To be honest, making donuts to assert dominance and then winning the rally with over 1 minute of advantage from the rivals, is the biggest gigachad move i've ever seen in motorsport
Then you should check out MX world champion Håkan "Carla" Carlqvist from 1988. He was so dominant in a race that he stopped on the last lap and shared a beer with spectators and then won the race. 😀
MAybe except for Chris Meeke at Mexico, wining it after an incursion in a parking lot at the midle of a stage, going over cars and other stuff... Rally is a world for crazy guys... That's why we all love them
i met Gilles Panizzi at Paris auto show in 2004, i was 13. He was showing his new Mitsubishi Lancer and setting a time on a simulator. Told him i have a 306 maxi rc car and i am a fan of him, he signed me a poster. I had stars in my eyes nice memories.
A literal alien, i don't know how he does that, how he manages to adapt so fast to the condition and get to know instantly how to drive is if he was on a racetrack rather than in a rally
@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA thatt steering work of panizzi literally straight from karting... Long time ive been wondering why his steering work... Felt and looks not like other driver... Then i found out he practise on gokart from your video... It straight pointing to all those gokart training...super reactive front steering work and and 4wheel drifting to get the car turning for tight bends...
I saw Panizzi making that Donut in Catalunya live on tv and was crazy! Man, it gives me chills to remember hahaha I grew up in the age of Loeb and I have the pleasure to own not even one but two Xsaras VTS but Panizzi was one of its kind on asphalt. SPECTACULAR work guys! Love the style!
Jean Ragnotti is the real french rally guy. Much more of an awesome career, and he was doing 180° at 180km/h in his Turbo 2. Seen it a few time from my bare eyes, and video are available here. He is a true legend in french racing history.
Very nice description of an absolute asphalt specialist and also showing the variety of rallying. 2 notes I wish to make: 1) When you say with the 3 year Peugeot contract, the first two pictures with the 309 was actually when Panizzi competed in the Peugeot Cup, which he won and that awarded him the works drive in the 106. 2) I don't think it is fair to say that Corrado Provera decided to stop development on the 206 WRC. The works teams do this to promote the products the manufacturers are selling. The 206 was no longer a new car, but the 307 was. It were marketing reasons from Peugeot to dictate the change of car upon Provera and the team. Although I felt it was interesting to switch to the 307 CC, as we didn't have a hardtop cabrio in rallying since the Fiat 124 Spider and the Mercedes 500SL, it surely wasn't the best choice by Peugeot as the CC-layout meant the car had odd proportions and a lot of its weight at the back. But as said, production of the 206 road car in France ended only 2 years later, so one can see why Peugeot didn't want to promote it any more. Hardly Provera's decision, I believe even Provera himself was not happy about the change of model.
My family car growing up was a 306. I have pictures with Panizzi when I was 10 years old in the service area of the Acropolis Rally. I think it was important to mention that the 306 Maxi was a front-wheel drive car and when this guys was on asphalt he was so good we would beat AWD Group A cars.
In my opinion Didier Auriol was the fastest on tarmac ever but definetly Panizzi performances were epic and he deserves much more recognition. Great video
I remember when I was a kid and my father told me how amazing panizzi was. Even in the WRC games of the time Gilles was incredibly fast and hard to beat. I remember battling him in WRC II Extreme in tarmac rallies, swapping first place at the and of the stage and the third place driver being 40s - 1+ minutes behind.
Lol, exactly the same! On Sanremo Rally in WRC II Extreme he was hard to beat, and at times I was the one finishing the rally in 2nd or 3rd, 40 seconds behind Panizzi.
It doesn't make sense that you have less than 3k subscribers, your content is out of this world in terms of research, presentation and cool topics. Per favore, non fermatevi mai, siete a livelli altissimi ragazzi. Attendo nuovi video :0
This is easily my new favorite motorsport channel on youtube. The thought and care that goes into producing every one of your videos is outstanding! Keep going! You have a real talent for editing and writing.
IMO you forgot one important thing when you talked about his WRC podiums in 1997. Peugeot 306 Maxi was built as car for feeder series. It was FWD, meanwhile most of the field drove a bit stronger, 4WD World Rally Cars. And that makes it even more impresive.
It’s not like that … the f2 kit cars had a advantage on tarmac being 300kg lighter, wider track , better brakes and no air restrictor on the engine. In the right hands the kit cars were faster than a wrc on tarmac
I love the editing and story telling, don't let anyone stop you guys because this is peak content right here. Make sure to Sega Rally 2 OST for the next documentary!
While I wouldn't have made such a claim myself, as there are some massive names who could be considered ''fastest'' on tarmac, you just gained another sub!
Imagine taking your brand new Corvette or Ferrari to your favorite mountain road and being smoked by some Frenchman in a bone stock minivan. Apparently Dan Gurney pulled that trick quite often in his Honda Odyssey.
all french drivers are asphalt masters, as their national championship conisits of asphalt only. but this guy, best ever witn no competition. he's a fkin robot
I remember seeing Panizzi and Bugalski racing front wheel drive kit-cars against the WRC cars and beating them on some of those 1990's tarmac rally's. Total commitment and incredible skill, plus howling naturally aspirated engines!
I remember watching on eurosport back when i was 4. His driving style on asphalt is just amazing. And yes the donut thing i even saw it too. That got me thinking. What if u put him in an ae86 around touge against keiichi tsuchiya. Must be fun to watch
Great content however you didn't mention one of the main reasons why the Peugeots were unbeatable on asphalt: the Peugeots were 2WD. This means that they were light and good on asphalt since you didn't need lots of grip in these conditions, lightness was key. However they were worse on dirt. Whereas the competition was mainly 4WD cars with more grip on dirt (but heavier which penalized them on asphalt). I just wanted to mention that! And keep doing some awesome videos !
the maxi kit car concept was so powerful at the time.. it allow to reuse 2 liters NA engine from touring car series, lowering the money need to build a fast and light 2wd car. their engine scream at higher rpm compare to heavier, costier and more complex turbo 4wd WRC class.
In 1998, he visited us in the Canary Islands for the biggest rally we used to have here. Coefficient 20 European Championship, etc. He still holds an absolute record on one of the sickest stages you have never seen. Like a tarmac version of Pikes Peak uphill and downhill. People here had not yet heard of him. They could not believe his speed with the maxi. People still talk about it today. People used to even gently clap at him racing by. As if to say, it’s okay, you can go home, take it easy 😂. It was absurd good.
I don't know why I whispered "Gilles Panizzi" as soon as I saw the title in my suggested videos list. I think the 306 Maxi on the video icon made me think of this gentleman.
Fantastic video, keep up the good work. I remember being a kid an seeing Panizzi doing donuts in catalunya rallye and thinking, is that part of the race?????
@@PROJECTDREAMMULTIMEDIA actually I saw it in eurosport 😁. Another lengendary french driver is Jean Ragnotti, the guy used to finish is victory races by doing a 360º.
i feel like the actually underrated driver is bugalski, man got not only a podium but 2 wins against the WRC cars with the xsara kit car, and was a vital part of the developement of both xsaras, including the one that got 6 titles in 4 years and ,before the c4 even existed, became the most dominant car to ever exist. puras said in interviews how he always was breaking later than him in every corner, he might not have driven a full season in WRC but he still got one of the most impressive and underrated careers in rally.
The guy is an absolute legend, bad management in the Peugeot rally team and board of directors in general have seen a steady decline in the brand's appeal to the enthusiast and car buying public in general. The 206 wrc was an oddity but the 306 was Peugeot's last good car.
Some more facts about Panizzi: 1. Catalunya 1997 saw Panizzi and Delecour seriously fighting the 4WD WRC for victory with their 2WD 306 Maxi. It was the first time that ever happened. They ended up not winning the rally mostly because WRC were allowed to have tyres with the so-called "mousse", that allowed the car to still be drivable in case there was a puncture, and 2WD cars still didn't. 2. After the Catalunya 2002 victory, Panizzi was just 1 point behind the leader, Marcus Gronholm, who later won the championship. Also, Panizzi missed 2 rallies and didn't start in another, and still ended up the season just 6 points behind Solberg, who ended the championship season in 2nd place. 3. Panizzi (amongst other drivers like Bugalski and Puras) never did a full season, yet he was still shining. It's a shame that he was always only treated as the asphalt specialist, and mostly allowed to race only there. Maybe he wasn't competitive enough, but surely he was never given a chance. Panizzi's story is similar to other drivers': a great talent never really used. This is one of the many reasons why in those years I parted ways with WRC: too many strange rules and decisions, electronics ruling everything, great drivers not doing full seasons while unknown drivers like Jean-Joseph did.
Wow ragazzi, questo canale é bellissimo. Complimenti. I titoli di coda sono spettacolari e le musiche anche. Ho un modellino 1:18 proprio di Panizzi. Che gran pilota
This title is so wrong and a clickbite... Panizzi is one of the best tarmac specialists. So no i dont thinks so that people never heard about him. But dont take this comment negative, this document is really nicely done man.
lol the Panizzi's vs the Argentinian pair in the Impreza is one of my fave wrc moments ever. I've never know any rally fans that haven't heard of the Panizzi's tho.

Panizzi to me is a literal blue print of how to handle a car on ashpault. From steering grip to positioning on road to steering corrections.
A literal alien, i don't know how he does that, how he manages to adapt so fast to the condition and get to know instantly how to drive is if he was on a racetrack rather than in a rally
