Thanks computer technology for doing what you do. I think it's pretty normal for people to not thank objects
rodney carmichael
it appears the camera or maybe the lense is mounted on some tricky suspension that stabilises the picture like a gyroscopic setup or something

Watched rally for years in the 90’s and 2000’s. First time watching an entire leg in the car with narration. Amazing how calm you both seem. Funny how a few times notes say “4+” but you were 5+. Hands down rally guys are the best in racing. The crew being able to set up a car to take the punishment and a driver taking it to the limit. Mad props for all co-drivers for putting their lives in the drivers hands.
UsernameInboud
Props to the driver I don't know why people keep saying co-driver. Of course the co-driver has a very important job but the driver has more importance
Hotel Hyena
@GOD Trader absolutely agree here! It’s my favorite way to watch rally racing now
GOD Trader
One of the things that always put me off watch rallies in those days is the fact they only ever showed small parts of the track, it always just felt more like a news report/highlight reel, than actually a race. Rally POV is so much more interesting and gives a much better showcase of the skill of these drivers.

Ken: My drive here wasn't perfect
Me: I've never seen anything so beautiful in my life
M X L X V N I M E
@Robert Taylor its like a ball freestyler They can't join the best team and play with best player But they can show us the beauty of that sports,they look amazing freestyling those ball
0BlaiddDrwg0
@Robert Taylor yeah but Ken shows us the beauty of the sport, so we appreciate him.
Robert Taylor
The thing is even ken is not in the top 20 rally driver in his prime

Rally difficulty levels:
Driving the car: Medium

Understanding the co-driver: Impossible
Achmad Nurjaman Jatnika
Bruh, i don't recognize all of his word 😭
Azrael FPV
@saeed atenzi right 4 + probably means long or it opens up. Minus would mean tightens more than likely but my co drivers (I sim with life co drivers) never use + but that's just my experience
Jackson Boyer
Overall it's relatively simple you just need to know what the words mean. turns are rated from 1 to 6, 1 meaning very tight turn slow TF down, 6 means pretty much flat out. The number callouts such as 50 or 30 are denoting the relative distance until the next turn.

Drivng the car and understanding the co-driver: god level

I understood everything only thanks to playing DIRT Rally so much.

They’re like two sides of a brain communicating it’s crazy, this takes unfathomable teamwork, practice and dedication. Props to you ken for being the best at it!

How is it even possible to drive so fast and understand all of that fast "Code language" rapping at the same time!
Concentration level 💯
Hats off man..

Look up "speed runs"
arthur04ification
Why does the driver need his copilot ? Light bem a silly question bu t i santo to know.
Cactus StinG
@GOD Trader yes its called a recce where im from idk if it’s officially called that
GOD Trader
@Hingus Leleh No problem :)
Hingus Leleh
@GOD Trader thank man for the explanation! It really helps.
Jesse Carstensen
This was so satisfying. I love rally racing, seeing how the driver and co-driver are depending on one another and how much trust you have in one another is amazing to see.
liamaustenla
Did the co-driver really just apologise for one late call after that whole performance that guy is incredible 👏
Jou t7
Yes he apologized, when it was his only mistake, while everything else went good, when late mistake could cause crash, but Ken Block so good driver, that it didnt cause crash.
Escanor
When you’re going fast into an unknown turn, a late call can be dangerous. The co-pilot is basically giving an entire layout of what to expect and anything late can be unexpected which can lead to a slower time or even something dangerous. Luckily, it wasn’t anything major except for maybe a very slight difference in time. A very good co-pilot regardless 🤘🏽
MasterVZ
I’m a race. One late call could be costly n
Evan Janse
God bless, Jesus loves you

Yea cause one wrong call can end both of there lives he should of apologized

Bro, you guys rock. Fantastic professional cooperation and skill. Excellent experience! Thank you
Eric Guzman
damn that is insane, the amount of timing to navigate the course at those speed is incredible.

Now THIS, is what a driver test should look like.

Ken, I love your channel brother! You give me that sweet real POV look that makes you really feel onboard. Your co-driver's calls were on point! 👏👏👏 to you both!

I love the shifts and the sound of the car taking flight at 4:15

Outstanding driving and coordination from both, fun to watch! Thanks...

I'd do this all day long. Looks like a blast and those straight-cut gears sound amazing

Ken, you have skills... but your co-driver Alex getting the turns out on time while you guys are doing warp speed... damn. Just... damn. 😱🤯🤯
Janet Pettman
@Ken Block can u plz take me to school while drifting in the hoonicorn mk3
Sinbad WhiteLine
@John Brown pretty late BUT DUDE I hardly laugh at the best comedians but ur "one sneeze from ken and car goes atomic" almost killed me 😂
Monsalve
@BurritoKid Thank you i appreciate the knowledge.
BurritoKid
@Monsalve numbers tell you how tight the turn low numbers worse than high. caution means jump. no cut means "don't go inside there's a rock or something". plus means the turn is long. other numbers 20 80 300 mean distance to next turn. rest like bumpy wavy are just obvious
Liquid Mike
PLEASE turn captions on, you won't be disappointed

Navigators are so underrated....
Nice footage
Marianne Davis
This countryside is absolutely beautiful!! The views are so serene!! What an additional treat!! ♡♡♡
Yes to more like this!! My eyes are still glued to the road ahead!! ♡♡♡
BootsInShoes
Can we all take a moment and give Alex a round of applause. That was a lot of notes to go through.
trinityproj3ct
I-Love-CO Mountains Close. The corner/turn radius number usually corresponds to the gear used, one being hairpin, 6 being fast and straight.
I-Love-CO Mountains
@trinityproj3ct Sweet! I thought he was calling out gears!
trinityproj3ct
Usually it’s meters until next turn, direction, and severity or turn, and any characteristics. Left 2, 100 into right 4 plus long would be a second gear left followed in 100 meters by a slightly wide fourth gear long turn.
André Ferreira
👏👏
No0dLz
@QlueIess basically, he was telling Ken what the road looks like ahead, which way the next turn is and its tightness, how long, how much speed, announcing crests, chicanes, (potential) jumps, etc...
MrBill
Wow! Amazing! I just started playing dirt rally 2.0 and I dont think I have gotten anywhere close to these speeds.
Matt Wix
2:54 "6 sudden chicane right hand turn"
*Ken doesn't slow down*
"Uhhhhh... 6 sudden chicane right hand turn? I'm going to die"
zachary johnson
beauty of rally notes. he knew he had 250 before he had to slow down
Behzad
It's right "entrance" not hand turn
Augusto Barbosa
Muito bom !

@SennaFan I'm 33 and have been watching formula 1 since 1992 also funnily enough. I didn't paste a single thing from Wikipedia. Until about 10 years ago I could list off the top 6 finishers in almost every race from 1996-2002. Thankfully I now have more interesting things taking up my memory space. It's funny that a guy claiming to be such a major fan of formula 1 won't engage someone else who lived through the same era as him. You haven't answered a single point anyone has made. You are a man child.
MD
@SennaFan you are perfectly entitled to your opinion as is everyone else here. Don't get high and mighty about people calling you out though, as you were the first one to state that people who think formula 1 is crap now have a "bad opinion". You then pretended you wanted to hear reasons why we think it's crap and you ignored all of them and continued to insult people. Now I'm willing to engage again but it would be nice if you could act a little more mature. I think anyone who had a shallow love of formula 1 is less likely to think that it's crap nowadays. For someone like me who was obsessed with all aspects of the sport it is impossible to ignore that it hasn lost most of the things that made it interesting. All of the team owners have been replaced by corporate managers, that in itself takes away a huge element of interest in the sport. There are only a handful of engines now. My favourite season of all time is 1998. In 1998 there were 8 engine manufacturers! Now there are four and they cost huge amounts to develop. Some engines were fuel efficient and not that powerful, some were thirsty but had huge power and some were unreliable but fast. Some were heavy, some had a very low centre of gravity. It was fun knowing that at a track like Hockenheim cars such as the McLarens would be fast but highly likely to explode. It was fascinating. Now there are only four manufacturers and they are all very reliable, they are all very fuel efficient and only now, after 5 years of Mercedes domination are they of similar power outputs. Engine weight doesn't even matter as the cars are so damned heavy. Teams were able to make great progress within the year. For example Jordan, a team with 150 staff, introduced a B spec car and went from having zero points by race 8 to winning races and getting 4th in the championship by the end of the year. Now they are not even allowed introduce a B spec chassis so a team like Williams with almost 500 staff this year are stuck with a rubbish car for the entire season. It's costing an enormous amount of money just to stay rubbish with no hope of improvement. Even if you develop a good car, the regulations are so tight that it is unlikely to give you a huge boost. Hence most teams finishing in much the same championship position year after year. I consider DRS one of the worst things that has ever happened formula 1 but fans who just want to see brainless passing love it. To me it has removed the possibility of defensive driving totally from the sport. It's actually impossible to defend position anymore. I never found the on track action in formula 1 that great but all the other aspects more than made up for it. Now the on track action is actually pretty decent but they have lost almost everything else. To claim formula 1 is still as good as ever, suggests to me that you were never that interested in the behind the scenes aspects or engineering of the sport and only watched the racing.
Alexandr BESP
This video can be watching infinitely. Especially get adrenaline when the car accelerates on a straight road. Ken, many thanks for your video.

I imagine this as a leisure tour. Having the tour guide point out something every second.

@archimedes hackerman Jesus willingly took on the punishment for everyone’s sin so that if we have faith in Him (trust that Jesus is enough of a sacrifice for our sins) we can be saved and spend eternity with Him. Jesus didn’t have to take the torture of the cross and the punishment for our sin that we deserve but he chose to take the punishment so that we could be saved through Him.
Evan Janse
@archimedes hackerman Why do you think that?

Bruhh!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Peter Christian Bajuyo plus and minus is just making the number more accurate. So it would be 5, then 5+ is less acute, then 6-, then 6 and so on, you dong use it on every corner, jus ones where you think it really maters, you usually just round down so 3+ is 3 3- is 2. The machine that puts the notes together uses plus and minus on every corner along with a lot of extra stuff, it’s the driver and co driver’s job to simplify those instructions so the co driver can keep up.

I have always said that rally drivers, that includes co-pilot, are the most talented car based motor sport drivers....
This type of videos on this type of stage proves that statement

22 second improvement is incredible. Thats the difference from 20th place to podium.

had goose bumps ............ love the sensation by just watching ........ Driver view is awesome ,,,,,,,,,,,, i would love if v had the driver & codriver conversations too ......... great drive

love the moral support from the co-driver at around 3:57

I like that the Co-driver repeats the dangerous turns, I don’t think that all of them do that.

Awesome :D Was playing Dirt Rally on PC just now and even in a video game, I'm like......many less % as fast :D. But I understand the navigator calls :D What helps me (for others saying this is confusing) is that you build a mental image of the track as an 'overlay' almost like in a video game
