WRC onboard camera - Colin McRae

yeah seriously hes running at 100% on a road, not a circuit

he crashed really hard in this rally eh? RIP

collin increible!!!! q piloto por dios!!!! q rapido q era!!!... sin palabra number one for ever

dio che mostro.....mal di testa solo a guardarlo... big colin...

Respect what controle pure class :D

that's A LOT OF "driving"

: ) anyway my favourite is Colin, but when we are speaking from games, i think it's gotta be Richard Burns Rally, it's a REAL simulator... i like, and i don't like the arcades!

i think rally drivers are better than F1 drivers... but i don't hate them, only alonso, he's have a too big face....

Colin mcrae the best!

the numbers are the turns degree of difficulty

i could watch these all day

hmmm thats a big call. It's just a totally different game in my opinion.

LEGEND! look at the skill involved here. formula 1 drivers haven't got anything on these guys

I love that in the colin mcrae rally game I have, the map co-ordinator (?) has the same kinda voice. And there's this map I played when it's four jumps and then a 2 turn. He says "and jump and jump and caution big jump and double caution big jump and 2 left minus" lol I was like "HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE THIS WITHOUT CRASHING!?" They really are unbelievable drivers. I think rally might be the hardest motorsport that is commonly known at least

yes and I think that the numbers also is a suggestion for wich gear the driver should use during the turn

the best rally driver ever.. thanks you colin for bringing us to dream!! r.i.p.champion!

"dont cut" yeah i wouldnt want to cut

colin...una leyenda...un mito...el mejor

...amazing...

3.50 wow O_O THe Best Driver, Ever

When the co driver says minus, it means that there is a gradient drop during the turn this helps the driver gague the entry speed aswell as line into the turn.

hmmm ok thanks alot

azza the smaller the number the tighter the turn is...

i want some sexy subscribers!

almost feels like Colin was playing initial-d battle stage...lol. RIP colin...

Im sure colins system works on gear selection for corners. Theres a video of him explaning pacenotes

Haha it's the same question and same answer (and some wrong answers too, still) all over the reactions :D McRae and Grist only rarely used the 1 for non-hairpins, e.g. when a very tight road curls around a tree with very little space to use. Practically the same pace note system is used in the Colin McRae games, without plus and minus though.

wow thanks for telling me thats pretty interesting

The numbers are the severity of the turn. 6 being the least, and 1 being the tightest (though sometimes drivers use hairpin as the tightest) All drivers have their own system, which is loosely based on this. You may hear them saying "K" right or "K" left, which by the shape of the letter may give you a clue. When they have pace notes such as these, they have travelled the stages a few times at a far slower speed than in the event, and written the notes on all of the corners.

could you find and link this video please

not sure not a rally driver. just iknow thats what the numbers mean. in RBR i have never heard my co pilot say 6.

oh ok so what would be a 6?

shakedown of stage (practice run) dont have to wear full fire suit while in shakedowns

type of turn.

what do they mean by 4 right and 3 right etc

Its warm

wat a driver nd nicky spot on wit da notes RIP colin

awesome colin

R.I.P this is the best pilot of WRC

he looks COOL in the t-shirt!

you know its hot in a rally car

its boilin inside the cockpit

can anyone explain to me the T-shirt!!!!!!!!!! Colin one of the greatest. please the t-shirt

It is just the sharpness on the turn. 1-> open turn 6-> tightest turn the other numbers (30, 40, 60) is the distance to the next turn. I guess in meters. 3 left minus 70 6 left the minus and the plus are like narrows or widens.

yea it doesnt suggest what gear he should be in, but more or less the difficulty, and somewhat what gear it COULD be taken in.

Colin McRae in his element.. and a t-shirt

Oh absolutely. I'm just saying that all of todays drivers are boring as fucking hell. The entire circus is more boring today. The night stages are gone, Kenya is gone, the mad drivers are gone, the spectacular jumps are gone etc. If I would beat todays drivers I wouldn't be sitting on youtube and complain. I'd obviously be driving myself if I could :P I'm not even sure I have the guts to drive at those speeds at all.

Hhaa, I bet that all of the todys WRC drivers would beat you.

Sorry... To be honest, I don't think the number corresponds to the gear. I think it depends on the speed and difficulty of the corner. There are many 6es directly after harpins that are way too sharp to have been a 6th gear corners after a long straight. Keep in mind that he makes/corrects his own notes and that they are created at low speeds at a pre run on the thursday of the event. I think the grade has more to do with the amount of brake force needed than gear...

Exactly. McRae uses a system of 1-6 and harpins. Hairpins are the sharpest and 6es are the fastest corners. He has this strange "plus" system as well that I have not fully comprehended yet though.

Miss him... Both he and Marko Märtin are gone from the WRC. There just aren't any mad people left, just sensible boring people like the bastard Loeb and other "I drive like a granny but still manages to magically complete the stages the fastest"-drivers.

i didnt know that colin was dead...:( holly shit im sad now..RIP colin,the BEST!

The Flying Scotman

RIP Colin McRae

er war der beste zur seiner zeit wir werden ihn vermissen :-(

Yes the 1-6 in the pace notes indicate how sharp the curve is. If you haven't reached that gear yet then that means you don't have to brake. I guess any driver who uses this system will after some time focus (:P) on his speed and not on the gear, and shift up/down based on how his speed relates to the pace note.

No I am not wrong. The only reason the gears sometimes don't correspond is because he had not reached the speed to use that gear. When a six left is called it means that he could enter it at a sixth gear speed(the appropiate speed range for sixth gear). For instance if there was a 2left into a 6right there is no way he could build up the speed to enter sixth gear so he would go through in either 2nd or 3rd. He notes all corners in the same method regardless what the previous corner was.

You are 100% wrong. Just watch the video. Count the gear he's throughout the video. They rarely correspond.

[QUOTE=epicvelocity]He explicitly says "THEY DO NOT CORRESPOND TO GEARS." [/QUOTE] I don't know where you heard that kid because I never heard him say it. In fact he says that he uses a gear and speed system (slow 3 left = A slow third gear left hand corner OR A fast 3 right = a fast third gear right corner) You may have got confused when he enters a 2 left (Second gear left) into a 6 left (a sixth gear left)he says it's not sixth gear but that is only because he had not yet reached 6th gear.

Amazing.

R.I.P, Colin best ever rally pilot. Mate you were the best and still are the best.

nicky grist would of changed is pants after that stage.......

I love the Focus, Ford did well making this car. Is excellent to see the great Colin Macrae mastering it.

In our hearts forever!

Ti ricorderemmo per sempre... sei stato un mito e sempre lo sarai... arrivederci colin...

what a man!!!

Es simplemente un maestro no cabe duda alguna

awesome this was from 1999 the first season of the Focus WRC it was so unreliable that year

moj idol....bol to vhlapík....krasna jazda

great co-driver and even a greater driver...

oh yes...he had it all....

haha you know you're watching a speed freak when he's in top gear and still pulling for another! Great memories.....

It's a sequential gearbox which means that you only need to touch the clutch for starting and 1st gear. After that you don't touch the clutch again that's why Rally-Drivers use their left foot for braking. There's a nice video with Colin Explaining it: Just search for "Colin McRae - Pedal to the metal FULL"

what gearbox is that? sequential or manual??

R.I.P Colin, greatest rally driver in history!

helicopter accident. he was the pilot. although he was licensed to fly his license was suppose to be renewed before he even flew the chopper. o yeah don't worry about feeling like a tard, i didn't know about his death until almost half a year later.

I know im a tard for asking but how did he die?

No, he didn't. In the vid he goes through "3" corners at virtually all gears. Count them off, then watch "Colin McRae Pace Notes". He explicitly says "THEY DO NOT CORRESPOND TO GEARS."

no need to apply for the navigator position if you got a learning disability or a stutter!

The man was a driving legend ,he will never be forgotten.

The Legendary ColinMcRae will never die!

colin mcrae u absolute legend!

Perfect, great explanation! Thanks!

Opens means the corner radius increases, so he can speed up a bit as he goes through the corner. Tightens means means it decreases, so he needs to slow down through the corner. The numbers let him know how fast to take a corner. If a corner opens, the first half may be a 3 and the second half a 4, for example. If the corner tightens, it might go from a 4 to a 3. Make sense?

Classic The Master @ Work

McRae used the number to correspond to the gears watch this video watch?v=nWWsyVMHK6g RIP Colin McRea

Anyone know what open vs. tightens is? Open =...gas after the corner. Tightens = slow after corner?

Yes, you're right. 1 = Slow as hell. 6= fast sweeping corner.

Thats a huge slide at 3.52, rip col u legend

As far as I know it's the other way round. 6 is easy and 1 is hard. 1 or 2 are usually hairpin turns.

R.I.P Colin

The guy who explains the words of the co-driver is little bit wrong. Most of the drivers use numbers for how easy or hard a corner is: 1-easy, 6-hard. Plus means gas, minus means no gas. Example: "300 left 5 minus, right 1 plus, 100 right 3 minus" that means "300m straight, hard left no gas into easy right full gas, 100m straight not really hard no gas" hope that helps. RIP Colin, you were one of the greatest!

Awesome video.

WRC is boring without you Colin. RIP.
