Kalle Rovanperä VS Jari-Matti Latvala @ RALLYLEGEND 2022 

I would also say that new generation drivers can be better than old ones. They can get proper equipment and opportunities at a younger age, more practice, better training knowledge, better nutrition even. As athletic performances like running are getting better and better, but not only because better shoes

@ Well, I don't know if they are better than the old masters at their peak. I just know that top drivers at any era can adapt to any car. The practice aspect is not so clear either. Testing was pretty much unlimited in the 80s. Mostly dependent on the budget. I remember one particular interview with Walter Rohrl talking about some ridiculous number like tens of thousands testing km's per season.

pure facts. any of the current winning drivers wouldve been a top driver in any era. its such an unfair judgement to berate them just because they drive in an era of cars you dont like.

@@test-tl8dt not exactly. Given the amount of practice and talent yes, but Group B was totally different beast. Rallies were twice as long as today and those cars really wanted to kill you...and they did. So maybe not all modern drivers wouldn't had guts to drive at the limit.

@@NightwishArena He said that any of the winning (!) modern drivers would've been a top driver in any era. That's to say, the likes of Rovanperä, Ogier, Loeb, Tänak, Neuville... I also have the argument that today's shorter, sprint rallies lead to drivers pushing more to the limit as they don't have to ensure their cars will last the insane amount of kilometers the rally lasts, but even then they still have to manage their own pace to avoid damages and, for sure, to avoid making costly mistakes such as taking wider lines by pushing too much. But pushing the car, I'm sure, is a more difficult skill to have and develop, and that's the modern drivers' most common thing. Thus drivers like Loeb and Ogier would particularly excel in such kind of rallies, as they are too good at carefully (old) pushing a lot (modern). They are like the perfect balance of skills. Would modern drivers in general have the balls, though? To begin with, this is not about "modern" or "old drivers," but about people, of any era, in general. So, some would, some would not. A brainlet nostalgic would say that "they would be pussies if they don't," but such idiots would undoubtedly risk their lives for nothing, thinking they are being brave - but there's a thin line between bravery and outright stupidity.

Well Kalle was in the show class...

Yep, you can definetely see Jari-Matti drove for the victory and Kalle for the show. Nothing wrong with either way.

❤😂❤

😂🙏😁😂😂😂

Ultimate rally driving flex

He wouldn't have won because he was starting within untimed "STAR" category, only for show. JML won the timed "CLASSIC" category.

@@Ariskot007 Yes, I know that, but if times had been taken on all drivers, it would probably have resulted in a win for Kalle. 😁

Latvala was faster tho.

in this event nobody cares to win because the main motivation they’re there is to make entreteinment for the spectators and to have fun… there’s no reason to go for the win

With those donuts Kalle was intendly not there to win it but to make the show ...

@@toothlessaggression1892 lol I thought kalle was driving the red car 😂

@Robert Brolo Boss latvala was

Yes, Latvala Celica is a 185st, Kalle Celica is a 165st.

@@joancarlesvadillo7652 Wrong way around; Kalle drove a ST185 and Jari-Matti drove a ST165

@@JJBruce_ thanks, i was wrong with car's driver 🙏

Prachtig!

J-M Latvala drives the red/white and Kalle Rovanperä drives the yellow Toyota GT4. Both cars come from JML-Team Jari-Matti Latvala Team Finland. 👍
