0:55 Mk1 Škoda Fabia 1:53 Mk1 Škoda Octavia RS (or normal with RS bodykit) 2:02 In European market it's Mazda 323. In other markets it has a lot of names. Familia, Protege, Allegro,... 3:55 6:05 11:20 Škoda 130 4:09 Seat Ibiza Mk2 4:15 Citroen Saxo 4:42 Škoda Felicia 4:48 Škoda Favorit 5:36 BMW 3-series (316i) Compact (E36) 5:44 Lada (Vaz) 2105 (Riva in RHD markets) 5:50 also 2105, but little bit modified 6:03 I found on internet how to distinguish regular Lancer from Evo. Lancers have circle fuel cap while Evo's have recntagular one Edit on the Lancer/Evo problem. Only on Lancer (9th gen) which is also Evo X you can distinguish by fuel cap. Evo 7-9 are a whole different car compared to pedestrian Lancers. On the 8th gen Lancer you'd have to replace the whole front and rear end with Evo ones to make it look like Evo 7-9 (front/rear lights, front/rear bumper, possibly hood and trunk). Only thing the some on both versions is greenhouse (windshield, rear and side windows, and, incidentally, any pillars separating them) 6:26 Mitsubishi EVO X (10) 9:21 Seat Ibiza Mk3 9:25 Seat Cordoba SX coupe 1st gen facelift 9:35 1997-2002 Ford Puma coupe. Not to be mistaken with 2019+ crossover with same name 9:55 Suzuki Cultus Crescent 10:05 VAZ-2101. Heavily modified and licence-built version of the Fiat 124. They were/are dime a dozen. In the whole production from 1970 till 1988 they made 4.85 million 10:48 Audi B5 A4
Mitsubishi lancers have triangular front lights and are more naked than an Evo. Also Evos have rear spoiler( most trims). Also Lancer comes with 15inch when evos come with 17/18...!
@@619LAzaros I've seen couple of Lancer 10's with EVO X bodykits, so your argument doesn't matter. Fuel cap doors are dead giveaway of what the car is. Previous generations are a whole different car compared to Evo's
9:35 That is Ford Puma from the late 90's and early 2000's. It has 123hp from factory and weighs 2700+ lbs. Mine had a little more power and a lot lighter (2400 lbs+). I had that car for a rally, I sold it over a year ago and it still runs and winning rallys. Little bit abot the cost - car was 500€, bodywork (floor panel welding, both new rocker panels, paint) was 500€, rollcage was 600€, Torsen LSD was 300€ and other parts (new shocks and springs, new brakes, etc.) was another 500€. So ca. 2500€. Rollcage is not mandatory in amateur rally, but it is for safety and stiffens up chassis. Rally event was 50€ (sprint rally) to 250€ (2-day rally 10+ stages). I have some videos about that car at my channel.
3:54 it's škoda 120, similar to škoda 105,130. They were the predecessors of the škoda favorit. Also 7:39 is škoda Felicia, succesor of the favorit and they are really cheap around here
Adding to adam comment, the 120 was rwd and the 130 even compete against some group B cars on 1986. Is a car i like a lot too, the shape of it and it sound with the rear mounted engine
3:55 That's an OG Skoda, before they became part of VAG, if I remember correctly they were rear engined as well, used to see a lot of those in Rallycross growing up, along with VW Beetles and various Simca. The "alien looking car" is a Ford Puma. :P As for the Boxer engines, a lot of other brands used to use them as well, older Alfa Romeo could come with a boxer, like Alfa Romeo 33, obviously VW had the old aircooled ones, but also had some water cooled ones at the end, the "wasserboxer" lik in the VW T3 Transporter. While one could say the Chevy Corvair... it wasn't really a boxer engine, but a flat 6. The explanation I found a while back when I was curious about the differences: (“Flat” and “Boxer” are not the same. With a Boxer engine, the opposing pistons are out at the same time. With a Flat engine, the opposing pistons share a crankpin, so they move in unison versus opposition.)
My initial guess was Wartburg, then I thought Lada but older Skoda fits that idea just as well. Somehow Sowjet influenced cars from that era have a particular look.
@@marty_2336 Between Škoda 105, 120, 125, 130, 135 and 136 is just one difference, the engine, ranging from 1046cc (34kw and 75NM) upto 1289cc (46kw and 100NM). The 742 series, as it was known internaly, was produced between 1976 and 1990 with a facelift, from "Užovka" to "eMko" (don't mix it up with BMW Motorsport division) in 83. There was also a prototype of front engined, front wheel drive 135 as a test base for the upcomming favorit in mid 80s. It was sold in two, respectively three, body configurations. Two were officialy made by Škoda, 4-door sedan mostly called "stopětka" (105) and "stodvacítka" (120) by public, regardless of the engine, with "stopětka being used mostly for "Užovka" and "Stodvacítka" for "eMko". Than there was 2-door coupe officialy called Garde before and Rapid after facelift. These replaced outgoing models 100/110MB (sedan) and 110R (Coupe). The 4-door 742 was sold as Estelle and Super Estelle in the UK and maybe some other western markets. The Rapid also got some unofficial convertible versions mostly converted by Gräf & Stift, Austrian ex-car company.
Notice the exhaust hanging out of the bodywork at the rear of the skoda 120. This is because they suffered from overheating due to the position of the exhaust and this was done to combat it. My dad rallied a skoda 120 and fell victim to this problem. Rebuilt engine into a monster but ran out of funds before he could rally it again.was a shame. Would have liked to see that engine used in anger.
@@andrewgray5945 i grew up with my dad racing in "bilcross" basically the cheap option with stock cars, where he raced a vw beetle. Watching the various Rallycross classes racing after my dad's class was great, a lot of old cars given a new life as a rally car, and still today I see a lot of Volvo 240 and VW Beetles in Rallycross, and being competative still.
So, I think that Subaru at 1:35 is a course car - most rallies have these, where they send it through a rally stage before all the competitors cars to make sure it's clear of any dangers, and safe to compete on. The little silver Suzuki is a late-90s Baleno - Suzuki has a plant in Hungary, so their cars are quite popular in Eastern Europe.
The old car you were wondering about is skoda 120..maybe 130. (called estelle in britain). It was the model that came before skoda favorit. It had rear wheel drive with engine in the back, so its much better suited for racing than newer models. Regarding the affordabilty of amateur rally for regular people, its certainly higher than in other car sports, but its still Very expensive, otherwise i would get my own skoda 120 and drive amateur rally a long time ago. Well its a good thing we have dirt rally 2 and our virtual reality headsets 😊
I love that you watch my favourite amateur rally near my hometown. Thats awesome! Its session for drivers without motorsport licence, that you need in real rally. And you can drive almost any car you want. I think it cost like 500 dollars plus fuel.
Love these "race what you brung" events, with just regular, good drivers in street cars. Cheers & good morning Ian. 3:30 It's a 25yo Mazda 323 Protege, 3:35 I think that's an old Skoda. 9:45 Ford Puma?
that car you loved was old Skoda 120, there are also Skoda Felicia cars too... very popular as they are really cheap and you can get some racing parts like short ration gearbox. Ppl love to race those. Its a successor to the Favorite you drove. There are different classes, thats why you see Evos and STIs and also S. Favorite :) We also have amateur hill climbes! Check those out.
Well, in Europe most Rally cars must be street licensed because stages are driven on regular roads. A short excerpt of the German Wikipedia translated into English by deepl: "A rally is divided into liaison stages on public roads, where all participants must strictly adhere to the applicable traffic regulations (controlled, for example, by specified target times and also by the police), as well as the special stages. On these specially closed roads and tracks (asphalted or on other surfaces, usually gravel, in winter also on snow and ice), each vehicle competes individually against the clock."
It's not just Europe, rally cars need a licence plate everywhere, since they always have to drive on public roads. Even in the USA, where I believe rallies aren't allowed to use paved roads for special stages, for some reason.
Soccer, ice hockey and motor sports (cars, go-carts and motorcycles) are "civic" sports that a lot of "normal" Czechs enjoy, often starting at a very young age.
The Ford Puma was build on the platform of the Ford Ka, the smallest Ford on the European market, smaller than a Ford Fiesta. They planted a 1,7 l inline 4 petrol engine in it. It was fun to drive.
I was watching one of your videos where you had a Citroen Amii and it bought back memories of the old Mini Moke that my brother had in Australia back in the 70's-80's.
Seems to be reaaly difficult road conditions there, even for a snowy road. That thing that looks like a brick, where you say its from the 70s, is most likely a Lada. A Russian build licensed copy of a 70s Fiat model. There are lots still around in Russia, and I think they still make them. Its the poor people's car, for those who can't afford a modern Chinese car or Korean. And its pretty sturdy and easy to repair.
8:10 You hear the engine, this one has better tires. It is not 90 or 100 % stock, but it is more stock than Evo and Impreza before this. And one small detail, most of the Škoda cars in this small part of the video are Škoda Felicia. It is very similar to Favorit. This red one in this time is Felicia. Favorit is predecessor on Felicia.
3:54 , 6:06 and 10:20 That is Rear engine RWD Skoda 130L. 9:26 Most Seat's are basically VW Polo's, Golfs' Jetta's, etc assembled in Spain. 10:05 That is Vaz 2101 named "Jiguly" . Those red 5:45 and white 5:50 bricks are Vaz 2105 named "Lada".
I have been watching your vids for about a year now , and only today i've noticed i haven't subed so sorry for the delay man great reactions. Cheers from Czech Republic also that yellow blue older car is škoda 120 , it was rear engine and it was overheating a lot :D when i was a kid we had that car and everytime we went to visit grandma in a summer the car started to boil water so we had to stop and wait for like 30mins to cool down and if you did not had water with you then you had to walk to nearest village/town for it.
If he really likes the Škodas, he should strat thinking about the import one in the US. For example, 1st generation of Octavia has been made since 1996, so It's over 25 years old and should be theoretically possible to import this one to the US. The Octavia RS with 1.8 petrol engine with 132kw (177hp) is a really nice car. But the rs model was started produced in 2001 :-(
you should check out the "Semperit Rallye" which was big in Austria and even saw Walter Röhrl compete once in the Audi S1 in ´85, it was around the area of Waidhofen a./d. Thaya and today in that area, there´s only the Herbstrallye which is in Dobersberg and because of the CER they have gained some popularity in 2023 as it was used as prep-event by Ott Tänak, Adrien Fourmaux, Roope Korhonen, Nicolas Ciamin, Johannes Keferböck and Albert von Thurn und Taxis
If you want to build up a really capeable Rally Car in the US: Get a really cheap Subaru wagon 2 liter turbo, put it apart completely and buld it up around a cage again without all the crap inside you don't need (only putting a cage in is not safe!), add a good KW suspension, a sidepipe, a pop off/waste gate and a huge intercooler, put the engine cooling in the trunk and the AC out for a good balance, chip it to 320hp and put a fitting Subi 1.6l or lower gearbox in (one that makes max 180 to 190kmh). Then bolt the rear diff together, so it doesn't move and GO! :D When the Clutch brakes, go for a sinter metal clutch. If you need too many short gearboxes, get a sequencial one. That's about it, besides shooting your tires with spikes for winter & a 6 point belt ;) PS: don't change the toe & chamber. If you have too much under in tight uphill corners and at the end of a turn under throttle, add some spacers to the front wheels + make it a little harder than the front. The rest should do the flick and power from flooring it to stay perfectly sideways throughout the hole turn, llike on rails :)
Mazda Protege - sister to our last Ford Laser derivative in Australia. Have a ' patented ' ?, extra door latch/stop, at the bottom of the door jam, to help keep the door in place in an accident - i think.
I have together with my wife. In the years. A Mazda 626 (€250) for almost a year. Hunted through the forest in Putten in the summer. Also an '83 Polo and a Seat Ib? 1.4.
A lot of different skodas like Favorit.. Felicitas octavia.. @13.53cis also an old Skoda..i think an skoda 130 Group A soec original Rally car from the 80s.. Rear engine and RWD
The alien car is a Ford Puma and the very boxy cars are Lada Riva's. its a Mazda 323. Subarus are sports kings... godlike AWD and boxer engine that allows for a great center of gravity. Also they understeer a LOT, but its manageable by simply power out in the corners cause the AWD compensates for it... thats why Colin McRae always said " in doubt, flat out".
"I'm guessing that's like a 60s car" I think you'll find that it is most likely 80s-90s It is a Lada Riva (that's what it was called in the UK) it is a Russian car made from the 70s till I believe 2014 and was based on an old FIAT
That yellow car, as you asked what it is, is the predecessor of the car you were driving, a Škoda 120 or 130 :) A veteran, but it can still be seen on the roads.
The red and white brick cars 00:05:45 are called Lada 2107 made since early 80’s up to 2010 in russia but they still manufactured in Egypt and in some other 3rd countries. Also known as Lada Riva. Modification Lada 2104 2105 2107 as as long as I know I might missing something but those cars are still popular among Caucasus and young drivers in Russia as well as a budget drift cars in some championships. 10:03 it is a Lada 2101 if I not wrong as well known as kopeika it was made by Soviet buying the license from fiat which is basically an fiat 124.
The car "what is this" at 10:07, before it got wrecked, is most probably an older Lada model, based on Fiat 124 licences, but modified to meet east European and Russian conditions.
I think the wicked car, is a really old Skoda ? - before the one, you drove ? I think there might be x4 generations in the clip ? The white x2 door hatchback, rounded, may have been a Proton, from Malaysia. Mitsubishi Lancer platform. Owned by the Petronas oil company. Use to own Lotus. Australian Wheels magazine, once summed them up, by stating: better to walk - lol 😂
Rally is why hatchbacks are so popular in EU, they have a 'sporty' image because they do so well in rally. American cars would go out in the first turn, they're built for straight lines or brute force, not 'on the edge' driving.
In cezch republic those amateur rallyes are very accesible but in most countries rallyes have a lot of safety regulation that makes not so cheap, still buying a second hand cheap beater and making it for rally is possible
Ve stopě Valašské Zimy or In the wake of the Wallachian Winter. Wallanchian is an area in Romania. God damn I'm a nerd... Love rally... I use to race my 1971 VW beetle. I miss my bug.

Have you ever seen ridge chaser? He makes pretty sick canyon run videos with cars you wouldn't expect. He even had a semi do a canyon run on his channel 😂😂
The blue and yellow car 110. Is a Skoda Estelle. It is rear engine. Seat are another in the VAG catalogue. I have a 2014 Skoda Rapid. The 2014 Seat Toledo. Is the same car. just with a different exterior body panels and different design for the lights.
Hi Ian, the white one at 10:04 (into the tree) is very probably a "Shiguli" (VAZ-2101), a licenced copy of the Fiat 124 (at least i hope it is NOT an original 124, in that case i plead for capital punishment for the driver ;-) ). Shigulis (american transcription "Zhiguli") were made from 1970 to 2014 in a huge industrial complex at Togliatti in the Soviet Union (later Russia), about 17 million copies of them!
I couldn't see the badge but it did look like a Fiat 124 to me. When I saw it the first thing that popped into my head was Fiat, no, not a grill like an Alfa & the back window is not slanted enough to be a Saab. Could it be a Lada??? Never knew about the Shiguli. Very interesting.
I believe "Zhiguli" is not american transcription, rather a more proper transcription (as close as in english probably could be). The letter "Ж" in "Жигули" ([ʐigʊli]) is pronounced as "s" in english words "pleasure" or "usually" (so the "zh" is closer). For "sh" is different letter in cyrillic script, the "Ш".
5:44 5:49 8:16 10:04 The most iconic car from 70-80s communist part of Europe. One of this cars was the first car of the 1 time F1 World Champion, Kimi Räikkönnen. This is LADA (or VAZ, Zhiguli) "cube" or more rounded version. The rounded "rounded lamp" version original version was the Fiat 124, this brand sharing the licens with Soviet Union, Turkey and Spain.... The Soviet version propably the most unique version, because in Russia the road quality and the temperature is not cool. The car was higher, it was newer type of engine and some updated versions came later. The VFTS rally car is also iconic, everybody love it on classic or special events like "Rally Legends". The company is russian, but the hightec rallycars come (mostly) Hungary. The top end cars is 250 HP and 250 NM...from the original 70HP engine, the maximum rpm is 8000-9000. And for off-road conditions, they also have an off-road vehicle, the LADA NIVA 4x4. Actually nobody know why dont have this rallycar in rallygames officially.
when you say accessible, i have worked under contract as welder for M-Sport Sweden for 6 month contract as welder, and they paid me for welding jobs for their rally car 3 years ago 30k eur. So high end rally cars are expensive, cos i was welding safety cages, or how they are called in english.
