While playing Dirt Rally 2 Mills sounds more like, “6 left over crest 150, keep right over crest into a major accident, roll over and continue to left 6, tightens to 1 into 130 mph into oak tree, terminal damage, well done.”
Of course Petter is one of the best rally drivers ever and he demonstrates why in this clip, but Phil Mills... wow! The amount of information he has to deliver in the right tempo, over the rough, bumpy terrain and huge jumps and not even a crack! With all of the information Petter has in his notes. I sometimes find it hard just to follow, never mind hurtling through one of the hardest and most testing stages in the entire WRC! Well done, one of the best driver and co-driver duo ever!
@@krt_ds Moya said that it was Sainz who liked all that info about any single corner o part of the track!! Same for Phill Mills. He needed to be that good in order to display the info Solberg wanted/needed
@@krt_ds. I must say I’m not able to follow the championship nowadys. So I can’t say. But back in the day….less security, wild cars, worse equipment…they sure deserved their credit as much as the modern ones at least… cheers
Here is the cleanest 15 minute stage I've seen and I've been playing Dirt Rally and can barely make it through a 4 minute stage without spinning out or flying off the road. Not to mention he is constantly accelerating while I am being cautious. Absolutely mind blowing.
+youreallthesame haha i totally know what you're talking about ^^, after i''ve done a 10 minute stage im fucking exhausted, can't do more then 2 or 3 of those in a row hehe..
Well I’m sure Luis Moya was the best ever as Sainz had not the best memory and every corner needed a whole book to be described for Sainz... But Mills was probably one of the best ones as well...
+Jarmo Jokijärvi did they connect the courses up, cos I know petter Solberg got the time for a long time due to the organisers splitting this course up to two for safety reasons
I want you to get in this 300BHP rally car and read these complex and extremely difficult pace notes to the driver as he drives through a forest and over huge jumps at 120mph.If you make one mistake it's all over big style and it's your fault. Any questions? ...eerrr...
@ 16:24 you know the adrenaline levels were super normal when the brain calls the tire a moose! What a champion. always an honour to watch and learn as a piece of rally history was made. Beautifully orchestrated
Phil Mills turned Luis Moya mode on this. He (Mills), Nicky Grist, Luis Moya, Kaj Lindström, Stephane Prevot, Marc Marti, Denis Giraudet, Timo Rautiainen and Ilka Minor are the best co-drivers in WRC.
One of the best onboards I have watched. Its great to see Petter back with a factory team now, hopefully he can set this pace more often now, and challenge the likes of Loeb again.
Everybody:"F*****g hell! This is intense. We'd better concentrate and look where we're going." Peter Sollberg: "Let's take my eyes of the road and fiddle with this button." 🙈
Last person I heard that had this much command in their voice as a navigator was Gareth Roberts. This says much for what he had to offer to the WRC ... we all still miss U ma ....
I watch this quite often, and i always try to follow Phils Pacemotes. And i fail :) Pettr even has time to ask a second time at around 8:45. I can't wuite imagine what must be going on in the heads of Rallye Drivers. GET'S FASTER NOW ;) 6:20
I love that special expresion on Petters face. Fully concentrated and totally relaxed at the same time. The polar opposite of Travis Pastrana (who I also admire). Travis always looks like he's expecting a tremendous crash any second...
Finland is one of those stages that you can just hold the throttle for a loooong time, without letting off too much. Lots of 5 and 6 turns on this one in particular.
Is Mills seriously differentiating between 10m when he announces 60 instead of 50 for example? That's actually pretty insane precision given the speed and relentlessness of the situation.
by 230meters actually.. and the other record is for highest average speed for a stage in wrc history which also stands at 129.52 kmh which resulted in all the changes based on the stage given that petter broke the limit which the FIA had in place for average stage speeds.
I've watched this famous onboard drive in full countless times over time, yet only today I noticed the stranded road side car at 5:37 for the first time.
If you follow WRC news they WILL enter the WRC because i've read they are trying to homologate the yaris chassis as a wrc car, and they are developing a 1.6 turbo engine to go into that car., its just a matter of time before they join, although i doubt it will be any time soon
So we Norwegians found Solberg's English to be a source of comedy because he often conflates words between the languages. For those of you who watched the whole thing, he is saying that "he had a bad vibration in the moose", which is... well, weird. But, the Norwegian word for 'rim' is 'felg' and the English word for 'elg' is 'moose'. Worth a chuckle and classic Solberg.
When Toyota and VolksWagen enter the WRC next year it will have more interesting battles going on because of the expanded driver line up and probably more competition
@6:15 "turn cut short hairpin left...Get faster now...FLAT 6 right plus over the crest, 60.." as if it wasn't fast enough before....OUNINPOHJA IS AWESOME !!!!
Proper rally car not boy racers you see trying to be tough.This is the real deal man and machine .Subaru when they were at their finest .Flat now as Mills uses to say it
