Comments by "Mikko Rantalainen" (@MikkoRantalainen) on "NASCAR Fan Reacts to Juha Kankkunen Incredible On Board Footage + Toyota Celica ST 185 SOUNDS" video.
6:20 the amount of driving you have to do with one and was insane. You probably had to visit the gym to train your right hand only to keep some kind of muscle balance!

It seems that you still haven't reacted to this old classic video where Ari Vatanen (another legendary Finnish driver) drives the car so close to limit that even the co-driver says "Oh, dear God!" in the middle of the course being afraid that they're going to hit a wall: "Dear God"!! Ari Vatanen's big Rally moment in the Opel Manta 400! 1983 Manx International https://youtu.be/cxDz0Z066NI?si=VXYy4Dqf5T7cMZ-U The video has surprisingly good image quality because it was originally shot on film with a small camera attached to the car. He drove a bit slower after the incident, not because he was scared but because one tyre was punctured! One YouTube commentator summarized that video pretty well: That's a more sincere "Dear God" than you'll ever hear in church.

Kankkunen is 3rd most successful rally driver ever: 4 WRC Drivers' Champion titles with three different manufacturers (Peugeot, Lancia, Toyota). Only guys better ever were Sébastien Ogier (8 titles, three manufacturers, too) and Sébastien Loeb (9 titles, 1 manufacturer) and both drove in the era with computer controlled diffs and paddle-shifters on the steering wheel so the amount of manual work was much less. Next year (2025) Kankkunen is going to be deputy team principal for Toyota WRC team so he's still working.
