Ken Block’s All-GoPro Cossie V2 Raw Onboard Footage: Irish Tarmac Rally Madness, Stage 13: Knockalla 

Ken Block its insanely good!

That was so RIVETING, I love these SO much. Also, that view is PERFECT!!!

Ken I really like this vid but do a vid on like decoding what hes saying 😂😂 I really want to know what all the things hes saying means

aw hells yeah. like the good ol days of Speedvision/GreenlightTV. :)

Yes, yes and more YES!

Atom Videos 9 hrs? You gotta get those numbers up. You are way behind schedule.

Hahahahaha so relatable

Must be from an African family

@@Dan_Therapist nop..african families are always late... me being one...never been on time even once and never missed a plane... one time had to run all the way from the parking to lot to the plane...with few seconds brake at the security and check in desks

Ivan Kulola I felt that😂

Right 4 plus: A right turn which is best to run through with gears higher than 4 50 60: Length

saeed atenzi I thought the big numbers were angles

@@duckswearinggloves305 length. You can tell especially when the co driver is calling out numbers like 180 200 etc

@@hegedusrobi1555 January 2, 2023, Ken Block died at age 55 in a snowmobile accident near his ranch in Woodland, Utah. The Wasatch County sheriff's department reported that Block had been riding in the Milly Hollow area when his snowmobile upended on a steep slope and landed on top of him. Block was declared dead at the scene of the accident

KB43VER. R.I.P legends.

Still cant believe he's gone :(

He was NOT the best at it, or even in the ballpark.

@@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettinwell he was easily one of the most gifted drifters ever. So there’s that. Don’t talk shit about a dead man’s legacy

Don’t confuse sentiment with fact. Ken Block was not one of the best rally drivers ever. Ken Block WAS one of the most talented guys you would ever see when hooning about. His car control and entertainment factor was off the charts, probably the best person to ever sell his talent as pure visual entertainment. Sadly, though, he was not actually the best rally driver, just a fantastic driver who could put on a great display. Rally driving at the absolute pinnacle looks just like the driving in the video, but there is 1% more added that shaves a second or two off the time, something that you and I, and other mere mortals like you and I, are unable to discern let alone replicate. RIP Ken Block, one of the most ENTERTAINING drivers we have ever seen. Not the best rally driver though, .. far from it.

it appears the camera or maybe the lense is mounted on some tricky suspension that stabilises the picture like a gyroscopic setup or something

Thanks computer technology for doing what you do. I think it's pretty normal for people to not thank objects

Maybe you are new to the world of action sport cameras

There are many AI-based programs for video stabilization, it's not even that inaccessible to normal people, hell, even your phone probably has a level of stablization and even youtube itself has an AI to help with shaky cameras.

Shhh looks like a videogame

not underrated at all, just under-populated

Its not that dangerous think of the isle of man tt its under rated

"WRC is for boys, group C was for men"

Have you seen isle of man tt??? That is on another level

Rally is dangerous but is a car with 16 points roll cage. Max out maybe 130 mph...still scarry fast on the roads and conditions they race in. But isle of man can touch 190-200mph+ on motorcycle w/o roll cage and someone always died each year....Yeah isle of man is the most bat shit insane things I can think of in form of racing.

Bro, that's so lit & gangsta 🔥

A co-driver's job ain't easy!

Glad to see he's getting some respect

They should put kens co-driver in a good rally sim game cuz he's excellent! Good timing, useful details, clear pronunciation, good energy. I can imagine its a huge help when driving like a madman. I cant help but feel like in real life, a good co-driver literally saves lives.

@@KenBlockHHIC Right!? he can't even look at the road! He has to just trust you. YOU! Oh dear. . .

@@KenBlockHHIC Thanks for the like, wasn't expecting it! But everything I said is true - tracking progress, calling the turns from reading the notes AHEAD of you getting there - that's some next-level skills. Trying to keep up with him made the clip for me. 👍👍👍👍

The thing is even ken is not in the top 20 rally driver in his prime

@@roberttaylor7396 yeah but Ken shows us the beauty of the sport, so we appreciate him.

What was he saying ? I could hardly understand

@@QlueIess basically, he was telling Ken what the road looks like ahead, which way the next turn is and its tightness, how long, how much speed, announcing crests, chicanes, (potential) jumps, etc...

Best comment 😎

This comment gave me small anxiety flashbacks

@Jake Heke Mom joke soooo fuuunnnnnyyyyy!

good one

yeah that left 3 minus at the end there came just before he saw the corner, which is kinda late

omg you really did understand what he said? I only got like 5%...

codyyim1 sounded like he was reading a math problem the whole time to me 😂

@@codyyim1 Its really not that hard.

@@bo0pup156 like listening to a math professor trying to explain statistics, calculus, quantum physics, college algebra, and math that hasn't even been created yet all at the same time within 5 minutes expecting you to understand what's going on when you are struggling with simple addition. At least that's how I felt.

Lol hes not going 190 mph.

@@name-zn2uu 130 on that straight maybe

The 6-speed 1991 Cossie can only reach 120 and that’s with a professional rally driver so probably 110 or 115 at most

Lol. 190 mph

5 people got the big r/wooosh

I think he said "trimmed bush". Which is a hedge, but whatever

“Passenger”

György Mohl u r right

Co-Driver*

not sure if joke or not but just to be safe: the driver dictates those notes so when the navigator says the green bush the driver will know which one

xD thanks for the laugh

You had me laughing out loud at "4 plus", I lost it at "pastaalaforno" haha

Do I have to solve a math question everytime I start my car?

Can some help me understand why the man on the right kept on doing math?

@@johnrovicgerong433 Pace Notes..those right or left followed by a number indicates the severity of the corner, for example, a Right 6 is a gentle right hander while a Right 1 is more severe and acute right would be the severest. The other numbers indicate the distance for which the corner is about to go on and so on and so forth. It's read in advance by the co-driver so that the driver can form a mental picture of the track up ahead and react accordingly. Co-drivers dont look out of the window to see which turn it is. They literally feel the road through the seats and gauges which corner just passed and at what speed or angle.

Samir you have to concentrate

I wish more people knew about that Samir video 😂😂

shut up 😂😂

"Shat up don't tell me how to drive"😂😂

Sadly samir didn't listen and broke the car

and set your manager as co-driver, maybe? 😄

And boss is as co driver

Six-point harness for max safety

yea

Pretty much rally car now are like group b cars but with restriction, less power and safer. But once you drive for a while you get used to it,rally drivers in the first days they gotta scope out the track before going flatout for bumps and sneaky big rocks. i wish they make a prototype rally division like group b but in a safer way.

Ha, just like anything it comes with lots of practice and commitment. Heavy on the commitment side... but that's why I love rally.

@@benjaminfranklyn604 todays rally car faster then group B car and far safer. Even thow they are not as powerfull (guetting closer and closer by the years) they made so much progress in suspention, tyre, transmission and aero that they outperform group B car. And I don't think we will ever see the crazyness of group B ever again. Even thow the car were crazy, they cut so many corner to make them faster, that they were risquing the lives of the pilots and the public, and the car were very expensive. All and all even thow I am a fan of motorsport and those car where amazing, I am happy with what we have right now

@@edgarjoffre8838 modern wrc2 car is more expensive than a group B car btw.

@@Tom-pe3zf and at 6:20

They fuckin used to. :( They used to also show 10-20 minute onboards, with co-driver audio. Stuff you actually wanted to see, instead of helicopter shots from 500 feet up and people crashing.

Bad for advertisers. The cars body is a big billboard for them.

228Ghost228 Most footage is of the cars flying by. The exterior gets plenty of exposure.

Well...it's Kenn wanabe WRC driver, cam id positioned only to make you think he can acctually drive as WRC proffessional.

@@The_Touring_Jedi i mean, from the video it appears that he is

If you take another listen too, you'll hear some parts have different tones and levels - which acts as a caution for a big braking zone, or a big commitment.

@@KenBlockHHIC At 10:01 his voice is really funny when he says "chicaaaaaane", probably because you're at top speed 50ft away from it

Alex's accent just soothes my souull

@@dgasparetti Lol! I came in here to comment on this as well! I think Alex had doubts! :D

@@KenBlockHHIC Your co-driver kinda reminds me of Nicki Grist-he used to read notes to Colin Mcrae with same calmness.And your performance was downright insane and crazy fast.

Rally drivers go through the stage once before their actual attempt so they can make the pace notes. But yeah, rally drivers are insanely good at their job.

@@user-wl1yt4mu7t I see but yes 100%, mad skills!

We'll yeah it's a terrifyingly dangerous sport and the driver can not possibly remember all the turns, distances, topology and road conditions. That's why they have a co-driver, otherwise they'd have to go about half the speed to safely complete the stage.

Peter Pumpkin Eater I mean they usually don’t repeat the notes unless the driver request it

Peter Pumpkin Eater for safety reasons

AFAIK co-drivers say the word "care" or "caution" before any dangerous turns, as well as "don't cut" or just "don't" as heard a couple times in this run when there's not enough time.

because he wants to stay alive...

Vladimir Melixetyan I’m sayin😂😂

@SennaFan what r u talking about ? its is overrated as fuck indeed!

@SennaFan formula 1 had been shit for years now

@SennaFan nah youre Senna's fan, if u cant see that by yourself by now theres no point in trying to convince u otherwise really, no one especially if uve been watching it since 92 :/

It used to be the 80s-90s were the golden years of rally

You'd also get more tickets.

@@Gonzo.S.Thompson hooning is not a crime

Wt ds it mean?

@misty akon, lets bump that escort entry up to 61 with Ken at the helm.

It's gotta be a mk2 escort. Or his rs200

One of the things that always put me off watch rallies in those days is the fact they only ever showed small parts of the track, it always just felt more like a news report/highlight reel, than actually a race. Rally POV is so much more interesting and gives a much better showcase of the skill of these drivers.

@@godtrader6102 absolutely agree here! It’s my favorite way to watch rally racing now

Props to the driver I don't know why people keep saying co-driver. Of course the co-driver has a very important job but the driver has more importance

@@HappyTurtleGod idk man the co-driver is who both of their lives depend on

@@HappyTurtleGod they both would be dead on half of those bends if co-driver would have it wrong. Their roles are different, but they couldn't do it without each other, not at this speed.

That's oddly specific

@@Ricky-1 I want to believe that all Drivers are best friends with their Co-Driver

Nobody knows what the cost driver said😂😂

Stfu...

My lady is Irish and we live together. This is me when her daughter is staying out for the evening.

Team O'Neil Rally School has a great video about stage notes in a rally! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-earjqfXGYzw.html

If you do some looking around you can see some really good co drivers vs some not so good ones

Every Driver and Co driver have their own dialect. You can watch videos for the basics but the driver may ask for a different style. As an example, the standard call in here would be into, where the co driver is simply saying in.

I understand what you're saying, sometimes it seems more confusing than what it is. The +/- messes with me till I remember it means elevation change.... - for down hill, + for up hill

go play dirt 4 you will understand very soon what those calls mean lmao

I don't I appreciate it I worship it

His voice is sweeter than honey

Loooooong

LooonGA

Sounds Italian to me :)

Andreas Ek that section is pure madness!!!

Seriously I was just staring at the course ahead and my eyes just turned to a fixed stare at that part haha

Wanted to be a rally racer then my eyes went cross eyed and got carsick and wasn't even in the car lol fuck never mind that idea

My Brain Can't Proses Tht Many Data If My Computer Sure Dead Arealy

not wrong tho lmao

It is

lol

Funniest shit I ever read

Great call bro that made it ten times better

“She came right in front of 50 friends” was one that stood out 🤣👍🏼

Omg omg 😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂 saw this over half way through. Gonna have to start again from the beginning! Lol

There is no camera man its a mount

He wasn't even close to be the fastest.

Ever heard of gimbal?

thats not a gimball, thats the gopro hero 7 with a little bit of zoom, the camara do that movement

GoPro hypersmooth

Chic *aAaAaAa* Aane

That's the result of training, I bet.

I think the really impressive part is how the drivers know how to interpret very general instructions when each corner is different.

@@godtrader6102 they're really not general instructions. Each turn is rated on a scale of 1-6 (1 being sharp). It's no coincidence these guys can confidently go into corners really fast. They know almost exactly what's in front

@@chrisbeaudoin9818 Yeah, but even if you know the degree of the corner, two corners with a similar bend can drive very differently.

The driver set the instruction right ? Or the assistant ?

He's just used to it lmao

maybe if he sits on the back he will xD

5 beers

some people dont get sick reading in cars

@@oolrak Or maybe... Alex is just a beast at what he does.

Good idea

Yea like in Japanese drifting videos!

A bit pointless with a sequential gearbox, once hes on the move the clutch isnt used so it wouldnt be overly exciting... No heel toe action

It would be cool to see how he modulates the throttle through the corners and how he uses left foot braking on straights or turns

its flat foot shifting with no clutch not much dancing going on there.
