As someone who loves her MINI with all her heart, this is incredible and makes me insanely happy
MaryFrancis Benning when people tell me that I can't make my mini an off-road car I just show them this
Well done. No annoying "hardcore" music with cuts every half second and pointless blurring effects. Vids like this keep people coming back.
JF, thanks for the show. Millions of dollars was invested into this program.
Agreed! It is great to see something with relaxed smart people.
JF, you've turned into a full-fledged host. You often came across as a bit of an awkward duckling in the past. But now, not only are you seemingly more confident, you've become quite the likeable video personality.
I love these factory visits. Please keep it up!
the B-footage at the end is incredible - anyone who has gone fast on dirt can look at that and see how fast and rough that ride is. Good piece guys!
Excellent! Peterhansel and Roma are legends of Rally Raid, it was enjoyable to hear them speak about the discipline they so enjoy. Good editing, music and quality interviews as others have also noted. Hearing it from the experts is far better than hearing it from the presenter. Great work, looking forward to future episodes.
I could watch the in car footage all day. Or at least until I got sick and then I'd resume watching..
By far, the best episode yet. Keep it coming. Thank you.
this was a great, GREAT video. the ending question "how is he suppose to read" bit was pretty funny.
The 'in-car' footage made me feel sea sick!
Thanks for this. Great to see something on rally raid outside of Dakar coverage
You guys are nailing every video you make.
Best episode yet.
One of my favorite videos. Please do more like this. Love the longer vids
Sven is probably the nicest team principal out there !
Now that was amazing! You are great at interviewing also, it just flows smoothly. Awesome video in every way!
That diesel inline 6 sounds incredible!
This is how I feel every time I start my R61. Love my Cooper.
Great overview and footage of this type of racing.
8:15 Love that song... very good music selection
Best UA-cam channel is Drive
Great video. I love these factory tours and the fact that you just let the experts speak. It is so educational. Only complaint is I could have used some subtitles. I had a hard time understanding the driver in the last few minutes of the video because of his accent and driving noise.
That's just insane! JF - awesome video!
Very professionally made video, and great interviews with Pros.
Love mine, 2015 Cooper S All4. Fast, handles well because of the 4 wheel drive. Great fun, go cart handling, love it.
Another great video!
musy, you are finally managing really nice episodes. cheers, keep it up.
The 2 main drivers of X-raid are French Stephane Peterhansel (5-time Dakar rally winner in the bike class and like 3-4 more times with cars) and Spaniard Joan "Nani" Roma (once Dakar rally winner in the bike class). "Nani" is the driver when JF is sitting next to him
wow, that was awesome!
Very well done video!!!
Great video JF. Ive been a massive Dakar fan for years. Started with the Rothmans Porsche 959's and then I got n to the trucks. Check out a guy called Jan de Roy and his twin engined DAF 3600ATI Dakar raid truck. That thing passed me on a motorway in France doing about 110 mph!! It is a monster!
Awesome video
first comment, this was amazing. Had a cousin that did the Dakar races and ones in africa as well as the dunes in the middle east, and let me tell you, i doubted him, but once i drove one, i had to make a custom . Usually for recreational use
Great stuff guys! ;)
Good work jf
I love you guys for finally doing a video on a mini:) I want more haha
I guess it helps to be a member of the BMW owner family to get those prototype engines for your rally team right Mr. Quandt :]
another great drive video, thanks!
Awesome double post :p
I cant imagine how hard it is to handle that car for hundreds of kilometers a day for a week. Those guys are totally athletes.
drive should cover the dakar next reace, ( fi possible )
keep up the good work fellas i cant watch enough videos.
great video! cheers
great video thanks!!!
awesome episode! thank you Drive! (again)
Beautiful video! Again you guy's make THE BEST car vids!
The driver of the ride-along is Spaniard Joan "Nani" Roma. He's from the countryside and he has raced a ton of French-organized raids during his career. Also, he used to have a French co-driver. I guess that makes for a funny English accent
The other driver is Stephane Peterhansel AKA "Monseiur Dakar". He is French
Wow ! I almost cried.
Racing for 2 weeks would be an amazing feat.
Awesome!
best channel
Here in Chile we dont steal the parts. In Argentina has happened but so far it´s been secure for all the participants.
Very very cool.
All X-raid cars have all those spare parts. You never know what will happen. If you get seriously damaged, the assistance truck may need up to 3h to get to you. You cannot loose that much time so you need to be able to repair it by yourself. Also, these cross-country raids are considered "adventure races" so you MUST have basic supplies to survive around 48h easily on your own
thanks for the great video!
I liked the last 2 minutes
good reportage! these cars are amazing, people dont understand... i grew up watching masuoka in his pajero. but vatanen still the best
Great Interview
I LOVE DRIVE!
Amazing video, really interesting thanks.
wow i would watch that and thanks for answering my comment yourself :)
Well we need to get the attention!
I LOVE DRIVE!!!
Thanks fellow Canadian, i figured there had to be some reason it wouldnt work as well since someone on the team must have thought about it at some point
Stephane Peterhansel is Mr Dakar. 11 times Dakar Champion between bikes and cars. From France
Wow.... I just learned so much about cross-country racing that i didn't originally know. mind.blown. How would someone get into this sort of racing? I can imagine skills from rally would transfer over with similar driving styles but it seems like that's just the tip of the iceberg with so many different terrains amongst everything else. It just seems like so much to learn.
The cost of the events vary A LOT. Most European countries have National cross-country championships with 1-day and 2-day races. If you want to know more about car preparation, check the FIA cross-country rally rulebook for the T2 class (it's a bit like the Gr.N from rallying)
Just because you seem to not understand metric measurements.
The maximum wheel base in Dakar is 2m90 which equates to 114.17 inches.
For your reference a Ford F150 6.5' Regular Cab has a wheel base of 125.9 inches or 3m19.
These are trucks and they are limited by what the regulations impose.
Nice vid
Nani Roma es un maestro!!!
awesome :) they still deserve some criticism for the misleading title though thats for sure
2WD cars are allowed to have a much longer suspension travel. It's like a balance: with AWD you get much better traction but with 2WD you can have better suspension and auto-inflatable tires
very cool videos drive
Amazing and great!
nani roma is a legend!
I roll my eyes evertime I hear JFK
Respect
"How the hell are you supposed to read your notes!!!???" HAHAHAHA!!!!
Fantastico!
DAT exhaust :D I love turbo diesels.
It does!
That is how a mini should look like I want one
Because it is a mini shaped truck, and BMW pays for the adventure :)
No no, Joan "Nani" Roma said he used the movement of the car (the inertia) to help the engine to make turns faster and more agile
If the zombie apocalypse happens, I want one of those cars!
I thought that xraid used a custom diesel engine, but finding out that they use the BMW 3L i6 is impressive as heck. I always knew BMW made the best diesels but now from "holy" they acended to "divine" in my eyes.
Yeah most of the teams use production engines. Xraid uses BMW engines, Toyota uses the TT V6 found in the land cruiser (some use Lexus V8s), Prodrive use Ford EcoBoosts etc.
wow minis are now trucks!!
the last 60 seconds is like a warp jump
yeah i know my point was that yes the title is misleading but not technically incorrect, like i said they probably simply meant the car is capable of that, not that they were going to do so in the video
FIA mandates a minimum driving range of 800 km on the cars, to build in some margin of error. This Mini's fuel cell is "not quite" 400 L, which is at least good for that much, if not more.
Considering these things carry enough spare parts to just about build a second car, I don't expect this is some WRC featherweight (the Dakar Car class is anything up to 3500 kg). Between that and the conditions they drive in, that sounds like decent fuel consumption to me.
I'd love to drive one of those..
Awesome I would love to have one of those cars
I'm not ashamed to admit I may be a wee bit envious.
250mm is 10" which isn't all that bad. I'm guessing thats like an inherent safety feature, keeping the driving from pushing to hard for days in a row. compared to something like trophy trucks with feet of travel nearly flying across similar terrain
No Minis are cars. But these trucks that look like Minis are trucks.
In the Dakar the Mini's race in the car category. The Dakar race trucks are much much larger. 10 tonne. Think MAN, Kamaz and Tatra.
Don't worry, his videos often come up late in the day :P
In that section of the video, it's over a bump, not over sand dunes. It's probably a reference to the Dakar/Morocco/etc speeds.
"Oohhh look I don't have-a control"
have you ever seen dakar? peterhansel has the record for both motorcycle and car
1:39 the robot move
