly fast. There is no comparison to rally drivers. They'll drive on any road, in any weather with changing conditions and a co driver shouting instructions to them. If you can do half of that, you'd be a great driver in any other motorsport.

[@speleokeir]

Watching this reminds me of an incident I was involved in a few years back. Me and a few friends were taking a group of venture scouts caving. We're in our early 20s and the Ventures are all 17-18. 15 of us pile into a mini-bus and head for the Peak district. We have to go through Wolverhampton and reach a big 3-lane roundabout and see there's a car conked out in the middle of the roundabout. Somebody says: 'That's a major hazard. He needs a push to the side of the road.' Somebody else adds 'Might just need a bump start'. Another voice pipes up 'Looks like he's on his own. Shall we give him a hand?' By this time we're passing him and judging from his face the driver's looking pretty worried about his situation being stuck in the middle of a busy roundabout with a car that won't start. our driver takes us back round the roundabout and when we reach him again 6 of us jump out and start pushing the car before the minibus has even come to a halt. The guys face was a picture as 6 blokes suddenly appear out of nowhere and start giving him a push. Meanwhile our minibus is doing another lap of the roundabout. Just as it reaches us the car kicks into life and we jump back into our minibus. The whole thing is over in about 30 seconds and is like a well oiled F1 pit-stop. We give the bloke a wave as we zoom past him and he's wearing an expression of confusion on his face of 'Who the hell are these guys and what just happened?' Pleased with our good deed for the day. We head off and have a fun days caving. On the way home we reach the same roundabout and bizarrely there's ANOTHER car conked out in exactly the same place. This time the driver is a young lass and has a panicky 'WTF do I do now?' look on her face. Somebody say 'Deja vu guys. You know what to do!' so we leap out give her a push and are back in the minibus before she knows what the hell is happening. Once again her face is a picture of confusion as her rescuers disappear into the sunset. It was one of those bizarre things which gave us a great sense of camaraderie and left you feeling good about yourself for helping these people who would have been in a real mess if we hadn't appeared.

[@sweatycrocs3067]

At a winter rally, Sebastian Loeb went of the road. People started helping him, one guy got one of his arms caught in the wheel well and got his whole underarm torn up by the studded tires. Not a pretty sight. Loeb did not notice and raced of in a smoke of snow. So be careful.

[@Pappa_66]

Thanks again! The drivers usually knows that the fans Will try To help them if possible. Especially In Finland and other Nordic countries and like In Estonia. But the new WRC-rallies are bit different cause the rules are changing every year. But cause rally has so many different "classes" /levels so you still see this kind of Action. And we are used To it cause rally has been a huge part of our motor sport since the early 60s. ❤❤❤. Kalle Rovanperä from Finland just won the WRC-Rally In CROATIA this weekend.

[@iDropPhats]

The fans are what make so many drives and finishes possible for drivers. So much so, that the drivers and co drivers know with certainty, they’ll almost always make it out because the fans are so dedicated to getting those cars back on the road. I’ve even heard some fan interviews where people say they hope no one crashes, but they also kinda do because getting a car out is exciting and brings a lot of reward for the people involved in doing so

[@0megaming]

You´d really love the story of Collin McRae (a group A driver from the 90´s), who wasn´t the best of his time, but the one, who pushed his car the most to the limit. Also, the game series Dirt/Dirt Rally began as Collin McRae Rallye. He was a very inspirational guy ^^

[@stevehayward1854]

The advantage that NASCAR has is that you can park a few feet away from the stands and you can see all the action from your seat. But in rallying, you are more connected with the action, the cars miss you by inches, spraying you with track debris. Tips for watching, stand on the inside of a turn preferably behind a tree and peek around the side of it 😜

[@maddermax74]

i done photography at these events in wales/uk for years and on my camera bag i had a tow rope strapped to it and inside my bag a ton of cable ties and duck tape the amount of events iv saved drivers from with just these 3 items are nuts, and yep iv seen cars drive off with the tow rope still attached lol

Since you are a new rally fan, if you haven't heard of already, there is a series called "Launch control" produced by Subaru of America.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZm4nZeCmKd2j9k Here's the video.

[@TheDevilWAH]

I think a lot of people who follow motorsports see there is "rally" and then there is all the rest. What I love about it is it really does seem to come down to the two people in the car. In formula one or simular sports the car and pit / engineering team can play a huge part, you often here "if they were in the same car then X driver would win" as though the car more than the drive is the critical factor for winning the race. While the car also is critical in rallying there is just so much more opportunity for the drive and co drive to make the difference. You will often see the winner's change as the season moves between gravel, snow and tarmac races. And there are not many "bad drivers" in rally, when throwing a car past trees and rocks at stupid speeds the poor drivers get found out and exit early on. So you really get the feeling that every drive has earnt there place, everyone is a great drive which makes the achievements of the winners even more impressive. Have you checked out Extreem E? EV rally? When Ken block tested out the car his reaction was "there is so much torque i have to be more progressive on the throttle I have never driven any thing with this much instant torque" its a bit like a version of rally cross on steroids. I personal am looking forward to more EV series, over the coming years they are going to wipe the floor with ICE cars. The sound might not be there but the power and speed is.

4:10 The Integra is what many people (especially Honda and track racing fans) would consider an "unusual" rally car due to people being used to seeing it competing on track racing events (Honda is a popular choice to build a track racing car). Any Honda car that has built as a rally car is rare (especially in Southeast Asian countries) but can be really fun seeing it speeding through the rally stage in person when the driver knows its full potential. I believe in your country (USA), there's two rally teams that is competing in American Rally Association (ARA) with an Integra. 1 team drove the Integra DC2, the other a DC5. Really cool to see it competing in the same championship event. I recently drove an Integra DC2 that my rally team has bought from a friend of ours in Japan, I'm still getting used to driving it fast that has 1.8 with LSD as I'm used to driving a 1.3 rally car that has no LSD. It's fast and a fun car to drive for sure especially when I get to hear its B18C screaming to 8k rpm (it's more fun to hear it when you've changed the exhaust so you can hear it from the inside 😜)!

[@Matias-dr3ys]

a civic is propably a fun rally car. i dont rally myself but my civic easily loses traction in the rear on snow and dirt with a small flick of the wheel and lifting of the gas and its pretty quick in the corners in general.

[@ombrepourpre7562]

Fun fact... This people chose to be there for that 😂 Help the cars to run again. From the start.

I am from sweden and I am a rallygam/plåtgam (rallyvulture/steelvulture) as we are called in swedish. When a car goes off the road there is ALWAYS people that run up before the corner and warn the next car that comes to slow down with handsignals because they are lifting the car up.

[@EiraAimo]

Actually i think rallying (ARA) is growing in the US, and there is some good hype around it, like new privat american team in WRC. There is also pressure to maybe get WRC event to US. Its important also for marketing purpoises, brands like Ford, Toyota, Hyundai etc. Money rules, its not charity, and US is huge market area. Mexico is already on calendar, so would be nice to see event in north america.

the little red car that went into the deep snow is a Toyota Starlet, a really fun, often turbo'd hot hatch. Came with the 1.3 liter 4EFE or 4EFTE when boosted. Same engine that's in my '98 6-speed Corolla G6 as seen in my profile pic Also, I think the one of the main reasons that rally is so exciting is that it's all cars that you feel like you could own as street cars, racing on public roads. Everything about it is so relatable

[@ilkkak3065]

Almoust right, it's previous gen Starlet rear wheel drive one. Usually in rally 5K engine tuned to give 180hp. NA with carburettors or fuel injection.

[@EnergyXyz]

That symbiose is a rare sight in other motorsports. That's why rallying is so awesome, you are a part of the race.

[@markwright3161]

2:53 There's a camera operator top right of the screen at that point who doesn't move despite the car heading straight for them. :)

[@evanoconnell9448]

dude you gotta book a vacation and go to one of these events and watch a rally live, i bet you'd really enjoy it

[@gregorturner4753]

there is a company rallytravel that arrange everything for you to go to a rally anywhere in the world. my parents went to finland (lots of alcohol lol) and spain, they arrange accomodation and transport to and from the best places in the event and even meet and greets with some rally drivers.

Guy says he is a NASCAR fan but can't see this entire clip was actually a pit stop 2:14 Done perfectly, if I may add.

I watch a 1972 MGBGT get stolen in Jersey City when I was a kid. 6 guys took fence posts , slid them under the car, put 3 guys per side and simply carried it down a one way street and put it on a trailer like it was a normal everyday event.

[@tbonesfishies1797]

Type in rally Australia, Ian another great video as usual.

[@Rhythmattica]

WRC for Drivers.....The isle of Man for Riders ....... There IS NO SUBSTITUTE ! The purest of both forms.

[@MrSpeedyy1991]

I was a kid when i first time went to Neste rally here in Finland, its amazing to see and hear live

[@kringelsworkshop]

oh rally is absolutely great for several reasons. Personally what I also find really fun to watch are 90s BTCC races or highlights, just amazing to watch how the drivers give 110% during these short races there and have these cars on two wheels or no one chickening out when they go four wide into a turn, its amazing XD

[@ShacuLOL]

Do you all notice that at least one person runs up to the driver and co driver to ask if they're okay every time?

[@Nails077]

This takes spectator participation to another level.

[@MellowdyCharmante]

Thanks for the video ! From what I know, there usually is an oil sensor to cut the engine if there’s not enough oil in the bottom of it, at least I know there was one on all the motorbikes I’ve ridden, and I’m almost certain there’s one in my car as well. Of course this might not be the case for certain cars or bikes.

[@ranacker]

I dont know about the cut off, or is there some sort of dead man switch, but i heard them say in finnish: lets roll it and then you can start the engine again.

[@MellowdyCharmante]

@@ranacker that’s to get the oil back down in the bottom pan, so that the sensor isn’t triggered anymore :)

[@AnikaJarlsdottr]

Rally in Finland is like watching a swarm of ants descending on an upturned beetle. but instead of killing it, they help it back onto its feet

[@vollkerball1]

The coordination among men is just amazing! 07:38 yes and yes to both

[@mrolsen6987]

That old dude in the beer hat is a true legend! He's there in almost every video 😂🤘

[@jameskicksledge7986]

He is called Liinamies. There are some videos of him in action in youtube.. He knows all the likely crash places and is always ready with his towing rope, just waiting someone to crash.

[@travisjohnson6358]

I had a beer hat I lost it

[@-sandman4605]

Rally is fun yeah, check out world rally BUNNINGS MILL 80's and 90's in Perth Western Australia. 👍🤠

[@dnaylor2484]

watched on TV a rally in Australia in a state forest near our capital, car went off the road, rolled twice as it went down an embankment, landed right side up, driver gunned the engine and drove along the bottom of the embankment until it got back up onto the road, hardly lost any time...

[@Drescher1984]

I agree, and the best thing is, it's affordable compared to a lot of racing. Yeah there's no reason why America haven't got a huge rally scene in states like Illinois, Montana, Washington state, Nevada mountains, Maine, Idaho, Oregon and other places like these has really good rally surrounding's.

[@whyjnot420]

I live in New England and everyone I know who is into racing, likes rally racing as part of it. I think a lot of it has to do with there being plenty of old roads, which are not legally roads anymore. Meaning that you can do whatever on them. But yeah, why the hell isn't rally racing anywhere near as big in the US as it is elsewhere. I think it contains the best drivers of the day and the cars are just as badass as any other race cars (with respect to tiers of course). And that isn't to even get into some of the crazier details like that the Lancia Delta S4 could do 1-60 on dirt in less than 3 seconds (I have heard as little as 1.9 seconds). addendum: The thing that really got me into rally racing, was the Paris-Dakar rally when I watched it the first time a couple of decades back. Maybe more people should have watched that back when it was actually a race from Paris to Dakar.

[@TheWorstPlayerUKnow]

To answer the q around 5:20 I have no doubt some of the most advanced cars have sensors that kill the engine but for most there are kill switches near the steering wheel or on the wheel

[@icykickflip]

I would be willing to wager that these guys can hit the kill switch as they’re rolling over at 60 miles an hour

[@Slaphappy1975]

From now on every time I see a rally in Finland with a guy holding a rope I'll know what its for 🤣🤣🤣

[@jeeveseventynine9263]

Check out Climb Dance with Ari Vatanen. Patrick Snijers in his Bastos BMW, Colin Mcrae and Richard Burns where awesome.... so many many more. Lancia Delta Integrale was my favorite of all time.

[@karelianshaman]

Driver and co-driver are racing against the clock and every second counts. Faster they get the car back on the road means less seconds are lost. It is part of our culture to help one another no mater what. Greetings from Finland.

[@laineracing]

7:09 yo this driver is someone i know! haha he went there full send thinking it was the track 😂

[@laineracing]

PS thats a toyota starlet!

[@PeterParker-fx9dl]

Love your reactions to rally. It's the most exciting motorsport on four wheels. Most exciting on two wheels: "Isle of Man TT"... in my opinion anyway.

[@Crush963]

This is too great! Love seeing the people jump in immediately 😂👏

[@samihyleh865]

I just love rallying. Narrow dirt roads, TIGHT CORNERS to RIGHT and LEFT! Not just wide long turn to the LEFT.

[@pixelllama8357]

At 9:03 the man next to the camera person says: Vähän ilmastoidumpi auto nyt. Which means "the car has better ventilation now" As it lost a window
