This sort of thing is our first clue about how carefully stage managed all the messaging is. With the vast breadth of the English language behind them why do these professional speakers always say exactly the same thing over and over and over. On every channel. On every topic

Colin McRae is one of the few WRC drivers to go down as a true legend, and the embodiment of "When in doubt, flat out." RIP and may he and ken block be racing each other on the great dirt track in the sky

[@Chr.Monika6469]

Yeah, but at the same time that was his biggest flaw. He lost a few championships thanks to that, specially 2001

[@AverageGuy28]

​@@Chr.Monika6469 And he also lost his life and his family's because of that too.

I just want to send much love to the people who make these cars so safe for the pilot and the co-pilot, you are heroes!

[@ThaDutchDK1989]

Atleast number 1 does really stand above the others 😱😅 incredible they survived 180kmh off nose dive into the ground. The roll of latvala was scary 2 it kept rolling

[@gwcrispi]

I can picture myself driving all sorts of race cars. Ovals, road courses, everything but rally. I don't have any desire to do this sport. Absolutely terrifying. These drivers deserve the utmost respect.

[@steventhecreator3621]

Marko Märtins off in Argentinia is missing ! That was a massive crash !

[@Rosario_Verano]

In the immortal words of Jeremy Clarkson: ''And then... disaster.'' (PS. Markko Martin in Argentina '03 or '04 was huge.)

[@cardealerfan3349]

These actions and crashes are so much fun to watch, it's insane

[@dvzz6285]

feels like the announcers are being held at gunpoint to say the cars are safe

[@Happymali10]

Always worth remembering: An extensive rollover might look violent, but it's preferable to a crash that brings the car to a dead stop, because the rolling and bumping eats up energy that thus doesn't get transferred to the passengers.

[@supaps6238]

Gigi Galli Big Crash Germany 2008 Francois Delecour 2002 Australia Colin McRae 2001 Wales GP These are also pretty spectacular

[@dinxsy8069]

Straight to the heart, McRae shown first

[@chicobicalho5621]

Makinen's crash was extra dramatic because of that miraculous hop over a spectator. It was truly miraculous because it was rolling, then it went higher over his head just as if the guys guardian angel pulled the Subaru up from the heavens to avoid him. I think Tommi was very, very shaken afterwords.

[@TiE23]

3:40 I saw this live and I, like everyone watching, went from “oh man, Ford and Teemu are looking good!” And bam. Hopes dashed.

[@maxell1221]

I'll never forget Francois Delecour's crash in Australia in 2002, where he went straight into a tree at high speed and it launched the engine out of the car upon impact. Luckily the driver and codriver survived.

[@MeganenekoP]

That's what I call the rally!

[@quinith405]

massive shout out to the "testaments to the strengths" of those rollcages

[@Rembrant65]

You know you are in for it when the rolling is picking up speed. Number 4 at Five minutes.

[@Lucas_Gamaleri]

Moral: if you want to be a champion, you gotta push yourself to the limit

[@mr.buttons8486]

Travis pastrana rolling his Subaru in rally, thats a great roll

[@challenger2031]

Seeing Jari Matti - apologies for the spelling, looking like he only had small bruises to his face thinking that he was to those who didn't see the crash realise just how lucky he is to not be more seriously injured, the safety of these machines is incredible. Thank God he was ok!

[@Tommuli_Haudankaivaja]

I have a few hundred hours of Finnish rally crashes in vhs. I haven't watched them since I was a but a child. Might get a device to watch them on my pc.

[@SJSRally]

Look at Tommi Mäkinen around 8:02. His neck looks swollen after the crash on the right side.

[@DannyFR30]

I do not follow rally....but when I do watch it, I'm baffled as to how they do it. It's insane.

[@AfroMyrdal]

Petters off in Germany 2004 should definitely have been on the list.

[@dr.kosmodroom4365]

You mean the first corner into the hinkelstein? Sunninen´s crash was pretty basic i think. Could´ve been instead imo.

[@johnnydoodles88]

Marcus Grönholms crash in Rally Germany 2004 in the Impreza has got to be up there.

[@tommcglone2867]

The first that comes to mind is Francois Delacour stacking it in Australia on Murray Pines in 2002. Ripped the entire engine out that Evo

[@christo6142]

I saw the 'bodyshell' from Jari's Portugal 2009 moment. They kept it for ages at Msport.

My top 10 biggest WRC crashes ever 1. Colin McRae Cyprus 2002 2. Tommi Mäkinen Corsica 1997 3. Petter Solberg Germany 2004 4. Carlos Sainz Australia 1991 5. Ott Tänak Mexico 2015 6. Ott Tänak Monte Carlo 2020 7. François Delecour Australia 2002 8. Harri Rovanperä Finland 2004 9. Colin McRae Finland 1996 10. Marcus Gronholm Sardinia 2005

[@skynet0912]

Nothing will ever top Markko Martin in Argentina 2004. Not much of the crash was captured on video besides hitting the rock at high speed from the onboard, but the aftermath of what is basicly reduced to half a car still amazes me to this day that both occupants got out relativly unscathed...

[@NBC_NCO]

I would like to have a street car built as tough as these rally cars.

[@forischatz1994]

Marcus Grönholm in Wales GB (2002)? Petter Solberg in Germany (2004)? Sébastien Loeb in Greece (2009)? You can find many more crashes.

[@rhvre]

No Tänak landing in the lake?

[@jartsuw10]

that wasnt too big

[@marekkuran4956]

They gently slipped off the road. Just destination was unusual in that one

[@shubham_M7777]

Yeah

[@shubham_M7777]

​@@marekkuran4956What if both of them had not come out of the car on time? The car was drowning in water, seatbelts, roll cage, it takes time for the brain to recover. They took quick action otherwise both of them would have drowned as the water was very deep.

[@Kombivar]

I was hoping that Ott will get the No.1 spot - that's the image in my mind when I think of a massive rally accident.

[@burkhardschmidt492]

There has been many enormous crashes - just to limit to 10 it’s not the tribute to the engineers and the development in the security and safety in the incredible sports! Colin’s crazy hinkelstone crash 2004 shows massiv deformation in the crashcage he survived more by luck than by strength of his cage
