He's too busy breaking the car

SHUT UP!

Especially the TURN IN part

This is the most underrated comment on the internet

TRIPLE CAUTION

Kevin Ho You could almost leave a cup of coffee on the dash without it spilling over. He's in perfect control.

Denial Not Accepted no you couldn't

DoobieR Apparently, you don't get my point.

DoobieR You have amazing insight...

Denial Not Accepted more like a paper cup of water

Same, scared the shit out of me.

You probably didn't break in a straight line - a really important rule in any kind of racing

Tried it once too and whatever was in the back ended up in the front haha

@@rotracing5744 Nah, it's more like left foot slams the pedal to the floor and brakes bite on full. Typical for people who normally use their left for the clutch, which is pushed until disengagement (bitta resistance too, especially on a race clutch) so the muscle memory says "fucking mash it into the ground". Then once the car starts going bonkers they try to disengage the clutch, as one does when coming to a stop, but their left foot is still on the brake so it really brakes hard and punts you through the windshield.

Haha l have done the exact same thing 😂😂😂

Yes. I picked up on that too

Such class

Casual handbrake while saying it too! So smooth!

such a G

smooth

fuck you

HKF1 After a while you get used to it.

HKF1 here, have another comment and like. 3 years later. Yw.

:3

thesmileyone *still is

Same mate. Loved watching Colin thrash a car back in the day.

Before him Subaru’s we’re not cool or desirable

Greatly missed.

I always routed for him! Very pleasant personality.

1:30 to be more specific. Pure Scandinavian flick

+peculiarmadman To be fair, Penny Mallory is a pretty decent rally driver herself, so she'll have had plenty of understanding (and trust) for what Colin is doing. Still can't help but be impressed at how easy he makes it look though.

She has complete faith in him, as would I. that said I would probably be crapping my pants all the same. ;)

What are you wearing, Jake from State Farm??

lerch25 probably used her first adult diaper that day😂

RB86 Yes, it’s good to have people who know what they’re talking about. She’s a rally driver too.

She's a rally driver I think, saw it in another comment

Penny Mallory is a women's rally champion, she would be very at home in a rally car ;-)

@@krazed0451 i must have missed her name tag ;)

Knowledgeable and I agree with you. She makes the video far more enjoyable because shes asking informative questions in the middle of the whole thing. I certainly wouldn't be able to come up with some of those questions.

:)

Well Makinen has 4 championship wins where Colin has only 1 Makinen also won the safari rally that colin was talking about lol

@@evs251 He won the 2002 safari rally tho

evs251; it’s hard to imagine just how good the Finns are at rally driving, but if you understand how they train and develop rally drivers as a sport it’s just amazing. Colin was following in his fathers footsteps and was spectacularly successful even if he wasn’t from Finland . When I was much younger my rally driving ‘god’ was Hannu Mikkola and later Henri Toivonen before he passed and all the rules changed...

Colin was making a joke because tommi is a legend too lol

Mr.McRae had the minerals. RIP you legend.

He's used to driving one handed. You gotta shift at some point

lol holy fuck. can you even imagine?

@@alecjones4135 Do you drive AT ALL?

Seeing that instantly shows you he's incredible.

Sharp left over Crest 90 what a,game

Subaru 555 or Castrol Corolla? :)

The Corolla

Subaru

Mine two...loved it...setting up the car!

Agreed,the speed would scare the lady silly at competition pace.Colin is really in demonstration mode here.

True but it's those last few % of pace that separates Colin,Tommi,Juha,Loeb,Carlos ect. from even very good rally drivers.She may be experienced,but am sure the pace the that Nicky Grist has seen sitting in her seat when Colin is in all or nothing mode would blow her mind.

Glad to talk to someone who understands and appreciates the tremendous skills of these WRC guys.

keeturbo ever see a driver in a co driver seat? They white knuckle all the way even at low speeds. Markku alen particularly

still looks pretty fast to me

bouba664 de,

as i read your comment i was like " what? he DIED?"!!! then i found out why and it's so damn stupid that he died crashing a thing that you're less likely to die in than while bolting through the woods on rough terrain that could send you flying straight into the nearest tree. shame :(

bouba664 apparently he wasn't much of a pilot huh?

Nice play on words...

Pilot is another term for a racing driver its not a joke about how he died....

Notice her humidity

@@StillOnMars That's Penny Mallory, a very accomplished rally driver herself. It's one thing to get a compliment from a layperson, but to get one from a fellow professional different entirely. He took it as a genuine compliment from someone who actually knows what they're talking about, but nice of you to bring it down to the middle school locker room level.

@@gasfiltered ok, that's why she's so calm, a normal person would be way scared.....

The most underrated joke on KZfaq 🤣

@@gasfiltered Bruh why'd you get so triggered because of a joke?

Andrew ww i was just thinking the same thing.

Continually watching this guy is why I don’t drive fast on the street. I’ll take my slow times at the track, but watching a true professional always make me realize my driving capabilities.

Colin Griffin lmao, made my day. I like too think you just go to McRae threads and soak up the praise 😅

Was*

Him and Walter Röhrl

Was...

@@tacitus5665 watching too much grand tour

@Have-a- Cigar Ah shit, here we go again

corniel he totally has a point. McRae was unlicensed and showing off. If he was anyone else he’d be known as a prick

A gentleman that didn't ask the permission of the parents of the innocent child that he murdered.

@@arconeagain LOL what? are you truly that delusional? Murdered? damn you're really fucking weird lol, seek help you creep.

His car has what's known as a "sequential gearbox". Doesn't need a clutch other than for taking off in 1st gear. Dude has mad talent and I'm not down playing his driving skills one bit, but the shifting is nothin special.

@@pstrollchannel So I know what sequential gearboxes are but I assumed you still needed a clutch for all gears, but you're correct it's just needed for first gear. Interesting! Still he was a very skilled driver

@@ajburdett882 I kind of figured you did but I just wanted to share the info in case anyone else reading didn't know. But yeah it's pretty much the same as paddle shifters, neat stuff!

Dont need a clutch to change gear , did it once, preston to stoke on A roads, hardest part was not stopping at red lights.. Get the revs right and in it goes.. Oh I used to privateer on the rac rally late 90s. 3 times..

@@ajburdett882 like on a motorbike a clutch isn't needed to shift up or down.

***** Some of us are just plain masochistic I guess. What I like about dirt rally is when you get better at the game it's because you've actually learned something about driving. Dirt Rally doesn't lie to you, and say that if you haven't mastered the basics in a slower car that you will be anything but hopelessly out of control in an 800hp quarto.

Hook Eyy dirt rally has better physics from rbr...

Not really considering Dirt rally is a pretty unrealistic arcade. When you get better at it's because you adapted to the shit unrealistic physics trhat it has. It very much lies to you, if you think it doesnt, you never drove a real car then.

Think of them like rudder pedals. To tighten through the corner brake, to widen throttle.

derbigpr500 how come rally drivers slay in it from the out set?

really? you do know he is dead dummy? only about years ago

That doesn't mean it wasn't just another day for him back when he was alive, dummy

This man has a series of video games made in his name. What a legend.

Yeah thanks KZfaq, I love these

Absolutely everyone here has found this video in 2019....

2020

Looks like she does. Others said she's also a rally driver, and a champion at that.

Colin to Jesus You nailed it

Im really looking forward for the second comming then... todays rally desperately needs a jesus to drive

@MusicMadMaurice you sound very stupid my friend... what do you believe in ?

@MusicMadMaurice i'm very unreligious, but i can see why people would be religious and understand them. When was the last time you were so pretty about random person using an every day phrases, such as "OMG" and many other, do you give that much crap to it? Did you seriously had to give that much crap to this moderately funny joke, that ain't even much religious? Since Jesus Christ is almost a media person. Get over your stuff and bring kindness to the world

@Maura religion isnt a small thing.its responsible for the deaths of billions over the centuries. Over something with no proof whatsoever.

Flying ? Oops

If you can do it in a not so awkward way I'm sure it would brighten up her day to know someone loved her husband and has passion for what he did, and that would extend to his cars.

Actually you don't need left foot braking even when driving a racing track which is not an offroad. Left foot braking is necessary only in rallying.

klogg4 I might be wrong but what about with front wheel drives

Who said anything about "need"? I prefer it, especially on cars that don't have a traditional manual.

>>Who said anything about "need"? Professionals. You MUST brake with right foot in real car. If you drive manual, you move your left foot to clutch pedal only when you need to shift, all the other time it should be in the rest zone. If you drive automatic, your left foot should ALWAYS be in the rest zone, and you press both pedals with your right foot. This is the only right and the safest position for everyday driving. Reason - if extreme situation appears, the rest zone helps you keep your body steady. In a racing car you don't need it because seat belts are strong enough to hold your body absolutely moveless, but in a passenger car it isn't, so using the rest zone is necessary.

in colins hay day all cars were front wheel drive do a bit of research

what an idiot. lots of f1 drivers have been successful in rally

@@nanderlizernanderlizer684 like who? Raikkonen?

+velizar vasev also what i was thinking? maybe he's just that good at matching revs? something that is possible

+ewesey Yes true but the gears are turning at a different speed from the engine. And the car needs matching speeds on both in order perform a smooth gear change. At those speeds it is impossible to rev match.

+velizar vasev Because these vehicles use sequential gearboxes that often have an ignition cut built into them the clutch never needs to be used in upshifting apart from starting in first gear. When downshifting the dog clutches in the gearbox require a quick blip of the throttle in order to release and mesh with the new gear. You'll notice that he blips the throttle when changing down.

+ewesey its sequential

It's a dogbox, like a bike. No need for the clutch in between gears, though you'll need to blip the throttle when downshifting, like Sam Russel explained.

+scr34m1ng do you drive an automatic?

ewesey yep

lol same as my sister. first time i discover she use left foot for braking, im mad as fuck and told her to use right foot to brake. but after 1 year, i dont care anymore. she's good with it lul

Aslong as she's only planning on driving automatics that's fine, otherwise it's a terrible thing to get used too as an everyday driver.

+zoey margera I'm surprised she got her license
