he was very talented at driving rally cars, but driving from notes and making them was the part he struggled with most. I think it was Latvala who said he believed Kimi would've been in a podium if he kept going couple more years. Learning to drive from notes at that level is very hard, even guys who came from driving very similar cars in rallycross, seem to struggle in rally

@zwjna 21 күн бұрын

Not just pacenotes are the struggle, driving per-se in rally is another level as well. Almost everything you can do with a car, you will do it in rally. Kimi himself said that WRC was harder than F1 and that "if you can drive in some of the roads we drove this season [in WRC] you can drive anywhere."

@ShavoSoaDer Ай бұрын

Good summary about differences between skillsets required in F1 and WRC. Switch from one to another requires not only learning new habits but unlearning old ones. As for Kimi, he did well considering how inexperienced he was.

There are some exceptions to the rule of Rally-F1 drivers, like Robert Kubica (of course). One might say that he only won a single GP racebutit was a race he spectacularily crashed of the year before - Canada. Just before winning Canada he scored 2nd position in Monaco and was leading for some part of the race. Other podiums as well. If not for the accident, he had a very good chance at becoming a Champion. He did win the WRC2 championship in 2013 though and in regular fashion messed with factory drivers in a RRC spec DS3, like his 5th place finish in Germany. Other notable mention is Valteri Bottas, although he competed in local rallies only, I think.

And that is very much true and a driver who can adapt to all disciplines is the goat of motorsports idc if people say Lewis Hamilton has 7 championships in F1 which is the top of motorsports thus hes the greatest or Dale Earnhardt Sr is the greatest because hes won 7 in the modern era of NASCAR realistic they are the greats of their motorsport a driver that realistically should be considered is someone like Kyle Larson or Juan Pablo Montoya someone who hasn't exactly set the world alight in their starting series but rather proved to be well versed in all types of racing and could be a threat any day of the week

bro .. i am about to sub .. love your videos .. love your commentary BUT i have some suggestions. sometimes the music you choose isnt really fitting. at some beginnings the music doesnt fit the scene .. when the scene is slower or not much is going on .. to aggressive music breaks that scene or atmosphere. take eighter slower parts of the track or pick tracks that are slower anyway! at times use the music to build up an climax ll ets say you make a cut from a slower video feed to a full send race scene. support that with "a Drop" etc. when you blend out the music .. you dont fade .. you just make a full stop cut! fade it out and then fade it in again. make it smoother! and overall the music is to loud! i understand that you love those tracks .. but not everybody does and at times it feel more like an music video than an "car related" one! i hope you can take this not as an insult .. but simply ideas to make produce a smoother product!

i'd argue the music in itself is alright and a personal preference - but the videos' overall sound could be mixed a little better imo. doesn't detract from the experience, but it's audible.

There's a good reason for the phonk music. In 2024, to compete with stuff like TikTok, you have to make videos ultra highly engaging, so you need lots of stuff going on.

I mean WRC is not a joke, F1 has of course way higher speeds but it is on a good road and good visibility and no obstacles, when you see WRC racing from the cockpit on some narrow gravel road in a forest between trees... you may piss your pants even just as a spectator as seems like a crash can be imminent any second. Of course they have notes etc. otherwise it would be impossible to do for any driver, to react to all the twists and turns but it is a mad sport, sadly now seems to be in decline a bit
