What other heartbreaking moments can you think of?

Taka's humility towards his opponent and how he still keeps positive energy just shows how great of a person he is. He really is one of the best personalities in my opinion in WRC.

Loved how Ogier went to comfort Tänak after rally loss in Poland.

Richard Burns rally GB 2003. final rally, 6 points away from the title but it faded away as he was heading to the rally which turned out to be a brain tumour that would end not only his career but his life 2 years later...

Tommi Makinen being prevented from getting back to Service by some jobsworth copper after taking the right rear corner off his Evo on Rally GB 1998, and me accidentally tripping Tommi up whilst I was marshalling in the Service park at Felindre in 2003. His last season when he wore gold boots. I tripped him with a rope barrier coming out of the Media Centre and he ended up on his face in the mud. Fortunately he saw the funny side. Worst moment by far was Markko Martin after his crash on Rally GB in 2005, in which Michel 'Beef' Park was killed. I was marshalling the next stage and we heard about the accident from a TV crew, then that Beef was dead, then that the rally was cancelled. Markko was devastated. It was a very long, quiet drive home from South Wales. RIP Mr. Park.

"Trata de arrancarlo, Carlos!!" R.I.P to both Sainz's 3rd drivers title, and Toyota's constructors title

Great idea for a video, here are my other moments: Mouton went off the fight for the title in '82 Ivory Coast... after the news her father passed away. Auriol in RAC '92, DNF due to a candle and title lost after a record of wins that year... Thiry DNF in Tour de Corse '95 that costed him the first win in WRC

The Number 1 pick could have been even more heartbreaking. Carlos could have finished the rally and then broke down on the way to final time control On the same subject. I know the drivers have media commitments but do we have to interview them when these moments happen.

Bruno Thiry - Tour de Corse 1995 is missing!

I think we all knew what #1 would be.

The commentator for the 2001 season is such a nostalgia kick; awesome voice!

I still feel for Delecour, a spectacular driver who got his Monte Victories stolen twice. When everybody crowded Delecour, everyone crying, I felt it, I loved all the drivers from the Group A Era, so humane and such loveable Drivers. Bruno Thiry also had it bad, you really feel for every driver

The "it's too hard" from Ott was tough to hear

Kenneth Ericsson running out of transmission fluid 200m outside of service in Kenya in 2002

A few (dis)honorable mentions: - Oliver Solberg crashing out of Finland 2022 on the first corner of the first (proper) stage - Evans losing the (probably) last ever WRC Tour de Corse because of a puncture in the Power Stage in 2019 - Tanak losing Rally Sardegna 2019 on the last stage, while leading by 40+ seconds, because of a broken power-steering - Jari Matti Latvala completely speechless after suffering an incredible crash caused by some bedrock which unexpectedly broke his suspension while leading Rally Argentina in 2016 - Petter Solberg completely deflated at a regroup after suffering yet another mechanical issue to his Subaru back in 2002 - with Colin McRae sitting alongside him in the car, trying to cheer Petter up - Colin McRae having a brilliant recovery from like 4th to the lead on the last day of Rally Australia 1998, only for the turbo to blow, dropping him out of the podium places and out of the championship fight - Piero Liatti having to relinquish the 1997 Sanremo win to Colin McRae due to team orders. I still wonder how did David Richards make it out of Italy alive, that day - Thiry losing its first win in Corsica in 1995 because of a technical issue which they had to try to fix with no mechanics allowed to help them, if I'm not mistaken - Mouton mathematically losing the 1982 title by retiring from the lead in the Ivory Coast - failing to fulfill the last wish of her father, who had passed away just before the rally started - Adartico Vudafieri crashing out of the lead in Sanremo 1978 while driving a privateer Lancia Stratos. His great rival, Tony Fassina, would go all the way with the same car the following year, to date he remains the last true privateer to win one of the crown jewels events of the WRC There are probably many others (excluding all those who failed to finish their last ever stage on this earth...)

After Carlos' heartbreaking moment was made legendary tv-interview with Tommi Mäkinen, when he heard during the interveiw that he is theChampion. Mitäh? (What) asked Tommi on a phone and rest is history.

2:08 that has to be the most unlucky thing in Rallying ever.

I can still remember that mommnet when Carlos retired at the end of the rally. I was then a little boy and he was my hero. I remeber crying

tbh Ott's power stage loss due to a puncture or power steering, i cant remember what year was quite heartbreaking aswell

As soon as I saw the title, I knew the 1998 British Rally would be in the list 😢 Felt so bad for Carlos Sainz that day!

Carlos 💔

The first moment to come to my mind was Oliver Solberg in Rally Finland 2022. First corner of first stage and he was out.

Mcrae Australia 2005

TRATA DE ARRANCARLO, POR DIOS!!

Didn't even need to open the vid for no.1. Rotten luck for Sainz

👏👏👏

emotional... :(

As for Number 8: This but way more extreme was what happened to Hayden Paddon on his M-Sport Test with the car he should ve used in the rally, which was his only chance to resurrect his WRC career in retrospect. Also rest in peace to all the people who have died over the years in this sport.

8:21 😭😭😭😭😭

I knew Carlos and his blown engine 500 yards from the end in GB ‘98 was going to be number one. Wasn’t even like he could back right off and slowly crawl to the finish, it seized up on him. Absolutely nothing he could do.

Possum Bourne - Rally Australia 1993 Early on in the rally, a heavy crash resulted in the death of his co-driver and best friend, Roger Freeth. That crash was the catalyst for the regulation change that harness’ were to be fitted to the roll cage and not the body of the vehicle. An awful, heavy price to pay for safety. Rogers wife was the only reason he continued to rally after that until his own untimely death in 2003.

"That's life"

obviously the " trata de arracarlo carlos " , have to be in the 1st

-HANNINEN on IRC 2009 almost first win for Skoda in Montecarlo -PANIZZI MONTECARLO 1999 whit private Impreza

Mikko Hirvonen wales 2009

Taka is the N’Golo Kanté of rally

TAKAMOTO KATSUTA🇯🇵🗾

Immediately thought of the helmet through the rear window.

TRATA DE ARRANCARLO POR DIOS

When Michelle Mouton loose her World title at Safari Rally in 83, i think,

Thierry Neuville Belgium 2022. If I speak ...

Gerrard Larrousse, Monte Carlo -68.

Like if you knew first place already without even start to looking at the video

I knew what the number one was going to be. But you can't really show this without showing also Tommy receiving the information through a call while being interviewed live.

Colin's off should be in 2nd.

What makes evans off even worse is he slpwed ogoer down to stop him going off and ogier has never repayed evans for it... ogiers reputation for alot of people has gone from a great driver to selfish and arogant

why didn't sainz push the corolla though?

зачем в wrc менять колесо, этап идет меньше, чем замена?

Toyota = motorsport drama

meeks and mikkelsens are just personal moments. not in the pages of history.

Poor Elfyn Evans, he didn't win his first title in his WRC career. 😢

Burns crash finland 2000? Burns crash nz 2002? Rovanperä crash finland 2002? Latvala crash germany 2006?

Sainz' Corolla failing meters from the finish and then Moya throwing his helmet into the back window was one of the reasons Toyota withdrew from WRC. Toyota Japan were extremely upset by that behaviour.

Where is Olvier Solberg crash in rally Finland 2022
