Ayrton Senna Rally car test day1986

[drreik]

does anyone know his performance . time he made and is he good at rally .

[osiraphael]

Did anyone ever manage to get a full copy of this video? Sadly I have never been able to find the full 22min version.

[MovieMad007]

he looks very nervous there!!!

[bonkeye42]

he was a legend in F1 but if he took up rallying he would have been a god !

[Marcus666Sund]

Of course Senna would be driving fast, but not faster than Vatanen or any other group B driver!

[MrXispas]

Can we see it now? He's dead...so...for me he was the best, but there are a lot of good drivers in this planet. Thank God!

[999LAZAR999mne]

You live in my heart every day Ayrton!!!ADDIO

[MercsDude]

GRANDE AYRTON!! We miss you!

[brucemclaren1973]

Até Rally o fera guio,saudades.

[DannyBoySmith1993]

I'm amazed at the fact that he never competed in a rally event or even drove a rally car before this & yet he jumps into these crazy rally cars & drives them so well! Man I wish I was alive before he died just to see for myself at how good he was. (technically I was but I was 8 months old on that tragic day)

[uketuber]

I have the British Autosport or Autocar magazine with a write up of this day. Senna drove the rally driver's car and found it quite challenging. Then they swapped cars and within a few laps the rally driver was pulling nearly competitive times in Senna's Lotus!. Testimony to how trully great rally drivers really are.

[japda9]

this is very interesting given that around this time period was the end of groups c

[Rallyeali]

@japda9 Group B I assume you mean? None of those cars apart from the 6R4 were group B cars.

[TheEngland72]

@Rallyeali What about the Escort RS 1700T wasnt that a Group B car?? 

[mofomcslimjim]

@TheEngland72 The RS 1700T was developed for Group B but I don't think it ever rallied, therefore I'm not sure you can say it is a true "Group B" car.

(b.t.w. I think it's a Gartrac Genesis G3 (Mk3 Esc with Mk2 running gear), it certainly doesn't sound like a turbo engine (i.e. RS1700t))

[TheEngland72]

@mofomcslimjim Your right about it not beeing a true Group B car, But im not sure if its a Mk3 with Mk2 running gear, if you listen carefully from 2:17 they talk about 4 wheel drive???

[audis2quattro1]

@mofomcslimjim I think you're right - Definately a Gartrac G3, it sounds like a V6 though and not a BDA or equivalent, probably it was one of Richard Iliffe's creations.

[audis2quattro1]

@japda9 Wow Man, I would have loved to see a Porche 356 going through the forestry at 225 mph with Derek Bell at the wheel.....

[Ayrton4everrr]

I too this vid for senna!!! ... Yeah I wish lol

Senna in rally, that would have been something once he retired from F1 :D

RIP ayrton!!!!!!!!!! :(

[lelangeani]

god... I LOVE youtube!

[RFreigeldorff]

@lelangeani

appropriate comment.

to have content like this at your fingertips is quite an evolutinoary achievement.

great footage, humble, sympathetic bloke..

[lelangeani]

@RFreigeldorff man.. unfortunately, i already closed this page a few days ago, but I believe it was in motorsport's site. Anyway, this reporter wrote all about the day senna drove a bunch of rally cars in 1986! How he got there, not too excited, then, how he felt it was a challenge and, after a few laps, was already going fast. One of the professional drivers said that he (Senna), within a week, would be able to compete. Then, Senna even said that rally is more exciting than F1(..

[lelangeani]

@RFreigeldorff but he could never drive rally professionally, because it's too much risk. Very, very cool stuff!

And, you see... as you said, two clicks and bam there it is! this is from 86 and i had never seen this before! awesome!

cheers mate

[NickHDGaming]

imagine senna in a v8 supercar lol

[MrShark214]

What if..........

[tonypap1]

I love Senna's nickname "Harry" due to the fact that his mechanics couldn't promote his name.

So nice

[mauriciodemorais74]

orgulho de ser brasileiro!!!

[ashacrasha]

...and yet Kubica gets slammed for doing the same thing.

[rasvial]

Cause kubica ended his career doing this.. ayrton is casually driving (still fast of course.. its senna, but this isnt a rally)

Look at the setting.. open fields. If he crashed there's nothing really he'd have to fear.

Whereas kubica COMPETING on a much more dangerous stage..

Kubica is slammed for making extremely dangerous choices for no apparent gain, and having lost that gamble. Ayrton made a fairly safe choice, and most likely was making a promo bit/having fun more than anything

[boyofbears]

@rasvial Kubica is set to return mate. his career is not over yet

[belmon125]

its normally said that an f1 driver is not good at rally. But Senna had a naturall control of every car in every situation. Plus the turbos f1 were loosing a lot of traction that days like a rally car.

[ribinoct76]

Holy shit, Senna driving a 6R4....thats just mental, wish i could seen the results though.

[3zozthecoolman]

Imgeine him driving 037 that would be awesome

[RedhotIta1]

i think They got a really large road. Today looks a superspeed way xD

[burnsdj7]

Hi 01ejones, I've had a look on ebay but cant find where you have this vid for sale, any clues? cheers

[minirampskater]

@burnsdj7 just wondering, did you ever get a reply to this question? cheers

[burnsdj7]

@minirampskater Hi no never had any answer so god knows where its being sold!

[azo112]

i wish i could have been co driver to senna even with the worst and slowest car of the world

[Mirren81]

something tells me this guy would be good

[thehitchrules]

SUPERSTAR in the making.

[NOXXism]

OH GOD I THINK I HAVE A RALLY MAGAZINE WHERE THIS PICTURE SHOWS

[kallo182]

Okay Guys, im not Sure, but for me it looks like this is NOT Senna...

Stop the Video at 0:33 ...

For me it looks like an Double ..... smomeone who looks like Senna..... but.

Im not sure, but the Person looks very Strangs : /

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@kallo182 Stop taking it (whatever it is) :(

[IHMISPAJATSO]

R.I.P Ayrton Senna

[133839297]

Precious vid.

[dan2007rs]

Pior é ver hoje essa formula 1 chata, onde constroem "ídolos" que não tem mais do que 20% de participação na superioridade do carro, já que a aerodinamica, os kers e asas da vida, e (pasmem) os pneus, tem mais importância do que a habilidade do piloto!

Desculpem quem admira Schumacher e Vettel, mas nos carros que o Senna pilotou, e fazia miséria, eles não fariam nem metade.

Lembrem-se, quando Senna morreu, conduzia à frente de Schumacher, com um carro pior. E havia feito as três poles.

[jileao]

@dan2007rs

Exatamente. E eu fico puto de ver como ainda tem gente que não percebe essas diferenças. Essa F1 de hoje é muito mais carro e etc do que piloto. O tempo ainda vai fazer justiça (espero).

[carmodifire]

Genius

[fueldragster]

At 2:00, is that the RS1700T he's driving?

[littleayrton54]

The best for ever...

[TruenoandLevin86]

Makes you wonder how Senna would be like in the WRC.

[Ctiradloss]

@TruenoandLevin86 Or in the Group B... In Lancia Stratos or Audi Quattro : )

[thehitchrules]

@TruenoandLevin86 Shit hot. He was already up to scratch on his second go !!

[carsismeZ06]

@TruenoandLevin86 That, and it makes you wonder what Loeb would be like in F1. He did pretty well in testing.

[X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

@TruenoandLevin86 ´

Talent stays talent - he´d be a great rally driver !!

Jim Clark drove one rally very, very fast. The really great drivers are able to drive everything fast !

[03iamhopeless]

@TruenoandLevin86 he would be mcrae, tommy and loeb daddy's. and kenny from the bloke is shit.

[GooseMobius118]

@TruenoandLevin86 If it had wheels and an engine Senna could kick ass in it.

[TheGreatXanadu]

@TruenoandLevin86 WONDER!!!???!! He would own like every other motor sport variant he has ever undertaken. THIS IS SENNA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MY FRIEND!!!!!!

[gp4nut]

great footage! i heard about the test but never knew about this video!

[WernerTon]

wow!! didnt know this!! brilliant brilliant brilliant!! thanx for sharing!

[JunkieJay3000]

Priceless footage. Thanks.

[cancianrally]

1986 ... B group time... could Senna be faster than Kankkunen, Biasion, Salonen, Blonqvist, Vatanen, Mikkola, etc ... I do not know ... But surely in the tarmac rally`s, he'd give a lot of work for everyone!!!!

[exceolino]

Great and rare footage. Pay attention: the one in the car with Ayrton is Phil Collins. Actually he was the owner of the car and very fond of rallies.

[monts01]

@exceolino Phil Collins the rally driver... not the singing dude....

[roewedge]

the fact your trying to sell this on ebay is unbelievable... but thank you :)

[maladsyko]

thnx for this rare video.

[videoq2008]

COOL! What did the guy said at 0:24 and everybody laugh?

[jordan7639]

@videoq2008 'A pretty fast wheel change by your standards Ayrton.' Not too sure what it meant though.

[adicolour75]

senna could have been a multiple champion in any motor racing category he competed in

[42clare]

I am happy to see these images!!!!

Ayrton----- the one and only!!!!

Thank You!

[dimiscamvideomaker]

It`s very nice to see him again & again.

Testing a rally car is something very rare.

Special thanks for those videos...

Videos like this - IT`S NEVER ENOUGH.

[RubensKimi]

Pictures very rare, it is very well and pleases to find it young, also in fact a few "Rallies "...

Thank you

[lucianoestivill]

The last car on the video: is it a rover car?

[pablichor]

MG Metro 6R4

[andy22223333]

@lucianoestivill Yes, a Group B "Monster" the MG Metro 6R4.

[Ayrton4everrr]

Ayyyyyyyyrton!!!

[stormstd]
