Onboard Crazy Simca Rallye 3 || Rear-Engined 675Kg Monster
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2019
- This little Monster is called Simca Rallye 3 and is quite the rare (but very popular) 70´s French Sports Car that has been converted into proper Racing Cars through the years both for Rallying and HillClimb Racing. This one is now powered by a 1300cc Engine unit capable of around 160Hp, moving only 675Kg and driven by Romain Richardeau, who might be the current best driver of these quirky things.
At Osnabruck Bergrennen 2019 it certainly was possibly to see that as he posted a 1:05.889, positioning him above many Lancer Evo, BMW and many other much more powerful machines. And other than that, there´s the tremendous driving style. And for that just watch the Onboard footage. You will get a proper idea on how quick someone can be with something with little over 150Hp and a manual H-Pattern 5-speed Gearbox... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Wow this was one of the best hillclimb car/video/driver I have seen in a very long time!
Thanks ;) We liked its final look for sure, and of course this little Monster helps a lot...
Me Too !!
Driven like he stole it... damn!
👏😳👏
True French nostalgia: Remember my trips to France in my youth, where I saw a lot of rear-engined Renaults and Simcas tuned insanely, dragging their oilpans over the tarmac because they where lowered at the rear, with puffed wheelarches, racing around on the mountain roads like madmen!
imagine pulling up in an evo and the car you drew in grade 2 goes faster than you
that statment was hilarious.
😀😆😂🤣😃😁
This car exist in french hillclimb Simca 1000 with r5 turbo engine
We had a little simca back in the 60’s 👌🏻
It looks hilarious but drives like (and is driven by) a beast
Ça fais plaisir de voir de vraies voitures de course , la bonne epoque. Merci
magnifique !!! et le pilote l'exploite impecablement respect
Along with seeing cars that are common in various crazy versions,you guys also find rare gems and this Simca is one of those.What a fast car,but damn,what a driver.Seriously,this is one of the best car/driver combos i've seen on your channel.Thanks for sharing spectacular cars and for daily dose of adrenaline.
675 kg, reminds me of the Legend cars they run here in the States. Ones here use motorcycle engines and they're tiny. A lot of fun to watch, this one was pretty sweet too 👍
This is still a real rally ride. Very good video. Greetings from Austria.
Cette rallye 3 m’a marqué pour lavoir vu rouler dans plusieurs course de côte la couleur, le bruit et elle marche fort un pur bonheur 😍
Ich hab mal wieder vor Freude geweint , Danke Fränky für das tolle Video .Auto und Fahrer sind Weltklasse.
que de souvenir, rally, course de cote et ce son pouaaah !
merci
Intimidating Car and Fearless Driver. Watched it all in one breath.
Awesome driver! He drives over the limit the whole track! Respect!
Fantastique auto et pilote au top Wwwaaooouuuhhhh 👍👍👍👍
Absolutely on the edge of the grip. Amazing!!!
Bon pilotage à la limite, et sans aller trop loin, et avec une petite merveille de grand-mère. Bravo
recon its the slippery low drag co-efficient shape that makes it that quick !!!.
😂😂
Aero-lego....
..been on the rear seat of a stock rally3 when I was a kid, in the late 70's. The brother of a school friend of mine had one... he drove (fast) the kids for fun on the road... It was a different but MARVELOUS era. This car was our absolute dream, It was a real popular sport car, with NO electronics at all : engine, wheels, steering & brakes and you... miss this era...
On the boils. Marvelous driving.
A friend of mine raced with a similar one 30 years ago. It had around 130 hp back then and great handling.
amazing!
Exhaust sound is great!
Mi padre adoró estos fantásticos carros y tuvimos el gusto de verlos y viajar en ellos ( 1000 CC, 1204 CC y 1300 cc ) y al ver este video recordé aún más a mi padre.
Mean little orange ruffy and a very skilled driver 👍
That is s super talented individual. Exceptionally quick.
Verry good driving skills!👍
Que gran aparato, recuerdo verlos de niño con dos motores!!
Bloody Hell!! And i didnt even have time to put my harness on.🏴👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This guy has skill that no body can match even they are give 110% commented he's still faster then most us can do.
Car looks and goes awesome .. respect ..
Damn, that little car is mental!!!
It looks awesome and sounds even better, And the driver isn't holding back, he's giving irt all he's got
Its definitely a 5 speed dogbox though, no clutch upshifting :)
An insane little monster!
Yup the way he changes gears is astonishing...and the fact that he still uses the H-pattern instead of sequential...
That looks like alot of fun
Superbe auto et pilote au gros cœur, wwaawww 👍👍👍👍
What a strange, little car. Sounds good though!
It's a 70's french car, with a BIG engine 😁
@@G.M.. 1.3L is not a big engine 🤔
Wow! That thing is a weapon!!
Thats a nice ride 👌
Damn, the things we miss out on here in America.
That little angry thing looks fun!
Well you guys are the champions of the big displacement V type engines, that's awesome too :)
@@z-trip5457 I'm not loyal to any platform or displacement--fast is fast. More Americans should appreciate the diversity of speed
There was always a handful of these rallye 1 2 or 3 when I went to hillclimbs ten years ago, they were my favorites !
Sadly they are becoming rarer nowadays
looks like a toy. this thing's a gokart with a shell. love it
On s'est loin des petites simca 1000 de série. !!
Good lord... it handles about as well as it looks...
I had two of these Simcas in the late 70s.
I could never overcome their cooling problems.
The only parts of my Simcas which didn't fall apart with rust were the rubber tyres.
Fantastic!
Superbe !
Man this car is nuts.
Trazione posteriore ! 👍
Such a nice car
Espectacular..!!
looks like it handles great, would it be better or worse if the engine was mounted up front?
wtf ..hilarious ,,I like this !
Clutchless Upshift..that's mad.
....and has the aerodynamics of a brick :D
Mental! love it :)
EVO driver:it's over, my EVO is more powerful and stable than this shitty car!
Romain Richardeau:hold my oversteering 675 kgs.
This was a cool little car. My G35 6 speed 360 hp RWD eats and shits EVO's on the first lap.
Got vid? Show us some video and maybe just maybe we will belive you.
Un peu de respect pour les anciennes tocard
@@kerkouz1211 les types n'y connaissent rien en course de cote,et surtout historique;;;;
J'ai vu + d'evo sur le toit ou dans les rails de securité que de simca rallye sur 40 ans.
Steering wheel to far away: looks like "Go-Go-Gadget-Arms"! 😁🤔
But, very nice machine! 👍🏻
Ok so I saw a similar comment, hes only using the clutch when hes backshifting, and he appears to feather it several times too, but as he rows thru the gears, no clutch. I dont know much about this car, Im curious if thats the “norm” or not? I was waiting to see some heel/toe as well, but this guy didnt need it. Exceptional driving and course knowledge, great vid!
Mola mucho ese Simca
Nasty little car
Ça pousse FORT !
Romain Richardeau "Magic" 👐 🙋🏁 Tiens j'ai vu passer un missile 🏆
Spettacolare.
Vertigo racing in the play store..
Wow, I thought this was going to be just another bike engine conversion till I saw the gear changes , and that sound!!! Great drive,
What's the engine in this thing of beauty.
Te owner say It,s the original 1000cc tuned
@@angelvacilon4117 And stroked to 1300cc.
Simca/Talbot
Awesome, way more interesting than a bike powered car.
Questa è un mostro 👍💪💪 ma che motore monta??
We had such a car back in 1974 (I was 11 then). It was a 1000 Spécial with 60 hp. We kept it for 4 years. Nothing but trouble and rust. We never solved the cooling issue. Everything was replaced with a Rallye 2 cooling system. No luck. It kept itself at the brink of overheating (110 C). Even with 60 hp it was fast in its day, but dangerous and unreliable. Everything went wrong on it.
I had two Simcas in the late 70s.
Dreadful cooling problems.
@@raypurchase801 Somehow nice to hear that we were not the only ones. My father was a car mechanic and he says it was the only thing ever he was not able to solve. He was genuinly troubled by that (I guess his professional honor was hurt). What made it even more mysterious was that the overheating just started one day, from one moment to the next. Did you find what caused it?
What's the type of gearbox is he using ? Is that a kind of semi-automated upshifting gearbox ?? Because he only used the clutch for down shifting, or he's actually so good that he got the perfect timing for shifting without clutch ???
I know him and yes he got the perfect timing when he push the engine at +8000rpm 😉
Should win on aerodynamics alone 👍
When you have 1 arm almost completly extended to reach the wheel in a turn you are making a sacrifice in control
Nah it's called knowing the car and its limits.
Bestiale
Now this is my type of car. Not a lot of power but it weighs near nothing to make up for it.
Sticks to the road like shit to a blanket !
Toute ma jeunesse😂😂🎉🎉rallye 1, rallye 2 rallye 3😁😁🔥🔥👌👌
Boîte 5 ? Hewland ?
How is he up shifting without hitting the clutch?
I'm guessing straight cut gears but i'd also like to know.
Look at the front tyres flying in the air while cornering ( 2:04 )
[Serious] Wouldn't a rear wing prevent the rear end from sliding out the corners?
Piotr Chylarecki Yes, but given the car has not that much power it would also impact straight line performance too much. So the best solution is to drive it on the limit of traction and have as less drag as possible when accelerating 😉
Where's the fun in that?
Sounds fantastic, my tool shed is more aerodynamic!
Born in 60's. If you find it fun you can search about BMW2002 TI or Escort MKI or MKII or Renault 8 etc... I personnally think that Some of them would be exposed in a art museum . ☺
SIMCA I remember my father had one of this in dark blue.
Mine has one in white.
I had two in beige and one in light blue ( i Am not the jungest)
Had a roll over in one, needed a Volvo after that!
Very nervous the small boy!!!!!!!!!
I had a Simca Rallye 1 it was often not drivable rear engine and rear wheel drive in rain is an adventure but it was a funny time
@i. rob right, l had a bag of fine gravel ( especially for snow )
👍👍👍
160bhp, 1300cc... Hayabusa engine, perhaps?
Not on this case. It is a highly tuned version of the original 1000cc Engine.
@@HillClimbMonsters Ah, nice. Thank you for the info!
@@HillClimbMonsters is It still using carburators or has been converted to electronic fuel injection?
Great machine and great video
@@HillClimbMonsters (
@@CarlosGarcia-ze6rt Probably still using carbs. I know an engine tuner specialized in tuning classic mini engines, and on the side he also has some bmw of the 70's and a simca rallye 3. He uses dual 40 DCOE weber, an extremely aggresive camshaft ( around 300° duration), High comp ratio as well as a well thought out cylinder head. It brags around 150 bhp but really won't budge under full throttle below 4000 RPM, and the idle is extremely rough ( anything below 1500 and you feel like the engine is dying). Though, when rev to its nuts ( 9000 RPM, sometimes a bit more) it sounds amazing.
This color on a boosted Starlet GT Turbo would be Awesome.
Anyone else thinks that this car looks as if it was made with Legos?
Nuclear Trabant
I'm just scared. At the same time, it is my ideal.
wer kann,der kann !!!!!
Is a simca a Fiat abrath? Ive seen a fiat exactly the same body shape.
It is the same shape, but this is the last version ever sold. Little over 1000 were built and they were not not built with the Abarth collaboration. The y were called Simca 1000 Rallye 3.
@@HillClimbMonsters nice one. Thought I was going mad!! Appreciate the reply.
🚗💥
Corners like it's on rails
Great coverage, interesting car, nice driving. Bagging by others... seriously...get a life.
Thanks Greg ;)
That's one fast lada!
Its not Lada is Simca.
😘👍🤘
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
It looks like I could lift this thing onto the trailer
C quoi comme moteur ???
In French hillclimbs, there are a lot of Simca 1000 rally 3, but I think that rally 2 are more popular
Remember that a lot more Simca Rallye 2 units were built then Simca Rallye 3.. these things are pretty rare ;)
@@HillClimbMonsters yeah that kind of logical x)
