Yeah, they were a little over dramatic. Some of the crashes were extremely minor and the driver was already trying to get back on course, and the spectators were rushing over yelling, "ArE yOu Ok?!"
I used to watch rally cars sailing past, sideways, at 120kph, teetering on the edge of control, and think, "those guys are crazy!" And then I realized the drivers and co-drivers are the sane ones. The people standing 5cm away from the cars sailing past, sideways, at 120kph... _THOSE_ people are crazy.
notice how they always stand on the inside corner and never much further down track then the turn apex? and if they do stand on the outside they stand way up track of the corner and much further back? they understand the risk and mitigate it the best they can
Don't be sad about those classics being crashed, they went out in the most honourable way they could! Ahhh! Those 3 VW Sedans make my little heart pump again
I’ve watched a lot of these rally videos and they’re all very same, same. This one is by far the best. Proper old school cars with proper old school fearless drivers. Love it! 🤘🤘🤘
I am not that interested in Rally or Cars, but damn! Hats of to those drivers (and the people along the track)! It's really cool to see how everyone starts running to help whenever the crash seemed serious.
They run there to ask "is everything alright? are you ok?" And if everything is cool they start pushing the car back to road so the driver can continue. The clock is ticking and the race is on. That is why they hurry. Very rarely anything serious happens to driver or passanger. It needs to be harder hit than these. Edit: I have seen drivers yelling to spectators if they just walking slowly
Yeah, it is sad to see classic cars end up crashed. From the other hand it's charmful to see them doing exaclty what were designed for. It's better to see rally car end up rollover on the stage than sitting in museum/garage forever.
it's really cool to see these old vehicles tear up the gravel... it's inevitable that one or two will crash at some point.... seeing old Peugeots or Volvo 240s, ladas, and late 80s Saabs get all banged up is alright... but that poor gen 1 mini, or that poor alfa... really hurts the heart.

first half of comment was good, second part wasnt needed obviously you dont know much about drag racing (im not a fan of it but those drivers are insane)
Every motorsport has its value. Drag racing is more engineering oriented than traffic oriented, but that doesn't degrade it one bit. That said, while I don't personally enjoy it, I have a coworker that does and she mentioned the joy of it really doesn't translate well over television. While engineering is what drag racing is primarily about, it does take a lesser known skill: mechanical sympathy. They have to shift at the perfect moment, and generally need to have a sense for what is going on with their engine based on what they are hearing and feeling. As a spectator sport, I feel like it's mostly the sound of the engines and feeling its power that helped it take off, because from what I can tell the skill aspect is either not plainly visible in the way avoiding a wreck is, or happened before the race when the engine was built and maintained.
@@nightowlrally the fastest drag racing is doing 1000 ft in just over 3.5 seconds from a standing start at over 330mph (530km/h) I’m not sure how you can consider being able to control something like this not being a fast driver. Even between 5-11 seconds in the 1/4 mile can take a lot of skill, but much of it is not evident to spectators. I grew up a rally, circuit racing fan and but recently I’ve been following drag racers on CZcams (mainly Cleetus McFarland) and once you can see behind the noise, tyre smoke and raw power you better understand what really goes into a fast run. The problem is I don’t think Drag Racing does a good job of communicating this to the fans. I think dirt track Speedway racing in the same. You can watch it for years and unless you have a connection to someone behind the scenes you never discover the intricacies of it.
I am not much of a fan of drag racing either but if you take a look at the lateral acceleration car goes through in drag racing you understand better the difficulity of that sport. And those movements in sideways are very unpredictable caused probably mostly by differential
I remember about 25 years ago a University acquaintance and I were marshalling the Bournemouth Winter Rally. We went down in his Volvo 340 (quite antiquated even then), reported to the start of the stage and told we were to man the finish. So he drove me to the finish 'the quick way'! We didn't have a roll cage, helmets or overalls, so we only(!) did about 60, but that was fast enough!
Dunno why but I feel the need to chant for volvo's whenever I see them in a rally, they feel like they hold such power as they are gods in the motor industry for their brickyness and memability and also they dont die
The Opel Ascona's did fair too well, apart from a 'A' getting through all the B's failed. Ascona's and Mk1&2 Escorts were and are the best Rally Cars, never get tired watching them.
I like how the Swedish and Finnish rallies are the exact same, other than the sky and the road being a bit darker. Oh and the swedes are not running to the cars with tow ropes... that much.
Old Volvo,s ...on , and on , and on, and on , just unstoppable , but the symphony of the rally ; mark 2 escorts ! faaintastic sounding engines , played by experts ! ( And I,m, a vauxhall fan !)
As someone just starting out with more sim -ish rally and racing games, and finding just how hard it is to keep my car on the track, its nice to see that sometimes The Stars, They're Just Like Us!
I don't know what's more impressive, the drivers pushing their vintage cars to the limit and beyond or the audience participation. That Volvo at 1:30 hadn't even hit the ground when help was already half way there.
The Saabs seemed to be some of the neater drivers, and the Beetles did well too, esp considering their old design. Speaking as an ex-rally driver, I was rather worried with the numbers and in some cases locations of the spectators. I fear there will be someone hit if they are not a bit more careful.
@@baxdesign Macpherson strut front and IRS rear, if set up well really handle well, you can use 944 trailing arms on the back to get instant rear discs too.
it may not be commonly known that this sport is ingrained in many since their childhood when they learned from their older brother and uncles how to tinker with cars and make them go fast. Kids get a chance to join around 15-16yo when the local motor club visit the youth centers and offer kids the chance to practice as the map reader, mostly in the winter to protect them in case of crashes. All it takes is doing it one time and you are hooked, amazing andrenaline rush.

8:07 Look at the oxygen thief who runs out to the crash so early he's almost flattened by the car. Then he forgets he's still on the phone and tries to open a rear door with one hand.
After work, i only had a couple hours before it got dark so i drove the dirt roads as fast as i could to go fishing. When i turned 18 i was a natural. The stock 2300cc class was so much fun. Mostly used pinto coups, they usually held up all year if you didn't crash to bad.
Now THAT is driving. This beats hell out of ANY other kind of race. They dont measure these cars in MPH, they measure them in ounces of adrenaline per second !!! I would love to drive on one of these races or even be navigator. That's got to be the biggest rush ever . Going on board for the ride, not having much to do with whether one lives or dies . Wooo eee !!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish they ran rallies in the United States .
I couldn’t care less. It’s not like old Volvos are scarce. They probably have already been “ruined” by the modifications needed to turn them into rally cars.

You're kinda right, the rally driver and co driver understand the risks
The spectators don't know what they have in for themselves

Youre nothing unless you either know the road or have a sat nav guiding you. These guys are basically both
notice how they always stand on the inside corner and never much further down track then the turn apex? and if they do stand on the outside they stand way up track of the corner and much further back? they understand the risk and mitigate it the best they can
damm volvos need that angle
Medium right don't cut!
Love seeing the classics still being driven hard but it's heartbreaking when they get crashed
For me there is the same problem. I would like it more to see them on a less risky race than in a rally race...
Fastly driven but not destroyed.
3:25 this guy looks like he was running behind the whole time and stopped to help
him and the car were racing eachother, good sport stopped running and helped him out instead lmao
this guy was surelly faster than any driver xD
