@@gavj6451 I thought he was going to eat it off of the 2nd corner. I hope that he has a lot of experience with the car or else his team is going to tear him a new one.
Solberg at 17: Flings corners and full sends like a boss Me at 17: Gets blood rush when flooring a 4-cylinder fuel economy sedan that does 0-60 in 10 seconds
Ooooosh! I remember the feeling when I turned 17 and got the keys to my fiat uno... the 1ltr fire model 😵 first time on the road and I unleashed all 43hp it was like the Millennium Falcon jumping to lightspeed!!
Man that made me bring back memories of the first time I ever floored it when I was 14 on back road. That was the greatest feeling ever. Now my standard is ruined and will never find that happiness again.
@Yuri Lopes went for a track day as a Christmas present, end of my 10 laps I thought *getting pretty good at this, that was a fast lap* then the instructor took me for a drive....clean underwear was almost needed
@@AngryBanan4 Nope, it's mostly money. At 16 there was no way I would ever get to drive a 600hp car. The best I had was a 2000 Nissan Xterra and besides, this kid probably had his mom and dad's money to afford this type of hobby. Sure we can all buy a cheap rally car, but repairing the thing will still cost at least 1k every run depending on how rough we drove it. All I'm saying is that if every person had the money at 15, everyone that wanted to race could've been pulling these type of maneuvers. Edit: Forgot to mention this as well. He also got these skills thanks to his dad. Its obvious that he was taught by the best and we all know that the apprentice will surpass the teacher: always. Guess I just wanted to say that this kid was taught by a champion at a very young age which as we all know it, will begin to flourish as time passes by. All in all: he was able to do this cause his dad is a champion rally racer which means that it runs in the family. Also, they have the money to pay for all the cars the kid wrecks (I'm starting to sound like a broken record player with the phrase 'they have the money') As most comments suggest(thank you brothers and sisters) buying a cheap rally car is a good start, but without sponsors, we won't get far as buying a car after every race is considered a waste of money (if seen as a job). I'll probably add more if I feel like rambling again so I apologize in advance.
@@a_friendly_idiot Nah man, I don't think everyone that could afford to do this sport would be able to do it like this kid does it. It does take money but it also takes skill and determination.
@Yuri Lopes It was, but its clear that doing donuts around his dads car was a spur of the moment decision. If you watch his dads reaction he even turns a little quickly like he's caught off guard. He probably just didn't want what was an assumedly good day to end by being knocked off the roof of his car by his son.
There's a big difference between knowing how to handle a car and knowing how to engage in traffic. Based on how people drive it seems like the latter is more important. xD
Human being: 6472 I don’t watch wrc, I didn’t remember any wrc car with that specific livery but I was pretty sure there was some link between the car and a pro rally driver.
JUST GUNNA SEND IT Its not JUST because his daddy has money, but its prerequisit, because there’s literal loads of guys who can drive like this, but dont have where or what with.
JUST GUNNA SEND IT And you’d lose that bet, but its not about me here. Its about thinking that where he is and what he does has a little to do with money. While its 80% of it.
@@Mystipaoniz I have to agree. There are probably loads of 17 year olds that can drive just as good, with the same amount of practice. It's just they dont have the opportunity to do so because of finances
“Drive it like u stole it” Great driving like to see this kid grow into the industry and dominate in a few short years . He’s got talent it’s obvious along with a phenomenal coach & inspiration .
And government road safety “experts” in some countries want to raise the legal age to get a driver’s license? Dah......It’s not the age. It’s the mind - the study, the intelligence, the passion, the commitment, the respect. Cred to this young man. He trains a lot, no doubt. KEEP IT ON THE CIRCUIT!
No but younger drivers have a tendency to drive more recklessly. I'm 18, just got my licence a month ago but my friends who are 18-19 drive like fucking assholes like there aren't other people on the road. Be it motorbikes or cars.
What a stupid reasoning, there's a whole world between doing that and driving correctly on a public road without being a risk to others people lives, racing and driving is not the same.
I feel like there are many talented teen drivers we don’t know about, just rarely are they given the platform they need to take it to the next level like this. Great skill
michael shamesaldin lol i doubt it, the likelihood of a younger teen better than this guy is very low, considering you need the resources to start learning. This car is a 600hp machine, most kids at that age wont even have a car lol.
PR1NCETD0T as in theres people with better latent talent that will never get the chance. Thats my point. You made it for me. Most of his skills are most likely time in the seat latent ability is another thing. True i remember the first time i drove something with 500+ at 17 its something else but streets a whole other animal
michael shamesaldin i get what you meant, its also a bit of luck, hes lucky his dad got him into racing early while being a pro himself. I just got my first manual car in my late 20s, but if i had gotten it in at least my early 20s, i would be a much better driver than i am today. I just wasn’t as lucky as some people are, and i kind of loafted at the same time.
He was able to control it because he had 600hp at the touch of the accelerator and all wheel drive that is adjusted to make up difference of power to the differentials exactly for moments like those . If he was in an actual race , his driving wouldnt have been that reckless...and a lot more tought to the racing line and curve exits would have been given .
Its set up exactly they way its supposed to be for this track with a crazy suspension so the handling of this car is amazing, its not a goddamn chevy truck
@@alberttonson3191 yeah but rally cars these days has that weird sequential shifts that i dont like though. not like in the era of Collin with his Subaru back in the days
Damn, how old do you have to be to drive there? I got my license at 16, and my “learner’s permit” at 15- and in at least a couple of states, you can get your license at 15 (unless that has changed over the past couple of decades).
valdek the kõuts Im no expert, it said it was a supercar in the title so i just went with it. But i think the definition of a supercar is quite disputed. The FIA world rallycross championship said this on their website refering to the rally cars as supercars: "Rallycross is a combination of rallying and circuit racing. It is head-to-head short, sharping racing on mixed surfaces (dirt and asphalt) contained within amphitheatre venues. High profile drivers are equipped with RX Supercars with over 600bhp and the ability to accelerate from 0-60mph in less than two seconds - faster than an F1 car."
and then there are my friends that just got their license and drive straight into a tree just because they think driving fast is easy...mad respect to this dude
Big clap to his father for giving his son the best support he can give..His son should be thankful for that..alot of kids doesn't get this type of support...
@@Victor-my1hi Bruh... How could he NOT have a driving license if he drives a rally car and gets second place in this event, at 17. Pretty sure you have to have a driving license to do that.
@@omggom2488: Well, a major part of your success in racing starts by actually having the money to start racing. Whilst anyone can start playing basketball and develop their talent.
Fastest or not, this is THE MOST entertaining run I have seen (in my opinion) I really wish people would be as fearless as this man when doing runs, although some cars are worth a little to much to do that... i feel it would bring so many more people to the runs and show
Pancouver venguins .... no.. im just smarter than you i guess... find a tunnel that splits in two if you can and pic one.. if you hear them on the other side stop and wait.. when the fly away go.. go fast.. done..
Kid's got real talent. I also like the choice in vehicle. Short wheelbase, relatively loose rear suspension. You can get all out of sorts in those kind of cars.
If I'd been given that car at 17 I would currently be in an urn on my parents mantelpiece. I don't even fancy my chances now and I've been driving longer than he's been alive. Awesome ability. I look forward to seeing more from this lad.
would expect nothing less of peter's son. some kids are just born lucky. I was born with an alcoholic abusive dad but i didnt let that get in the way of me obtaining my phd in pure mathematics and leading a successful career at ORNL. Never let other's success demotivate you from your own.
You know those anime series where somehow the most elite students in the high school are invited to world exclusive events and competitions and absolutely dominate? That is basically Oliver at Goodwood lol
@@j.s.p Totally agree. Who will you be supporting lol. Two excellent talents hard to choose a guy to support. I just want to see them intruced to a team as soon as possible. They have earned there stripes. The sooner a team like Toyota get Rovanpera signed the better. Oliver maybe to M sports for first season. Like Oliver was 5th for a good stretch off the Rally in Estonia with a r5 car. I hope bosses are taking notice. I shore would if I was a team principle. With cars going electric I'm not happy but I'm convinced they will still ne as quick as the current cars. Cant wait for these 2 talents to get signed up sooner the better.
james roche Exactly my thoughts! I personally support Kalle Rovanperä a bit more, but Oliver Solberg is certainly one of the guys to watch in the near future (2-3 years time).
Man, I wish my dad put me into this stuff. The average kid could only dream of being in a race like this. Imagine how much talent we would have, if anyone interested could try.
Ngl I kinda feel sorry for his driving instructor, I imagine his first lesson going like: "Ok so there is the clutch,... hey wait let me show you everything dont start the car yet,... YO THATS A 30 ZONE YOU'RE GOING 100"
@@Xenos_AR he spins around a cone 10.000 times before he get's it right and than posts it on YT for pee stained 12 year olds to get crazy. He made a big fool of the WRC by proving that any moron with big money can join it. He crashed in a season more times than all the other drivers combined. He's a joke for any real professional race car driver and he get's treated that way by them.
