Onboard: WRC driver Neuville FLAT OUT at Spa Rally | Full Chevron Stage 

It was on muddy road. Also the car had classic tyres due to regulation. It finished 5th or 6th overall.

i didn't know you could shift without the clutch

​@@256k_oh man neither did I. Could any racing maniac out there explain this to us?

⁠​⁠@@MrJM540to change gear without the clutch is possible in any manual but much easier with a dog engagement box like this, with no synchromesh. To change up you must slightly lift off the throttle to unload the dogs so you can disengage the gear, then the revs will drop slightly so (hopefully) match the speed for the next gear and slot in, then full throttle again. To change down is the reverse. It’s much easier with completion engines and gearboxes as they tend to have a closer ratios so the engine speed is much closer between gears. Also the engines tend to have much lower rotating mass so can rev up and down much quicker. As I said above, the dog engagement also makes it easier. In reality to change up with a car like this becomes as simple as very quickly lifting partially off the throttle for a split second almost as if your leg twitched, while moving the gear stick firmly to the next gear. You can do it in road cars but it generally takes a lot longer than just changing with the clutch

​@jonathanvoss5168 10/10. Brilliant and concise explanation. Couldn't have said it better myself. 🙃👍

Well why not! Here's one more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Ui4jeR4nZ0.html

@@RobbertAlblas Thanks for these videos, they are breathtaking 😳 Maybe do you havebthe first pass on the SS Theux? Given the type of roads it must be really great to watch!

I'd wondered why he always went through each gear on the way down, then saw he was keeping his left foot on the brake pedal at all times (except for when using handbrake, of course ;) and then realised it was so he could always rely on his rev matching and the dog box ... It's so satisfying to watch, he is so in control. A truly brilliant driver.

A hard mounted GoPro when you properly set it up without hypersmooth and without going for the widest fov possible.

Seems like it’s not just the camera but the whole car- Just floats over every bump without a hint of interior movement- Cloud 9 suspension I presume🤔

He does when he's on the handbrake ;)

Also needs to work on hair pin turns he’s loses alot of time with the first he encounters

What do you expect? It's a powerful RWD car on a slippery surface, it's the first time driving the stage at speed and he's just doing this for fun, no need to push 100% to the limit

​@@marcp.3900I am definitely just an armchair racing fan seeing you guys' comments. You're telling me this French fucker is on the limit already? 😂

He'll be talking into a comms system connected to drivers helmet plus I think this uploader gets his audio from under the bonnet rather than inside cockpit. All his videos seem to have amazing audio of the engine!

@@silvers123 Okay, thanks for answering ! I sometime like to hear what the co-pilot says. Everyone tend to focus on the driver but the other one is so important too

Troll - or a v poor attempt at sarcasm

He's probably some idiot who thinks that when the car loses traction, he's losing time...@@garyrowe58
