Rally tribute

Posted by Jamie Hibbard at 11:07 am on Wednesday July 15, 2009

Do yourself a favour, and find five minutes in your day to sit down and watch this tribute to rallying that some guy on YouTube has cut together. It’s really rather good:

There’s some great footage in there, which has all been edited together in a very pro way.

You can also check out the other videos this guy has done, simply by clicking this blue writing.

    WOW!!!

    Didnt realise saloon cars racing through the countryside was quite as theatrical as that. Passion, drama, expectation, failure and success all in 5 minutes.

    Great piece :)

    Aye not too bad at all , the individual clips could have been a wee bit longer (makes it a little choppy)
    Also there are a LOT of shot of guys heads …

    Having said that ..the guys has talent and i watched the vid all the way thru

    Nice work

    There is a real world out beyond the Eco buses, recycled rubber tyre bikes, M ‘bloody’ BT shoes and radar evading windmills. Get out and inhale the petrol fumes, wipe the grit from your eyes and LIVE………..

    Very professional and poignant, not your usual shaky youtube job but I would have loved to have heard the engine noises. And Jamie are you colour blind, or did you not realise the blue writing turns out red on the blog!

    Proof that Hans Zimmer’s soundtracks can add awesomeness to anything.

    Wow! That was the best tribute i’ve ever seen on Youtube! I’ve seen some seriously shocking tributes on ‘tube but this is incredible! This guy is good, really good!

    @Stig’s Irish Cousin: I couldn’t agree more. I’ve seen plenty of shocking tributes on ‘tube but this was something else. It’s so professional and sophisticated yet is quite dramatic. Basically it’s an exquisite video.

    @Stig Irish Cousin: Normally I would immeaditly agree with the engine noise with you… but for some bizar reason I prefer this video as it is…

    The music fits so well with the mood of the video that I don’t want to hear the engines… it just feels wrong in a video like this…

    Amazing job from that guy, you trully feel that he’s a real car enthousiast :)

    Great!… Just a tiny complaint: in 5:23 not even a shot of my beloved Lancia Fulvia HF (Though there is one shot of Munari Mannucci at Montecarlo72)… Anyway thanks for all those Lancias (and Subarus,Renaults, Peugeots, Skodas etc…) and all that great rally action.

    Wow, truly amazing. Not your usual Windows Movie Maker throw-together. This guy must have put a lot of effort into this. Well done to him!

    But it made me think of what a great sport rallying really is, and how over recent years ‘recession’ has pretty much sent it down the pot. Rallying was pretty awesome not too long ago. Along with the BTCC, rallying has got to be the most amazing sport in the world. Forget football, it’s a bunch of pansies falling over, and go watch some Peugeot 205 turbo’s knocking it around the countryside

    that was absolutlely brilliant, it looked like a proffesional had done it. it really captured all the reasons why rallying is so great. it needs to get back to the level of competitiveness it had 10 years ago, the cars are dull compared to older ones. and the rallies these days are too short, i remember when the rally GB was literally all around the country not just in one corner.

    Superb match of video to music – not just synch but mood as well.
    How many hours (DAYS?!) did this take?! Just fabulous.

    this is truly fantastic!
    i seldom have goosebumps but this did the trick.

    It’s a huge efford to cut the clips to fit the beats of the music and he did this extremely well.

    hats off to this guy

    As has been said, this is well beyond 99% of the other compilations that are on You Tube – such a great mix of cars, drivers and events…

    …long live rally!

    Brilliant video, you can see the time and effort being put into it. BTW Q1. what do you think that guy was thinking at 1:33 when that cow came out of nowhere. O2. what is harder being and F1 driver or a rally driver (tough question when you think about it).

    Stunning. Really, really well put together.

    Next time someone asks me why I like rally, I think I’ll just show them this :)

    bloody brilliant. i think that touring cars and rallying are as pure today as they were when they first started. F1 is still brilliantly exciting (sometimes) but the cars rely on technology too much to win. In ralying and touring cars its focussed on the driver and making the car suit the driver. These 2 motorsports are the best motorsports to date.

    I miss the old days of rallying like mcrae and burns battle in 2001 and tommi makkinen and saniz!

    shame no other manufactuers take part cos it would make the sport better as there would b more cars and more drivers (hell there may even be a british driver in there!)

    i knw u die hard rally fans will matthew wilson but has he won a rally yet?…no

    Real men doing real driving
    in my opinion rallying is so much better than F1 although I enjoy all forms of motorsport

    To Me Said “the guy at the end” is the great Henri Toivonen try googling his name to see how awsome he was
