The WRC98 finished 3rd in constructors behind the Evo IV/V and Celica GT4. It was the 95-97s that were the immortal ones. The WRC98 was still great, but still lost out.
Men I miss McRae especially since Loab has been dominating and the sad part is, Loeb barely ever does the scandanavian flick, hes like a robot, precise, no mistakes always in the line..Gone are the Ari Vatanen days and Mcrae. Though Jari Latavala is starting to shape up nicely
Unfortunately the cars of today designed to not need any unbalancing to get them around corners. The tech in this day and age is off the charts compared to what it was in the 90s. I dare it's less about the driver and more about the car.
@@Seadweller98116 It's about the driver's desires. There's no way in hell some of those maneuvers McRae did on this video are going to be faster than the cleaner approaches we also saw here. You can see that, on some corners, the road is so narrow that McRae can't do his scandi flicks. So he pulls the handbrake and does a clean and precise turn instead. And if he doesn't need a flamboyant style there, then most definitely he doesn't need it anywhere else. He just likes doing it. Loeb doesn't.
i could watch this all day. fans could stand inches from the cars, such was the skill. sublime. no matter how many times others might be champs, there only one legend. Mcrae.
Shawn H i would have thought by 97 they would have had dump valves to control the deceleration of the turbo, road cars did. If its too violent which is very possible in corsica for example the turbo won't last long spinning at a ridiculously high rpm then suddenly becoming stationery or even spinning backwards briefly as the pressurised air hits the closed throttle and the compressor is still spinning so the boost gets so high it overloads the compressor thus violently decelerating it and putting the turbo, its internals (bearings and blades) under far greater force than they can cope with. Plus it increases the amount of time it takes build boost back up.
Herber Lugo loeb was the precise one, mcrae was flamboyant like vatanen, mcrae would have been very successful in rallycross like solberg, where loeb struggles as he's not aggressive.
#3 was Colin McRae #4 was Piero Liatti Give credit where credit is due. Colin is not the only WRC driver of Subaru and definitely not the best one. Sorry not sorry.
that guy's (BeKozlov90) an idiot, ignore him. WRC, as you've probably found out by now, stands for World Rally Championships. 'WRX' is a moniker used by Subaru to denote a particular version of the Impreza that was loosely based on the 'WRC' version. So while there is no productoin WRC Impreza, the 'WRC' version refers to what was used in the rally championships, unlike the WRX which is a production model. Hope that helps.
