    Hilarious to read some of the comments on Tommi's driving. This guy won 4 word rally championships consecutively when wrc was at its most competitive with all the big manufacturers involved. This car he took round on this lap was totally stock !! Now show some respect!!!

      Lol, you obviously dont know nothing about racing. He drove those first chicanes perfectly... And you are saying his driving is too much "wrc". How the hell you know how that car handles on that track(on those conditions)? That is how it looks when REAL racing driver is pushing "shitty road car" on it´s absolute limits.

  • @JokariX
    @JokariX Před 8 lety +369

    Tommi won 4 WRC championships in the most difficult conditions you can ever imagine. Mud, gravel, snow, ice, tarmac. How can you even critizise his driving skills in any level?

    • @JokariX

      +cody runge I agree the line's are not the most perfect. But... and there's always a but in a driver like this. Just take a look at 1:34/1:39, that gear swap, very intelligent torque adjusment, just to make it progressively oversteer and get out of the corner faster. And you can find a lot of that all over the lap. That torque sensibility is not the most common. This guy its not a perfect track driver... its not, but as a rally driver he does best outside his environment than a lot of track racers. And that is a huge point to him.

    People on the internet are such super skilled drivers they can even talk shit about Makinnen not rev matching, going from 5th to 2nd gear, etc.
    No more than a handful of people have ever been better at driving than Sir Makinnen once was.
    He's driving the shit out of a ''regular'' car in Nurburgring as no one has probably done before and he makes it look like he's just trying to enjoy it. Being almost 50, no less.
    But hey, he's still a bitch cause he doesn't even heel and toe.

    • @booha6155
      @booha6155 Před rokem

      1.33 is NOT a misshift; its technical term is "engine braking compression locking". The amount of ignorant comments here from the inexperienced and uneducated arm chair critics is astounding and disgusting. I would strongly suggest that if one does not own a Subaru STi, then driven it at the limit at the track refrain from commenting because whats coming out of people's mouths are just sheer absurd plain stupid garbage nothing short of a raving idiot on a random rant.

    Not many seem to understand that Tommi is sitting on the wrong side of the car. You can see by the gear changes that he doesn't like this position.
    I bet he would be a lot faster if he was sitting on the left...

      Pirkka Ruuska You have obviously not driven a racecar on the wrong side of what you are used to. Not to mention the cameras rolling over your shoulder where the world is watching.
      Since you sit on the different side of the H, the feeling for the centrifugal force is not the same. The vision out of front window to put the H frame close to apex is changed and we have also mentioned that gearbox is reversed.
      Imagine you are doing the gear changes when you are passenger next time in a car.

  • @Xmvw2X
    @Xmvw2X Před 10 lety +46

    Ah classic video. Tommi's got great skill.
    I do find it curious how people can rip on his driving. It goes to show how little some actually know about driving well. Maybe people expect smoother movements. Part of this has to do with how Subarus are set up stock, basically kind of mushy on inputs, and part of this has to do with the nature of a rally driver. He actually has to work against the car some to get the most out of the car, so there tends to be a lot of driver inputs and larger than expected breadth of input.
    It is important to note that the car is being driven quite near the limit as much as possible and that Tommi is using quite a lot of the course. He's got the throttle pegged for quite a significant amount of the course, even in sketchier bits. He's braking pretty late and shortly in difficult areas. Plus he's using a lot of curbs and run off when able to improve the line and hold speed. He also seems to modify his lines for the available power of the car, get on to the throttle and hold full throttle, and to carry more speed on exits. There is some margin of safety in place on the run which is noticeable, but frankly you're not going to find a driver and manufacturer out there destroying a pile of cars pushing at 10/10ths. There's no prize. Realistically, he's only leaving maybe 10 seconds on the table for safety.

    this guy might be the best who's ever lived...if not, he's knocking on the door. That was truly impressive driving and watch his corner entry in EVERY corner, tires are loaded up to the max...he knows EXACTLY where the limit is. Impressive as hell.

  • @soubgio
    @soubgio Před 10 lety +25

    Difference between a WRC driver and track drivers,based on Nurburgring test videos.
    Track / test drivers trying to be smooth with the car, avoid the curves and very accurate with shifting in order to be fast.
    Makkinen is throwing the car on the curves,he is not smooth at all,he turns in even with 2 gears up and is still very fast.
    He really shows to the car, who's the boss by kicking it's butt.

    • @ArchOfficial
      @ArchOfficial Před 9 lety

      Not smooth at all? He's smoother than 99% of drivers I see. He's not adjusting mid corner because he apexed too early, he's just coaching the car into the corner and using the tires well. If you're keeping the steering wheel completely still in a corner, you're slipping your tires unnecessarily as the road conditions change. If you look at his high speed corner entries, he's taking them better than most drivers I've seen, and definitely better than a single amateur I've ever seen drive the ring. If he was driving in front of someone, no matter how smooth they are, his line and use of tires is just far better. He's entering some corners 20km/h faster than most people. If he's not smooth, explain that..?

    • @soubgio
      @soubgio Před 9 lety +10

      I mean that he turns the wheel very agressive and not afraid if the car slides because he can correct it immidiately.
      In general im saying that he is brutal to the car like he is beating it up and he is very comfortable with that.
      All im saying is that he is damn fast.Only a WRC driver can drive like that.

    • @c4rr3ll
      @c4rr3ll Před 9 lety

    Makinen's brilliant here, he's clutchless downshifting with left foot braking rather than heel-toeing. I think it's a technique that was more common in rallying (back when they were using traditional manual gearboxes) than on a race track where heel-toe would be more used.

    • @nhominhdinh
      @nhominhdinh Před 6 lety

      well the finish line is right after that corner, so he knows he did not have to get a good run for the next straight. He just needed to get to the finish line as fast as possible, so he just went full throttle and accepted the risk of going off road or getting oversteer. The same with qualifying lap in F1. Alonso said that if the finish line is just right after the corner, then doesn't matter if you have a good exit or not, you just need to reach there as fast as possible.

      Actually, it' not a beast at all. I had the opportunity to drive a 2011 and it was the easiest-going Subaru I've yet driven. This skill isn't in taming it, the skill is in the madnest required to put it on the edge. You gotta remember, this is a four-cylinder, four-door sedan. Yes, it's holy shit fast , but it's still a Subaru ;]

  • @johnnolang3734

    I found that to be damned good driving. There have been faster cars around Nurburgring but not stock standard road legal family sedans. Having owned and driven a muscle car myself capable of speeds well in excess of this one, I was very impressed. McLaren P1s or Ferrari's were designed for this sort of thing but this Subaru wasn't. He entered every corner properly, hit the apex with his foot off the brake and slammed his foot down on the go pedal at exactly the right time. Well done.

    • @booha6155
      @booha6155 Před rokem

      As a Subaru STi owner and track day junkie I can confirm, what Tommi does here is nothing short of "technical excellence and talent execution wizardry". His weight transfer methods of getting the car to turn before and during the corner is next level, and resembles the late Ayrton Senna.
      Subaru STi's have 0 driver feedback as to what and when the center diff is locking or clue us in on what its doing unlike a RWD where throttle steer is a thing or FWD where its a constant factor.
      Still can't get my head around how his steering inputs achieve a miniature scandi flick to flow more corner entry speed then trailing the brake to the late apex then finally at the corner exit, having enough of a turn moment to not understeer but to instead launch the car off corner after corner its astounding.

    • @disbsam333
      @disbsam333 Před 10 lety +3

      Rev matching would slow down lap times. I don't think durability was the goal with this lap lol.

    • @felipegames12
      @felipegames12 Před 10 lety +6

      disbsam333 Actually, rev matching saves your clutch and gear box and gives your engine a faster response, which will give you faster acceleration after down shifting.
      When you rev match, after you release the clutch and start to accelerate again, the revs will be already on point, already high, but when you simply downshift, after you release the clutch the revs go slowly back up (when you press clutch, the revs go down, after u release, they go up again).

    • @ArchOfficial
      @ArchOfficial Před 9 lety +6

      But he's heel and toeing every downshift, so how is he not revmatching? He's not grinding gears, and can accelerate immediately, so immediately, by all logic, he has matched revs.

    • @felipegames12
      @felipegames12 Před 9 lety

      It's easy if you're used to shift with right hand.. It's not about how good of a driver you are, it's more about muscle memory. I couldn't shift fast when I bought my first jdm car. Took maybe like 1-2 weeks for me to get fully used to left hand shifting.

You relay have to get it loaded up correctly to make the most of the grip
