Race Driver Reacts to MASSIVE Rally Moments 

The "Samir, please" thing is a bit more complicated. Lets put it this way, they are both good at what they do, well, for local rally but it was very, very difficult day. The driver has been doxxed and harrassed because of that video... So it is a bit sad case of things taken a bit out of context. I think he stopped racing after the memes came out. Don't take my words as a fact, i could be remembering somethings wrong but i haven't felt great watching those clips anymore. They kind of ruined someones passion.

Well if you lived in Finland you could rally anytime

You should watch Subaru Rally team Usa's Launch Control. It has magnificent rallys

@@Naman.Khivsara I do.. but one still needs a car and closed road for it..

@@squidcaps4308 well there are many deserted roads

Rallye drivers also laugh when they pass someone, they passes are more fun than in circuit racing.

@@dosescopetastengo6581 he knows it, in rally if u pass someone it means u made much better time than guy ahead of you and that does put a smile on your face.

@@dosescopetastengo6581 you're an idiot that's taking the word "pass" completely wrong in this entire scenario. They know you can't pass for position like in course racing. But that does not mean you cannot pass someone in a rally race.

@@dosescopetastengo6581 you're an idiot. You don't understand what we are saying. Reread what we've all said. Maybe you might smarten up

@@dosescopetastengo6581 I've got to say you're in the wrong here. They know you can't pass for a position on the course because it's all based on chrono, what they're saying is that if one driver is much quicker on a stage than another and so "passes" them physically on a stage i.e. drives past them, it must be funny because you aren't supposed to be able to do that normally

Haha ,the story goes it was the first rally after a long injury break for the driver. So he was out of shape.And the pace note calls were different than he was used to. The full stages are online so it wasn't that bad. Just when pieced together it's hilarious.

What's hilarious is that Samir is a fairly decent rally driver. He won a few stages and even almost won the Indian Rally Championship

@@DrSabot-A Was he having a bad day? Or are the other Indian Rally drivers just really bad?

@@michaelsteffensen6844 He had a long break from rally due to some injury, so maybe that affected his skill? Maybe, i dont know

9:36 MEDIUM LEFT!

Bruhh😂😂

Damn if that's true, what an insane story. Still, it cracks me up every time 😂

@@fullselfcontrol The story seems to check out. The original video published by the driver is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0BTrEt6scwQ.html

That is a wild story!! Damn. Still funny though

Ur comment has completed this video. Thanks man

Rally spectators are built differently! Absolute nutters

Spectators can be a moron that they are there to ruined a race driver from doing their job. It's like some idiot came to my painting and ruined it by scratching it and ran away.

i w 💕🤷🏼‍♂️💕

Or dumb standing on the outside of corners is just dumb. Theres no other way to put it.

5:18 didn't give it a good enough Scandinavian flick. Or the rear wheels would have came around like the next one

'Hello cousin!

Check out walther röhrl in his audi. Absolute legend

Nice description of colin mcrae

Chris ???

Not much!

@@peterlewis4199 hahahaha i love the 9:30 mark when the codriver screams MEDIUM LEFT SAMIR 5 times 😂😂😂😂

S E N D I T

9:49 this driver: Divorce time!

It's still moving forward right? Everything is fine

🇮🇳🔱

Samir be like: "Haha god's car goes brrrrrrrr"

This also applies to literally every offroad racing discipline. Desert racing, dakar, rock racing, etc. Those are all extremely common occurrences.

my favorite part about rallying is that they crash the same way i do in video games XD

@Blaze Temp why u mad?

@Blaze Temp lol ok boomer

Yeah, I feel the same but with woodworking. Regards, Etna.

Happens to me to many years ago practicedriving with my father, I was late out and took that 90° turn to fast and had to drive on two wheels for 30-40 meters after that, my father wasn't that happy afterwards, neither the time we drove on a small gravel road and I was comming in to fast so the car started to wobble and I drove 20 meter offroad on the right side before I crossed the road again and drove 15 meters offroad on the left side an 10 meters more on the right side untill I finally got in on the road again, after that he still let me på drive with him but I wasn't allowed to drive as fast as before when I practice, but he knew that I had bought my own car 4 years before I was allowed to practice drive for the driverlicense and drove arround on small lone gravelroads and on winter ice I never drove that car inside town before I got the license,, but I guess it wouldn't work in todays world without anybody of our neighbours in the village or some others will call the police, I had a friend that did the same so we came in two cars 14 years old when the age to start practicing was 18 then.

Anders Persson how old were you when this happened?

My dad teaching me to shift was brutal. My folks never actually taught me hot to drive, I had friends let me drive their vehicles and my dad teaching me to drive stick. I stalled it twice and never got another chance till I got a job working on hydrocavs and I then had to teach myself how to shift in a Peterbilt.

sammee brooo lmao

Yeah!

They're rallying in the air.

I wouldn't say the pilots as much as the cameramen that have to keep the rally car in frame without directly controlling the helicopter

Also check out the guys mustering cattle with helicopters

It's actually only one pilot, I Marshall on the WRC & I've seen that guy put that helicopter places you wouldn't think you could fly a done!

level tone is a bit of a cultural thing lol have you ever heard Carlos' Sainz co-driver? Good god you'd swear he was having a seizure. Then you have the Finns. That's a whole other subject but they sound almost bored. I love the Finns :) And then there is that amazing moment when Colin was having a particularly Colinesque moment and Nicky Grist interjects "for f*** sake listen to me Colin" in the level tone you mention, and straight back to the pace notes. They had an off later in that rally and when Colin was asked what happened he spat out, sounding as Scottish as a person could "I don't know, why don't you ask the Welsh Wizard over there" with a nod of the head to Nicky:D

Just look at the notes and enunciate and hope it works out. I could do this easy I have plenty of experience doing this riding passenger in my GF's car. Looking at directions on my phone, look up "oh a city bus is about to pulverize us" look back down at directions " I hope that works itself out"

Level tone? I scream at Jan sometimes when we get in trouble.. Still though. I love my driver :) And we just race a fucking Volvo Amazon... :p

thats because majority of youtubers are american, or went to school in america, and in america we use the wonky imperial system. 5280 feet in a mile. wtf.

Ngl i was sitting here converting his 1.5 metres to 5 feet. Im british, i was taught metric at school but i much prefer imperial, dont know why but i do

@@cautixon 5280 yikes!

@@Sak-zo1ui oh shit sorry i was thinking about something else when i wrote this and got the numbers messed up xd

@@Sak-zo1ui wouldve gotten it wrong anyways get cause i was thinking of 5260

TRIPLE CAUTION STAY CENTER! TRIPLE CAUTION STAY CENTER! C’mon Sammy you can do it!

CONCENTRATE!! YOU ARE DESTROYING THE CAR, SAMI!!!

Dont tell me how to drive

@@ferrari2k it's "Samir", not "Sami"!

@@kanetidus nah

Rally spectators are just suicidal.

@@HekateMGO lmaooooo

@@HekateMGO and it's awesome to see them cars pass by so close!

@@HekateMGO check Group B stages, spectators back then were really crazy

Even if you have, even if you need I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed We could plant a house, we could build a tree I don't even care, we could have all three Thats the really breed. By nirvana.

It is more like... Mechanic: Your car is perfectly fine, stop slacking and push it harder! We are trying to win here!

Do you think this is how a mechanic talks to his driver? Are you 12?

@@cm0cm it’s a joke my man

Frr

That's a great comment. They should add this guy to the next game.

Oh I thought his name was Samir

SubZero it is

with a keyboard.

Cause you make the best compilations

Best compilations are made by you only

goat at this compilations man! keep it up!

Thanks for the compilation. What's the story with the last vid with the guy not driving so good lol

Bc you re the best dude

If you make many many mistakes it would be actually great :)

Don't you ever hear the co-driver tut or sigh when you cock it up in Dirt Rally? It's a very subtle sound, but it's there.

Rally Trophy is pretty much like that

So much yes!

@@tSp289 I'm not too proud to admit I have indeed heard that. My initial response was: "Don't tell me how to how to drive." :D

It really sounds like it's his dad, and that it's also his dad's car.

well Iook who I found

Group B was hell on wheels

In a vacuum group B is debatably the golden era of rally, but if you take into consideration the multiple deaths of drivers and spectators, as well as factor in that the groups regulation was kept at a minimum for profit, it starts losing a bit of it's appeal.

No time for thinking, just do

Oh, for sure

Do you mean autopilot?

Can confirm, when driving like a maniac you are in the zone, no thoughts or anything

Its called sisou. Mika Hakkinen once mentioned about this on an episode of topgear. Keiichi Tsuchiya also spoke about this fearless driving many times. Once u feel it, its like a drug. Ur mind is warped into a different mode. This is what makes the best drivers. People who can push past the limit.

Best roads.

It's a normal road in Europe (maybe a little tight) we are used to drive to.

@@ciano5475 which part Europe. The East side or the West side

@@dr.science_0177 Dr Science forgot north and south.

european roads are much narrower than north american roads because they were originally planned and built hundreds (sometimes thousands) of years ago before cars existed. most were walk paths and pretty much the widest thing they had to account for were horse drawn carts. that's still somewhat true for older north american cities like new york, but out here in a modern urban planned city like LA even the narrowest road is usually wide enough to comfortably fit two lanes of traffic plus parking.

Screaming at me so I don't crash and die

There needs to be a mode for co pilots where they'll scream and shout when they feel you're being reckless or going too fast

SAMIR YOU’RE BREAKING THE CAR

@@andrewmamarella905 "right 4 long into left 3, left 2 opens into right 6, right 5 into left 4 don't cut, left 5 int- *slam* "I said DON'T cut!"

I wish I could put Samir in a Group B car XD

I heard that. Guess I’ve been watching too much rally..

That's a Finnish specialty. It's even better in the dark.

wrc is not a hot hatch. hot hatch would die after 1 km of this kind of driving

Certainly they need the most customized seats to accommodate their huge brass balls. That much is hard to argue.

Is it that unpoplur though?

All the proof you need is how easily Sebastien Loeb was able to adapt to open wheel racing. His first run in an F1 car was impressive too. But then again Seb Loeb isn't human...

@@TheStargov I feel like it is because when people talk about the best drivers they talk about F1 and WEC drivers never really rally drivers

This is 110% true. Their skills are unmatched.

Obviously it has much torque when the gearing is short luke on every reverse gear

That's the one thing you want on tractor, torque.

@@Bartooc and cupholders

Hilux is a battle car

It's not a car, it's a truck

@@juanadorno1975 ok BOOMER HA GOT YOU

@@juanadorno1975 Shadup! (But you're right)

Meanwhile SAMIR : Shat ap......

A rally car flings itself into the air and lands gracefully. Samir's co-driver: HEAVY BREATHING.

Shudop

SAMIR YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME I AM HOLDING A NOTEBOOK

listen, I need to concentrate on the track. can I put my annoying co-driver on mute for the time being...?

medium left medium left. MEDIUM LEFT!!! *M E D I U M L E E E E F T!!!!!!* _looses shit in the process_

Everyone was 😂

Is that real? because that notebook looks blank

Can't believe I hadn't seen it... seems like everyone else has!

@@sTIc726 It's real

@@sTIc726 it's cuz the video quality was total shit

The full video can be seen at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cxDz0Z066NI.html - the image quality is pretty poor because that's from 1983. Note the gear stick and I think those cars didn't have power steering either.

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was Kubica!

@@rodrigohonorio no not Kubica i thought it was either Hanamaru Kunikida or Maldonado 😂😂😂

I thought he looked like Webber too! Like a young Mark Webber.

Shuddap

He looks more like Abraham Lincoln to me.

That was crazy

@Rachel Wood I would have him as my GPS voice if it were possible.

He's an option for RBR.

Why backslash though?

Thank God!!! One of the most famous saves in rallying history & this guy didn't even know it was Ari! He had done big shunts but he was & still is amazing behind the wheel.

@@beardeddragster yeah I was a little surprised he didn't know who that was. Almost a little bit off putting that someone involved in motorsport didn't acknowledge being in the presence of royalty

@@gnashings I have to agree with you. I mean even if you aren't the slightest involved with Rallying, the names like Toivonen, Vatanen, Gronholm, McRae & Clark are names which everyone knows. It's the same with F1 drivers. Makes me question who this guy is as to be honest his face doesn't ring a bell

@@beardeddragster I thought he was Damon Hill's kid... but I may be wrong, can't check atm

@@beardeddragster probs considering its onboard and you can’t really identify an almost 40 year opel onboard cam with the mention of no names or even helmet names😂

Have you seen the edited version of the clip where the copilot's "keep it together" is looped a couple times. It's fucking hysterical.

It threw me off for a second lol

Shadup!

While that is a widespread belief, it is actually false. Most of them are behind the wheel for the very first time

well pretty much anyone can just buy a car and enter a rally event. It can be quite 'cheap' (compared to any motorsport), so the entry barrier is minimal.. But you cant compare those low level races with the top level rallying..

sounds like a fricking lion

Wow did not know that

Yeah I’m on the co drivers side. That video showed a driver ignoring his co driver which for rally can get both killed

I knew him (Vivek Ponnusamy) from the days when he used co-drive for Karamjit Singh back in 2011. He and Karamjit were competing in Malaysian Rally Championship, I was a spectator back then.

The article doesn't have the best writing style sadly.

The video it's not fake, it'san extract of a 40 minutes video that Samir uploaded to his own webpage. I don't know if the "compilation" was with malicious intent or just for fun, but it's not a fake video

Didn't want to get demonetised.

I've seen that clip before. Not sure if it's true but I remember hearing that it was Ari Vatenen, the wall either blew the tyre or bent the wheel & he carries on driving full chat. Guy was a beast :)
