12:41 Mäkinen through the famous narrow tunnels, 13:17 Panizzi CRASH, 14:36 Auriol CRASH, 20:21 Sainz big SPARKS, 20:54 Solberg CRASH, 39:25 McRae SPIN on famous Col de Turini stage, 39:55 McRae problems, 40:34 Mäkinen passes McRae, 42:20 McRae kicks car, 43:18 Delecour mistake, 44:02 A McRae mistake, 50:47 Results of Rallye Monte-Carlo 2001
Outstanding videography, better than modern coverage. Such an awesome Time Capsule. The late 90s & early 2000s were such a golden era for rally and motor sports
I like rally in this period of time. Never missed a chance to watch the race. Lots of manufacturer, drivers & cars that have potential to be the champion. Not to mention the drama & more adrenaline rush. It all change when everything suddenly become hatchback races
I miss the time when the cars were Peugeot, Citröen, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Ford, Sköda, Seat, Toyota. Good times... I never missed a rally in TV in the 2000's. RIP Richard Burns and Colin McRae.
I miss the time when it was Fiat, Porsche, Ferrari, Ford, Audi, Peugeot, Opel, Saab, Austin-Rover and most of all, Lancia, its absence in particular being the biggest loss to rallying in its entire history, if only for the champagne, style, and "imaginative solutions" to victory. Thems were the days.
I can't believe this! I can watch all the WRC highlights from the year 2001! I'm in heaven! Or I'm just dreaming. If that's the case, don't wake up me!
One thing that always puzzled me here that is not mentioned in the comments is the pace of Armin Schwarz in the Skoda.He straight up challenged for a podium in that tank of a car that the octavia. I know that he finished third on the safari but that was mostly because of the big rate of attrition. Here he was right on the pace. Possibly the most competitive outing of the octavia.
"The two most spectacular gladiators in the World Rally Championship. On the cards, a clash of the titans, on a mountain made for rally gods." Jeremy Hart's commentary is badass!!
Is 2001 the best competitive driver line-up of all time? Look at all the champions; - Solberg, - Mäkinen, - McRae, - Burns, - Auriol, - Sainz, - Gröhnholm - Kankkunen featured in 1000 lakes, Crazy line-up and competition bro.
4 times Monte Carlo winner is Tommi Makinen Mitsubishi in 1999-2001 and first Subaru Impreza win in 2002 Monte Carlo and last career win when Sebastian Loeb Citroen Xsara joined the senior category for the second time to take his first win but Loeb got caught for illegal tire change at Day 3 with Minor Punishment as well as penalty to drop into 2nd place
The no1 car of makinen was entered by its standard name while the cars of the no2 drivers had the carisma branding on them since '97. A marketing move more than anything else
Yeah, this is really good, I don't even think that the 2001 DVD set has this much coverage. But at least DVD doesn't have that annoying circle spinning in the middle of the screen. Well, you usually get what you pay for :)
Had Mitsubishi allowed Tommi to run the old Evo 6 for the final fours of that season's rallies, i think he'll definitely had a big shot of taking his fifth drivers champion, for examples rally San Remo and Australia is always good to him and to his evo 6 so, lets say he's the best non Peugeot-Citroen, which at the time he might ignore it cause the those drivers didnt have a chance of WDC and only aiming for WCC, Tommi, he'll get a good points by finishing those rallies behind these French cars but way ahead of his main title rivals say in top four places and by the GB rally he can be the championship leader by quite a big point, cause it seemed that this car was not only his car but also his main weapon, the weapon that made him invincible in the last four five years, even though that charm of invincibility had slowly fade away that year but the fact that he still in the race for the championship despite driving arguably an inferior car, said a lot about his connection with that Evo
nzf1boy a little bit late but the reason was that tobacco and alcohol sponsors were allowed in monte carlo where the start, parcferme and podium was, but not in france where stages were held.
Sebastian Loeb Monte Carlo wins 2003,2004,2005,2007,2008,2012 and 2013 Totally 7 times winner in Monte Carlo except 2006 Monte Carlo that was won by New Ford Focus Marcus Gronholm first Ford Focus win in 2006 season beginning when Sebastian Loeb had bad start at Day 1 but returned back to Day 2 to stay positive at 2nd place when Gronholm took first Ford Focus win
It is so sad how Mcrae went out in the heat of the battle. He could have probably won atleast a couple of more championships if his cars were more reliable
Actually the reliability of the focus was terrible. Out of the first 4 rounds he retired from 3 due to mechanical problems. Same thing happened to Carlos Sainz later in the season.
That will have to do until I receive the DVD set in her the U.S. from Amazon.co.uk via their slowness Royal Mail... Then I won't have to do with the idiotic commercials, as well as staring at the stupid circle rolling in the middle of the screen.

Truly a golden time. I went to the rally of Finland this year. It makes me sad that I didn't go during that time.

Delecour also
Thanks for uploading this fantastic early 2000's stuff
I miss this era of the WRC 😭

spot on observation
He was epic in this rally
Probably his best ever rally
@@jackbutler3594 for real. This and that years safari.
tbh anything other than top 6 drivers are forgotten.

I can not believe they put up all the seasons on youtube... this is amazing!
I miss the years of Makinen vs Mcrae
Oh there's a lot of video here on yt about the late 90's fantastic races!
lou6977 the 99 Season is missing but otherwise yeah
Me too
Best Time of WRC .
2001 feels like yesterday and forever ago
Para mí fué la mejor época, fué la época que me enamoró del WRC!
I miss this commentary....
It's always funny to hear Makinen speaking his english. Magnificent :D
Golden era
Really EXCELENT quality video. Thanks
Here during covid19 2020...
Great job by Armin.
Golden age of rally
Excellent.......
Is 2001 the best competitive driver line-up of all time?
Look at all the champions;
- Solberg,
- Mäkinen,
- McRae,
- Burns,
- Auriol,
- Sainz,
- Gröhnholm
- Kankkunen featured in 1000 lakes,

Can't believe the parked cars along the stage 😮
Still Waiting for 2003 though Put fantastic videos love it
Theres a channel with all 14 rounds called Andres Koor
Can you guys upload these kind of memories in good higher resolution? that would be great
Does anyone know why Freddy Loix's car was referred to as the Carisma GT? Looks like a Lancer Evo to me!
The lancer evo was sold as carisma gt in certain markets
The no1 car of makinen was entered by its standard name while the cars of the no2 drivers had the carisma branding on them since '97. A marketing move more than anything else
Tommi makinen! best driver :)
best interviews from him, as usual :)
Yeah, this is really good, I don't even think that the 2001 DVD set has this much coverage. But at least DVD doesn't have that annoying circle spinning in the middle of the screen. Well, you usually get what you pay for :)
32:33 Colin’s blinking makes me anxious
Tommi Makinen, el rey de Montecarlo
15:54 That's a meme right there.

6 ADDS 6! well, i cant complain, i get to watch some sick footage after all...
What the?? At 49.43 it says martini on the sides of sainzs' car, then when he is being interviewd 10 sec later there is a ford logo! lol
nzf1boy a little bit late but the reason was that tobacco and alcohol sponsors were allowed in monte carlo where the start, parcferme and podium was, but not in france where stages were held.
So weird not seeing the number 1 on Makinen's Mitsubishi lol
@mattyomac not only mc rae, burns and park, but subaru and mitsubishi as well...
mc rae burns and parks gone. RIP :(
Tommi Skill 1

Ah yes, the guy, who throws around random trivia on every video, You might think you sound smart but you're just plain annoying

Guenther Steiner: YOU FOK SMASH MY CAR
Is that the most gorgeous Focus livery there ever was?
Answer is yes, by the way 😉
Always loved the RS liveries more than the martini ones tbh. The telefonica branding kinda ruins it.
The announcer sounds like John Oliver 😆
It is so sad how Mcrae went out in the heat of the battle. He could have probably won atleast a couple of more championships if his cars were more reliable
He wasn’t rly reliable either. Hella fast tho
The Focus' reliability was just fine. He could have won the 2001 title but he jinxed it at the very end, other than that its his fault.
Actually the reliability of the focus was terrible. Out of the first 4 rounds he retired from 3 due to mechanical problems. Same thing happened to Carlos Sainz later in the season.
Where was Subaru?????
Behind everyone else
Colin McRae is a total Chad
Weird phrasing choice
23.25... Its a skodo octovio 😂😂
2023 helou
