McRae vs Sainz: Their Incredible Rallying Rivalry and Friendship

[@RedBullRally]

🍿 Binge the new docuseries on Red Bull TV: www.redbull.com/int-en/shows/carlos-sainz-live-to-compete

[@Redmi-j4i]

Colin and Carlos. Two legends that respect each other and were simply the best. They are the reason why I fell in love with the rally over 20 years ago when I was a little boy

[@andresrossi8744]

I´ve never felt anything special about Colin aside from knowing he was a legend until today. Hearing Carlos, my favourite driver talking this way about him is special, like hearing Hakkinen remembering Schumacher, makes you know what kind of people they were. Rest never forgotten, Colin McRae.

[@morrydodd6211]

I've loved Carlos from early f1, but am loving his new role in E Extreme! I want to drive one!!!! Soz, Extreme E racing! Bloody brilliant👍

[@thechrisyoung7717]

Touching to see just how much Colin meant to Carlos. Rivals in the beginning, friends forever.

[@tracytoh282]

Carlos is a gentleman, never liked this generation’s rallying. Never be the same without Colin and Subaru 555 😭 RIP

[@StephenLMW]

Colin and Carlos where absolute superstar’s, both men raced in the greatest era of the WRC and they where 2 of the main reasons why it was the greatest WRC era, R.I.P Colin, Vamos Carlos 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇬🇧🇪🇸🇬🇧🇪🇸🇬🇧🇪🇸🇬🇧

[@OliverHinz]

The reaction of Carlos shows so much respect.

[@qiwei2684]

Btw, am I the only one who realizes this: Carlos and Colin were teammates so many times. Like subaru, ford, citroen

[@darrensouthward1824]

Agree

[@eliasyanez763]

Missing him since that horrendous Saturday we knew they had passed away. The next day I decided WRC was over for me, right then. Actually, Colin had been the last bloke that made me feel travelling to northern England and strolling 15 miles in mid November was the best moment every year. He would not be sideways anymore and I will never forget those pictures in my mind.

check kalle rovanpera, the kid is an alien. i saw him at wrc chile 2019 and he was blazing fast, in a wrc2 was matching the speed and agression of some of the wrc cars, on the same corners

[@badsystemmessage5692]

@@savagegtalks5912 I don'T think so. Group B lasted how long? 4 years? And World Rally Championship has over 50 years of history. I know people who prefer the WRC era at the end of the nineties.

[@gerardolopez5764]

Definitely Carlos Sainz is a Sir!

[@christycullen2355]

Colin was such a massive part of my childhood. Through rally and x games. It properly devastated me when he died. A true racer in the most literal sense.

[@D4rthyyy_]

There is just something so pure about the Group A era

[@garethdavies3175]

It brings tears to my eyes every time i watch anything to do with the legend of rallying. RIP Colin. We miss you mate ❤️

I miss Colin, talent and charisma in abundance. Great video!

[@Welshy1001]

What an era.... 🤘 So many teams, and drivers capable of winning..

[@tsrana-vb5rv]

always cry even today when I remember McRae. What a legend. Watched him many times flat out at the Safari

[@LD-bv1pm]

I recently saw a quote from Coulthard about how good rally drivers are, the very best. Colin was one of the very best rally drivers. One of the best of the best. In some great company, Sainz included.

[@JoshuaC923]

Two legends

[@mrbetabombs2017]

No wonder the 90s were the best years for WRC, I hope we could get something this crazy nowadays

Really cool short to include Spanish press. We rarely get to hear the perspective of the otherside.

Como siempre Carlos y Luis mostrándose como lo que son... todos unos caballeros y señores. Gracias por ofrecernos esta gran época en los rallyes. Gracias por estos duelos. Gracias por emocionarnos. Gracias por se parte de nuestras vidas. Quien no ha dicho alguna vez: Rasss o sasarrrr o hemos llorado infinidad de veces al ver las imágenes del 98 de canal+....

[@riccardoconterno1644]

I love Carlos

[@edu0013]

The McRae-Sainz-Subaru situation is exactly the same as Hamilton-Alonso-McLaren

[@JJPowerSlide]

Totalmente de acuerdo. Una situación clonada casi a propósito jajaja

[@parthlad]

Except Ron Dennis handled the situation and caused the situation.....much much worse than what Dave Richards did

[@JakePeroni]

I raced against Colin's grand kid in karting and had the pleasure of hanging with the McRae's at races for years, This rivalry btw was just incredible

[@Wozzario]

Colin's grandkid??? 🤔

[@alexpeartree2019]

Sainz and McRae made each other legends... Same as Hakkinen and Schumacher. If you beat the best you _are_ the best.

A fitting and moving tribute to the great McRae and this rivalry.

[@riccardoconterno1644]

I remember Colin in San Remo rally . Crazy and spectacural

[@bigshowwezlo8704]

The greatest driver to ever grace a rally stage. Often imitated and never equalled. RIP Colin, you live on in our memories.

[@paulomarinho1963]

So far, there were at least 10 better drivers than McRae on the WRC, Röhrl, and Loeb, the undisputable best and Munari, Alén, Mikkola, Kankkunen, Sainz, Makkinen, Ogier, and Rovanperä the remaining 8. And there are some more, Vatanen, and Blomqvist, are two examples. But, as a delight to the spectators, yes, McRae was amongst the very best ever, on par with Toivonen and Vatanen, the trio that I will never forget to witness from the side of the stages. Actually, on the 80/90's, I knew a way to see the 10 lead drivers on the two first stages of the Rally of Portugal and, then, see the top 20 on the third stage, before driving to the 6th, or 7th stage, but, for a number of years, opted to see the beginning of the first stage, thus, losing access to the 2nd and 3rd stages, only to guarantee that I would see McRae passing at least once, this is how much spectacular he was. And, believe me or not, I once saw him doing a hairpin with the two front wheels momently suspended in the air, this is how much he cut the corner.

It's so interesting how their careers overlapped, having been teammates at three different teams as well.

Sad thing is that both our British WRC champions have passed away 😢 😞. Both way way too young 😢.

I've never heard Carlos talk about his relationship with Colin until now. This was great but another reminder of the how sorely Colin and the 3 others are missed.

[@juliocesar3603]

Caro Carlos Sains eu não deixei de ver o vídeo Colin McRae vs Carlos sains e gostei muito! não vou dizer que a é Melhor do que o b porque todos foram bons! mas o Colin dava espetáculo dentro do espetáculo, eu cheguei a ver ao vivo em Fafe no rallye de Portugal no Logico ano 1995 pela Subaru e eu estava ( o que hoje se chama Pedra sentada ) e vi o carro dele no ar completamente de lado ! o Colin Era deferente não que os outros eram maus a beira dele não é Isso ! mas o Colin tinha alguma Coisa que só o Makkus Alan nos tempos da Lancia nos anos 80 do grupo b tinha ! era um piloto de rally fora de série!

Bright memory of this champion, he brought a lot of joy to his viewers and the whole world .....

Make sure that people are saved in the rest of the transport , maybe it will be inflatable pillows for helicopters or something else ... please come up with something...

[@UyandaMaboea-dv3qc]

All I can say is that Subaru and Ford probably had the best driver lineup with these 2 titans but inability to communicate CLEARLY caused unnecessary friction. Certainty cost Carlos at least 2 titles (if he stayed until '97, he certainly would've kept the fastest car of that year and '96 on the road more often)

The naivety of Richards, Sainz, Maya et al. was almost bemusing, like you could stop Colin McRae on a whim. There was no stopping this bloke. It took a helicopter crash to do that. Rest easy, Coco, the world still misses you tremendously.

[@peterbennpan7288]

Colin McLEGEND

[@D25Bev]

Of all the world's sport stars & drivers who passed far too soon, it's Colin who i seem to think about the most from time to time. He might not be the greatest driver on paper but to me he was the greatest & most exciting. WRC hasn't been the same since. Partly to do with the naff cars these days but mostly because it doesn't have Colin driving on the edge.

[@volt8684]

[@arturogonzalez8373]

Dos mundiales le costó a Carlos ése equipo

Los Rallys se ganan ganando no mandando parar , Luego quieres ser el mejor y hay que dejarte ganar

[@carlosmagnus717]

Preferring winning a rally to winning a world championship seems a little strange to me, doesn't it? Helping a car evolve with endless hours of test after test and then being rewarded by not letting you win by being abandoned by your own team seems very unfair to me. On balance it is clear that Mr. Richards was quite cheat, manipulative and deceitful, as well as being quite ungrateful. Then, to a lesser extent, Liatti and Kankkunen also suffered it.

[@TheHarshWay]

Carlos Jr looks exactly like his dad with a helmet on!

[@vanwandererx852]

If carlos was that good he would have won that championship.this is rally,its not circuit racing.if both drivers are that good,they would have won the constructors championship

Decent job done by the editing team AI upscaling the old footage. Still a little wonky at parts and depending on the source material as is par for the course with that stuff, but it's not overdone so that detail is stripped away too heavily. Gotta give ye props for that. Most people just crank it all up and it makes everything look awful.

[@badsystemmessage5692]

What do you mean? Where is AI here?

[@BryanSteacy]

@@badsystemmessage5692 a lot of the old footage has been upscaled and denoised, probably with Topaz Video AI. You can tell because some parts are uncharacteristically smooth or clean for the age, condition and origin of the source material. It's done really well here, it's not too overdone. Just enough to make things a little clearer.

@teacyThanks for your reply. You must have a good eye for those things. I didn"t notice anything.
