[@spilo4900]

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!

[@user-mx5gr1yd6u]

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 👍

[@escortmexico6909]

I've just sat with my mouth open in awe watching this for seventeen minutes!

[@DirtFish]

🤯😲🫨😮

[@user-zu6qn9ux9n]

You should watch Colin McCrea take his mk2 over Molls gap 1998. Terrifying but fascinating!

[@maxpowerofmusic1405]

Crazy perfect😂

[@yanan3681]

This is better ​@@user-zu6qn9ux9n

[@lima_plays2492]

Just like the Solberg's do 😮

[@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.

[@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.

[@chrisadkin726]

Best 17 mins of TV i have seen since 1985!

[@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.

[@melvyncox3361]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@DaleyRetro]

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

[@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........ 🐺🐺🐺🐺

[@AndrewPeddie]

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

[@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. 😎👍

[@rabmccudden683]

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

[@pieterdouchy3819]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@UCA-kt5bp2ke6x]

Unbelievable Oliver and god footwork 😂👍👍

[@donswier]

Imagine if top level WRC was RWD only.😊

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@lameduck6786]

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

[@ozziejoes]

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

[@PaulOff-RoadDownunder]

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

[@stu2427]

What a talent

[@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.

[@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!

[@Bigdave_t4]

Wow, so smooth and fluent!

[@AmbientMike]

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

[@Jensen96]

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

[@cadillacoftheskies4077]

This is art.

[@danwedderburn5550]

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

[@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!

[@paulcooper903]

Bloody hell that was 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 😂

[@mark19850304]

amazing drive❤🎉

[@iyadkamhiyeh527]

One of the coolest onboards I've ever seen!

[@guivans]

WRC should go RWD mandatory for 2024 onwards!

[@lima_plays2492]

Why? 4wd is way better

[@LawlessAuto]

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

[@freeridermtb4]

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

[@lloydjones7590]

Amazing in every way

[@RC75]

Great onboard quality!!!

[@randomassockss]

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

[@1979phill]

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

[@gabes.6580]

This is insane!

[@BelowAmbient]

love it!!

[@shadowsandfire]

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

[@olkjolkj]

Best in car video i ever seen

[@wiegraf9009]

Fantastic stuff!

[@MrCaprinut]

Loved every second of this! Proper driving!

[@peterc5168]

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

[@andreharewood2384]

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

[@CarlosMiguelReanoVilchez-jv2sr]

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

[@petertrimnell3017]

He's fantastic

[@AnilPrabha]

Mind blowing

[@gogopedia]

Amazing skill n view

[@chasepalumbo2929]

This is awesome.

[@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.

[@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!

[@bigtoepapa]

Love those roads!!❤❤

[@Jyde_Hekyll]

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

[@ermisp41]

Respect!!!

[@Kingsley-wr4uh]

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

[@Ankur3108]

Great stuff

[@JKA19881]

Absolutely mesmerising 😀👍

[@AR3n3gad3]

Beautiful!!!

[@budsprinting]

Let's go!!

[@paulwilliams8588]

Wow!

[@tantona9315]

Exceptional stuff!

[@Stirls23]

Fantastic!

[@zachscott4867]

So good! Those steering inputs are a well played and using the throttle at just the right times. With no co driver audio I noticed the car and wheel position more.

[@edugj23]

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

[@djben06]

Incredible skills!

[@no-speedlimit]

Impressionante.

[@scaleworksRC]

Mk. 2 baby! Top notch piloting too

[@tatukononen6653]

Well done Oliver🔥

[@GrahamHughes-uu1gi]

Masterclass 👏👏👌

[@scottgalley937]

Feels like leaving work on a Friday afternoon to get ready for a blinder night 😂😂😂💙

[@user-wc2ef2tg4b]

Perfect spot on driving!

[@RallyeRacin9]

That's the video I'm waited for!

[@01FozzyS]

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

[@andrewjoeljackson4653]

now this is a cool video concept, just wish the night shot was better focused lol

[@jekanyika]

It's nice seeing clutch kicking in action

[@manolito646]

what a Legendary car. And special in yours, the sound, the cockpit.....awesome. This time, cars were really cars, like my Golf 1 Gti Pirelli 1,8 112HP

[@ricepony33]

Great graphics!

[@florian_montuzet]

Insane car control.

[@erwankiryu7809]

EYEGASM!!

[@ytrezzzz]

This is tremendous

[@bonelessbeef]

No awful music added. Thank you

[@grizzly3793]

Kudos for that extremely smooth transition between day and night.

[@Jicco_03]

Clean,dedicated, skill. Smooth is fast

[@Grid56]

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

[@marius1147]

Superbe 😮merci 😊

holy hell that's astounding

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