Tests Jari-Matti Latvala Monte Carlo 2012

[PangeaSpreads]

You repeatedly crossed lanes, hit the curb on several occasions, failed to use your mirrors and drove far in excess of the stated speed limit for this road, I have no choice but to fail your driving test :)

[loicalex]

He drives like I do... on Need For Speed !!!

[uessaloniki]

3:55 like a fuckin' boss!!!

[flajwm]

last corner in this video :D Nice, very nice, but shows where latvala remains in need of a little perfection in his lines i reckon. coming into perfect, but then a tiny bit wide. And please dont tell me to Foxtrot Oscar, as this I think is the missing bit to beat our Holy Seb :)

[gjdoliveiras]

he is really fast less doubt! just need to keep the car till the end of each rally to be world champion this year.

[DEADmetal3]

Seems like perfect handling rally car to me.

[gerheri]

Jari will make it sooner or later! He will be champ!

[ivanovsd]

@gerheri yeah when Loeb retires

[112leo]

@gerheri better be before Ogier gets some more experience cause ogier is the next loeb

[fgl7777]

beautiful video just pure

[hampsterMSR]

Those brakes look great at night, when hot :) Good luck this year.

[Emoddd]

Latvala Great,fast and entertaining driver, but the end of video is the best! RIP Henry,we miss you,we miss your driving and we miss your name.

[Derbixrace]

0:56 so beatiful

[penedopes]

Zagatoi, very nice video!! Hurra the Latvala´s!!!!

[peanuts2105]

this is fucking mental. I drive like this on the way to work

[david929190]

That is absolute music

[azaroth75]

I'd like to see Galli driving this car :(

[OrsoPxOfficiel]

Bravo

[treboltenerife]

WOW!! 03:55

[Silvermac27]

So sorry to see him crash in main rally .Would have been some show down with Seb. Loeb.

[creationoftheworld]

0:35 , wow !

[MrCzarkowski]

na rajdzie tak nie jadą...ale rajd to rajd(trzeba być na mecie),a na testach ciśnie się na maxa żeby na rajdzie nie wydzwonić:)

[petreme1]

Perfect.

Thank You.

[red1950stude]

why why why can't the states have a Ford like this!!! Ridiculous cool car!

[wrczane]

I've seen Hirvonen and Solberg test, and they were nowhere near as on the limit as Latvala. Go Jarri go!! latvala, 2012 WRC Champ!

[TwinTurboSystem]

Great Driver !

[putkimies2]

Beautiful driving!

[fullfunk]

awesome its drifiting a bit out of corners no good for time but good for SHOW!

[cuistobrico]

wonderfull thanks for posting this

[biturboism]

Jari-Matti, the man who brought colour to WRC.

[carlesmiquel]

pressure bias for each set is defined based on the surface and the power distribution of three diffs... if deemed necessary, bias is dialed for rear or front discs, hence the glowing of only one set

[eltotoX]

@carlesmiquel The front discs always get more pressure than the rear, though, so I don't see how that would work.

[eltotoX]

@carlesmiquel Although, I suppose since the front discs are bigger they can take much more heat without rising their temperature so much.

[SiiliViin]

I saw that rear brake disks were red coloured when he brake and wonder what could be the reason for that? This is not locical if at same time front disks are not.

[ElliottHawkins1]

@SiiliViin im not 100% but im sure that the front and back breaks work at differnt preasures or maybe the rear were hotter due to the fact he was using the hand break , but just a guess

[roggerfrogger2]

Love the glowing disks

[a9503128]

Love the driving, the car is spot on. Must be the weather but it looks more like Cumbria rather than Monte Carlo. I hope these cars replace the hole in my heart since the end of the group B days.

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

This Ford is a fucking beast =D

[nathsgames]

good movie but the AR is wrong. I hate that.

[jansolanellas]

at 2:11 burning rear disc brake

[vint8686]

SOUND....mmmm



[rallyeactionde]

Nice Video!

[zaba80r]

at last perfect driving :) not like movie makers from Ken's Block shity ghymkana

[finbarh6]

@zaba80r you obv don't understand why he does gymkahana 3 and 4 apart from a little fun its to advertise his DC auto clothing line thats why theres dc products randomly in it

[declanbuoy1995]

@zaba80r actually block is a hell of a driver if you have seen him race properlly then you would know how skilled he is when hes not showing off

[trigonul]

some cockpit images would have been nice. fantastic ride

[14energy]

S2000 or??? nice driving

[tiago7169000]

Un putain de régal cette vidéo!!!!!!!!!!!

[varateam]

La BALA,Latvala.

He este chaval darle 2 añitos y tenemos otro Makinen.

[u2m4r1n3]

@maxell1221 it depends on the driver, what kind of feel they are going for and terrain. With a rear brake bias they won't get as efficient braking, but the will get more over steer, so they can take turns faster and brake during the turn without worrying about too much understeer.

[Noel94Jari]

How can he be so fast? I just love him !!!

[AccordGTR]

@Noel94Jari The secret to great rally cars is simple - grip. You get that from the special tires, special brakes, special suspension, steering and special chassis. Plus a turbo engine and AWD transaxle that is so responsive to driver's input. It also helps having a whole factory team behind you

[maxell1221]

Odd that the rear discs are glowing and not the fronts.... Don't you usually want more braking where the weight of the car is higher (the front)???

[rallychamp95]

@maxell1221 for left you braking you have the bias to the back slightly but this changes rally to rally. On my nova i have the brakes 60/40 but the rear still lights up also. also depends on the size of the discs

[DriverRico]

Très sympa ces images !

Quelle attaque notamment dans les enchainements lorsque la voiture sort des courbes en glisse des 4 roues !!!

[GangstaWerk]

Simply awesome! Latvala is a beast.

[KoMDraegast]

Future world champion, I think he can only improve further at this point as he is still years away from reaching a plateau in his driving ability. I think once Loeb goes nothing will stop this young man

[diegosjd]

OMG: 3:54

[FMECCTV]

he is so fast! same aggresive style as gronholm

[AOKI19710201]

I like it!

[ametitu73]

t y

[cescobar2]

nice video

[mrstant1]

looking good matti :)

[teknicol]

I thought I could drive untill I saw this guy....WOW.

[Dzidza1978]

What a lovely little beast

[tohtorigyro]

not sped up at all...

[pascalnature]

0'57 : passage d'extra-terrestre !

[swingAE86]

ford looks great

[netdriller]

Back brake discs glowing at night. More rear bias than front?

[Tracer2k]

@netdriller could also be the handbrake

[netdriller]

@Tracer2k The handbrake can't produce this much heat. It's used for a fraction of a second just to help the car enter in oversteer. The discs get to a glowing state only when exposed to high friction for a long and intense period of time such as heavy braking from high speed. Otherwise the brake ducts will cool them off.

[KoMDraegast]

@netdriller

Yes. Some drivers prefer more rear bias because it helps with high speed cornering, you can use the slide of the brakes locking up a bit to your advantage to get a better angle into the corner hence coming out faster and shaving off a couple tenths of a second off your stage time, rallies have been won by less than that

[Andrei1900]

MAN! u need to tell me wich car will Hirvonen drive in 2012?

[FreakShowFactor]

@Andrei1900 He is the DS3 WRC second pilot behind Loeb !!! He will enjoy french technology ! lol

[0understeer]

@Andrei1900 Mikko will drive a Citroen DS3 WRC for the Citroen works team

[electrobitt]

the winner 2012!!

[cosminjur]

Very spectacular style. A lot more sideways than Loeb. For viewers is better but for sure that with this style he will cannot beat Loeb. Nice work from Jari Matti.

[geo43ok]

σωπα ρε μαλακα grip!!!!!!!

[ManukoSama]

Great Wastegate valve sound..!!!

[iowabuggychamp7]

is it just me or does the fiesta RS look like its handling a lot looser than the DS3 in these test vids? the ford just looks nervous. like its sliding all over the road

[web123web456]

@iowabuggychamp7

It's not just you. But the Fiesta seems to be fast also.

[FreakShowFactor]

La ford aime bien taper du cul à droite lol. Sinon, j'espère pour eux qu'ils ont fait des tests sur autre chose que des portions style autoroute...

La vidéo est excellente (la petite vue du dessus à un moment, trop fort).

[TheRapacci]

fast demon..

[udumaeG]

better than solber for sure:D

[MegaSagene]

@udumaeG..... Solberg had his first test..... he need some time to get used to the car

[rovampera]

Fantastic Ford and Jari Matti!! Thank you so much Zagatoi!!!

[ZAGATOI]

@rovampera Thank's !

[axelriet]

Hmm lots of brakes to the rear...

[WisdomeSage1989]

Lots of people are out for testing man wow

[ernestasluk123]

I love that Fiesta RS!

[RallyGabi]

the winner of Monte Carlo Rally 2012 :))

[renntv]

wow - fast!! Great video, thx 4 sharing :)

[FlypowerVTS]

Loeb a du souci à se faire... ces Ford sont rapide et Latvala est vraiment monstrueux... et son nouveau rôle de leader semble lui aller comme un gent. La saison WRC va être palpitante!

Merci pour ces images Mr Z!

[MrTreminuti]

If you want to see action on today's Wrc look at this boy....Thank you so much Zagatoi
