I've already said this, but I can't help repeating it: this was such a fantastic era for rallying, so many great factors contributing to making it such a memorable, absolutely legendary time. There was a bunch of great drivers, all with their own personalities, but all of them interesting people, driving with flair; the rallies were classics, every one of them; (...)
@@MS-qm3ml they said the reason why they can't is cause of the new safety features in the cars make it hard mount the camera properly otherwise they would.
lol hopefully your family don't read your comments. But yes for guy's that have there names on video games the only good ones are dead. RIP Dave Mirra and Colin McRae
It's Awesome. Always Flat-Out, very calm, never brake before jumps, strong in many esses... What a Driver he was. Colin, we miss you all. You already have a place in my Motorsport Hall of Fame. Rest in Peace.
I love how he prepares for turns like a magician!... he flicks the car away pre turn and sometimes does 2 flicks in each direction(when hes slowing down) be4 going in the turn; and if u watch closely most of the times hes in a turn he spends it turning the wheel in the opposite direction of the turn to counter the oversteer. Man rally is completely a diff beast!
Thanks WRC for loading this video! Thanks for turning down the navigator voice too.. with the engine louder it just makes it more intense / scary, like it should!! Colin on Maximum Attack!
Again, gorgeous car control presented by Colin here. And it's all too easy to forget what a superb event the Argentina is, and that it doubtlessly deserves to be called a classic. The stages have absolutely everything to test the driver. I was struck by the low traction of that seemingly hard-packed surface.
Colín el más grande! Tuve la suerte de ir a verlo a Cordoba. Cómo soplaba ese turbo compresor cuando le metía la sexta marcha. Impresionante! Nadie llevaba a "la foca" mejor que el. Un fuera de serie. Saludos desde Argentina.
@@QuickNickGT I'm afraid you are mistaken sir, if you would read the comment from the gentleman above again, I think you'll find that he was indeed referencing the best WRC driver of that generation,, so obviously he's refferring to Tommi Makinen.
@@shogun_arasaka nope, he has his own opinion and he thinks McRae is the best from that generation. Look, i don't know much about rally as im much more interested in F1 and endurance racing, but what i know is that McRae was great and there are reasons to believe he was the best, even if he wasn't. Genuine question now tho, Tommi won 4 consecutive titles right ? Did he have the fastest car all these times or not ? Because if he did its a completely different story
@@QuickNickGT Hey mate, I was gonna take you for a wee ride here, but since you've been straight up I can only give you the courtesy of doing the same. Tommi and Colin were the two major rivals of that generation, fan banter comparing the two was just that, just like say, the Scuderia vs Merc or Red Bull, City vs Liverpool (I wouldn't consider United as rivals to City 😉😅). I was obviously a Tommi fan, hence my smart ass comment above. Truth is, both McRae and Makinen were astonishingly skilled drivers and both deserve a place in the WRC hall of fame, real fans respected them both as deserved. They both had equally balanced machinery, one of the great things about the WRC in those days was the mostly evenly balanced vehicles populating the top tier, any of the factory team cars could win on any given weekend. The season long battles between Colin and Tommi were epic and legendary, unfortunately for him, Colin just could never quite get that edge over Tommi and always ended up the bridesmaid. By the numbers, yep, Tommi takes top spot, but all things considered, their thrones both sit proudly beside each other on the highest of peaks (just below Loeb's pinnacle) in the world of rally. (I follow many different types/classes of motor racing, particularly fond of Endurance and GT racing, but like yourself, F1 rules the roost for me, have been an F1 enthusiast and a die hard tifosi since I was a little kid. 🙂 For the glory of the Scuderia! FORZA FERRARI 😁). Have a good one mate, happy new year and all that. Cheers.
You are very right. The era where we had 3 cars for most teams, Auriol, Burns, Gronholm, Makinen, Kankkunen, Sainz, Martin, Rovanpera, Panizzi and Delecour was magic! Never forget those times. Rallying has evolved a lot since then and it may be a long time before we have the privilege to be entertained like we were through those years...
En este tramo, Colin McRae marcó un tiempo de 11:28.9, a +3.6 del scratch de Richard Burns: 11:25.3. Colin McRae y Nicky Grist (Ford Focus RS WRC '01) ganaron este rally con un tiempo total de 4:18:25.3
The guy is on the limit everywhere, thats why he was so loved. Most spectcular driver of all time! Colin Mcrae-"Everybody loves to see someone trying their hardest."
Watch our official Rally Argentina highlights video here: ua-cam.com/video/uknP2qOMyA4/v-deo.html . Over 50 minutes of classic WRC action with Colin McRae, Richard Burns, Tommi Mäkinen, a Marcus Grönholm CRASH and more!
Wow! alnerry is right, no one drives like that any more! Colin was an artist! He'd be lined up perfectly for the apex before he even got to the corner!! Incredible. His style was so fast and on the edge of the limit, but at the same time was so smooth and controlled. I doubt we will ever see another with this talent. The one and only Colin McRae... RIP you'll always be missed
It's so sad that Colin only won one WRC title during his career. He would've deserved to win 9 titles not Loeb. McRae is the true Rally legend. RIP Colin
hexagon523 He couldve had he been more conservative with his driving.Then again its Mcrae we're all talking about. A man who doesn't know anything but flat out. That whats make him so unique and special.
Just because you like Colin doesn't mean you have to hit at Seb Loeb. Truth about Loeb is that he was so quick he could afford to be more cautious than others. And still be as quick if not quicker than them.
(...) and then the cars -- those cars let the driver show so much skill, not like the later machines, which are faster, but that's mainly through finding every bit of straight-line traction and making the car handle in a rather dull way, on comparison. We can only be grateful that those great circumstances coincided, which made it possible for the genious of Colin and the true brilliance of such fames as Sainz, Makkinen, Auriol, Delecour, and many others, come through and shine.
The murram road is smooth, level as tarmac road facilitating sprint race. In Kenya rally, it's an adventure, and it's unpredictable weather adds the spoils. Memories of unexpected terrains after a recce is the hurdle facing competitors.
The wipers are activated by the co-driver as he knows when the water is coming via the notes. The foot rest in the cockpit has a button he activates with his foot to turn the wipers on and off. Therefore the driver can concentrate on the driving of the car. Our WRC cars are pretty high tech eh!
Funny how nobody didn't ask Colin to have a go on a Touring Car let alone a single seater...Clear that he was born to drive sideways in the mud and that there was no other category that fits his particular talent :)
see Colin and see others from the argentinta rally it will seem to u like the others go very slow. He was driving to the limits of getting off road what a driver RIP
Rally GB in the original Colin McRae Rally for the PS1 was a level I could never figure out. Good thing I've already wrapped up the title by the time I got to that stage so I didn't need to win it but I just needed to finish in 6th to unlock it. Nicky Grist would go "That was slow" lol. Words he never told Colin.
They also activate some engine protection against water...I remember Toni gardemeister having problems with it when his codriver forget to do it when they were in a Skoda
actually you can see that stick goes right to the column so he uses that instead of the paddle but it works the same, maybe he likes the feel of the lever but its the same. Some had a big ring around the back of the steering wheel to grab instead of paddles too
The wipers while steering would be quite the challenge, not to mention everything else he was capable of doing.. that just sort of struck me as something that'd be an unnatural feeling...
if I wanted to become a rally driver in the wrc or otherwise, as the rally of Brazil, how does it make? what it takes? I need a car or the car is the team ... ? thanks.
It shows how much skill you need as a rally driver. I mean the course is hard enough as it is and ther are even harder ones out there. But look at how much Colin has to do, he has to do every turn perfectly while fighting oversteer and understeer and because rally cars didnt have flappy paddle gearboxes then it was even harder (as he had only one hand to control the car alot of the time), as well as flick and push switches and buttons while going along for the windscreen wipers etc.
