Colin McRae - Legacy RS Tour de Corse 1993

[ItsTheRS]

Damn. If this isnt inspiration to subaru drivers, i dont know what is. Found it while look at the fastfours website. How i wish this was mine ! but then, your cars only as good as you can drive.

Colin McRae is without doubt one of the greatest drivers of our time, and the video below is a sample of his brilliance. It also highlights just how awesome Subaru rally cars are, with no music or commentary to spoil the sound of the RS. This was filmed at the Tour de Corse, Rallye de France in 1993.

And thats with technology *18 years ago.

Awesome video

My favourite part is the drift at the very end

I AM DISAPPOINT, SONS, as to how long it's taken to have this posted on CS somewhere. We've had it in the porn thread on DOBC for ages, and of course it made its way into the Flash AS3 exam I sat last month. McRae's handling of those magnificent but difficult beasts should surely be an inspiration to every Subaru driver. This is your roots, people

Argh, i did use the search. trust me !

Anyone know what suspension/strut bars/stabilizers was used in his legacy ? looks so tight going around corners. Also what tyres was he running ?

[Joker]

lol not blaming you

I searched for "2jiBF2mGxdw" which is the youtube unique code for it

[Shale]

An example in using search, filling in the subject and message content fields out PROPERLY, and generally looking harder?

The old one got deleted, the latest upload is a freshie.

Very very different to a typical RS. The rear end in the Group A car was quite different in setup. And of course proper plate diffs all the way round which means the car is much easier to hold sideways as its predicatable.

cracks me up all the people standing round only just making it outta the way when he passes wonder how many people got taken out back in the old days

amjayes has awesome vids, I've been following them on youtube for a while

Here's another gem

[Shale]

This badboy also:

Have happily just sat and listened to it in the background instead of music, but have to keep flicking back to watch that mental driving. ;D It's a bit shorter and follows just one dude IIRC, but also glory.

Plus lots of glorious stuff that involves some very skilled fabricators and tig welders.

WRCSpares.com will sell you some similar parts (although a little bit newer than the old BC5 stuff but still along similar line of thought).

[ben-jamminn]

Did the prodrive cars have equal length headers?

That one doesn't sound like it! Some later Imprezas do but not sure when they started using them.

This car got me into subarus, i went out to the motu in 93' with my dad, colin in full flight, the sound of it, he then went on to win, i was a RS fan since that day. Group A is still the coolest catagory in rallying, im sorry but these cars are much more exciting to watch than the WRC cars.

And no under the group A regs you had to use a stock exhaust manifold, hence the change in sound once WRC regs came in in 97'
