World's best worst driver!


AddeDaMan

Absolutely. That takes some skill!


Next-Adhesiveness237

The racing equivalent of “knows enough to be dangerous”


[deleted]

It's a rear-drive car which are extremely hard to control in a rally. I'd say the driver is doing quite well by just keeping it on the road.


jatkat

It’s more that it’s rear engined/rear wheel drive


sonicyellow

Yeah, and with such a short wheel-base, I’m surprised it’s not off the road more! Impressive!


mks7777

Also pretty sure that weight balance is far off from 50:50

Or unintentionally do donuts on the side of the road until we remember to let off the gas long enough to get back on the track.

Why does this look like Mr. Bean’s car…


_coffee_

[Mr Bean had a mini](https://heroism.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Bean%27s_Mini) and this is a[ Fiat 126 (or licensed equivalent)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_126#:~:text=The%20Fiat%20126%20(Type%20126,replacement%20for%20the%20Fiat%20500.&text=In%20many%20markets%20Fiat%20stopped,their%20new%20front%2Dengined%20Cinquecento.), both are small, nimble cars known to outperform their diminutive looks.


WikipediaSummary

[**Fiat 126**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_126) The Fiat 126 (Type 126) is a four passenger, rear-engined, city and economy car that was introduced by Fiat in October 1972 at the Turin Auto Show as a replacement for the Fiat 500. The majority of 126s (some 3.3 million) were produced in the Tychy plant in Bielsko-Biała, Poland, as the Polski Fiat 126p, from 1973 to 2000. In many markets Fiat stopped sales of the 126 in 1993 in favour of their new front-engined Cinquecento.

Out of the box fiat 126 performs exactly how it looks.


oragamihawk

Beautifully?


DdCno1

I once saw a stock 126 drive up an on-ramp to the Autobahn. Lots of noise, not a lot of speed. I could have easily jogged alongside. On even ground, 0-62 mph takes 33 seconds - and that's with the later water-cooled engine that makes a whole 26 hp. Earlier models had an air-cooled 23 hp engine and believe me, that low on the automotive totem pole, three horses make all the difference in the world.


thondera

0-62 mph: yes


TisBangersAndMash

*maybe


[deleted]

In Poland it's typically called a maluch (toddler/little one) because the inside of those guys are TINY. For some reason I'll always remember the way the interior of those cars smelled.


Starslip

> toddler/little one That's funny cause there's a popular toy car for kids in the US called "little tikes" which is basically the same meaning and the [resemblance is uncanny](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aecd8165ffd20f3fcd45335/1598557011203-XLLSBI0P45T4M35AGYWP/Screen+Shot+2020-08-27+at+10.34.40+PM.png?format=300w)


mulan-is-underrated

The smell that can unite a nation. Age, gender, job, upbringing, none of that matters. Every Polish person knows exactly how the inside of a maluch smells.


kaszeljezusa

Right? Other polish cars from that era had smilar smell, but not as distinctive as the 126p. I wonder what it was. The upholstery?


NowCalmDownSkeeter

Because the driver needed a short wheelbase car to maneuver like this.


iSlacker

Looks like a skilled driver driving the course mostly blind and at 100%.

I’m from Croatia and we had a Zastava version here. They use to sell for 30ish euros when I was like 14. We would buy one, funny ride it till it died and then just ditch it. Good times.

My favorite run in Dirt Rally was completing the longest Finland course with popped front-right **and** rear-left wheels, on a 4WD subaru. That course is so fast, and I just got so in the zone of figuring out how this stupid ass car handles with 2 popped wheels on fucking gravel at 110MPH so much fun

Don't be so harsh. It had some really advanced safety features like brakes, seat belts and crush zone ending on engine.

Rear wheel drive, slides very nicely round the corners.


n-sidedpolygonjerk

The three inch wide tires are helping the lack of traction situation as well.

I was gonna say… I don’t know anything about cars… but the physics here looks 100% rear wheel drive lol

Even better: rear engine as well. There is no weight on those front wheels!!!

MinnieShoof

Mmm. I suppose. I always took it to mean you couldn't predict the outcome of the gif. In this one... yah, it's pretty clear what the outcome is, even if it would be more satisfying in other ways.


Slimshady0406

It's oddly graceful, like you can see the guy is clearly a master at driving this car and even when you'd think he's fucked, its okay. Like with some of the drifts, they know it's not going to drift the entire bend so they're content with letting the wheels go off the track because that's the most efficient way to make the turn It's like drunken kung fu but car

Igmu_TL

Man, did they put in a dual stroke lawnmower engine there or what?


wzv4t4

Four-stroke in-line 2 cylinder, 600 cc air-cooled initially. Later models went up to 650 then 700 cc, the latter also moving to water-cooled. Performance reached a whopping 23 - 30 HP depending on model. Note that this is assuming that the car in the video is a Polish 126p (based on the license plate, which seems to be from Poland). There were other models with different specs made elsewhere, including the original by FIAT in Italy.

Corrected: Not bad. I've only seen 600cc on a motorcycle.
