Porsche 911 GT3 RS meets Francois Delecour- evo Magazine

[ir3a11ydontn0]

i hate the french

[bballplaya123678]

So why was he saying it was a mistake for people to come see the porsche at 10:30?

[Twilight1FIN]

@bballplaya123678 I believe Francois is trying to explain it is a mistake to bring Peugeot's, Renault's or Citroen's to the rallies, people want to see Porsche or even a Ferrari there. Just like in the old days.

[SPLR415]

This video single handedly changed my mind about Porsches. I always respected them, but now I really want one!!!

[Boleslav69]

I agree with him in every way. I'm 24 years old and i also want to see cars like Porsche rallying as well. I mean check few clips of 997 rallying and compare it to anything else. You just cant. Two different worlds.

And such joy seeing him drive and smiling. That's what it is all about. Putting smile on our faces. !!!

[MarcoTav18]

This guy has got some serious skills!

[Tommy493]

It would be interesting to see a shootout in a GT3 RS Delecour vs Röhrl...

[Chvija1986]

@Tommy493 Apsolutely!!!

[pepekg]

Nice but next time turn the camera to road. I would like to see road, no drivers

[JahBushi]

that is one happy GT3 RS :)

[correzzana1992]

"Here at night, when there's nobody coming towards you, then you go flat-out! Cause believe me, when i drive now, i go SLOW."

[matt965vtec]

Is it just me or does Francois look a lot like Daniel Craig (James Bond)

[WRCExpert]

@matt965vtec Francois still looks like Francois Delecour, the man, the legend we know from the past ;-)

[PlayHiFi]

"The best is to come here a night, when there is nobody coming toward you. Then you can go flat-out" LOL

[JikOnAStick]

Inbelieveable!

[balitaSR]

now Evo Magazine guys, please re-shoot this now the 4.0 GT3 RS is out ;)

[SRQshark]

Chris looks like hes about to shit his pants XD

[isftish]

Love how racing drivers drive without emotion. They just get on with the job, in this case, driving very fast down a stage of the monte carlo rally.

[spaq11]

WHY is this not in 720 HD?!?!

[dakaelo]

i think he had to be careful not to show the front view so francois doesn't get prosecuted.

[jorisewout]

On the way back I think he pooped his pants. Epic, I realy loved this clip. This is what I want to see if a car like this needs to be reviewed.

[an50331]

you guys need hd

[Nate00000000000000]

wpw drifting that beast

[guerrillaexec]

If we would have had a wider field of view this video would have been better. It was still fun to watch though.

Two angles at the same time would have made this video amazing. Like an additional view from the driver's side window post - so we could have seen the trajectory of the car and what the driver was doing.

[mtross70]

im a huge corvette fan and own them but this is what i believe a sports car should be. the gt3 rs isn´t the fastest car on the track but it embodies the pure essence of competitive driving. great job porsche ,everyone else is just trying to catch up

[mojworker27]

"Its quite an experience, absolutely fantastic absolutely fantastic!" just look at his face at 5:30 onwards. Great vid, more of the same please! we need monsieur delacour in gt2 rs with chris harris with car/road/cabin footage.

[mojworker27]

"Its quite an experience, absolutely fantastic absolutely fantastic!" just look at his face at 5:30 onwards. lol

[danthemanpatrick]

Delecour's accent = win

[Pricklyhedgehog72]

Chris Harris' facials are classic, what Delecour does at 11:10ish and the giggles afterwards...what a car. Amazing car control.

[sanfranfries]

granted permission from commission

[straight6lover]

i think that he's a really good pilot, but with this vid' i wont feel really good to sit with him... my oncle is slower for sure but i'm not afraid with he's 996 gt3

[budha59]

What an excellent video! It's great to see the heros of yesteryear still showing us young guns how to drive a car.

Francois' enthusiasm is infectious and you can see he enjoys everything about cars. Well done!

[WRCExpert]

@budha59 Yup his enthusiasm goes from his heart, a heart of rally driver. And he still shows his skills (finished 5th at Monte Carlo Rally 2011) and he will be back at Monte 2012..

[Chvija1986]

@WRCExpert and what he did at Monte 2012 :-) fantastic result and great show in the last stage... :-)

[s9ecialk]

hahaha he is he is a total legend, he doesn't give a shit does he, what a top guy

[ginjaninja1988]

Gota love 11:10 onwards... u can see the cheeky smirk on Delecour's face.

[jpzhouutube]

great car, love the GT3, see mine and description in the video (do not LOL):

/watch?v=is49Z8rmhLk

[ArielLiz10]

whats so amazing is his face during his test drive in that Porsche. He is so focused! Even crazier then that is he said he was going "SLOW"! AWESOME. I can only wish I was the one in that car with him.

[funkycoldm3dina]

Not only once but 3 times!!!!

[mikeyp1974]

a great driver in a great drivers car, awesome!!! i bet most of these cars bought, never get shown what the cars full potential is. i saw one of these in the supermarket the other day fart arsing about with a speed bump, you see too many ferrari, porkers and lambos stuck in london traffic or stuck in the slow lane on the motorway with some oink posing at 60mph, shame really

[Holyfield]

"Porsche: You don't need to touch engine at all!"

[vikfox8]

hahahha the evo jurnalist guy shit in his pants ! :))) :PP

[Tunerboy8732]

This guy's driving is awesome.

[SinoilJr]

He talks classic! He tries to cite the values and the whole climate that used to exist in rallying the during the old years! Now the number 1 priority is money, publicity, promotion and advertising. There is no true wrc any more. One just needs to watch old rallies and observe the cars, mechanics, the difference between the special stage kilometers covered in each rally then and now, feelings, conditions,,spectators(absolut­ely aware about what they were watching and why they were there),..

[haisano]

@SinoilJr I wouldn't say there's no true WRC anymore - it just has changed significantly from the years past. Still, Delecour is an absolute legend and watching him drive this car is truly great :)

[DumpValvesAndDnB]

4:30 haha! i remember reading about this in evo mag a couple of months back and thats pretty much how i immagined it. i want to be in that car!

[crockett616]

Its difficult to find publicity with clio, peugeot, nanananana :) Great guy

[Dfrogman]

is that his evo 9? lol

[thrust2199]

...you guys are so stoned.....:-)))

..where have you been all night long...

...skiing perhaps?....

[aifodasse]

11:12 that sure was some good oversteer nice to see outside the car...

[lujoebonjo]

This video was just filled with awesome!

[seroyer2]

Why is it that racing drives hate riding along with other racing drives. although I understand why he is scared shitless I would be to. Francois is a fucking mad man.

[Xetenor]

This video is awesome! The facial reactions are funny lol esp at 11:16!! Car sounds awesome and goes like mad. Now that is what I need to be doing on a sunday...cruize and then drive like mad.

[Xetenor]

This video is awesome! The reactions are funny lol. Car sounds awesome and goes like mad. Now that is what I need to be doing on a sunday...cruize and then drive like mad.

[35yearoldboy]

"HRRM...so the road is getting abit narrower now!?" lol

[mentalmonkey26]

The Greastest Road Test. Ever! Fuck Top Gear!

[14energy]

"the best is to come here at night, then you can go flat out" - a true legend! And this is how we also do back home hehehe

[birdywins]

evo @ 12:00 Poor man's super car :D

[mentalmonkey26]

@birdywins thats not what he said.

[aemst]

When you're a racing driver, it's not a roundabout, it's a skidpad.

[hops111]

This guy manhandles this car like a woman

[silverfoote]

Wow..absolutely classic. Great, REAL, review by a professional.

[craigyBow]

Legend!!!

[idin1976]

I just needed the camera to show the road instead.

BTW, this was nice. Hopefully it will help me forget latest Evo COTY (which imo was even worse than the M3 GTS rear spoiler).

[markandrach]

fantastic

in polls 95% of people think they are good drivers! bull shit

the only good drivers are the pro racers.....they are a differant league

[MrSpliff2K9]

EVO needs to do its own TV programme i could watch videos like this all day id even watch the repeats on Dave!!! Its better than Top Gear and this video is only 13mins long

[gmillergt3]

Check out my videos. I own a white 2011 GT3 RS with a sharkwerks track exhaust and I have videos on track with flybys and inside the car!

[cimino39]

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. I drive GT3 on the track quite often but to see such a passionate driver like FD having so much fun, just confirms how good this car is and how cool is rally driving. Also, it's good to see a rally star behaving like a normal kid with a good toy. Well done EVO

[frenchguy09]

Bring back group B rallye please that was the best.

[frenchguy09]

I can't believe he's done all these on public roads , I wonder how fast francois was going

[abidnessman]

one thing I recall of GT3's they like a smooth surface

[pendulum95]

this is the video that made me want a GT3 RS. Incredible.

[dimitrigregorieff]

Why do you ever point the camera towards the road???

[John814]

@dimitrigregorieff They can't show what he's doing on public roads I imagine.

[jamsee88]

11:10 looks like fun!

[jamsee88]

11:10 = Lad moment.

[droptheleash0]

Fantastic, just two guys having an absolute blast, felt like I was with them

[Loadedskate]

Definitely one of the best car videos i've seen, if only we could have got some views looking forward, make another haha :)

[KostaJCW]

Two legends. Porsche and Delecour.

Absolutely fantastic footage. Lucky man Mr Harris!

[ZuuL1555]

One of the best car videos I have ever seen! Harris + Delecour = amazing TV

[FormulaWill]

It would be wonderful if Porsche, Ferrari, Audi returned to rally racing. Unfortunately the WRC rules would make it difficult with the 300 HP restrictions. Great Video EVO. Thank you.

[edgo45]

@FormulaWill true u know not many people know about ferrari's rally history but I think it would be nuts if they brought back group B and those three went head to head suburu wouldn't stand a chance

[ptitberu]

Rien que le bruit me donne la chair de poule... Ah, si j'étais riche...

[ifukedurmomtwice]

the french dude knows what hes talkin about

[WRCExpert]

@ifukedurmomtwice probably bcz he is a runner-up world rallye champion :)

[orangeorphan]

is that his evo IX? i have that same car!

[777094087]

LOL :DD AWESOME :)

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

Francois what an absolute legend!

[segocarib]

Quel bel exemple... Faire ca sur route ouverte, c'est assez débile. Qu'il s'appelle Delecour ou Dupont Lajoie...

C'est très décevant.

[RomanSedlak]

hahahaa chris face :D

[marcus1aurelius1]

12:01 LOL the guy at the roundabout waiting to merge must think he died and went to heaven!

[ShAwNeXsHeN]

AWESOME!!!

If this was filmed in australia and released for public viewing, i think you would have the entire australian police force on your ass.

[JackNapier19]

@ShAwNeXsHeN It was filmed in France...

[XanDer026]

@ShAwNeXsHeN Australia!? Then why does he drive on the right side of the road? They filmed this in France.

[ShAwNeXsHeN]

@XanDer026 OMG!!! is english a foreign language to you guys? I said "IF" THIS WAS FILMED IN AUSTRALIA...

Actually take time to read these posts properly before replying.

ROFL

[XanDer026]

@ShAwNeXsHeN Actually yes, it is a foreign language to me because i'm not English so ROTFFLMFAO and so on...

[seroyer2]

"how did I end up doing this!!!"

[loster88]

that man is a maniac xD

a good maniac

[whatever0481]

does anybody know how to block those stupid ads at the beginning of a clip at the bottom? thanks

[alos31]

That was awesome

[Loadedskate]

bahahaha this guy is a legend

[dirtydonki]

Nutters! LOL! Wow wottacar!

[Bot944]

ohh my god....that sound

[craigyBow]

Legend!

[ivanhoe1526]

@LawrenceLugar1 HA...

[OMGz1122]

wow rally drivers have like the biggest guts in the world among other drivers. and funny part is that he said he was going slow hahahaha

[F5Eagressor]

He's so relaxed and focused just like he's playing a videogame, simply brilliant

[PcarCzar]

@LawrenceLugar1 you do that. enjoy those maintenance costs while im winning the race!

[dakaelo]

why in gods name don't we get to see the front view!

[mooshdaddy123]

this is amazing



[Nation010]

This car is a German wonder even God will love this car, I understand how Francois feels, car is sensational i am amazed they could have a conversation considering how loud the car can be at just 1500rpm let alone near 7500-8500max you end up shouting most of the time. Better than sex "GT3rs" wonder machine

[supercooled]

A white Porsche is very understated. This car sounds like an angry animal ready to attack at any given moment.

[12valvepower1]

@supercooled german racing white

[MagicAyrtonforever]

The french are so mad!! they really are an emotional bunch, I like that a lot though hehe .. I started laughing out loud when Delecour started off !!!

[luismajimjimenez]

He looks like Daniel Craig

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@luismajimjimenez nah, he can't be that thug ugly!!!

[salskyline]

This is one Mad car period !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Slavianatore]

"nanananna.." I love french :D

[xSVTxTERM1NATORx]

This guy's freakn awesome.

[lzhmax]

oh man, he's cool. hope one day i could own a gt3rs and drive like that

[newKINGdeVan]

@ the 7:30 mark, when asked if he wanted the controls off.....his eyes lite up with excitement! Gotta love pure driving! Thank you Porsche for helping us to stay young @ heart. "Yeah....yeah, yeah". Bravo Francois!

[armaniwang07]

the most asian old people doesn't have quick reaction times like man!

[molnarpj]

If Francois says its a good car, we have to believe him. But the fella Chris or who, why didnt show the road. I know Delecour well, Ive seen some onboard footage with him, but id like to see what is the bends like on the front of the car. But nince video anyway.

[evofreak1304]

I want one !

[brucecheewai]

awesome video. lol. francois delecour.... a name i haven't heard in a LONG time!

[ApexOversteer]

lol, it's not often you see Chris Harris being that scared.

Francois, you're a legend!!!

[Murphy252000]

This man and how he drives this car has inspired me to start a petition, this great car and this man should be allowed. The main car makers in world rally should not be allowed to call the shots, anyone should be able to enter as long as they fit the criteria.

The group is called: Bring Porsche back into rally, Mr FRANCOIS DELACOUR. Merci :)

I did this only because I wanna see him driving like this in real life.

[Murphy252000]

@Murphy252000 On Facebook sorry ha ha.

[Murphy252000]

Amazing Chris, we want more of this sorta shit..........

[Soulless795]

He gotta work with with clutch :P

[saweet999]

2 of these in the world? what?

[twoorfour]

Is it wrong that I'm a little bit in love with Francois after watching this video? Absolute bloody legend!!

[AndySlide]

Francois is right - let this car in the WRC!!! A proper car instead of the shopping trolleys we have now.

[kofib3]

Didnt think much of the 911s until I saw this vid. I would get this GT3 RS if money was no object. To me you get this feeling of how the car would perform on a good everyday road thanks to Francois Delecours' great driving ability and the reaction on Chris Harris face. Enough Said!

[mojworker27]

Look at Mr Delecour @ 10:42 he's looking for the next corner his head just moves forward like a big cat going for their prey, I think rallye drivers are better than F1 drivers period. Mr Delecour absolute class.

[Ktmzqw]

@mojworker27 That´s spot on, he is laughing, than the engine note changes along with his expression and he attacks that piece of road loke a legend. This guy is really really cool

[CarTraining]

Love it!

[peter9style]

Great Vid Mr. Chris ;) !!!! The impression on Francois face at 10:47 just shows all his ambition and feelings for racing and the car, great job!

[aliownzu]

amazing! keep videos like this coming Chris Harris!!!

[Scartissue84]

Delecour is like shut up let me drive LOL

[arshadali797]

What a great driver Delecour is! A superb vid, well done Evo.

Delecour's so infectious the way he speaks, a legend! Love it when he makes Harris nervous, lol, wish it was me sitting there. When he slides it and they both laugh like kids, special! Love it.

[skateralvi]

And this people don´t know that the Tarmac Rallye Challenge champion wins this award with a GT3 Cup

[casalvista]

BOA fantástico aqui prova se que o Porsche foi feito na e para a EUROPA longe das rectas amercinas com Corvettes

[tbursee]

My doctor friend has one similar to this. He let me drive i around the block ( with him in it of course)................ I wish I had gone to medical school.

[sonols27]

Only Delecour to say that a GT3 needs improvment. Fantastic Driver...

[tmitch965]

i just made a mess in my pants

[giriphotography]

this is one of the best car vids on utube, even more so because of the comments by Delecour

[Uv7x77]

amazing video

[r32dub88]

Great show! There's a reason why he doesn't show the road. What they were doing was highly illegal most likely. Such a perfect car though geez. I wish I could get a GT3, let alone an RS.

[Gilliatt83]

man great but show us the road, thanks :)

[seansverige]

Nice video but doesn't the Evo expenses account stretch to a forward facing lipstick camera? They're really quite cheap these days and there's even a convenient mount in the form of the rollcage...

[seansverige]

Nice video but doesn't the Evo expenses account stretch to a forward facing lipstick camera? They're really quite cheap these days and there's even a convenient mount in the form of the rollcage...

[phantomloita]

Best vid seen in a long time.

[braindead78]

Harris wont blink looool, i would give my left nut to be in his seat!!!

[MrJonnyJones]

Completely epic in every way haha!

[Mrakssey]

This is the kind of person to deserve to have GT3 RS, not some american japis and they act like: "Oh, look at me, I'm a racer, Vroooom, -crash-".

[twitchsix20five]

jealousy

[dlynch3]

This is amazing but I would have killed to see a front facing camera view.

[Aure9000]

@gemrally. He'll yea!

[28power68]

That's the difference betwen a really good driver (Harris) and a professional driver (Delecour)

[Gemrally]

Porsche PLEASE get into the tarmac WRC rounds.

[1Rockyboxer1]

only 2? i think i seen one somewhere

[wildwolfnsf]

One of the best tarmac driver ever.

[Shroomsterdam]

Omg, that engine sounds so good.

[daedruoY]

Francois you absolute legend. Fantastic car also I will defintely get one of these one day.

You've got to love rally drivers, they are always ready for some action :).
