[badboygto]

[1337ASM]

He's Finnish.. Why aren't i surprised?

[gummiankaa]

Finnish drivers are the best, I have to admit. Even as a Swede.

[qettyz]

This is by far the most greates rally incar ever, in my opinion =) Thanks!

[soffosbackan]

Incredible !!! One of the best drivers ever. Could handle and take victorys both with 2Wd and later with 4wd "monstercars"

[Aalountulai]

Is it just me or don't you think "Maybe" is perhaps not the best word to use to instruct the driver at the speed of 120mph..?

[sbenitor]

He has petrol in his veins!

[mtv218]

"We have a bit of a puncture" 1:53

[djbanizza]

Navigator: Oh, Dear God!

Ari Vatanen: Yes?

[fer200015]

and some people likes ken blocks.. jaja

[munky40903805]

how does he use the pedals with such giant balls in the way???

[matheusclpc]

11 F1 FANS... :)

ARI "BALLS OF STELL" VATANEN!

[RuptureFarmsAbe]

his car is his body!

[RuFfLeSs]

This video was clearly stolen from heaven rally highlights

[2mnyshp]

[Cvettoooo]

[TheSqeeek]

Oh my gosh, that would make me crap my pants so fast...

[cristiansenmillus]

Genius!

[Stewart911rs]

I was at that rally, saw that in-car in the palace lido the same evening. Terry Harryman - "Dear God!"in the middle of the pace notes!

[blue2438]

i drive faster in my peugeot 106 60 hp 280000km loool

[Franzko787]

A computer could not do that. Incredible. There are stone walls/hedgerows all along that course and one mistake and your are porbably dead. Amazing.

[mohitmax3133]

big Respect for his Skills !!!! damn....

[mohitmax3133]

[ShoVip1]

[Gwenalltapowain]

Crazy!!!!!! What a driver!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!

[FancyUnicorn]

1:38

"Oh dear god!"

[otacon451]

wow that notation is horrifying, how could you put your life on terms like 'twisty,' 'easy', etc?

[thenicedudejay]

Mad driving skills at 1:42!! The co - driver stops all the

....maybe...talk right after that save by Ari. I guess he

got more serious in his road directions after that one ,lool

Only driver that can match Ari's driving in this clip ,have

to be the late flying mad scot Colin Mcrae.

I second that ....OHH DEAR GOD.... the co - driver moaning :-D

[ukailo]

its like he is driving trough a pipe

[jokkepoika85]

That is car handling. Proud to be fin

[TheGrandeMartini]

This is AWESOME!

[dinamitador]

one of the best videos I've ever seen!!

[SgtSprinklepie]

what does he say at 1:51

[sonnyjimslim]

Check out simon mckinley hillclimb

[theanswerpaok]

this is really f***in insane... great car, too!

[cox87]

why he says "maybe" :-D

If he´s too fast, then hey will die !!!

[wowgatsi]

@cox87 he saids easy left "maybe" jump

[thormi24]

manta manta

[zefvor]

"Keep talking!" :D

[BigGingerOaf]

wow thatsa great vid .. cant stop rewinding the "oh dear God" bit. If you listen real close Avi Vatanen says something after that, cant make out what he says ? Also the the Co-driver left hand reaches for the emergency 'get me out of here' button. Real shame about the bloody music, why not just the engine sound ? oh well cant have it all i guess

[fcoalvaradov]

amazing driving

[Khony]

i think this literally describes a "flying finn"

[romeuchumbo]

i got chills just of watch this insane [no words for it!]

[fotispalaimon]

11 negatives??some people cannot recognize real drivers

[jpwpara]

maybe doesn't sound reassuring when you are driving that quick on a very narrow road :)

[Mahartinba]

shit / accidentally hit dislike shaking just watching it.

Ari top man / top driver

[MOODYSCOOBY]

i was shittin myself bhind my laptop

[UFFE140]

[dany080]

[p911c32]

1:40 ... dear god ... absolutely crazy ...

[karlbmx]

MAYBE 100 :)

[robertfoeli]

i would be sukn my own dick if this footage was clearer

[gmax341]

I would be freaken scared if i was the passenger.

[derek343]

Unreal.

[kukkimaster]

MAD skillz at 1:40

[VideoDotGoogleDotCom]

10 viewers were scared shitless.

[boryswtp]

[Austcoop]

@boryswtp

Not Ford Sierra, Opel Manta 400

[whiskymarko]

holly shit hes fuckin crazy....

but a genie

[FiTekno]

@thorgorans He says at 1:43 "Portti, vittu" which is in english: "Gate, fuck"

[thorgorans]

@FiTekno Yes, it sounds like that, thanks :)

[polkadotpuss]

this is sick. 5 stars

[combatking20]

Two words come to mind when i view the full vid: talented madman. My god he was flying. And how he didn't wreck before the "dear god" i'll never know.

[10501090]

insane !!!! great skills !!!

[filipzanetic]

where he keeps his boals

[deere38]

Excellent driving, I'm sure colin mcrae admired ari's style and drove in a similar way albeit slightly more flamboyant .

[predatortheme]

how he heck is it possible to drive so fast without crashing :O

[predatortheme]

@thorgorans

he probaly said (Dont worry)

[jc1621]

全人手、無ABS、無TCS、超超超高難度！！！

[hkj73]

@jc1621 exactly what you said.

[YUTEBI]

Joder...

[tronxo206]

1:40 ---> uuaaaaaa !!

[suntzu75]

watch the service in the village.....as Ari gives a s...

[predatortheme]

@suntzu75

Actually yes, he gives a S..... the driver made up the pacenotes with the codriver, and he actually said( to note the service in the village text down)

:D

[predatortheme]

hes a rallying god.... would he be quicker then colin mcrae?

i guess he would :D

i wonder how he drives to mcdonalds? xD

[eradeziel]

Great driving, especially holding onto such a tail happy beast after clipping the wall!

[bodieofci5]

Shit the fuckin bed! Ari is a legend!!

[MrHimuraChan]

My god! 1:30 Amazing engine sound! Manual-shift, rear-wheel drive, roaring flat-out through wet narrow roads. THIS is rallying! And that's why i think today's WRC is (not bad) but a little boring if compared with the 1980's

[bmxmattylemoth]

absolute balls out,what a driver....

i've been down that road a few times,not at that speed of course. but even doin 60 down there is a bit hairy!!

brave brave men.. quality

[hakosuka2]

1:17 - 1:43 ...Balls to the wall

[thebakos22]

That's what i call flat out driving!!!

[cihanyendi]

respect

[IPunchfish]

My hero.

[ZedarKiller]

omg...fucking scary....

[garthrallysport]

ARI IS THE GOD OF CAR CONTROL!

[ElgiNDuffeR]

1min 40sec.... Balls man

[fueldragster]

Ari grabs gears like a beast

[dazgregs]

Just amazing - the best drivers in the world have all been rally drivers in my opinion. Forget F1 - these boys are have got it going on.

[fenrir0870]

1:35 O_O awesome, fucking awesome O_O

[AimoPamaus]

Vatanen makes one vrong turn in left. just before that gate... :D

[vasaras31987]

he is awesome.....

[DINNOMAFIA]

he makes it look effortless, what a legend!!

[augustusx3]

i think he insult for the "easy left"

[augustusx3]

easy right, 50,easy left... insane!!!!!

[domdom111111]

WOW! Great team work!

[Canato1989]

how can it be possible?

[SPYDOC1]

I'd have said more than " Dear God" classic footage, respect.

[Volvo745T]

@SPYDOC1:

Word. Drifting sideways through a steel cattle gate (I think) at that speed. O_O Balls of steel, each one the size of grapefruits.

[efaman]

@SPYDOC1

I'd have soiled myself...

[SuperVortep]

Na,ehhez TÖK kell.Még hozzá kettő.A Rally a legkeményebb,nem az F-1.

[Khony]

another fying finn!

[miksirikoitsen]

If someone cant understand after watching this video, why we Finns are so fast, must be retarded.

[palukas80]

absolutely speed..............

[mistrija007]

1:39 the best momen..OOO DEAR GOD!!!hahaha this men is a god!

[garbage106]

its just when you think you can pretty quick when you watch this and think gees i cant

[Baldy881]

Please excuse me if i don't offer myself up for a spin in the passenger seat of Ari Vatanen... this vid is just ridiculously awe inspiring!!!!!!

[suomenpresidentti]

God I miss my Opel Manta! Such a joyus car to do over 160km/h on narrow forest roads here in finland! Roads not more wider than the car... Had 2.2 engine with 40mm webers, highrise cam, 2,5' freeflow exhaust and bilstein shocks on the corners...

[turnipheed]

@suomenpresidentti

should it not be a 2.3 if it was a hsr any way

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

I wanna be a rally driver

[Nanorisk]

totally speechless

I love that "DEAR GOD", any sane man will say that under that circumstance.

[MrTfabio]

from 1:35 to 1:42. what a self control! unhuman!

[cliklab]

Ari pushing that Opel beyond the limits of imaginable performance! Terry gasping "Dear God" at 1:42 is golden.

Cheers for this post. Best in-car, balls-out driving video on youtube.

[BigGingerOaf]

@cliklab wow thatsa great vid .. cant stop rewinding the "oh dear God" bit. If you listen real close Avi Vatanen says something after that, cant make out what he says ? Also the the Co-driver left hand reaches for the emergency 'get me out of here' button. Real shame about the bloody music, why not just the engine sound ? oh well cant have it all i guess

[owiec8]

Nie pamiętam, żeby w aucie zamontowali mi kamere:)

[mattm5233]

The way he goes through the cattlegrid is something else......but the commitment all the way up to that point is just as awesome, its all flat lefts and easy rights.......Vatanen and Mcrae to of the best because of their balls out commitment.

[karmaofspirit691971]

This man is a rally god!! This is my all time favourite incar ever. He is a freak.

[Jon124]

Anyone know where I can purchase a dvd that includes this run, or a higher quality copy of this? This is my absolute favorite incar of all time, any help would be greatly appreciated!

[baalshin]

its called "A ticket to fly", google it.

[efaman]

I would have seriously shit my pants at 1:39...

Ari should have been the FIA president...

[Max22imum]

holy god, this man can not be human =)

[Tj930]

"DEAR GOD!" ;0)

Shame the FIA elected "more of the same" :0(

[metalebd]

that is shit yourself quick

[heybaes]

He clipped the wall , which caused the puncture . The commentary "we have a bit of a puncture," was for the viewers .

[noxvet]

What did he mean by, "we have a bit of a puncture," at 1:53? I guess he thought the tire was flat...oh well, keep on driving >:D

[63ppaolo]

VATANEN THE BEST !!!

[kraikonen100]

que puto fenomeno

[migass]

"ouhhhh....dear GOD" ,oh really?! =D awesome!

[Felix1949TT]

This is SUPER driving.

ARI for president, yes.

[McLarenMercedes]

Hell yes.

Ari for president.

The last thing we need is somebody like Jean Todt which probably will let Ferrari get away with any shit.

[rafarallys]

que impresionante! pero estaria mucho mejor sin musica el video, asi disfrutamos del sonido del motor, igualmente un maestro ari!

[McRotor]

Pero que cojones tiene el tio, el copiloto rezando cuando pasan cruzao por la puerta, con este tio ibamos volver a disfrutar del automovilismo...

go Home Max & Jean...

Air for President!

[xcorrecachetescorrex]

aguante el ari ! aca con los pibe lo miramo mientra tomamo una birra en la esquina ,

estamo preparando un sientoveintiocho pal rally estamo. aguante loco!!

[ms1975]

Amazing drive... and it's very cool at 1:38 when the co-driver does not believe they are still on the road!!!! :-P

[suntzu75]

almost unbelievable...

[JasonRadley]

Didn't hit one set of traffic lights neither.

[jclwhite]

If my co driver kept saying maybe, id say WHAT THE **** DO YOU MEAN, MAYBE??!?

[kghp2006]

Holy shitballs dipped in fire!!!

[jimmymallet838]

1:35 dear god!

[ekroyalty]

"O dear God ... "

[2POWERFUL]

Put it this way:

Driver w/o navigator = You're screwed.

Note that navigators are really useful in rallying, esp. that you don't do godly memorizing of the routes.

[piesanmash]

Truly amazing driving! Fair play to the co driver "we got a puncture" he just wanted it to end lol!.

[freedomsoldier187]

Ari for FiA President !

[UnclePutte]

Still bitter over catching Terry co-piloting the missus, Vince?

[ArmAFan]

This is intense! Going at high speeds through narrow roads, one mistake and you might even die....

[geetphuck]

huh? I'm not your mom

[geetphuck]

LOLOLOLOLOL you're dumb

[hugospectrum4v]

this is fucking scary man....real rally drivers on old cars ,,,god dam...

[en5ca]

Btw, the car has 2.4 litre 4 cylinder engine block delivering 350-400 hp with no turbo. 167 hp/litre.

The 2009 Ferrari F430 has 113 hp/litre.

[satanclaw]

The stock 2.4 16v CIH non turbo 400 engine gave 233 bhp. The tuned versions was normally 350 bhp... Naturally aspired... Search for "My 1973 Opel GT" in google, and you'll find my white 1973 Opel GT Racing, with a 2 litre throttle bodied engine +++ I know what it takes to get real suck power...

[mrchestwell]

I bet you do!

[chromious]

lol

[murraylucy]

Have you tried to "co-pilot" or drive a rally car. it is not as easy as it looks.obviously you dont know what you are talking about when it comes to rally

[Str8representing]

more like easy long left plus in rally language

[barilu]

ballz of steel!!! what an iconic driver,he droved all the 80's monster rally cars!!!

[KrisWales3]

1:37 "ohhh.... Dear god"... Brillian

To be fair to Terry Harryman, it was his first year as co- Driver to Vatanen.

[aphh3]

Hear the engine? That's something you won't hear in today's rallies. Basically the only rule back then was that there were no rules.

That Manta is running on something else than just pump gas. It's roaring like the beast it is.

[ruuhimaki]

Wow 1:39-1:40

[crv26]

ROFL...i would have shat myself...

[Emg83X]

He (Vatanen) neighter said "continue" just for fun nor he was upset, he knew exactly if the codriver forgets its role and responsibility just for a few seconds they both can end up in the dich at the next corner. Amazing calmness after he performed a godlike carstunt.

[joopasenjoo2]

What is Ari yelling after "oh dear God"?

"Continue!" ?

[Vitunhole]

Vatanen says: read the fucking notes.

[crv26]

i couldn't here but were those his exact words...if they were...ROFL

[geetphuck]

that's what I heard lol

[nallepallerson]

to me it sounds more like "keep on reading"

[EJ25RUN]

Who is the commentator?

[enzoc2]

nono es un animal el tipo este manejando

[locoverna]

que piloto!

[italy430]

1:40 hahah!!! "dear god!"
