IDK... I was driving some Rallies and think it's russian roulette to stand there... of course the drivers can handle it, but what's the biggest fear of mmost racedrivers? Right! That something breaks. And that's a very good point for this to happen. I bet you wont survive 100 beaten up Rallye cars going bye this place in race pace.

@@anttikinnunen7904 right, also 2 compressions where even a wheel or any outside part can say good bye at any time or a stone can hit you... First try at home how it feels to get a sharp carbon flap in your face with 200, followed by some stones, lol. If you can still go outside you're fine to stand there with some luck^^

So basically, if you hear people speaking Finnish, that's where you stand?

WRC - World Rally Championship. Race is not between countries, but drivers and teams, like on F1. Finnish race winner were Estonian driver Tänak, two Toyota cars were Finnish drivers. One of those Toyotas were Kalle Rovanperä, 2022 and 2023 champion. Races are held mostly (except some stadium superstages) on public roads, that are closed for special stages during race. Current Rally1 cars are "silhouette cars", that have tubular space frame and composite panels aroud to make car look like a street one. There is not much parts from street going versions versus WRC ones, some said that only windshield wiper motor is from production car... Each car have driver and co-driver, later has a job to read notes from the notes to tell where road turns and how fast driver can go thru that curve. When co-driver misses note, or says it incorrectly - it ends often to out of the road and causes interesting comments inside the car... :D And as said; if you got nervous watching WRC, then look group B monsters from 80's. Kind of no-limit monsters with 800kg minimum weight limit and everything else were "anything goes"...

Kalle Rovanperä is the world champion 🇫🇮 The Finnish World Rally Championship is July 31 - August 4.

Kalle on kaksinkertainen maailmanmestari. Ja saas nähdä, tuleeko ensi kaudella kolmas? Tällä kaudella ainoastaan se, että Kalle ei aja täyttä kautta estää kolmannen peräkkäisen mestaruuden saamisen.

Usually flags are positioned as the podium... so that was Tänak from Estonia who won the race!

My hometown is Jyväskylä, the capital of rally. Been there watching since a child. You dont belive the Speed untill you se it alive.

Finland: Home of the Surface-to-Air Racing. WRC Finland has a long-lasting reputation of being more technical race that forces drivers to drive on very fast narrow(er), twisty and as you can see jumpy - very often almost completely "blind" (can't see what's coming up next) - gravel roads. Depending on weather, that gravel can be 'really' slippery and if you lose control for a second you'll quickly find out what's down in that sharp ditch on the side of the road AND if your car can be used as Forestry Machine or Xmas Tree Ornament! :)

Ott Tänäk (Estonia), and Thierry Neuville(Belgium)drove Hyundai. They formed a team.

Yeah, you need to watch some group B rally from the 80's to see how close people used to stand. 😆

Currently spectators are at least 5-10m away from cars (on some points they get closer, but not often), back in B-days it was more like a 5-10cm... And mechanics often found bits of fingers from wings or other aero parts because that... :D

Also the Finnish "leg" of the championship is world famous for having lots of big jumps as you can see in the video... You would definately feel the bumps even if you had their suspension, they are not set up for comfort like a Rolls Royce or something like that....

Finnish 'leg'is also wellknown for being the fastest leg of the season, as cars run nearly 100 mph all the time, most races give only speeds like 70mph to 80mph average. RAC rally used to be the main event of the season in Britain for decades.

Lando Norris reacted to rally and said: "they are absolutely insane"

Rally Finland - the fastest rally race in the world!

5:20 This clip is from Finland. See the "Laukaa" text in the ad above the track. Finland has always been the rally with biggest jumps and some drivers hate it because the risks are pretty high when your wheels no longer touch the ground.

they do this every june right near our summer cottage :) (well not wrc but like, smaller races)

The suspension and shock absorption on these beasts has gone a long way from when they had more power but very sketchy handling. It takes some guts to hurl a 1 ton machine at 150kmh thru forest roads. I've seen these up close first time in 1991 and last in 2023, all in the 1000 Lakes Rally. Check out Marcus Grönholm for intense racing and some quintessential Rally English: "Marcus Grönholm: Up in the ass of Timo (Uncensored HD Re-up)".

You should also watch: "Rallying In Finland, Fast Rally Fans Part 1" its awesome what kind of community and fans this sport has. Not only they enjoy the races but they help pull and push the cars when they get stuck or crash so they can get back to the race.

It's not technically different countries versus eachother, it's an indivdual championship between the drivers/co-drivers and also a constructors championship between the teams that build and maintain the cars, the entire "circus" travels around the world and races in several different countries just like Formula 1 does WRC stands for World Rally Championship and Finland has the second most championship titles after France who have taken over in recent years by Sebastien Loeb and Sebastian Ogier absolutely dominating, before that Finland was #1

There are some really high quality in-car videos on Kalle Rovanperä's KZread channel. Kalle Rovanperä is the current WRC champion.

It's safe to be in curve instead of out, It's quite unusual at drivers take curve straight instead they're pushing it wide into outern banks

I think the most insane part is that if you are 1 second slower per kilometer, that's so bad that you don't belong in WRC at all. When you look how unstable those cars look during the corners, it's a small wonder that they can drive nearly equally fast.

10:00 check the flags. Estonia in the middle 1st place and Finland 2nd and 3rd

Ott Tänak (Estonia) was winner, Kalle Rovanperä was second (currently reigning World Champion, Finland) and third was Esapekka Lappi (Finland).

You should watch some onboard cams too :)

If you had rally car suspension on your car, you would feel the bumps even more than with normal suspension. Rally cars have relatively hard suspension.If they had soft suspension, the car would slam into the road and break after a big jump.

Ott Tänak from Estonia won. Our Finnish Kalle Rovanperä was second. ( Please check Kalle, he is the youngest winner for all time. )

I hear and share your fear of getting hit by one of those things! Just listen to it! I know my neighbours to the east love rally, and plenty of swedes do aswell. -rather watch that s on the screen 😂❤

Dwayne, Efyn Evans is from Wales. He is one of the best drivers in Great Britain, and he is drive in WRC. He team is at Toyota

Rally cars often use Öhlins suspension. Swedish brand.

Videolita gets some pictures, but you have to see them live to realize how good those best drivers are, it's something mind-blowing and as a Finnish rally fan, the fastest gravel rally and the most jumps, so welcome to watch. Well, the big jumps were when we got to the finish line, usually you shouldn't do crazy jumps with quick jumps because you lose time. Rally Finland 2024 starts on Wednesday, July 31, Welcome tho watsch.

Finnish rally is fastest of all wrc rallies, including the asphalt ones. Also known as " gravel grand prix."

Best drivers in the world

Rally sport is a tour around the world to countries which have signed up to host it... .just like formula one .. most races are in Europe...

Just you wait until you see those insane rally car crashes. Those are brutal

@10:14 you can see three flags. Finn, Est and Finn. It means Estonia won and Finland took the second and the third place.

gravel rally, flying through the woods, dangerous as hell, and still the highest average speed of just shy of 80mph. swedish people have a saying about us finns: "they are born with either a rally steering wheel in their hands or ice hockey skates on"

WRC (World Rally Championship). Just as F1 or any other worldwide racing series, some manufacturers and crews, doesn't matter wich country they are from for the rounds to take place in a certain country, but sometimes it does. The WRC has arguibly returned to race in Japan as Toyota's big involvement and success in the sport (think they even have a stage set around the "Toyota city"). And of course WRC is just the top level guys in its several categories, but many countries have their own national championship and some even regional ones beside the nationalwide one, outside the WRC but compliant with FIA standards.

Rally finland is 3 fulla days of flat out driving aroud of fast and blind cornes and jumps 😅 it really takes some balls to drive competitive speed in there. And before they had onboard videos where to learn roads it was really hard to drivers from outside of finland to vin here becouse so unic roads. Thats why there is not so many vinners from outside of finland 😅

Yeah, 2024 spec F1 cars are larger than ever before; F1 cars are about 5.5 meters long and 2 meters wide. To put that into perspective, a typical family car is about 4.6 meters long and 1.8 meters wide. For comparsion, Yaris WRC is just 4m long... and 1.8m wide.

Oh, flying is easy part .. the trick is to survive the landing .. (car, plane, parachute .. choose)

Onboard cams!

WRC 1 car is a cool million.

you should watch the old clips of an rally B group

What do you think WRC stands for? World Rally Championship!

3:45 I trust the drivers to handle the car but I don't trust the cars. Nearly every stage, some car will pop a tire and it's not too uncommon to snap a suspension arm. When the car is going full speed and a suspension arm snaps, it's no longer about skill of the driver and the fans must be outside the line.

thats why thers a saying in rally... if you want to win. employ a fin ;)

"Finns warch this?" AMIS ASK THAT?

You seem to be amazed how fast these WRC cars go. Acceleration is good enough, 10 years old WRC car go 0-100km/h (0-60mph) under 4 seconds and modern cars are faster. For safety reasons top speed is limited to 200km/h (124mph), all these top cars could easily go faster. FIA has banned some special stages through years when they noticed average speed were too high. Special stage Ouninpohja is one example, FIA pulled out that route after top cars got average speed over 160km/h (~100mph) and remember, that's with all the turns and breaking to corners. You can still find interviews around internet where now retired WRC drivers talk about their career in WRC class. Some drives still remember how they feared Rally Finland event. If you didn't go full throttle on gravel road, there was always some lunatics who would and those always win the race. Ouninpohja was the stage where you remained more airborne than on four wheels, it was literally jump after jump to corner and jump again.

No sweat, Dwayne, people very seldom dies at these races... and if you come here in Winter, we'll take you to Ice racing instead!

These jumps aren’t as high as they could be. They have plenty of aero pushing the car down at these speeds.

Watch 8yo Kalle Rovanperä driving, or some rally footage from inside the cockpit. It's pretty mad.

There is a rule. Never stand on the outside corner. :D

You have to go and see rallyyourself, RAC is still driven in UK, so not so far? BUT You really have to react to, Isle of Man TT race, yeah motorbikes, fast on public roads on that island, oldest motorbike racing, over 100 years, since 1907. Its worth to go watching live, to see bikes going past you, as fast like 320 km/ hour, depending where you are watching. This year, Isle of Man TT is happening From 1 to 8 of June. You need to find accomondation now , when its possible to find any. You have to watch and react to , Fastest ever lap of the Isle of Man TT/ Peter Hickman, omboard cam. Its grazy, in good way?

Unfortunately the Irish guy died with freak accident. He was good one but not the fastest. Requiescat in pace Craig.

You can buy that suspension for your vw polo and it will only cost about 200k/usd. WRC is just dudes competing same as F1

You should say Swedish, Danish, Finnish day not Sweden, Denmar, Finland day. Does not sound right to us. Rally was my father's delight and I grew up in the forest with fast cars passing by in high speeds. The best thing was to stand in a curve with a stone wall and you knew they were going to crush into it.

F1 is totally boring compared to this. ❤❤❤ And im pretty sure you can not afford that suspension 😜😎 cos its minimum 70-100k in dollars for all corners.

Stop pausing it for each jump they make, dear God.

Finns just don't watch they drive like that too
