WRC - Colin McRae - Scandinavian Flick & Handbrake Lessons

[wasabus2]

I've just loaded "Colin McRae's Helicopter Simulator" onto my PC, but it keeps crashing! IS THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL THING IVE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE

[wedley91]

My idol. All skill and no fear

[chan625]

He was such a nice guy :)

[collegegoer45]

Does anyone know what DVD/VHS this is from? Im trying to find it so I can buy it and takes notes when I start rallying...please help!

[paulbudgen]

@videoofmike That Top Gear trubute was for Richard Burns, not Colin unfortunately. +1 for your comments about Top Gear needing to show the love for Rally Drivers in S.I.A.R.P.C though! Cheers

[st4focus4mk4]

i live by mcraes rule which was '' if in doubt, go flat out'' he was or is still a true legend!!!!!!! fact

[ErlendYo91]

"the smoother you go the faster you go" ill keep that in mind when i get dirt 3 :D

[Petbool]

The smoothier you go, the faster you go !

[lawnmowerpower]

McRae > Block. No doubt!!

[jfg22557]

@lawnmowerpower if you ever would've listened to Block talk, you'd hear how he praises colin and always speaks about how he was his idol, so dont be so quick to judge. Your talking about a guy who just broke into the WRC versus a rally legend, and I believe Ken does have the potential to become a modern day Colin in a couple years. Similar aggressive styles. They are/were both extremely talented. Forever Sideways - R.I.P. C. McRae.

[DriftK13]

@lawnmowerpower I don't know why Block's so popular. I find Sebastian Loeb 1000x better than Block.

[ivojiggy]

in doubt, FLAT OUT!!!!

[ASirensSoliloquy]

That Tommy guy hopefully committed suicide after being called out by Colin McCrae.

[cliff19851985]

@ASirensSoliloquy

you're a dick. Makkinen was nearly as awesome as mcrae

[100pru]

the fastest rally driver to ever live,ask any team or person he worked with will tell you that,he was fearless&that was Colins' problem,being too fast/fearless he didnt know when to reign it in,therefore leavin us with some spectacular crashes to watch in disbelief,if he hadnt been as fearless as he was he would've set many more records,won many more rallies&been World Rally Champion a few more times aswell,my motorsport inspiration,RIP COLIN MCRAE,taken well before your time

[iamtheonlyhobo]

yes, its a scottish accent...makes sense considering he is scottish

[1337NoFear1337]

Collin McRae has scottish accent!?

[Aallos]

@1337NoFear1337

:) His name is McRae and you just didnt guess?

[codenamecordon]

@1337NoFear1337 well, he's from Scotland, it kinda makes sense, that he has a scottish accent:D

[tomikkkkk]

Why do you always need to depress the clutch when handbrake turning?

[claptonwannabe]

@tomikkkkk Because you'd stall the car. You lock up the back wheels, so if you didn't have the clutch depressed and the gear linkage was in place, the engine would stall.

[100pru]

@tomikkkkk it all depends how long you are going to keep the handbrake on,if you were doing a full handbrake turn then yes you would need to press in the clutch(so it wouldn't stall the engine) especially if you are doing it from a highish speed as you would want to go down the gears to select 1st gear to accelerate away,you wouldn't necessarily av to press clutch in if going at speed&just quickly using the handbrake to get the back end of the car out if you were wanting to drift/slide car

[Marsal100]

R.I.P Colin McRae =( you is the Best

[VortexProducer]

Haha! Following Tommi.

A true expert, professional and highly aware driver. These videos are wonderful to watch.

[WickedChips]

OHmy heaven!, i would have pissed my pants for sure, amazing that woman actualy could go on with the interview

[ASirensSoliloquy]

The fact that he's fucking teaching as he's driving on the course (probably faster than anyone else too) just proves that he was something else.

[RonBurgundy161]

This guy had balls of titanium.

[DriftK13]

R.I.P colin, a great driver he was.

[Transify]

Rest in peace master, rest in peace...

[jvidell]

Who is the woman with him?

[Jompemann]

hahaha from 1:00 this is how it is to follow Makinen in the Safari rally

[zeroflat24]

this guy sounded like william wallace and drove like god.

[99fordzx29]

Hahaha Awesome description.

-D

[frazerdavid]

RIP Colin. We'll miss you.

[gnashings]

So sad.  Now all my favourite rally drivers are dead...

[goldeye355]

Colin was a true competitor, almost always pushing the limits. None of this conservative strategy you see today.

[v1nnie0012]

Impressive how much skill he is still showing even while he is talking and explaining everything.

[gnashings]

@v1nnie0012 UNBELIEVABLE... Damn I miss this guy!

[junglebunglez]

R.I.P Colin McRae.

His driving style was ultimate, aggressive, no fear at all.

Absolute Legend.

[kneckebr0t]

"If in Doubt...flat out" :)

R.I.P

[hitithardstu]

RIP Colin..........A TRUE LEGEND!!!!!!

[v1doko]

R.I.P >>Colin McRae!! from GREECE !!

[1337Metalface]

i have a girl friend and all... but im totaly gay for his voice lmao. I would do terrible things to good people to have that accent

[mrfancypants9000]

R.I.P Colin Mcrae.shame that I missed his era.

[massdrewski]

You should have seen Pastrana at the Forrest rally.

McRae is just so natural.

[WoWAdvertisement]

i know same here :'(....who ever got to ride with him before he died are some lucky people best rally driver that lived im sure hes tearin it up in the after life

[gnashings]

@WoWAdvertisement He's my favourite too, but "best that ever lived"? Maybe - I would argue that Toivonen was right up there in terms of pure talent.

[ifwere1021]

Also, "This is what it's like to follow Tommi Makinen in the safari rally when he won't move over"

LMFAO

[ifwere1021]

Honestly.... props to that chick for not freaking out when he demonstrated the flick hehe. Most women's first reaction when the car is pointing left towards the edge of a cliff at 50mph , and the upcoming turn is a right, is to scream :P

[imsharkey]

That's because she is a Rally Champion as well ;-)

[SubaruB4RSK]

only thing is she started talking when he started.. but R.I.P Colin :(

[scaleop4]

one of the best.

[buttermilkpancakes00]

"guess it's just my lucky day" haha what a casanova. that's how you do it.

[willw1995]

Some class driving from Colin RIP dude

[RomanianUser]

scandinavian flick ftw Rip colin

[manarathfiretree]

I know I had to rewatch the video a couple times but for anybody else who had a hard time understanding the narration that starts at 0:30 it's -

"Here them bends are so tight you could never get the car around even on (sure luck)*, so you have to use the hand break which basically locks up the wheels of the car and the weight of the car will slow you round."

Just in case anybody else had a hard time with the accent =D otherwise 5/5 R.I.P Collin McRae...

[BobbaFett83]

FULL LOCK is what he says

[aro2323]

I think he said "and the rear of the car will slie around"

[aro2323]

I mean slide (typist error:)

[gww1]

He says even on "full lock"

[erik7191]

"when you use the handbrake, the car slows down" R.I.P Colin McRae

[Emielrwb]

R.I.P

[shavoba55]

McRae is like the aryton senna of the rally world. He can drive anything!

[Saabrx]

God I miss you as well Colin, May you Rest in peace brother..

[71j193]

1:00 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Great mister McRae!!! Rally misse you!

[poeta067]

I adore you colin, you will be always in my heart, your soul it's still alive.Peace!!

[JMS444444]

i think colin, in top gears "reasonably priced car" would have beat everyone. shame they never asked him, it really is. King Colin R.I.P

[Riff28Raff]

@JMS444444 its a shame top gear never even gave mcrae a fucking tribute never mind a shot in the reasonably priced car. they rightly gave richard burns a great tribute but none for rally icon colin mcrae???? it didnt make sense. i personaly think it was because he wasnt english.

i stopped watching top gear after that.

[KuostA]

@Riff28Raff your wish just got answered. hope u saw it.

[Riff28Raff]

@KuostA enlighten me bud?

[DriftK13]

@JMS444444 Top gear are cunts, they don't give credit to motorsports besides Formula 1.

[videoofmike]

@DriftK13 THey made a short tribute to collin mc rae, they talked about how clarkson's son beats collin in video game and collin was frustrated and just kept on asking his kid to go over and play each day after school. I see your point tho, although as it looks hammond and may aren't really big fans of f1. They really should bring some rally driver to star in a reasonably priced car, maybe rally and touring car guys gets their own board:P

[YouJelly21]

@JMS444444 Now #1 is Vettel... don't think a rally driver could have beaten a guy who pretty much lives in asfalt.

Not to say McRae wouldn't be #2 or #3 =)

[freedomsoldier187]

"this is what its like when you follow tommi makkinen on the safari rally and he wont move over"

haha !

[oarih94]

Colin Mcrae will never be forgotten.

R.I.P. Colin Mcrae

[bousias]

One of the top 10 of all time!!

R.I.P. Colin

[UberrSmellyG]

Skills!

[clebmedia]

[shinmo117]

i dont^^ subaru 4ever!

[Dobbac]

Descanse en Paz, definitivamente una legenda del rally!

[blindman369]

Truly a rally legend. For all who don't know he died in a helicopter accident. I would have rather had him die rally racing but oh well. Rest In Peace. Simply An Amazing Driver. Once Again Rest In Peace Bro.

[goffsam]

" Must be a lucky day" haha classic

[burtonboyfour20]

a true legend.....R.I.P.

[Muskett01]

Unbelieveable skill. That guy sure had some balls! R.I.P

[richrich27]

haha! tommi makein at the safari desert

[midlothianboy]

Britain lost grea great talent that nobody can fill its big hole,,,,,simply sad.

R.I.P.

[Svk82]

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!R.I.P. COLIN

[SephirothSCP1906]

RALLY LEGEND. Rest in peace

[DerZween]

:o check my new rallye-vid

[RatedRPaul]

Did you see the first flick!!??? On the edge of the cliff!

[rally4life11]

Colin left a hole that could never be filled. One of the greatest drivers in all of motorsport. We all miss you Colin. RIP

[BioPower9000]

R.I.P Colin

[Axetele]

1:00 Funny!

[kevlarcondom]

I drive a AWD Passat W8 wagon rally edition as my daily driver, and use the flick to take curved onramps at freeway speeds (not too easy in a 2 ton car) not to bad on tires though. Also the flick can be used to transition from high traction to low traction surfaces with a big speed decrease that would not be possible with the breaks alone.

Do not try this on public roads. I have a ticket for causing a crash after a cop hit a tree tying to keep up with me.

[yachtymadness]

Ha ha! Respect! And loads of respect the Colin the LEGEND himself.

[CaptainCalorie]

Sounds like you do more driving of your finger up your ass. Show us a video of your 2 ton nazi heap of shit!

[kevlarcondom]

a missed point. in AWD cars on tarmac the Scandinavian Flick is still the best way to get the car to over steer into a corner. here you are trying to break grip on the rear to boost power distribution to the inside line.

[CaptainCalorie]

NICE COMMENT!

This video is about colin, not you!

[WhiteAngloSaxonPerv]

The passenger is Penny Mallory, she is relaxed because she used to be a rally driver herself.

[redbird3693]

I need to morph a quote from Apollo 13.

" If a washing machine had weels, Colin could drift it!!"

[RedikCZE]

We never forget Colin

[YMBrant]

Good driver...he was a very good driver

[deanost24]

R.I.P

[GunBoTT]

he was the Best! R.I.P

[DEEAN125]

Great driver

R.I.P

[mdoc46]

serious pilot

[AutOtaku]

man such good skill behind the wheel

RIP Sir

[garyh2080]

R.I.P Colin

[Nemanjadm]

lik je car!

[bgninjah]

nego sta!

[MANIHCK]

When he pulls the scandinavian flick, i would have shitted my pants but, that girl handled the sight of the hill very well...

[sikknote666]

Lmao MANIHCK... 'that girl' is the first women in the world to ever qualify to drive a WRC car (and think she did some renault adverts) go Penny ;)

[PeachCatHill]

我操，专业就是牛B啊！

[kilthebatman]

legend

[eautocad]

great driving! good job

[LoveTapRacingTeam]

R.I.P. Colin

You will be missed.

[Therealanimale]

"You make it look soo easy":)

[Zmann42087]

Geez.. he was such a stud. RIP McRae.

[diegomacri]

abbiamo avuto il tempo di conoscerci e stimarci.Mi era piaciuto subito,quel ragazzo che non aveva paura di niente e di nessuno, che accumulave senza apparentemente batter ciglio un numero impressionante di incidenti (Miki Biasion)

[elliotbradley]

You see that first flick... ef'n sick.

[elliotbradley]

not the first one... the one on the cliff!

[elliotbradley]

1:31 :)

[Bristecom]

"This is what it's like when you follow Tommi Makinen." LMAO

[boon4376]

she wants to give him a Scandinavian flick

[Osideskater01]

the Scandinavian Flick is so hard in a gokart

[Alexiskexeropsomi]

The scandinacian flick is used in dirt tracks and I think it is impossible on cement surfaces.

[renzotec]

its actually used in drifting but mostly on tighter corners

[MarTin3Z420]

you just need to keep on the throttle and not brake until you reach the corner

[doubts]

Such a loss. What a talent!

[kirili]

"Ooops i'm gonna go over the mount'en" hahaha.thats so collin style.RIP man

[rainey06au]

"looks like we're gonna go over the bank" but still...

[S14VH45]

XD crackin on makenin

[therealcoolin]

i would like to race rally cars for a living...looks like so much fun.

[pebi86]

how can he change gear without kicking the clutch??

[laoishibee]

sequential gearbox...semi auto

[dahed118118]

i think theres some racing transmission that it doesnt need a clutch, it automatically brings it all in. but im not too sure

[pebi86]

But there is a third foot pedal.

He does not kick it while shifting.

BUT when he performes the "scandinavian flick" he kicks it to first gear.

Strange. I don't get it.

[dahed118118]

yeah its all fucked. lol

[numptybaws3]

Sequentially controlled  semi-automatic gearbox. Hes using the clutch because its a handbrake turn and its AWD so you need to clutch to avoid damage to the drivetrain. Hope that helps

[Bristecom]

The clutch is only needed when starting off or to prevent stalling. You normally don't use it altho with older transmissions, it was faster to use the clutch when shifting up. In this case, he's using it to keep the revs from dropping too quickly from locking the rear wheels and from the resistance of the road. If you kept the clutch in, it would be harder to turn and you would probably stall.

[106QSDAVE]

You know better than him.

[cplx2718]

its sequential gearbox you dont use clutch while shifting. just ease off from the throttle when shifting up and blib the the throttle when shifting down.

the clutch is for starts. dont know, why he uses for handbrake turn. the middle dif disconnects the rear wheels, preventing the front wheels blocking. in old 4wd rally cars the middle didnt do this. drivers cannot use handbrake. they used scandinavian flick, or just drove through the tight corner slowly.

[glenn1365]

he clutchs to build revs up for the exit

[slungbungdungclung]

Such a skilled man.

[gwadd85]

omg that video is a very good showcase of his skills. RIP

[alpanex21]

we re here for a good time...not a long time...he used to say...

Mr. Sideways you will be always here..

[paagal666]

WOW

[motorcrossmaster101]

rip best driver ever

[luanwrc]

pedal to the metal?

[mrbennnn]

That's an outstanding piece of driving, I'd kill to be that good...

Then again, I'd also kill to bring him and his son back, Rest In Peace.

[bking9367]

ya i no then his son too good become a good driver.

[FedericoRiveroFontes]

Un material unico . . .

[dirtyimprezadotcom]

the master at work. I never get tired of watching footage of Colin McRae

[silverbulletPT]

He is going so fast and he still manages to talk normaly. I guess that kind of speed is a walk in the park for him.

[epicvelocity]

In a normal WRC event if he takes the same course at ~200km/h, and now he's doing it at ~100km/h....big difference! 100km/h seems slow!

[gwadd85]

wtf??

[epicvelocity]

To him... not to normal people.

[papasoygrande]

que en paz descanses troesma

[indepth35]

Rest in Peace mate

[TechTurkey]

RIP

[djbencobb]

RIP

[steamod]

that co-driver "looks relaxed and handles the ride pretty well" because it's ex ladies national rally champion Penny Mallory.

[antics55]

colin mcrae is the man

[hprof1]

why wait when died?

why not make a tribute in live?

damn!!!

[mcnish]

it takes longer to talk about it lol! RIP McRae

[GiuliettaWRC]

sorry i'm italian

[GiuliettaWRC]

RIP colin, the best pilot ever

[jujinn]

He was a driver u stupid....

[mayah480]

But for example in French pilot = rally driver.

[Statale26]

Yeah, or Italian... hence Giulietta

But i gotta say he wasn't a great pilot. Best drivr ever, though.

[46lanciau]

if i dont hear him wrongly, he said that with modern rally car,..Scandinavian flick is not the fastest way to do,...the smoother entrance to the corner seems to be faster.

What a pity,...cause Scandinavian flicks are one of the most beautiful rally manouvre.

[dpkeys]

"This is what it's like when you're following Tommi Makinen on the Safari Rally and he won't move over"

[ToivonenDeltaS4]

great video, so glad they got him to do these. back when someone actually showed wrc! love the tommi comment from colin, lol. carisma and a freakish gift, sorely missed.

[nalodaniel]

RIP

[biggscoop]

What a guy.

What a shame.
