The 'Scandinavian flick' is used to deliberately break rear wheel traction and creates a pendulum effect to swing the rear of the car into the desired direction (in short).
Yes, they make a mass transfer from the car to the front which makes the rear lighter and allows the car to slide. In France, we call it "l'appel; contre-appel".
@@gerardmanvu3147 That you can do just by braking. In scandinavian flick you do two weight transfers (note: mass doesn't transfer except when for example person eats or takes a dump). First smaller one happens when you turn car away from corner. Second, bigger, weight transfer happens when you suddenly turn to opposite direction, in to corner.
As already mentioned the drivers and co-drivers recce the stages before the event in a normal road car at normal legal speeds and make notes of the corners etc. - these are called pacenotes which the co-driver reads back to the driver on the actual event. The impressive part at 9.03 was New Zealand driver Hayden Paddon in a Hyundai World Rally car. Hayden has a YT video on how he and his co-driver make their pacenotes - ua-cam.com/video/lIZkGnLcBzI/v-deo.html
@@GABBO01 Yes they do... I am French and passionate about rally and I know the wrc very well. They don't necessarily know the routes by heart. As @Frank Love says, they drive the roads before the race at normal speed and in normal cars... This is Rallye
The noise at about 8:43 is the induction side of the turbo on that Sport Quattro S1. Turbos weren't as good back then, as you might expect, so they can be a bit louder than modern examples when doing the same job. All of the modern era cars are turbo'd too and produce a greater pressure ratio but they're designed and machined much better so you don't hear it as much. They're rotating at over 100,000 RPM so the sound is air being sucked into the compressor housing at high velocity.
The driver have not had practice runs unless they have raced the track before but the co-driver has instructions so he is saying "sharp left", "long right", "hump and turn left", etc so it's a two man sport.
"In the WRC races held since 1972, 19 racers, including 7 pilots and 12 co-pilots, have lost their lives in rally accidents. While a great number of serious accidents have taken place since 2006, no fatal accidents have been reported in the WRC".
2:41 Answer to your question: Yes. If you hit moose with a car, you hit it legs and it fall to its side and momentum makes it to move back first (it strongest part first) towards windshield. If it comes thru windshield, you are done. Moose can survive from crash, but it can't (most of time) move any more, because it legs are all/some broken = it can't move anymore and dies painfully. That's why (if moose have managed to leave from crash site), at least here in Finland, after the crash, police make request to local hunting group to find that moose. When hunters finds that moose they evaluate it's change to live and heal, if it look's like that it's not on condition to find food and defend it self, they kill it. If moose is still on crash site, we have in here Finland some police's specially trained (most of them are allready hunter's) to do same thing what hunting group would do, evaluate it's change to live and if it does't have change, they kill it on site with service pistol (9mm) if they can get close enough.
To me it's a stunning feat of engineering what these cars can go through without it being that dangerous for the driver pair. Some nasty looking ones in recent years where nothing serious happened. Rallying is ofc dangerous, you'd be a fool to think otherwise, but the cars can go through so much now. Sadly still quite recently drivers and co-drivers have been killed in crashes but these have happened outside WRC in more local racing series'.
4:45 They don't memorize the track beforehand. That's why they have a co-pilot with them. The co-pilot's job is to navigate, commonly by reading off a set of pacenotes to the driver (what lies ahead, where to turn, the severity of the turn, and what obstacles to look out for).
Exactly and they have like code language. 150 dip, 100 jump and they rate corners so the driver knows what speed/gear he needs. The co-driver is reading this to assist the driver. But they do recon before the race.
@@Mart687 I was trying to be a co driver back in the 80 s but i wasent reading fast enough and that was in the 80s today we should have chrashed in first corner ! But from my town we had a really good man making notes for many big rallies and drivers !!
5:41 this is honestly one of the best displays of car control that a rally driver has... a FWD car with the back end skipping and bouncing around, and on that first big bounce, before the tires are even at the apogee of the bounce, the driver has already dialed in the correct amount of opposite lock to bring it back in line, and continues to finesse it down the road as it keeps bouncing. That is driving on the ABSOLUTE limit, 10/10ths, 110% focus. I am willing to bet that if there was a cockpit camera, the driver would not be blinking, his mouth hanging wide open, because that is a very common thing to see with rally drivers as they are using every single neuron not needed for life support in their brains to focus, so much so that they even take the processes to hold your jaw muscles taut and your mouth closed (an unconscious thing for 99.99% of us).
Don't get worried about the Mr.M's videos, everyone involved there are fine. Even his crash compilations are, no fatal crashes inside, and no serious injuries. At least for now, I've never seen any, and I really appreciate it. And thanks for your cool reactions, I always enjoy them!
to answer your question re stage knowledge, they will do the stages in whats called the recce where the co driver will compile detailed notes as dictated by the driver, it's only after several years of experience that some drivers can run a stage almost by memory (Mark Higgins at castle Douglas many years ago
Love watching people watch rally stuff for the first time, with the whole fatal crashes thing, unfortunately, you'll likely see a few due to the nature of the sport (especially group B stuff), but most of the time the real bad-looking ones where they roll a ton, those are actually the more survivable ones since the rolls are slowly taking energy out of the crash instead of coming to a sudden stop, that's why they have cages, harnesses and HANS devices.
8:41 that "noise" is a monstrous turbo that the Sport Quattro S1 was fitted with, that pushed the normally 210-ish HP inline-five, after it had been built up for racing, to 510+ HP. As the turbos of the day didn't have blow-off valves to release pressure, the design of the Triple-K turbo that the Sport Quattro S1 used was ingenious in that it used a recirculating pressure circuit, meaning that any excess pressure buildup in the intake plenum, instead of becoming "dead air," pushed through a one way valve, up a hose, and blew into the compressor stage of the turbo via another one way valve. This helped spin the compressor harder, and was the very first instance of an anti-lag system. The other famous sound of the S1 is the "pshooshooshoo" sound when the driver suddenly comes off power, which is the charged air, having nowhere else to go because blow-off valves, as mentioned, didn't exist yet, fires back up the charge pipe to the compressor and, as the blades of the compressor "rip" the charged air apart, it breaks the sound barrier multiple times a second. This both sounds awesome, was extremely tough on the compressor blades of the turbo, and also kept a small bit of charged air in the charge pipe, meaning when the driver floored it, power was nearly instant, which is why the S1 could accelerate so brutally fast out of corners.
4:37 As far as I know, they get to drive a regular car on the track first, so the co-driver can write down the actual pace notes they use later on in the race event. That's how it was in the 90s-2000s, so I might be wrong 8:41 Also that sound was the actual intake for the turbo in that car. The Audi Quattro S1. It's considered to have one of the most iconic sound of the intake and blowoff in rally sport.
They are indeed doing recce with regular cars, following all the normal traffic rules. Driver tells the note and co-driver writes it down. My understanding is that they use videos too to double check the notes, at least one of the Finnish co-drivers told that in an interview few years ago.
The Sport Quattro S1 didn't have a blowoff valve, it had a recirculation circuit with one way valves, and that "pshooshooshoo" sound when the drivers lift suddenly off throttle is actually the charged air firing back up the charge pipe into the compressor blades, causing hundreds of mild compressor stalls as it breaks the sound barrier while being ripped apart.
I'm a pretty seasoned rally fan myself, but I gotta be honest: I had that EXACT same reaction the first time I saw that Hyundai drift turn at 9:03 Absolutely insane.
Answer to: how they know stages, Co-driver goes through all stages and makes pacenotes so he can read them to the driver off course, co-driver has to know the stage very well
In the old days (when this type of driving was very new) it was called "the scandinavian flick" because of Finnish drivers dominating in snow (i believe) and they used that 'flick' to get much better times compared to inexperienced drivers. Since then most top end drivers use the same principle on all surfaces and it pushed rally driving even more to the limit.
@@xxdeserthunterxx2819 Although everyone everywhere expect in nor, swe and fin call us scandinavians. Finns have way more prestigious rallying pedigree, so I'd wager it was the Finns.
@@Pyllymysli sure finns are in general the best but you are forgetting that Swedes dominated the snow events back in the day and I think that's where it comes from originally, might be wrong tho
@@xxdeserthunterxx2819 I can't really confirm that since I can't be arsed to look for results from god knows how long ago, but you are aware that Finland has plenty of snow events of it's own? : ) I.e one of the more famous one, excluding swedish WRC event, Arctic Rally Lapland.
@@Pyllymysli yes I am aware but Sweden used to have a lot more drivers back in the day so around the 60s to late 80s I think it was quite equal between Finland and Sweden
3:07 The term you are looking for is "The Scandinavian Flick." Under braking, turn the car towards the outside of the corner, then come off the brakes, on the power, and steer hard into the corner. As the ass end scoots around because of the inertia of the rear end wanting to go forward, balance it on the throttle and opposite steering and continue on after the corner
No practice run but they have a copilot who directs them. The copilot is driven once through the track and he has to make notes of everything. Bumps, thightning, left or right, lenght of curve, dips, water hazards, gates, and he needs to make sure he informs the driver which speed he can use at all times.
The drivers don't see the route, they might remember parts of it from previous rallies they have been in. The co-driver gets driven the course once and he makes notes on it. Then in the timed run he is reading the corners and obstacles to the driver. He usually reads them a few corners ahead of where they are
Do not appologise. Those Videos are there to watch no matter what happens it is not your fault. Nor do you need to appologise for watching something you do not know.
Having the car setup done so that it lifts the wheel on the inside corner is done to reduce understeer and get some oversteer/rotation into the car. Its mostly done with AWD and FWD cars where most of the weight is on the front axle.
You drive the track once with normal speed so your co driver can make notes, he reads those notes in the race to you, thats it. 100% commitement, 100% trust and 1000% big balls
The swing left before a sharp right, is called a "weight-transfer"- Most commonly used in drifting aswell. Or as Rally people like to call it "Scandinavian flick".
They usually drive the stages a couple of times to make their pace-notes. 1 time slow measuring straights and checking for obstacles in and outside of the turns and the tightness of the turns. Later they drive the stage again at maybe 50% capacity and adjust the pace-notes if needed. And last training race they driver at maybe 80-85% capacity and checking the pace-notes accuracy once again and on raceday it's flat out.
A Finn here, don't know the stats on moose collisions, but I've collided with a moose personally. 80kph speed limit, icy road, had time to brake down to 60kph before collision. I was not injured, the moose died or was so seriously injured it had to be put down there. The car was in no condition to be repaired. Basically any and all traffic accidents and consequences boil down to speed. With higher speeds it could have certainly come through the windshield, but luckily even the old Focus I had didn't buckle under that hit.
8:05 When they turn left and then right or right and then left depending on the turn obv, its called a Inertia Drift. Inertia Drift helps keep the momentum of the car continue through the turn and also creates an easier angle to drift through the turn where the car is in a perfect position to accelerate away. Sometimes drivers dont really do it depending on there preference (also depends on their experience and skill set) or it is very miniscule that you can barely spot it, but generally its used on hard hairpin turns. Yes u can inertia drift on like 90 degree turns but its generally very effective on hairpin turns. Generally its just used to get into a corner and get out of the corner as fast as possible which keeps the momentum going.
The rally is usually preceeded by a 'shakedown' were the driver and Co driver derive there pace notes to race the stage later. Check out rally pace notes, it's like another language lol.
You mentioned a car spinning out , stopping and then taking off again...... It is possible the driver braked too late and pulled off a brilliant save, but I think it was all deliberate. Looked like he backed the car in with massive wheel spin then as the car re balanced he was perfectly lined up to accelerate away....... these are rally drivers. Their skills are off the planet. Even the good local club drivers can do this stuff, but in slower cars and at much slower approach speeds. lol
according to a comment from, MR.M on Jimmy Broadbent`s reaction video on "This is rally 1". MR.M wrote "I can tell you that every crashes you'll find on my channel does not have serious consequences neither fatalities" so you don't need to worry about that on any of MR.M videos.
In rallying crashes are quita safe now, Markko Märtin's co-driver Michael Park's death at the 2005 Wales Rally GB was the WRC's first fatality in over eleven years.
A car sliding/swinging it's rear into the entry of a corner under braking is called a drift. A car accelerating and going sideways under power through the apex and out the corner is called a powerslide. The flicking move to help swing the rear round and rotate into the corner (initiate a drift and kickstart the powerslide) is called a Scandinavian flick.
8:15 depends on how sharp the turn is. If you "scandi flick" into a corner and pull on the handbrake, you can turn 180 on a dime (or around a lamp post); but if the turn isn't quite that sharp, a simple yank of the hand brake, plus the right amount of throttle, will do the trick.
First adressing the accidents, in cars the ones that are actually very dangerous are the ones that make the car come to a sudden stop or that have objects making it inside the cockpit, the ones where the car is sent spinning or in a crazy barrel roll are sure more spectacular, but are "safer" because the car gets to bleed all that momentum not as drastically. That being said dont worry man, the racing community has done its homework and unless you see 'fatal' on the title the 99.9999% of accidents are not fatal or even close. Car safety on cars taking part FIA sanctioned events is unbelievable, its very, very hard to die in any crash, so dont worry 💪. Question 1 (On the way the drivers throw the car around): Its called the "Scandinavian flick" and its a way to loosen the stability of the car making it way easier for the weight to be transfered towards the inside of the corner. The reason behind some cars doing it and some not lays first in the surface, as its way more effective on gravel, snow, dirt... than on tarmac, as the car can slide easier, helping thus transfering the weight. Other factors behind its use are the weight distribution of the car and aero, as on front heavy cars you actually need to throw the car hard to make some corners and the lack of aero obviously makes harder to make corners faster. This is why with the newer cars is hardly ever seen, as the weight is way better distributed and the aero makes the car grip WAY better and also helps in the weight distribution often pushing harder the rear of the car. Other less important factors are what wheels are driven on the car and the height of the center of mass. Question 2 (On the knowledge the teams have on the track): Before each event the teams do testing in stages with often the same surface and environment of the ones of the actual event, doing this very close to the where the event ones are most of the time. Then theres the "RECCE". This is the reconnaissance of the actual stages where they make their pace notes. This is made in a road car at normal road mandated speeds, recce cars are something of themselves too (give it a look). BUT THIS IS NOT A GIVEN. Some events wont allow the stages to be driven before the event and will instead hand "official" pace notes or routebooks to the teams, so in some cases they dont actually know how really is the stage ahead and drive almost blind.
The reason the scandi flick is not always used is because it depends on the road surface, the severity of the bend and what kind of drive train you have, ie front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. No part of the course is the same so a different approach to every situation is necessary.
No racing before hand but they get to drive it and navigator makes pace notes and then reads them back diuring special stages, Eg, slow 5 right opens, or 3 left over crest. you have to watch in car video.
It take a lot to admit to mistakes and that can make you stronger in character and you then start making fewer and we ALL make mistakes,i know i have .
4:37 well, he doesn't know, since he has a navigator (Co-driver), who reports the track schedule to him. And 7:54 Because they need to do the drift, and the best way to do it is to turn slightly to the opposite side, and turn sharply in the direction of the turn, so you do an immediate fast drift.
The last rally fatality was in 2005. The previous death was 11 years before that. Although a lot of crashes seem pretty spectacular the safety cell on these cars is incredibly strong and most get away with minor scrapes and a bad headache. You can't be blamed for what comes up on the videos mate. It shows that you are an honest reactor and it's the first time you've watched it.
06:57 they use manual gear box and put before turne clutch dowm and lower gera in.then they turn opsite sid of turn wheels and then curve side with using handbreak ..after they get "nose" tocurve side direction they realese clutsh and drive with lower ( second ) gear forvard . "Simply like that "
I saw an interview with two sisters from Yorkshire who were a rally driver/ navigator team . They described how they went of the side of a mountain at 100mph and landed upside down in a deep lake . They then both kicked out the windscreen and swam to the surface .
So the drivers have pace notes, they're read by the Co driver, they tell him the length of the straight then the direction of the corner and how tight it is, usually with a numbered system, so 100, =100 meters then 5 left the direction and severity, most drivers go over the road and make the notes but organisers will supply notes if needed, try finding some in car clips and you'll here the notes
I can see you were impressed by one of the power slides, have a look at some videos by Fleming Alm with his tuned Audis from a few years back, that is impressive, trust me on that one!
The car has two drivers. One is driving and the other is reading the route. Yes, they practice special exams in advance. Still, there are a lot of things to change. Like a deer on the route.
It’s probably already been said, but you do a VERY quick full turn to one side and then hold to the other side in order to lose traction. It’s a part of drifting. If you have a car that has traction control? Turn it off and try it yourself. I’ve scared quite a few passengers doing that in my car lol.
Regarding your moose question, it depends a lot on the accident in question like how the moose is hit, at what speed, wether it comes through the windscreen and so on, there is no set rule on that one.
Full grown moose is about thousand pounds, it can literally rip a roof off from the car. seen that with my own eyes. Btw yes everyone was okay after the crashes, dont worry about those.
I stand corrected; You were right. "The largest member of the deer family, adult male (bull) moose average 6 feet tall at the shoulder and can weigh as much as 1,400 pounds"
Did you say you are in RI? There is a rally in Maine every summer I compete in.. it’s called the New England Forest Rally. It is taking place July 15 and 16 this year! Come spectate some stage and say hello! Look for car 149 at parc expose.
11:51 Most rally events have regulations, so all cars are fitted with full roll cages and 6 point seatbelts. Im pretty sure after in the last 10 years rallying has been the safest its ever been.
The passenger or co driver as they're called will have pace notes that will inform the driver of what is ahead say a turning in the road the co driver will tell them in code how tight it is what direction etc and what's next and usually the co driver can't see much as he or she is lower down to help with the balance of the car........ @12:48 you can hear what I mean the co driver is giving the driver information about the track ahead
You have to understand that in rallies more spectators than drivers die, which is very rare. The images you see are very different, there are regional rallies and WR rallies, when you see the WRC drivers you are literally seeing the best drivers in the world, only in parallel with F1.
No theyre better than F1 drivers. Since rally cars dont have all that junk like traction control, abs, being able to retune the engine/ damper setup/ per corner or straight by remote from the pit. Rally cars are just a DRIVER and CoPilot (map reader) and a powerful rally car all the skils are the driver like Breaking not locking up and locking up when needed, keep traction at the max for grip, angle the car into corners and out of corners, accelerate onto the straights, avoid hazards on road its only controlled by the driver.. No computer aided stuff. F1 are basically overpaid chauffeurs when compared to rally drivers. I still miss Group B, Now THAT was unearthly driving skils! It is what it is.
And a lot of the slides and recoveries you see (like that one at 9:30 ) are because the cars are quite light, and all-wheel drive. You're right, though..it's pretty to watch. Especially the one at 9:30. Hyundai's getting into WRC in a big way, the US isn't the only place where people only remember their poorly made cars from the '80s. "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday..", right?😃
ey. at least you amitted that you effed up. and apollegized about that. thats commendable and a lot more than many big YTers are ready to do when they screw up. as long as you dont do that again. your good in my book
That smooth drift you saw into the corner was awesome. If you haven't seen it, Ken Block does all those types of moves in really high quality videos called "Gymkhana". Whilst Ken's videos might be prepared/planned and even shot in many takes, it's still all that sort of car control. Massive production videos shot in city centres and famous locations and what not too.
DAMN i love incar shots when you hear the driver shifting gears and there's NO hesitation from the engine, it just keeps on pulling quite highrevving.... that may be the true definiton of sex
Before each stage starts, you get to run the full track and the co driver takes notes of the track. Then there's the SHOWDOWN STAGE, when u get to test it. After that the main rally starts. Also modern-day Rally cars don't spin out cuz its all FWD.
4:50 You can actually see there are two guys in rally cars... Basically, a pilot and a navigator, to use the airforce terminology... The guy riding shotgun usually has a map and you can see, even in these clips, him giving directions both by voice and hand to the driver... Meanwhile in the USA, Americans keep driving in perfect circles, round and round... A lot of skill required there... lol
Dont worry about the crashes and danger etc..... it is Motorsport. All the drivers and their families know the dangers. All these drivers and most of their families do NOT want the competition red flagged, black flagged or stopped because they died. They know the risk and accept it...... or they retire.
I recommend to check out "'Best of Rally Legend'', it's the best moments from a rally in San Marino(Italy) where you can find the best and legendary cars racing together.
As for the moose debate. In Sweden, since they're common here, so are accidents with them. If you live outside the metropolitan areas, which is pretty much all of Sweden, moose, deer, rabbits and badgers are frequently seen being roadkill. Badgers are real shitty to hit, they're small but compact and do much more damage than their size give them credit for. As for the moose I've been thought that if you're about to smash into a moose, aim for their back legs. The thing with that is to lessen the risk of getting the mosse rubbing into your windscreen and hopeful it will slide of the car instead. If you hit the front legs you're basically risking geting all of the weight and kinetic energy through your windscreen.
Rally cars are built to survive crashes and protect the driver and their co, deaths do happen but not in any of these clips, and if relatively rare these days I'd recommend watching some Colin McRae he was pretty infamous for crashing, (he died in a helicopter crash in 2007 unfortunately)
It depends on the car, but you may be wondering if a male deer weighs 600kg so there will be a hit, there are a lot of deer in Finland and I have once avoided the rear and it is the safest way, but we also have deer on the biggest roads. Scandinavian flick is the technique you should learn if you run into a situation. There is a map reader in the rally, they go through the road and write notes about it and don't really know those roads by heart, it would be impossible to know every special test by heart, that is, go by the notes, which makes the rally different from other classes.
The reason they don't spin out when you expect them to is because they have the proper suspension setup for the job. That one time I drove an American car I noticed how absolutely terrible the suspension is, way too soft and unstable. I was scared to even do 100 km/h in it, meanwhile, european suspensions are more firm and controllable.
Dont worry too much about the Isle of Man videos, bro. The video is gone now so no more worries! We like to keep that stuff on the low, especially for the families who are going through the losses currently.
thanks Matty. As I said to frezzn, it still was wrong on my part to choose that sort of video. And the timing made it even worse. Thanks again for understanding guys.
Rally is not like TT anymore. They have good safety standards in modern rally cars. With group B videos you never know, because someone usually died almost each rally, but with modern ones they are usually fine even after scary looking crashes.
7:00 - that'd be a mixture of incredible stupidity and alcohol, I expect. For the most part, injuries are rare, and fatal injuries are very rare - the most spectacular crashes where the car rolls with bits flying off it are not usually a problem, as the energy is dissipated over several seconds - it's the sudden stops that actually hurt. If you check the safety requirements for the cars you'll understand better. Not sure which TT video you reacted to, but the one with the chap rag-dolling through the air, having come off on the mountain, has him returning th next year and he's actually interviewed in the video. I can't see a problem with it. However, the race week averages around 4 killed racing, with more injured - so perhaps if it was one that was more graphic and had an actual death there may be justification in pulling it.
2:10 I’ve had a couple friends unfortunately hitting wild boars with their cars, they re much smaller than moose but can still make a lot of damage, like salvaged vehicles type of damage so I can’t even imagine what a moose would do
The biggest danger with hitting Moose is that their legs, stand at just the right height, so that you hit them, and they fall full body weight into the windshield, and could easily kill you
An adult moose would crush your car and you wouldn't survive the hit on the highway and in a Rally car there is the Driver that drives the car at the maximum of their level, and the co pilot that will tell the driver at what gear he will take a turn and in what direction the turn is, so if he comes in 6th gear on a straight, and the co pilot will tell 2L, then the driver will have to slow down, move down to 2nd gear and then take the left turn
Dude the isle of men guys know the risk. Its their problem, not yours. More then one per event dies statistically. So yeah participating there takes the right to complain afterwards in my opinion. Also the longer they roll the less likely they are insured as the force of stopping them is lesser.
The 'Scandinavian flick' is used to deliberately break rear wheel traction and creates a pendulum effect to swing the rear of the car into the desired direction (in short).
What i tried to say but you did it better ^^ EDIT: tried! i can't spell tried either it seems.
Which basically allows the driver to carry more speed through the corner.
Yes, basically it's to kill understeer and promote the more easily controlled oversteer.
Yes, they make a mass transfer from the car to the front which makes the rear lighter and allows the car to slide.
In France, we call it "l'appel; contre-appel".
@@gerardmanvu3147 That you can do just by braking. In scandinavian flick you do two weight transfers (note: mass doesn't transfer except when for example person eats or takes a dump). First smaller one happens when you turn car away from corner. Second, bigger, weight transfer happens when you suddenly turn to opposite direction, in to corner.
The rotating Porsche in the last part did everything right...it was the finish line.
As already mentioned the drivers and co-drivers recce the stages before the event in a normal road car at normal legal speeds and make notes of the corners etc. - these are called pacenotes which the co-driver reads back to the driver on the actual event. The impressive part at 9.03 was New Zealand driver Hayden Paddon in a Hyundai World Rally car. Hayden has a YT video on how he and his co-driver make their pacenotes - ua-cam.com/video/lIZkGnLcBzI/v-deo.html
No they dont
@@GABBO01 Yes they do...
I am French and passionate about rally and I know the wrc very well.
They don't necessarily know the routes by heart.
As @Frank Love says, they drive the roads before the race at normal speed and in normal cars...

@@GABBO01 You don't know what you're talking about. Quit while you're ahead.
The noise at about 8:43 is the induction side of the turbo on that Sport Quattro S1. Turbos weren't as good back then, as you might expect, so they can be a bit louder than modern examples when doing the same job. All of the modern era cars are turbo'd too and produce a greater pressure ratio but they're designed and machined much better so you don't hear it as much.
They're rotating at over 100,000 RPM so the sound is air being sucked into the compressor housing at high velocity.
The biggest difference between this and Isle Of Man TT...the roll cage.
The driver have not had practice runs unless they have raced the track before but the co-driver has instructions so he is saying "sharp left", "long right", "hump and turn left", etc so it's a two man sport.
I believe everything from the This is Rally series you have been watching is all UA-cam friendly! No nasty crashes
"In the WRC races held since 1972, 19 racers, including 7 pilots and 12 co-pilots, have lost their lives in rally accidents. While a great number of serious accidents have taken place since 2006, no fatal accidents have been reported in the WRC".
i was gonna say most of the clips are fairly recent so nobody died lol. Discord really spooked him huh
2:41 Answer to your question: Yes. If you hit moose with a car, you hit it legs and it fall to its side and momentum makes it to move back first (it strongest part first) towards windshield. If it comes thru windshield, you are done.
Moose can survive from crash, but it can't (most of time) move any more, because it legs are all/some broken = it can't move anymore and dies painfully. That's why (if moose have managed to leave from crash site), at least here in Finland, after the crash, police make request to local hunting group to find that moose.
When hunters finds that moose they evaluate it's change to live and heal, if it look's like that it's not on condition to find food and defend it self, they kill it.
If moose is still on crash site, we have in here Finland some police's specially trained (most of them are allready hunter's) to do same thing what hunting group would do, evaluate it's change to live and if it does't have change, they kill it on site with service pistol (9mm) if they can get close enough.
Rallydrivers these days are very safe in their cars, the FIA make sure of that, the last fatality in WRC was in 2006
To me it's a stunning feat of engineering what these cars can go through without it being that dangerous for the driver pair. Some nasty looking ones in recent years where nothing serious happened. Rallying is ofc dangerous, you'd be a fool to think otherwise, but the cars can go through so much now. Sadly still quite recently drivers and co-drivers have been killed in crashes but these have happened outside WRC in more local racing series'.
@@Pyllymysli That's how rally is still around, even with modern cars outpacing the old GrB legends
4:45 They don't memorize the track beforehand. That's why they have a co-pilot with them. The co-pilot's job is to navigate, commonly by reading off a set of pacenotes to the driver (what lies ahead, where to turn, the severity of the turn, and what obstacles to look out for).
Exactly and they have like code language. 150 dip, 100 jump and they rate corners so the driver knows what speed/gear he needs. The co-driver is reading this to assist the driver. But they do recon before the race.
@@Mart687 I was trying to be a co driver back in the 80 s but i wasent reading fast enough and that was in the 80s today we should have chrashed in first corner ! But from my town we had a really good man making notes for many big rallies and drivers !!
5:41 this is honestly one of the best displays of car control that a rally driver has... a FWD car with the back end skipping and bouncing around, and on that first big bounce, before the tires are even at the apogee of the bounce, the driver has already dialed in the correct amount of opposite lock to bring it back in line, and continues to finesse it down the road as it keeps bouncing. That is driving on the ABSOLUTE limit, 10/10ths, 110% focus.
I am willing to bet that if there was a cockpit camera, the driver would not be blinking, his mouth hanging wide open, because that is a very common thing to see with rally drivers as they are using every single neuron not needed for life support in their brains to focus, so much so that they even take the processes to hold your jaw muscles taut and your mouth closed (an unconscious thing for 99.99% of us).
Don't get worried about the Mr.M's videos, everyone involved there are fine. Even his crash compilations are, no fatal crashes inside, and no serious injuries. At least for now, I've never seen any, and I really appreciate it.
And thanks for your cool reactions, I always enjoy them!
No practice allowed. They can drive the route at low speed to make written notes, but no practice speed runs.
The track knowledge is actually from the notes of the codriver. usually you go slow to take notes for the course beforehand.
to answer your question re stage knowledge, they will do the stages in whats called the recce where the co driver will compile detailed notes as dictated by the driver, it's only after several years of experience that some drivers can run a stage almost by memory (Mark Higgins at castle Douglas many years ago
Love watching people watch rally stuff for the first time, with the whole fatal crashes thing, unfortunately, you'll likely see a few due to the nature of the sport (especially group B stuff), but most of the time the real bad-looking ones where they roll a ton, those are actually the more survivable ones since the rolls are slowly taking energy out of the crash instead of coming to a sudden stop, that's why they have cages, harnesses and HANS devices.
8:41 that "noise" is a monstrous turbo that the Sport Quattro S1 was fitted with, that pushed the normally 210-ish HP inline-five, after it had been built up for racing, to 510+ HP. As the turbos of the day didn't have blow-off valves to release pressure, the design of the Triple-K turbo that the Sport Quattro S1 used was ingenious in that it used a recirculating pressure circuit, meaning that any excess pressure buildup in the intake plenum, instead of becoming "dead air," pushed through a one way valve, up a hose, and blew into the compressor stage of the turbo via another one way valve. This helped spin the compressor harder, and was the very first instance of an anti-lag system.
The other famous sound of the S1 is the "pshooshooshoo" sound when the driver suddenly comes off power, which is the charged air, having nowhere else to go because blow-off valves, as mentioned, didn't exist yet, fires back up the charge pipe to the compressor and, as the blades of the compressor "rip" the charged air apart, it breaks the sound barrier multiple times a second. This both sounds awesome, was extremely tough on the compressor blades of the turbo, and also kept a small bit of charged air in the charge pipe, meaning when the driver floored it, power was nearly instant, which is why the S1 could accelerate so brutally fast out of corners.
4:37
As far as I know, they get to drive a regular car on the track first, so the co-driver can write down the actual pace notes they use later on in the race event.
That's how it was in the 90s-2000s, so I might be wrong
8:41
Also that sound was the actual intake for the turbo in that car. The Audi Quattro S1. It's considered to have one of the most iconic sound of the intake and blowoff in rally sport.
They are indeed doing recce with regular cars, following all the normal traffic rules. Driver tells the note and co-driver writes it down. My understanding is that they use videos too to double check the notes, at least one of the Finnish co-drivers told that in an interview few years ago.
To add to that do they Shakedowns, or warmup runs before the actual race
@@Mooxz Shakedown is just another stage before the actual race. They don't do warmup runs on actual stages
The Sport Quattro S1 didn't have a blowoff valve, it had a recirculation circuit with one way valves, and that "pshooshooshoo" sound when the drivers lift suddenly off throttle is actually the charged air firing back up the charge pipe into the compressor blades, causing hundreds of mild compressor stalls as it breaks the sound barrier while being ripped apart.
@@vagabond142 that's freaking crazy
I'm a pretty seasoned rally fan myself, but I gotta be honest: I had that EXACT same reaction the first time I saw that Hyundai drift turn at 9:03
Absolutely insane.
He'd already gone around the corner before he even got to it.
Answer to: how they know stages, Co-driver goes through all stages and makes pacenotes so he can read them to the driver off course, co-driver has to know the stage very well
In the old days (when this type of driving was very new) it was called "the scandinavian flick" because of Finnish drivers dominating in snow (i believe) and they used that 'flick' to get much better times compared to inexperienced drivers. Since then most top end drivers use the same principle on all surfaces and it pushed rally driving even more to the limit.
It was most likely the swedes since fins are not Scandinavian
@@xxdeserthunterxx2819 Although everyone everywhere expect in nor, swe and fin call us scandinavians. Finns have way more prestigious rallying pedigree, so I'd wager it was the Finns.
@@Pyllymysli sure finns are in general the best but you are forgetting that Swedes dominated the snow events back in the day and I think that's where it comes from originally, might be wrong tho
@@xxdeserthunterxx2819 I can't really confirm that since I can't be arsed to look for results from god knows how long ago, but you are aware that Finland has plenty of snow events of it's own? : )
I.e one of the more famous one, excluding swedish WRC event, Arctic Rally Lapland.
@@Pyllymysli yes I am aware but Sweden used to have a lot more drivers back in the day so around the 60s to late 80s I think it was quite equal between Finland and Sweden
3:07 The term you are looking for is "The Scandinavian Flick." Under braking, turn the car towards the outside of the corner, then come off the brakes, on the power, and steer hard into the corner. As the ass end scoots around because of the inertia of the rear end wanting to go forward, balance it on the throttle and opposite steering and continue on after the corner
No practice run but they have a copilot who directs them.
The copilot is driven once through the track and he has to make notes of everything.
Bumps, thightning, left or right, lenght of curve, dips, water hazards, gates, and he needs to make sure he informs the driver which speed he can use at all times.
The drivers don't see the route, they might remember parts of it from previous rallies they have been in. The co-driver gets driven the course once and he makes notes on it. Then in the timed run he is reading the corners and obstacles to the driver. He usually reads them a few corners ahead of where they are
Do not appologise. Those Videos are there to watch no matter what happens it is not your fault. Nor do you need to appologise for watching something you do not know.
Having the car setup done so that it lifts the wheel on the inside corner is done to reduce understeer and get some oversteer/rotation into the car. Its mostly done with AWD and FWD cars where most of the weight is on the front axle.
You drive the track once with normal speed so your co driver can make notes, he reads those notes in the race to you, thats it.
100% commitement, 100% trust and 1000% big balls
The swing left before a sharp right, is called a "weight-transfer"- Most commonly used in drifting aswell. Or as Rally people like to call it "Scandinavian flick".
They usually drive the stages a couple of times to make their pace-notes. 1 time slow measuring straights and checking for obstacles in and outside of the turns and the tightness of the turns. Later they drive the stage again at maybe 50% capacity and adjust the pace-notes if needed. And last training race they driver at maybe 80-85% capacity and checking the pace-notes accuracy once again and on raceday it's flat out.
A Finn here, don't know the stats on moose collisions, but I've collided with a moose personally. 80kph speed limit, icy road, had time to brake down to 60kph before collision. I was not injured, the moose died or was so seriously injured it had to be put down there. The car was in no condition to be repaired. Basically any and all traffic accidents and consequences boil down to speed. With higher speeds it could have certainly come through the windshield, but luckily even the old Focus I had didn't buckle under that hit.
8:05 When they turn left and then right or right and then left depending on the turn obv, its called a Inertia Drift. Inertia Drift helps keep the momentum of the car continue through the turn and also creates an easier angle to drift through the turn where the car is in a perfect position to accelerate away. Sometimes drivers dont really do it depending on there preference (also depends on their experience and skill set) or it is very miniscule that you can barely spot it, but generally its used on hard hairpin turns. Yes u can inertia drift on like 90 degree turns but its generally very effective on hairpin turns. Generally its just used to get into a corner and get out of the corner as fast as possible which keeps the momentum going.
The rally is usually preceeded by a 'shakedown' were the driver and Co driver derive there pace notes to race the stage later. Check out rally pace notes, it's like another language lol.
You mentioned a car spinning out , stopping and then taking off again......
It is possible the driver braked too late and pulled off a brilliant save, but I think it was all deliberate.
Looked like he backed the car in with massive wheel spin then as the car re balanced he was perfectly lined up to accelerate away....... these are rally drivers.
Their skills are off the planet.
Even the good local club drivers can do this stuff, but in slower cars and at much slower approach speeds. lol
according to a comment from, MR.M on Jimmy Broadbent`s reaction video on "This is rally 1". MR.M wrote "I can tell you that every crashes you'll find on my channel does not have serious consequences neither fatalities"
so you don't need to worry about that on any of MR.M videos.
In rallying crashes are quita safe now, Markko Märtin's co-driver Michael Park's death at the 2005 Wales Rally GB was the WRC's first fatality in over eleven years.
9:29 the fastest way out of a corner is to have already turned it by the time you get to it 😁
A car sliding/swinging it's rear into the entry of a corner under braking is called a drift. A car accelerating and going sideways under power through the apex and out the corner is called a powerslide.
The flicking move to help swing the rear round and rotate into the corner (initiate a drift and kickstart the powerslide) is called a Scandinavian flick.
8:15 depends on how sharp the turn is. If you "scandi flick" into a corner and pull on the handbrake, you can turn 180 on a dime (or around a lamp post); but if the turn isn't quite that sharp, a simple yank of the hand brake, plus the right amount of throttle, will do the trick.
In rallies they have a navigator who read out the track ahead from a map
First adressing the accidents, in cars the ones that are actually very dangerous are the ones that make the car come to a sudden stop or that have objects making it inside the cockpit, the ones where the car is sent spinning or in a crazy barrel roll are sure more spectacular, but are "safer" because the car gets to bleed all that momentum not as drastically. That being said dont worry man, the racing community has done its homework and unless you see 'fatal' on the title the 99.9999% of accidents are not fatal or even close. Car safety on cars taking part FIA sanctioned events is unbelievable, its very, very hard to die in any crash, so dont worry 💪.
Question 1 (On the way the drivers throw the car around): Its called the "Scandinavian flick" and its a way to loosen the stability of the car making it way easier for the weight to be transfered towards the inside of the corner.
The reason behind some cars doing it and some not lays first in the surface, as its way more effective on gravel, snow, dirt... than on tarmac, as the car can slide easier, helping thus transfering the weight. Other factors behind its use are the weight distribution of the car and aero, as on front heavy cars you actually need to throw the car hard to make some corners and the lack of aero obviously makes harder to make corners faster. This is why with the newer cars is hardly ever seen, as the weight is way better distributed and the aero makes the car grip WAY better and also helps in the weight distribution often pushing harder the rear of the car. Other less important factors are what wheels are driven on the car and the height of the center of mass.
Question 2 (On the knowledge the teams have on the track): Before each event the teams do testing in stages with often the same surface and environment of the ones of the actual event, doing this very close to the where the event ones are most of the time. Then theres the "RECCE". This is the reconnaissance of the actual stages where they make their pace notes. This is made in a road car at normal road mandated speeds, recce cars are something of themselves too (give it a look). BUT THIS IS NOT A GIVEN. Some events wont allow the stages to be driven before the event and will instead hand "official" pace notes or routebooks to the teams, so in some cases they dont actually know how really is the stage ahead and drive almost blind.
The reason the scandi flick is not always used is because it depends on the road surface, the severity of the bend and what kind of drive train you have, ie front wheel drive, rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. No part of the course is the same so a different approach to every situation is necessary.
Nice to see a Lancia Delta. One of the best rally cars ever.
No racing before hand but they get to drive it and navigator makes pace notes and then reads them back diuring special stages, Eg, slow 5 right opens, or 3 left over crest. you have to watch in car video.
It take a lot to admit to mistakes and that can make you stronger in character and you then start making fewer and we ALL make mistakes,i know i have .
4:37 well, he doesn't know, since he has a navigator (Co-driver), who reports the track schedule to him. And 7:54 Because they need to do the drift, and the best way to do it is to turn slightly to the opposite side, and turn sharply in the direction of the turn, so you do an immediate fast drift.
practice in a away they can run the course to take there pace notes which is what they use to drive the section
This is an extremely intense sport. Death is a part of it. Many thanks for your input!
Scandinavian flick
The last rally fatality was in 2005. The previous death was 11 years before that. Although a lot of crashes seem pretty spectacular the safety cell on these cars is incredibly strong and most get away with minor scrapes and a bad headache. You can't be blamed for what comes up on the videos mate. It shows that you are an honest reactor and it's the first time you've watched it.
06:57 they use manual gear box and put before turne clutch dowm and lower gera in.then they turn opsite sid of turn wheels and then curve side with using handbreak ..after they get "nose" tocurve side direction they realese clutsh and drive with lower ( second ) gear forvard . "Simply like that "
That last one was actually over the finishing line.
I saw an interview with two sisters from Yorkshire who were a rally driver/ navigator team . They described how they went of the side of a mountain at 100mph and landed upside down in a deep lake . They then both kicked out the windscreen and swam to the surface .
omg link pls
Louise Aitken Walker?
So the drivers have pace notes, they're read by the Co driver, they tell him the length of the straight then the direction of the corner and how tight it is, usually with a numbered system, so 100, =100 meters then 5 left the direction and severity, most drivers go over the road and make the notes but organisers will supply notes if needed, try finding some in car clips and you'll here the notes
I can see you were impressed by one of the power slides, have a look at some videos by Fleming Alm with his tuned Audis from a few years back, that is impressive, trust me on that one!
The car has two drivers. One is driving and the other is reading the route. Yes, they practice special exams in advance. Still, there are a lot of things to change. Like a deer on the route.
It’s probably already been said, but you do a VERY quick full turn to one side and then hold to the other side in order to lose traction. It’s a part of drifting. If you have a car that has traction control? Turn it off and try it yourself. I’ve scared quite a few passengers doing that in my car lol.
Regarding your moose question, it depends a lot on the accident in question like how the moose is hit, at what speed, wether it comes through the windscreen and so on, there is no set rule on that one.
Full grown moose is about thousand pounds, it can literally rip a roof off from the car. seen that with my own eyes. Btw yes everyone was okay after the crashes, dont worry about those.
idk about a thousand pounds..
I stand corrected; You were right.
"The largest member of the deer family, adult male (bull) moose average 6 feet tall at the shoulder and can weigh as much as 1,400 pounds"
@@McJibbin Yeah, you don't fuck with moose. Absolute units.
Did you say you are in RI? There is a rally in Maine every summer I compete in.. it’s called the New England Forest Rally. It is taking place July 15 and 16 this year! Come spectate some stage and say hello! Look for car 149 at parc expose.
11:51 Most rally events have regulations, so all cars are fitted with full roll cages and 6 point seatbelts. Im pretty sure after in the last 10 years rallying has been the safest its ever been.
They don't practice the track. They have a co-driver who reads the schedule.
The passenger or co driver as they're called will have pace notes that will inform the driver of what is ahead say a turning in the road the co driver will tell them in code how tight it is what direction etc and what's next and usually the co driver can't see much as he or she is lower down to help with the balance of the car........ @12:48 you can hear what I mean the co driver is giving the driver information about the track ahead
You have to understand that in rallies more spectators than drivers die, which is very rare. The images you see are very different, there are regional rallies and WR rallies, when you see the WRC drivers you are literally seeing the best drivers in the world, only in parallel with F1.
No theyre better than F1 drivers.
Since rally cars dont have all that junk like traction control, abs, being able to retune the engine/ damper setup/ per corner or straight by remote from the pit.
Rally cars are just a DRIVER and CoPilot (map reader) and a powerful rally car all the skils are the driver like Breaking not locking up and locking up when needed, keep traction at the max for grip, angle the car into corners and out of corners, accelerate onto the straights, avoid hazards on road its only controlled by the driver..
No computer aided stuff.
F1 are basically overpaid chauffeurs when compared to rally drivers.
I still miss Group B, Now THAT was unearthly driving skils!
It is what it is.
And a lot of the slides and recoveries you see (like that one at 9:30 ) are because the cars are quite light, and all-wheel drive. You're right, though..it's pretty to watch. Especially the one at 9:30. Hyundai's getting into WRC in a big way, the US isn't the only place where people only remember their poorly made cars from the '80s. "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday..", right?😃
ey. at least you amitted that you effed up. and apollegized about that. thats commendable and a lot more than many big YTers are ready to do when they screw up. as long as you dont do that again. your good in my book
The co pilot gives indications during the stages.find some onboard videos you'll understand
They all know the risks mate, we all do, they do it cos they love it, don’t apologise fella, it is what it is as sad as it is, mate that’s life
That smooth drift you saw into the corner was awesome. If you haven't seen it, Ken Block does all those types of moves in really high quality videos called "Gymkhana". Whilst Ken's videos might be prepared/planned and even shot in many takes, it's still all that sort of car control. Massive production videos shot in city centres and famous locations and what not too.
therefore the driver has a pilot who tells what turn is behind the turn ^^
They do not know the track, or most of it. That's why the Co Driver is this important. And why the speeds are so insane.
In Sweden, we have about 5000 moose related traffic accidents each year. With 5-10 deaths/year and 50-90 severely injured/year.
DAMN i love incar shots when you hear the driver shifting gears and there's NO hesitation from the engine, it just
keeps on pulling quite highrevving.... that may be the true definiton of sex
Before each stage starts, you get to run the full track and the co driver takes notes of the track. Then there's the SHOWDOWN STAGE, when u get to test it. After that the main rally starts.
Also modern-day Rally cars don't spin out cuz its all FWD.
8.42 - What is that noise? Audi Quattro with a turbo 5 cylinder. Very distinctive sound
4:50 You can actually see there are two guys in rally cars... Basically, a pilot and a navigator, to use the airforce terminology... The guy riding shotgun usually has a map and you can see, even in these clips, him giving directions both by voice and hand to the driver...
Meanwhile in the USA, Americans keep driving in perfect circles, round and round... A lot of skill required there... lol
Just to say, to my knowledge, the "This is Rally" series doesn't contain any fatal crashes.
I don't think Mr M posts a lot of videos you should be too worried about... If he does it's very rare.
isle of man videos are also ok... but u know timing is key
Dont worry about the crashes and danger etc..... it is Motorsport.
All the drivers and their families know the dangers.
All these drivers and most of their families do NOT want the competition red flagged, black flagged or stopped because they died.
They know the risk and accept it...... or they retire.
I recommend to check out "'Best of Rally Legend'', it's the best moments from a rally in San Marino(Italy) where you can find the best and legendary cars racing together.
As for the moose debate. In Sweden, since they're common here, so are accidents with them. If you live outside the metropolitan areas, which is pretty much all of Sweden, moose, deer, rabbits and badgers are frequently seen being roadkill.
Badgers are real shitty to hit, they're small but compact and do much more damage than their size give them credit for.
As for the moose I've been thought that if you're about to smash into a moose, aim for their back legs. The thing with that is to lessen the risk of getting the mosse rubbing into your windscreen and hopeful it will slide of the car instead. If you hit the front legs you're basically risking geting all of the weight and kinetic energy through your windscreen.
Rally cars are built to survive crashes and protect the driver and their co, deaths do happen but not in any of these clips, and if relatively rare these days I'd recommend watching some Colin McRae he was pretty infamous for crashing, (he died in a helicopter crash in 2007 unfortunately)
It depends on the car, but you may be wondering if a male deer weighs 600kg so there will be a hit, there are a lot of deer in Finland and I have once avoided the rear and it is the safest way, but we also have deer on the biggest roads. Scandinavian flick is the technique you should learn if you run into a situation. There is a map reader in the rally, they go through the road and write notes about it and don't really know those roads by heart, it would be impossible to know every special test by heart, that is, go by the notes, which makes the rally different from other classes.
The reason they don't spin out when you expect them to is because they have the proper suspension setup for the job.
That one time I drove an American car I noticed how absolutely terrible the suspension is, way too soft and unstable.
I was scared to even do 100 km/h in it, meanwhile, european suspensions are more firm and controllable.
Dont worry too much about the Isle of Man videos, bro. The video is gone now so no more worries! We like to keep that stuff on the low, especially for the families who are going through the losses currently.
thanks Matty. As I said to frezzn, it still was wrong on my part to choose that sort of video. And the timing made it even worse. Thanks again for understanding guys.
Rally is not like TT anymore. They have good safety standards in modern rally cars. With group B videos you never know, because someone usually died almost each rally, but with modern ones they are usually fine even after scary looking crashes.
7:00 - that'd be a mixture of incredible stupidity and alcohol, I expect.
For the most part, injuries are rare, and fatal injuries are very rare - the most spectacular crashes where the car rolls with bits flying off it are not usually a problem, as the energy is dissipated over several seconds - it's the sudden stops that actually hurt. If you check the safety requirements for the cars you'll understand better.
Not sure which TT video you reacted to, but the one with the chap rag-dolling through the air, having come off on the mountain, has him returning th next year and he's actually interviewed in the video. I can't see a problem with it.
However, the race week averages around 4 killed racing, with more injured - so perhaps if it was one that was more graphic and had an actual death there may be justification in pulling it.
2:10 I’ve had a couple friends unfortunately hitting wild boars with their cars, they re much smaller than moose but can still make a lot of damage, like salvaged vehicles type of damage so I can’t even imagine what a moose would do
The biggest danger with hitting Moose is that their legs, stand at just the right height, so that you hit them, and they fall full body weight into the windshield, and could easily kill you
the tracks are 10 min full corners
is that the first ralley vid u r reacting on? The passenger has the pace for the stage....
Their allowed walk or drive the track once to compare with their track notes.
An adult moose would crush your car and you wouldn't survive the hit on the highway
and in a Rally car there is the Driver that drives the car at the maximum of their level, and the co pilot that will tell the driver at what gear he will take a turn and in what direction the turn is, so if he comes in 6th gear on a straight, and the co pilot will tell 2L, then the driver will have to slow down, move down to 2nd gear and then take the left turn
Pretty sure no one dies in Mr. M's videos. Hurt, yeah, but no fatalities. Mostly they're one long ad for rollcages.
Dude the isle of men guys know the risk. Its their problem, not yours.
More then one per event dies statistically. So yeah participating there takes the right to complain afterwards in my opinion.
Also the longer they roll the less likely they are insured as the force of stopping them is lesser.
There's a co-pilot in the car
you are fine Connor. You are not dumb mate
yes the drivers and co drivers are much more safer in a car. the roll cages can take the impact
NO he has a co driver who tells his what speed he can take each turn
