Peugeot 206 and Citroën Xsara : Two fantastic cars

911gp and Jean Yves.. Two fantastic You Tube commenters.

Colin Mcrae the best.

@@fujimikaido2532 One of the very best of his era.. but definitely the most spectacular.

@@fujimikaido2532 - I value your comment. Colin surely was the most spectacular driver alongside Ari Vatanen. But since this video is about Richard Burns (and Loeb), something should be said: For sure, two British drivers coming up at roughly the same time, media kept comparing Richard to Colin. But that was somewhat unfair. Colin's dad was a 6-times British champion, had all the contacts to teams, manufacturers, etc. When Colin crashed a car, he had a new one the next day. Not to discredit Colin, but he came to the top fast, he learned the limits by going over them, and he ended up being the most spectacular driver and still in control most of the time. Richard's dad for comparison never competed in a rally, he was part of the local (Reading) motor club because he enjoyed rallies as well as the social side. When Richard started competing in the first 3-4 years any single crash would have meant the end of his carrier. That is often overlooked in that comparison, and it is beautiful too, who came from normal human being like you and me backgrounds to the very top of this sport since? Yes, it took Richard longer to get to the top, yes he was less spectacular than Colin, Ari, & Co, but there was a reason for it. Yet he made it, and he was one of the most complete drivers we ever saw. You could send Richard to any rally you wanted, 1000 Lakes, Safari, Richard would deliver. Not even Röhrl or Ogier was/are willing to go everywhere. Or when Richard was criticised that in the Peugeot 206 WRC he never won a rally. That's because Richard always saw the bigger picture and drove with a brain. He may have never won a rally in the 206 in 2003, but he was leading the WRC before he fell ill! Even in his World Championship year he only won one rally. Yes, I too will always enjoy watching the antics of Colin. But if you wanted a driver who regularly bags points wherever you send him and at the same time looks after the car, there was no way round Richard! It is no surprise Safari was his first WRC win, it was also one of his fav rallies, for it had a tactical element, keep the car in one piece, it was the bigger picture, not just having a heavy right foot. And this made Richard unique.

It says "crash Loeb", which is exactly what happened. He crashed. Followed by an onboard of Burns. I think by 'vs' he means '&'.

I think you could be right Tim well spotted.

the title says "Crash Loeb vs Burns" it gives the impression that they crash into each other. definitely a horseshit title.

@@Menolifee no, you clicked on it. It worked

Strider_503 Two deceased British legends :,(

They really be up there chillin with Dave Mirra tho

Um, why? Because of their paint jobs? I see no other advantages:]

@@fkykas it's the spirit

@@fkykas I don't know, I think that it's just that nostalgia... Maybe because all of the people that are now in their 20's and grew up watching rally videos like this probably remember these cars the best... Cars that seemed much more related to the production cars (compared to how different the Group B cars were from their standard counterparts), and yet more interesting/extreme looking than some of the Group A cars of the 90's... And, then, there were a lot of talented drivers, like McRae, Burns, Loeb, Groenholm, Panizzi, Gardemeister even etc... At least, those are the reasons why I personally love this era of WRC...

frankgile1996 strong answer

@@wolftmfg Thanks! I just grew up occasionally watching VHS tapes of WRC back in the day (actually not too dissimilar to this video footage), and I feel strongly about the subject... Speaking of which, I still remember Gilles Panizzi doing a 360 turn in a u-turn in Catalonia, Spain back in the early 00's with a Peugeot 206 WRC... I just used to love WRC for a while, so that's that...

Y ahora también. Bfff míticos estos resúmenes. En qué ha quedado toda la programación de las teles 😱😱

Policía JustoTodo eso empezó a decaer en el 2006, cuando los pilotos de rally, salvo los más veteranos, parecían estar manejando una play station.

@@miqueasvalentinhernandez3998 Seguramente para tu sorpresa, en 2006 prohibieron el control de tracción, el ABS, los diferenciales activos (exceptuando el central), y las suspensiones activas que venían añadiendo desde hace años. Nada de eso volvió a utilizarse desde entonces - con la excepción del diferencial central activo, que se eliminó en el 2011 con la introducción de los WRC 1.6; se reintrodujo en el 2017 para los WRC+, y se eliminó de vuelta en 2022 para los Rally1.

I think it's because the gearbox must be usable even if a sensor or an actuator breaks.

Went to watch it again, because I didn't get it the first one. Nice catch!

Why? There was a crash ( Loeb into the ditch ), and Burns hit Loebs car. There was onboard footage, too.

@@narancs5 but look at the thumbnail picture along with the title, it's clickbait.

I'm sure he didn't see him coming, but, ya... :)

Burns just clipped his ear Loeb ;)

Victor Suarez loebs was

Only the good die young

Loeb se comporto como un cerdo cerrandole de esa manera en lugar de hacerse a un lado

Pretty sure he flipped good car in the beginning of the video.

Why? Nothing's going on here, Loeb is just trying to get back to the stand as best he can with his broken car. The interesting moments are 0:06 and 0:25

Ruairi Mccarthy good, rather not see crashes, near misses can be impressive but crashes are annoying

Ruairi Mccarthy

Technically "crash Loeb" is accurate.

President Kimi but not into burns, into the scenery.

+The ANT The title is still right

Carmelo Trupia tdefrgfgfffffccfcccxcxxxxdddrrdeesdg svtdddssssssssswwswsasssssssssad sssßtf I have to sort few things so will sswwws2ddffd

Err... right.... Makkinen, Sainz, Burns, McRae, Gronholm, Delecour, Panizzi and Loeb.... all crap?

I guess he is comparing WRC to Group B. Completely different

Aaron OMG what do you mean, WHEN it was crap it still is

Are you having a laugh??

Still crap? You should have followed the 2017 season ffs...
