Rally Stage Notes Explained! Zac FAILS At Calling Notes For Ken Block
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2020
- The co-driver and pace notes are some of the most important elements of rally racing. But how hard could it be to just sit and read notes? We threw Zac in the passenger seat of my Cossie v2 during a test stage of the Southern Ohio Forest Rally to find out just how difficult of a job it is.

it's nice they explained this because co-drivers should get a bit more credit for what they do
this helped me understand it much more, but i still don’t fully get it.
Co-driving is a lot of work ! But its hella fun and rewarding
I was surprised when I read the note close to perfect before they showed him, but I also play dirt rally so it help a little.
@@dschrock23 What don't you get about it? Not being facetious.
At the speeds they go and the dangers of many of the stages, many times their lives are literally in the co-drivers hands. It's like Ken said, he is in reaction mode. He doesn't have time to think at those speeds. I just think about the insanity of Group B when he says that.
"Triple caution, triple caution; Samir!... You're breaking the car!"
Shat ap...don't tell me how to drive!
😂😂
@@joelmorningstar3645 🤣🤣
One of the best clips :D
samir! please!
Me playing any rally game and hearing the pace notes. Me: "I know your trying to tell me something, but I have no idea what it is, so I'ma just drive flat out."
That's legit me on Dirt Rally 2. I'm like stfu and let me do the course.
@Mihir Same lmao
@@mihir1857 Big mistake on your part pal :P
@@SkeDav Lolz sometimes the guy is useful tho, sometimes annoying. Sometimes too late, sometimes too early
@@mihir1857 You can adjust the timing of the call but i do agree on some stage of the season pass where they call it wayyy too late (it's the case in french tho)
Ken is so chill, that guy has patience. Just driving along like a Sunday afternoon drive. While Zac is terrified.
I love the clip at the end where Zac is saying the wrong directions and Ken laughs it off at 100mph
@@wafflexboy, yeah I know. Ken was super relaxed.
Is Ken secretly a sadist
Well ken block was driving like this when i was a a small kid for him thats fun
It’s like when im in my car doing 100mph i feel fine but if there would be my dad in the car on the same road 70mph would be to fast for him since he’s used to driving slow... you get used to the speed
"I don't have an accent" he says in a strong American accent
Came here for that. lol. In the west, for some reason we think our accent is the default, and any variation is an accent. I've never understood that. Because even if we are speaking specifically an accent for the English language, we have a few very distinct Canadian accents. And the US has dozens.
ZeroFoxENT when I first moved to the west coast from Alabama, many people where you have an accent,, lol called my cousin just hear him like damn I do 🤣🤣
@@malikashford7288 I definitely have an accent. I can here it in the way i pronounce words. 100 percent Canadian hick accent. And im first generation.
If you're not in your local area, you've an accent. Meaning, not in your county. It's like that universally. Whatever country you go. I'm not sure exactly what you's mean then. Are people in America supposed to sound the same even though you's have big ass country? I highly doubt it.
@@TheIrishBosnian No has "no accent" is the point
Zac reaches that moment when he just prays Ken knows the course...and of course he does..at least at 8/10ths.
This was very informative on a little discussed subject.
“Uhhh squiggly line”. I was dying. Ken, you’re a patient man. Zach, balls dude. Y’all seem to have a really good relationship. Love to see it. 👍🏻
Next week: Zac buys a scrapyard Sierra to build himself the best-chopping rally car in Long Beach.
Haha...won't find any Sierras in America. But I got ya.
@@Miatacrosser wait Sierras are european only? I didn't know that. Rally Foxbody it is then haha
@@ondrejvavre37 yeah they didn't got the sierra in the usa (in other parta of america like argentina they got it). In usa was sold as the merkur xr4ti, with a not very remarkable 2.3L turbo 4 cylinder with 150hp (i think)
Yes!!!!! Lol
I think everyone would like that
5:32 marks the moment Zac's soul left his body
and its come back @5:56
@@3ArtDigital lol
3ArtDigital 🤣🤣
✅✅👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Watch this part probably about thousand times ... 😂😂😂 His face tho😂😂😂😂
Zac: Left 4 minus
Ken: Turns right *laughs*
😂😂
At 4:30
That man said “squiggly line”, I legit fell off my bed 🤣🤣
Edit: Zack I don’t think “this thing f*cking rips” is a proper rally pace note
Would love to hear Alex randomly say that in the middle of a rally
I think we all (including Zac) knew he would fail. It was a good illustration of the Co-Driver's importance on the team. Alex is a pro and a big part of the team's success.
Zac needs to get added to rally games as a co-driver :D
I would pay for tha t
^^^^^
Would be the least amount of lines a co-driver ever had.
I would also pay for that, fuck that's a great idea!!!!
He would kill you with all those mistakes. U clearly don’t know how much skill it requires
Ken: This is where you say drive what you see
Zac: DRIVE WHAT YOU SEE!!! DRIVE WHAT YOU SEE !!
i was cracking up at that haha
Hands down best vid. Seeing Ken working and cracking up at Zacs hieroglyphic readings. Epic
That damn Cossie ain't no joke. Its my second favorite rally car after the rs200
There's a hill climb rs200 that I'm in love with as well. It has the crazy aero, but it's super cool to me.
I honestly believe Zack malfunctioned at 5:32 it's as if he froze. Mind you Ken wasn't using the full potential of the vehicle
and he comes back at @5:56
The fact that Zack can give no directions and Ken can drive like that and be laughing at Zack is just insane. Ken is honestly one of the most skilled drivers I've seen.
An entire video could be dedicated to zac's facial reactions 😂
They explained it in full detail and it’s still too hard to follow. Bless these co drivers bro. I already had a lot of respect for them and this just send it through the roof
The good thing is that every driver/codrirver pair has it's own style of notes. Sometimes i make pacenotes with a friend of mine and our style is very similar to the one used on the DIRT games (our favourite game was colin mcrae rally 05 🤣). Obviously it's a much more simple system because we don't push it really hard, but it's good training because we have a rally project car we want to race in a year or two
@ASNAPS for now we're saving money to be able to pay the mods, and for spares because they will probably be needed 🤣🤣.
We have an Instagram account where i'm going to upload the process, it's called @rally_hunters (a little bit of spam🤣), but right now i post car photos (made by me)
While Zac is in panic, fearing for his life, Ken is dirty laughing and looks calm like he is on a sunday afrernoon family cruise.. xD
Do you remember when Colin Mcrae turned his lights out on the SS in Wales, he went faster with no lights in thick fog, but he had a good navigator.
Thanks for that, years of watching WRC and they have never done a vid on pace notes.
Richard Spruill it was great and more informative than anything else i have seen on pace notes, but i wouldn’t call it deep.
Some old videos of WRC did, like Neil Cole explaining the pacenotes to the audience during Rally Turkey 2010. You can find the video on his channel and Ken Block is in that video too.
In fact, you can lots of pacenotes video that doesn't necessary comes from WRC's YT channel. You just have to look for it.
I had to take a break from watching the video, because of Zac's reactions. I was laughing so hard I started crying. My cheeks and sides were hurting so bad. I made it 6 and a half minutes till I couldn't breathe.
8:56 This makes you appreciate and value even more the skills required to drive and especially *co-drive* a rally car at a high level. A form of art indeed.
I love how Zach is really becoming this TV personality that we can all relate to, like if a fan was to ride along
Ken: “you’ve done this before right??”
Zac: “NO”
*nervous laughter from Ken*
I have never laughed so hard at anyone "go fast" expression👉😂🤣😭.
Zac:"right 5',minus , left 6,holy...(*Beeeep.................... * )6 minus 5 =1 *(Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep..... Beeeeeep......... Beeeeeep*)
Lol
🤣🤣
If you look at Ken like a machine awaiting input and Alex being the person that inputs the code their relationship makes a lot more sense. Alex is telling Ken what, when and how to do the stage as fast as possible, Its really freaking awesome the symbiosis between driver and co-driver.
Rally is so weird like that. They get like one time to drive around in a slow car and figure out the pace notes and pick up on dangerous or scary parts to highlight then they just go for it even if it's their first time on that track first lap is very fast then once they get comfortable its flat out even if the driver doesn't remember everything because the codriver figured it out and made an adjustment on the notes. Every other type of racing drivers know their track insanely well. Really makes it a crazy sport
Who else clicked just to see Zac's facial expressions of mortal fear?
Dirt rally trained him for that moment
If only Codemasters still had the licensing for Ken's cars instead of Forza :(
Legit why ‘rally’ and variations of it, is better than every other Motorsport imho. Welcome to the dark side Zac ;)
rally doesnt get the respect it deserves honestly
Rally seems like it’d be the most fun, but it also seems stupidly dangerous... especially if how many times dad has crashed
@@nfsking27 I think rally is well respected. Although not as popular, everyone who knows about it knows about the massive cahones one must have to take part.
@@flame5169 i agree i just feel it doesnt get a proper place among the bigger motorsports like F1 and NASCAR and honestly have no clue why. These guys are maniacs 😂😂. And rallycross is amazingly fun to watch and super difficult. Not to say other racing disciplines arent difficult i just think Rally should be more popular and better recognize d
@@nfsking27 i think its because the general public prefers wheel to wheel racing where the drivers want to run each other off the track, as opposed to a point to point time trial. On another note if you haven't yet, i recommend watching the Weathertech Sportscar Championship for some proper action.
I wonder if Alex ever goes home driving like "left minus 3 tightens over long crest 150..." Haha like giving himself rally notes lol .
I know we are all looking back realizing how much of a legend he was, and how enjoyable he was to watch. What a guy/legend/father. You will be missed Ken.
Imagine playing dirt rally like this instead of driving
an online mode where its just someone screaming at you would be so good and horrible at the same time
I heard the new WRC game has a co driver mode that lets you make calls for a friend driving
@@XxBillyGoatNinjaxX yeah but it sucks compared to the dirt rally series unfortunately :/
@@von... Have you played it? I've played both DR2 and WRC9 and i can honestly say, imo ofc, that WRC9 just feels slightly better overall. Yes, RD2 can be harder, but harder doesn't always mean realistic. I wouldn't say WRC9 is realistic either, but I get to feel the tyres better on WRC9 than RD2 especially on tarmac stages. On tarmac it felt like I was playing a game that used the slightly mad engine, one of the most prominent engine that gives almost realistic rubber tyre feel; Automobilista 2 uses it. Although I must say that WRC9 feels really really good when using WRC cars, obvious because of the game title, but is a bit worse when using the historic cars. On the other hand RD2 feels good on historic cars but fall short when using WRC cars and RD2 tarmac feel is just not that good.
@@1998lemuel wow thanks for the thoughtful reply dude! ill give WRC9 a shot with this newfound perspective on it vs DR2 :)
if you can do a similar video timing the co-driver with the actual footage of the curve/course for us to correlate the term with the driving
if you sort watch it alot you can get it down pat
that would be awesome
watch one of Ken's longer courses, it'll be less of entertainment-hoonigan but has better driving footage
I get sick just trying to read a book in the passenger seat of a regular moving car, having to do this would be horrible.
I love how he seemed ~ok-ish~ at first and has soon as he looked over the dash and realized the situation the car is navigating he just freezes in a blend of shock and awe.
Revisiting this now is amazing. Ken is a fantastic human and we have all been lucky to have him on our planet.
The Shredditors are BACK IN ACTION! Hilarious and well done
Amazing that Zac gets such a great opportunity. Just think it would've been better for him if he would have done the reconnaissance and written the pacenotes himself. That way he knows what the notes mean and is likely more able to keep up and assist Ken. Now he was just thrown in the deep. Awesome video nevertheless
Zacs reaction had me ballin. Lol such a genuine display of an emotion i sadly wont ever get to experience.
Amazing insight into the world of a rally co-driver. Not a subject often explored but they deserve as much if not more publicity than the driver taking all the stress and thinking from the act of driving on and off the stages on a race weekend. Great video
Watching this video gives a whole new meaning to samirs video. “SAMIR YOU ARE BREAKING THE CAR”
Dude I love how zac and ken are like best friends now just because he’s cool as shit
KB 43 Forever!!! I had to revisit this awesome episode, the man was just a great human being!! Down to earth, cool calm and collected. ❤❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video! The driver/co-driver in rally is one of the most impressive displays of teamwork there is!
when you overprickle your senses and you litterly go in fight or flight mode
5:12 That face when you make Realize that your friend / or boss Has super talent skills And he invites you to come To the passenger seat of a race anyway just watching in shock and amazed
This video is a nice gift to motor sports. Gotta love everything diverse that Ken, friends and team bring to the table.
this video is sooo informative. Would be nice to continue this kind of videos. One thing is inspiring people into rallying, but being informative is so cool!
Ken is having the time of his life. He's just smiling during the whole thing
I Just say" dont Talk whith the Driver when He Drives " you Drive 200 kmh and make Jokes !🚑
They were driving mph, this was filmed in the USA
@@binkoboy55 who cares? And no one asked.
Great video! Thanks for putting this out. I’m a long time rally fan and I appreciate watching these type videos. Hope they inspire the next generation. Keep it up and drive hard, stay safe.
So great to hear more explanation about these systems.
Awe! You have a great Zaccent, Zac!
Zack thought he was supposed to read the lines under the letters like the heart monitors in hospitals... so all we hear are beeps...🤣
This was an awesome video guys!! Answered alot of questions, it's truly amazing the team work needed to stay on track
i love watching and listening to race pace notes!!! more more more thank you!
So.. We know Ken and the other fellow are friends and associates.
We know Ken is crazy.
So major kudos to him for getting in the car. Because not a chance in hell Ken passed up on that opportunity. He knew it would be scary. The good kind you get on roller coasters.
10/10. Would watch again even if pooping happened.
1:33 even my stomach can feel that
Both very entertaining and highly informative video. Thanks, lads!
Ken and Alex, thank you so much for sharing this. It was great to see two men that are skilled in their craft show us how it is done. Zac thanks for showing us how really terrifying it is being in the right seat with Ken!
''squiqily line '' just killed me
Inspired me to build my own
The hoonigans and a local team also inspired me to start building cars :)
@@HRM.H since my journey started I no longer have a bank balance
@@ollyhuntmotorsport917 hahahah same , im building a rx8 13b-msp westfield kitcar. 220hp and 600kg is the goal for now.
@@HRM.H nice a friend of mine has a westfield with a redtop it goes well
@@ollyhuntmotorsport917 nicee , we mostly do 1.8L cupcar builds. We just made this chassis a bit longer and wider. Because were trying to make 275's and a 1,95meter person fit.
This puts a huge smile on my face! Zac's face was priceless during the whole stage! I have always struggled to understand what Alex says when they are driving, but this will help me get it! Thanks for the great video!
A car flipping/crashing/burning to the ground is a real possibility. Zac wasn't under stating his reaction.
@Ken Block You are doing great videos! With these, people can really enjoy and learn to respect drivers and co-drivers.
I'm sitting here LMFAO, but in all honesty, I'd have the same reaction 😂
My hearts hurts Mr. Block RIP. You left way too early
Thanks for breaking this down! So cool to put it all together!
My new fav Block video! Thanks that was awesome
Zac was so scared 😁
Am I the only one that felt scared when they showed the clip of them rolling over and seeing kens co driver’s hand sticking out the window?
That's when they burned the cozzy to the ground =/
Anyone knows where i can find the video for that?
Great to see a behind the scenes look at this sport. Ken is great at his job but can take the time to show others his passion.
I loved everything in this video. From the educational aspect to Zac’s facial expressions. Well done. It makes me want to rally.
Zac was probably thinking man I should've put on some depends in case I peed my pants.
My expectation of driving license test be like:
I learned a lot from that video. Thanks. And it was fun watching it, like always.
I asked for a explanation video of the pilot words im glad this was done!!
Am Love you
He dont have an Accent? Lol
It's so amazing that ken himself is here explaining these things such a cold guy
Kudos to being vulnerable in trying something new. missing the mark. hearing from ken that you missed the mark. then putting it on the internet, and keeping on to learn more. Learning things, and even more so, getting good at things, is quite a process sometimes. Respect to you good sir.
By far most hilarious segment...we need more of Zack reading rally @hoonigan
This was so cool, I've often wondered about the co-driver notes.
That is the single best video I’ve seen regarding the crazy ass nature of the driving KB does every day. To see Zach wide eyed in frozen wonderment and fear? Made my year.
This video made me love and appreciate rallying even more!!
EPIC thankyou for the lesson God Bless You 💎
I'm glad y'all made this video I was always interested on what stage notes actually meant.
Very impressive guys ! Mad respect !
It is unbelievable the importance of that person sitting on the passenger side! Wow it is just amazing the wonderful job that Alex Gelsomino performs! My hat is off to you sir! Thanks for keeping Ken Block safe!
Amazing work team los admiro mucho saludoss
Thanks. I was wondering about this yesterday
Great video guys!! Much Respect to Alex🤙
This is the actual best video of Zac iv ever seen. Way to show the employees why your the boss Ken. 👐🏻
I love zacs reaction you can't tell it's so genuine
Wao.. thanks guys, this was something that was in my mind. How the co driver notes works and how difficult it was. Thanks for the information 😀
Reactions were 🤣. 10/10 one of the best videos from you guys.
What a stellar video, thank you!
