I commend these gentlemen's ability to resist the urge of going sideways in every bend.

The fact that these top-tier race cars are street-legal and have to drive on public roads between stages and service parks will forever be one of the most underappreciated, coolest parts about rally. That's so freaking righteous and I love it 🤘🏼

I think this entire thing is quite crazy. You will never see any type of other motorsports where the racecars themselves are driving to the event rather than being towed by huge commerical trucks. Then again, most racecars don't have indicators and actually do fit standard car regulations. And its much cheaper doing it this way anyway, and much cooler.

Imagine this being simulated in the next-gen sim-rally game

3:45 dude definitely ran the red light 😂

This is the part of rallying that many don't see. Sure, it's exciting and fun on the special stages, but fully a half of a rally is spent driving between stages, to and from the service park, and the like. They are also timed on these parts of the rally, and if they arrive too early or too late, they can incur some pretty gnarly penalties. The organizers will drive between the stages a month or so before and time it, and then give the drivers in the rally cars, who must obey all traffic laws, speed limits, et al, something like +/- 5 minutes of that baseline time to get between places. Arrive at 6 minutes after time? -10 seconds on your entire rally time, etc. That's why the co-driver is named that instead of "navigator" or some such, as a co-driver is allowed to drive the car between stages to give the regular driver a rest, as well as the co-driver is in control of the all important time sheet. That little slip of paper they hand out the window at the end of stage to get their time recorded and signed off on is literally God in a rally. You lose that, you are disqualified. No ifs, ands, or buts

Safer than 99% of cars on the road.

Wrc fans: wow it must a dream to be a rally drive Wrc driver: IT HAS BEEN 8 HOURS OF JUST THE SOUND OF STRAIGHT GEARS PLS SOMEONE HELP

It must be a torture for these guys driving at maximum 60-70 mph

This is one of the many reasons why rally is literally the coolest motorsport in the world.

Didn't even know this was part of the sport. Makes me love it even more!

This wrc cars has really short gears so being on an highway at 70 mph must be a living hell for the ears...

I remember a few years back I was on my way to Anglesey for a race weekend, took the A5 for the nice scenic route. Without realising, it was the same weekend that the British Rally Championship were in Wales, and my Dad and I were basically car spotting as we were driving along some beautiful Welsh roads. Subarus, Toyotas, Fords, the whole lot were covered in mud just driving along the road, was really cool to see!

Very good. I once followed Sebastian Loeb for 80 km. From Sennibridge to Newport, in Wales. Rally GB. Good times. Must have been around 2011/2012 era. Good times. Citroen WRC on public roads.

I love that... "In memoriam.. Craig Breen." RIP Legend.

When WRC was still in Wales a few years back, I had the most incredible experience on my local B-Roads, with the Hyundai factory team coming barrelling up behind me, as I drove my (V8) Audi S4 to town to watch them go to the service area. I went as fast as I could on the bends for him, which was fairly easy of course in my road car, just trying to get to a straight as quickly as possible so he could pass me. I put my window down on the approaching bend, and signalled to him to pass as the road straightened up... the NOISE WAS INSANE as it backfired through my open window on gearchange. It was just incredible and I was buzzing all day.

that's the coolest thing on road! no super car can command the sheer presence of a full blown WRC car on public road! 😎

NOTHING can be more "race car with license plates" than WRC cars.

Lol Rally cars off to work like everyone else. Something charming about this.

People driving their normal version of these rally cars seeing them pass by be thinking "Wow! I didn't know I own such a cool car!"

In the Dakar, when in links between stages, you can find yourself driving in the highway close to the motos, cars and truks, and even meet pilots in the gas stations, it is so nice, I have nice memories when Dakar was here in Chile

seeing them on the road is like seeing a retired famous athlete/artist

Seeing the rally cars in a link is as beautiful or more beautiful than seeing them in the race. We lived it here in Argentina for 10 seasons with the Dakar and the world rally for 40 years.

0:10 “in memory of Craig Breen” at the bumper is awesome RIP Craig

this is one of my favorite things about rally. And having driven in a few rallies theres nothing cooler than driving a racecar on the road

This has to be the ultimate flex!

When I still lived in my home country there was a rally race close by my place once. I remember 1 Subaru Impreza WRC 2004 was next to me at the traffic light driving to the race track. The car was so freaking loud.

I'd have to resist the urge to bang it on the launch control every stop xD

Ford WRC livery is just frigging beautiful. The color scheme is on point.

These guys routinely take some of the biggest risks in motorsport, driving right to the limit on sketchy, tight, winding roads, driving very powerful, nimble cars. Despite all that, most of these clips also show them giving a very respectful following distance to the cars in front. That's because they're good drivers who understand that no matter how good you are, you can't cheat physics, and if you're tailgating you're just asking for an accident.

But the gentlemen are always quite generous in interpreting the traffic rules. Stop signs and red lights do not apply to rally drivers. At least not here in Germany. Here they are often given police protection and guided through traffic.

I dont live anywhere near a WRC OR an ARA location, but it would be crazy to see one of the worlds best drivers in one of those machines just cruising down the road to the next stage. Awesome sight.

I have a passion for rally. These cars aren't cars. They are creations. The way they're can crash and go its crazy. And it does not seem they drift. It seems they deny drift and lift off.

I was driving to the Welsh rally a few years ago and heard an incredible sound on the country lanes... was then overtaken on the winding roads by 3 WRC cars, tried to keep up with them for a bit but they were moving so effortlessly and my car was struggling massively 😄

That toyota gr going thru red light on 3:45 😅

steady on road, beast at track.. 👍👍👌👌

I can tell you it happens a lot. Memorably I can remember we drove Mikkola’s s1 up the M1 from our base in Daventry for the Scottish rally, that was probably the furthest although it wasn’t unusual to put miles on a rally car from Daventry. More often than not it was because of lack of time for testing/ shake down after a rebuild.

Estes carros, sim, são verdadeiros sonho para mim 😍👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is so freakin cool 😎

Gotta love a good ole transit.

0:38 the id..t with the blue subaru is very calm :D:D:D:D:D

Can you imagine the gear whine for hours….

Best stuff... always goosebumps to see that beasts on the road.... yyyyyyeah jjjjjiiiiipppppiiiiii yeah

So polite ❤️

SO MANY ŠKODAS!!!! 😃💚💚💚. Btw, I feel like the Škoda Fabia Evo2, Ford Puma and Hyundai I30 are the top 3 best looking rally cars. Škoda has it's crystal clear design, Puma has it's nice curvy design, and I30 is all square-ish, all amazing, every one in different way though... :3🧡

Love ❤️ it

0:13 _pebble hits for +1 damage_

Happiness one's a year in my street, Was fun this year. I mean the race in my street.

Absolutely hardcore❤

The Fabia at 4:30, very nice. ❤

I wonder if the co-driver simplifies the pace notes for this section.

amazing very nice

Now i'm reminded on why rally cars have numberplates/numberplate-like stickers

It should be mandatory in the UK for every family to own one of these cars.

This rallye cars is all i like much, the video in utubes i like all about this

So-called silent modified cars are loud on the street and full modified beast silent on the street, thats what we called PROFESSIONAL

3:46 LOL! Can't show that illegal move xD

02:05 ez elégé Audi-BMW jellemző manőver volt, szégyen egy ilyen verseny autóval ilyet művelni.

The green/white/gold Hyundai livery for Croatia 2023 🇮🇪 great tribute to the mayor of brattby #42 Craig Breen sadly missed never forgotten ❤

I remember a night on the Lombard RAC rally some years ago now heading n orth to go work on a couple of stages not going slow on the M6 when we wer absolutely left in the dust By an Alitalia Stratos and i do mean left in the dust never been passed so quickly

Sind schon klasse Autos.

This is exactly what they mean when they say rally car for the road

Croatia❤❤❤❤

Pembalap sesungguhnya dia bisa menempatkan diri dimana harus kencang dan dimana harus membatasi kecepatan. Kencanglah sesuai peruntukannya 👍

Naja, die Autos haben eine Strassenzulassung. Wenn man für die Strassenfahrt ein paar Teile abschraubt. Lustig ist, wenn sie in eine Verkehrskontrolle geraten und dann zusätzlich zur Zulassung ein zentimeterdickes "Erklärungsbuch" gezeigt wird in dem der Hersteller bescheinigt, dass all das verbaute Zeug besser ist als das Original und den Segen des werks hat. Wir hatten das Vergnügen einmal mit einem Wettbewerbs-Sport Quattro S1.

Omg rally car are sool cooll

That Toyota look like fighter jet...so amazing

La Yaris nuova fa paura 😮 i love u

❤❤❤

Does the codriver operate the GPS?

I saw this when heading to the Dumfries and Galloway rally

Other motorsports : We need to transport our cars to the track in a shiny Rosewood boxes lined with Velvet. Rally : Just drive there, lmao.

El yaris es pequeño pero brutal❤

I can imagine the engines are just dying to have some WOT!

i cant imagine how frustrating it would be to follow road rules in those beasts of cars.

I saw a Ford Fiesta rally car in the Lake District (UK) a few weeks ago, I think it was being tested. I believe M-Sport are based near there

Driving in traffic has to be hell on those clutches.

I have a thing for the wrx, so when I saw it, my heart jumped 😅

I'm not sure they still do this but in older days the co-drivers would drive the cars between stages in public road. That's why they are called co-drivers instead of navigators.

👍 so good

I really love this thing about Rallye, that they have to move the cars on public roads, unlike all those amazing circuit racing machines and thumbs up when they actually obey traffic rules / speed limits

Feels like this rally cars are commuting to work

This was filmed in Croatia FYI

Were you also driving through Slovenia?

Quaack! 3,47 Direkt über Knallrot gefahren!

beast mode deactivated ... rrr rrr rrr

Imagine seeing a race car missing half a rear bumper waiting for the light right next to you

현대.. 자랑스럽다

0:06 did he just overtake, on a red light, on a fucking crosswalk?

how did you not include the one with the blown tire and co driver sitting out the drivers window as a counter balance XD

Seeing a rally car drive around like a normal car seems so wrong. 😂

Yes officer it's stock

I want me a Hyundai i20n.. it's already a collector in my eyes! it's expensive unfortunately , with a mortgage it is hard ! maybe one day..

Puny little raley cars 😂.....passed a Daf Turbo Twin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (Dakar winning) on the A12 (Arnhem Utrecht) once. The sound of those diesels. Like driving next to a thunderstorm. But raley cars (all of them) have to be road legal and insured since they have to drive on public roads. BTW, that Alpine was a beauty.

LOL!!! Like bulls in a China shoo. Amazing discipline. 🐮💪🤘

Id have these at the lights

Os carros estavam em deslocação de uma prova para a outra...

Aaaa man! the beginning was in Zagreb, CRO! :D fuq yeah!

2:13 💪🏻

Maybe those are rally cars, but just few of those are wrc's
