Colin McRae Basic Rally Techniques

[sparkingmoggy]

awesome, feet like a ballerina.

looks like he could eat a mars bar and drink a can of coke while driving like this, so relaxed it's unbelievable!

[PanRabbit7]

2 persons don't know, what is this rally

[Bartsk84eva]

His steering input is so aggressive but he's so quick! For me, best driver of all time. McRae- Senna in my opinion. Different disciplines I know but still.

[mably23]

Legend RIP

[HerbmanSmuggler]

It's called a wastegate not a blow off valve

[PliskinNH]

Man, this guy can instruct and rally drive? He's freaking awesome!

[onajrboy]

what's the point of a copilot if he can navigate w/o one?

[OxnardMontalvo666]

he is really in a hurry.. to driver her back to the kitchen.

[ZBHampton]

dump valve, bleed valve, blow off valve, they are all the same. used in the section of piping between the turbo and the throttle body to relieve pressure at a certain psi so to not damage anything from the pressure of the turbine.R.I.P. McRae... greatest rally driver ever.

[robbiewhelan]

Does this focus have an anti-lag system?

[hereisthankappan]

What steering method is CR using ?

[emp29]

Easy!.... Not!

[SecularTechnology]

Great vid

[filipe30]

I have to watch the parts where he tells you exaclty what he does, like the hairpin for example, about 5 or 6 times to take it all in, because he does it so bloody quickly and smoothly.

[metaomicron72]

What is that lever on the gear lever? is like a bike, what is it for?

[angeloh1990]

how did he die if i may ask? he must have have died young.

[2129261184]

@angeloh1990 Helicopter crash

[MrCoyletech]

''today is just a lcukly day'' what a legend

[Playster3]

It's always so sad to see him still alive and well and then be reminded that he's no longer with us. I truly miss him so much. For me he was the best and my favourite rally driver of all-time. Miss you Colin! He's now racing on the roads of heaven. R.I.P

[dgouveia99]

Nice to see :)

[palmer2341]

its the anti-lag and an external waste gate, dump valves and blow off valves are only used on boy racer cars! the anti-lag is when you retard the engine leaving the exhaust valves open allowing fuel to pass through and to be ignited to keep the turbo boost! this system is only used aggressively in rallying. the reason you can change gear with out the clutch is there is an sequential gearbox that does not use synchro's they use dog's which means you dont have to use the clutch

[kamikazeespleen]

R.I.P one of the most legendary rally drivers!

[jbrun009]

I know he's really driving, but the surroundings look like the green screen from Airplane!, except without horses

[MrAndeye]

Where is this FROM?

[grabur]

best rally driver ever!

[1300l]

Collin is and will aways be the best!

[Dorolla96]

RIP collin :(

[jorgeyesid10]

kmomo puede dontrolar el auto a esa volidad con esas condiciones y hablando jaa

[jillybooty]

he doesn't clutch while shifting. I guess rally cars can just handle that?

[PrivateRyan798]

Amazing, how he can drive and signal with his hands demonstrating oversteer etc and still shatter times that people today could post up.

[HerrSchnellmann]

Not even trying, McRae is faster than most rally drivers.

[Wast3m]

from 2:22- 2:26 whats that sound? i never hear that in normal cars.

[PawelPilarczyk]

@Wast3m This is probably the sound of a turbocharger.

[Wast3m]

@PawelPilarczyk oh. damn now i want a car with straight cuts and a turbo like that with all the engine bay noise dampeners removed!!

[Katlunazul]

@PawelPilarczyk Blow off valve.

[stea1thviper]

@PawelPilarczyk no that is the sound of straight cut gears in the tranny

[dsmdeegen]

@PawelPilarczyk Thats the blow off valve. Not the turbo. Its excess air being released so back pressure doesnt damage the turbo.

[digital4282]

@PawelPilarczyk It's either that or it's the backfiring/rev limiter?

[shinobi1203]

@PawelPilarczyk it is the blow off valve where the extra pressure from the turbo build up is released when changing gears

[2129261184]

@PawelPilarczyk The sound is caused by compressed air flowing in the wrong direction inside the turbo causing blade stall.

[tyxodioktis100]

@PawelPilarczyk no its not the turbo... the wistle it is the sound of the differentials...

[akito0030]

@PawelPilarczyk This sound is from transmission, straight cut gear makes this kind of sound.

[moham7ad]

@Wast3m in the name of Colin McRae i dub thee a noob

[fabalee15]

@Wast3m Turbo and transmission (differencial lock).

[WeakSignaI]

@Wast3m theres a nest of birds under the hood keeping warm.

[ssreviews]

@Wast3m That's a Blow off valve.

[mt1104]

@Wast3m anti-lag system, involves igniting fuel in the exhaust off throttle to spool up the turbo ready for when the driver applies the throttle - instant power

[Katlunazul]

@Wast3m Its the blow off valve.

[batardsalamano]

@Wast3m

turbo Blow Off Valve (BOV)

[V8FC3SJ]

@Wast3m Atmospheric blow of valve with anti-lag. look it up.

[TheFefeToo]

@Wast3m It's turbowhistle. You can hear it when he takes his foot of the accelaration pedal.

[lewisisaspaz]

@Wast3m anti-lag?

[My6G72T]

@Wast3m It's the sound of straight-cut gears in the transmission.

[mrtitsmigee]

@Wast3m it cause you probably never pushed it that hard

[alibiuks]

@Wast3m It's Blow Out Valve - releases air pressure from the turbo system, to not to blow the turbo, because if pressure is high and you won't release it the turbo can spin backwards and cause it's destruction

[HazzerJ]

@Wast3m Can't tell you what it is I'm afraid, sounds like something external picked up by the microphone as it is clearly an old recording system being used. But then again, I could be wrong. It is not, however, the turbocharger. The only noises commonly assosiated with that are the whine of additional air being sucked in and subsequently spinning the internal turbine, or a hiss as excessive pressure is dumped at the point of gear changing (made commercially famous in the Fast and Furious).

[4x4Oldschool]

@Wast3m Dump valve from the turbocharger. When you quickly let off the throttle, after heavy throttle, the throttle body (butterfly valve) closes against full boost. This happens because the inertia in the turbines keeps them spinning, producing boost, but when you don't need it. If you don't get rid of it, (with a dump valve), this can cause damage to the throttle body, turbocharger, and engine, going back into throttle with a lean mixture causing detonation.

[landamqabba]

@Wast3m it s the dumpvale it dumps excess boost or something like that.... anyway it s something that is used with a turbo

[demonicwolf69]

@Wast3m possible blow off valve or as said some sort of turbo system

[tnpxtrayn]

@Wast3m It is an external wastegate heard through a screamer pipe :) p.s would love a go in one of those focus' :(

[blinksonicava]

@Wast3m thats the bov (blow off valve) which releases the boost from the turbo allowing it to spool up to full boost instead of waiting for the rpms to drop. it will activate every time you let off the gas

[darrelbmad]

@Wast3m it's the dump valve from the turbo if you're talking about the chipping noise

[KoMDraegast]

@Wast3m

the sound of the WRC spec blow off valve from the turbo

[peevee01]

@Wast3m its chatter. the unused boost returning back thru the blades of the turbo,

when he shuts the throttle.. but cos they run restrictors and massive boost, it sounds funny.

[fitimio001]

@Wast3m Straight Cut gears.

[stuie24977]

@Wast3m its the waste gate from the turbo when he is feathering the throttle to control the cars grip through the corner. i just love how colin is driving at 60-80mph off road having a calm chat whilst driving . brilliant...

[spketola]

@Wast3m That is the sound of the wastegate air intake between engine and turbocharger. Too much pressure from turbocharger is wasted not to break the engine.

[TheEljay]

@Wast3m The whistle when he changes gear is due to a Dump Valve, when the pressure from the turbocharger is released.

[MrThejoker84]

@Wast3m its the turbo blowoff vaulf 

[sundance260]

@Wast3m every time he shifts it lets out his high psi blow off valve. all aftermarket blow offs sound different

[lpunklie]

@Wast3m That's turbo anti-lag system at work

[MrLuksicman]

@Wast3m yeah the "chirping noise was either the bov letting off the unused built up pressure in the engine as he was fluttering the throttle, or it's him hitting the rev limiter in whatever gear he was in which case the bov is letting off pressure as well in the engine, because it's reached it's maximum limit and has to let it out, rev limiters are a must in turbo charged cars and there's a certain part you can buy to make it chirp like that..i forget the name though

[trombe1990]

@Wast3m Are you not sick of receiving answers to a question you asked over a year ago?

[argh1989]

@Wast3m PawelPilarczyk is right, it's got to do with the turbocharger. If the air is compressed by the charger and suddenly the driver chooses to close the throttle (get off the gas pedal) the pressure in front of the throttle becomes very high and would slow down the turbo charger (spinning) or even damage it. Thus they installed a blow off valve (BOV) to release the pressure when not needed.

[Oleander410]

@Wast3m

That was a bird chirping ;-)

[adrianisill]

@Wast3m Pawel is correct. Specifically, that's the BOV, or "blowoff valve," which is part of the turbochargher. It prevents compressor surge.

[LeninsBoyToy44]

he was a glorious man. god amongst mortals

[meero14]

2 people like think Ken Block is great. What you see here is exhibition and actual, factual skills of a REAL rally driver, in the person of the Late, Great, Colin McRae. one of the best in the sport. others are Carlos Sainz, Tommi Makinen and Richard Burns. the REAL RALLY CAR DRIVERS. thank you for posting the vid.

[Imamonkee108]

2 people dont realize who colin mcrae is.

[kvkTR]

you're sorely missed colin. thank you for all the thrilling rides.

[1992domino]

Wręcz wybornie by było gdyby ktoś wstawił polskie napisy.

[PawelPilarczyk]

@1992domino Mógłbym to przetłumaczyć, ale to dużo roboty, bo filmik jest długi, a po za tym nie umiem wstawiać napisów.

[1992domino]

@PawelPilarczyk To niedobrze, ale gdyby komuś się chciało to by było fajnie

[Z2theONA]

Was he shifting with no clutch at the end?

[PawelPilarczyk]

@Z2theONA Yes, because it is sequential gearbox.

[icecoldbrew92]

6:57 thats a lot of budz!

[miksulder]

helicopter crashed and burned colin and his son with it

[geniemist]

wanna hear it from Loeb in HD -.-

[kishg]

amazing.. poetry in motion..

[mexopefo]

czy ja dobrze zrozumialem? w odpowiednim momencie trzeba lekko walnac lewa noga w hamulec zeby przejsc z podsterownosci w nad?

[PawelPilarczyk]

@mexopefo Na początku filmiku Colin mówi, że uniknąć pod-sterowności można podcinając auto ręcznym, chyba że później w filmiku jest jeszcze coś o tym. Hamowanie w pod-sterowności na ogół tylko ją powiększy, bo większa część siły hamowania skierowana jest na koła przednie. Pzdr.

[Splotteam]

@PawelPilarczyk trzeba to umiejetnie zrobic,jak sie lekko musnie hamulec to srodek ciezkosci przesuwa sie chwile na przednie kola,ktore chetniej skreca,tyl sie podniesie i zarzuci, i leci sie lekkim bokiem juz samym gazem :) w technice sportowej jazdy najwazniejsze jest optymalny tor i zrozumienie srodka ciezkosci i operowanie tym :)

[PawelPilarczyk]

@Splotteam Zgadza się :) 

[rallybot]

He was so cool:( He is even making hand gestures during interview like taking place at studio. What a terrible lost. We will always remember.

[kamikaz1k]

the view is surreal, it looked like he was in a simulator or something....

[cartmanstyles]

i love this car in RC 2

[1234nan4]

what is that type of gearbox called? and why does the car need a clutch pedal on that type of gearbox?

[PawelPilarczyk]

It is a sequentional gearbox, clutch is necessary to launch the car, and when you pull the handbrake. When you change gears (up or down) you need only to let off the throtle. Sorry for my bad english...

[1234nan4]

@PawelPilarczyk , thanks for the quick reply. are you not english??

[PawelPilarczyk]

I am Polish.

[1234nan4]

@PawelPilarczyk , your english is perfect.

[PawelPilarczyk]

Thanks:)

[cha0scl0ud]

RIP McRae!!!!

[Hasseta]

would be great to watch a vid "Colin McRae vs. Walter Rohrl" ..

my favourite drivers !

[Tys0nFawlay]

would also be great to watch a vid orange vs apple

[danthemanpatrick]

What an epic accent. Not to mention his ability behind the wheel.

[krankomat]

..."understeering is a crime" ...you are so right !!!

[callypee]

was he even using the clutch??

RIP Colin

[BriMcIntyre]

I think they only need it to set off

[toetagjeee]

yup this used to be automatic gearbox

[scottishconnor14]

@callypee you dont need to use the clutch with a sequential gearbox you only have to lift youre foot off of the accelarator

[Zakiller1]

HOOOLLLLYY *****... wow... I could never drive like that.... and he is even having a conversation with that lady all at the same time lol... i would be like shut the F up im trying to concentrate! I wonder where i can learn to drive like that *droools*

[nahuelgol]

Can someone it turn to the Spanish? This video this one very good .. sorry for my English..

alguien lo podira subtitular al español?

[motorsports0777]

he could only do this hands down the best driver

[Gauntletbloggs]

Theres no denying the fact that hes an absolutely brilliant driver but definitely not the only one that can do this haha

[bmxpunk2]

anyone know what video that is from?

[mighty589]

great vid, collin was a great driver.

[APersson78]

its like hes having a picnic or something, just flying through the woods as nothing..

[Predator1c]

God of driving COLIN FOREVER

Good video
