Reaction To Finnish Rally Rage

[@MikkoRantalainen]

"This isn't actually a rally, this is just the dashcam for an average Finnish commute."

[@Pyhantaakka]

Monkey (apina) would be more common taunt, but the driver is a bit more cultured.

[@tyr1403]

Swearing by saying "satan's (something)" is like the Finnish equivalent of saying "fucking-", like fucking hell or fucking idiot, it's for emphasis more than anything

[@SaatoSale]

Me on a friday driving to Alko 10min before it closes.

[@jonnycarlson9555]

No need to understand Finnish to understand 🤣

[@squidcaps4308]

The unspoken rule is that if you are so slow that the next guy catches up, you should let them past. There is no official rule, and no one wants to lose time but.. one must be quite an ahole to stay in front this long. I get that they were fairly close to finish but our dude probably lost half a minute there.

[@shindoukyouki]

The drivers go onto the road one by one, and theres multiple cars on the track at the same time, so sometimes a faster car behind catches up to the front car either because its just slower, or has a mechanical issue. Normally the order which they go in is set by qualifying rounds to put the fastest drivers first so the slower ones cant block the way like that for them.

[@squidcaps4308]

The road conditions also change, the first guys usually are at disadvantage, then the road gets gradually better. All the loose stones are removed, and there is a nice "rut" that can steer the car for you. And then it gets gradually worse. It does make the race weekends more exciting, those with a chance to win get closer together.

[@瓦森]

In this case the white car had a mechanical issue, but couldn't give way because of the snow.

[@oh2mp]

Chimpanzee (simpanssi) isn't very common insult in Finland, but in that situation it was very well working :D

[@Garbox80]

I use it when I think someone is being utterly stupid, mostly in regards of manners. I mean chimps can throw their own poo etc. which from human perspective is a no go. I know some use it for racist speech, but for me it doesn't matter where the person is from. All equal here. In fact, I'd say most of the times it's fellow Finn getting this "honorary" title 😂

[@ironjavs1182]

I think the driver is from Pori because that's pretty common insult in here... 😂

@@ironjavs1182 that was fun to know! I haven't heard that very often here in Helsinki area nor in the Eastern Finland, the areas where I have spent my life.

[@Songfugel]

Yeah, a very local expression not really in use other parts of Finland. Apina is the goto in other parts of Finland 😂 ​@@ironjavs1182

[@Censeo]

Satan is a common swear word but the meaning is rarely pondered upon. Satan's shit would be like saying "effing shit" but just like you don't really mean having coitus with excrements, we aren't really thinking of Lucifer's droppings

[@thejjzz]

That car in the front had a gearbox issue

[@lintu25]

This is not WRC rally. I think this is from something domestic (finnish) series.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

As a Finn, the subtitles were accurate. Thought the driver used more swear words but all of those were translated to "fuck" or "fucking". If you can imagine more profane language than "fuck", you can imagine that for half the words in the subtitles. I would assume the original situation was caused by some driver spinning on the road and next driver catching him and instead of letting this driver to pass, keep driving with slower speed in front of him. Basically "I already destroyed my hopes for this rally so I'm going to destroy the rally for other drivers, too".

[@SimoExMachina2]

I'm going to level with you now. This is actually just an episode of My Summer Car winter edition, "My Winter Car".

[@Mayhem-pv9cc]

😂🤣This kind of rage behaviour made my mother ban all Rally games from me when I was young 🤣😂

[@brothersofsnowhere9765]

Just wondering Have u seen Kilpisen työmaa-video? 😂😂😂

[@Noddactius]

This is Markku Alen

[@jattikuukunen]

The s-word used here is quite commonly used as the f-word in English. So a more equivalent translation would be f-ing chimpanzee. Finns don't take that word so literally in this context, it's just a swear word. Well, you're not doing that to the chimpanzee either.

[@Pukamafin]

Saatanan simpanssi

[@jurtsi2930]

Uber rally😂😂😂. Fins like trafik...😅😅😅😅

[@roberteastwood6937]

The word used is "saatana". Cursing. Followed by (implied) he's a chimpanzee. Not the devils chimp....but it might as well be....

[@SimoExMachina2]

Looks more like "romuralli" race which would translate to "demolition derby". So more like an amateur division. Professional rally cars are a lot more sleak than that and have a lot more of horses in the engine.

[@Psykoosi92]

No.

[@finnishculturalchannel]

He probably wasn't driving for any major car brand, so he could let it all out. Might have been some random car on a wrong road. And there are slower drivers, mishaps and technical problems in rallying, which lead to situations like that. Also on top level: "When WRC Overtaking Goes Wrong". And there are top level meltdowns too: "The All Time Greatest Rallying Meltdowns".

[@Garbox80]

This has been told, I guess on the original vodeo's commenta, that the Escort was having technical problems. Why they didn't let the other driver pass at some point (there were a few spots wide enough), I don't know.

[@lihaniska87]

It was basic car whos driver somehow managed to drive to the closed rally track

[@suomenpresidentti]

With number 22 stickers on the doors???

[@Gibbetoo]

no it wasn't, just slow driver. car has number and it goes sideways.

[@19smkl91]

Back side windows had the names on too and you really don't see those cars on the road anymore, just on amateur rally stages.

[@Garbox80]

​@@19smkl91Well you might see those in occasion, but they're in mint condition. And usually driven on summertime only (so that they don't get soaked in road salt).

[@DrMcKay66]

😂😂 Regular car?? That bmw caught up with the slower driving Ford because it is just 1 min start interval. Has happend to me aswell when i was active in rally. I did bump a car in front once because he did not move 🤬🤬🤬
