Calling Turns in the High-Stakes World of Rally Racing

YouTube description:

In the high-speed world of rally car racing, you’re only as good as your co-driver. As these racers speed around hairpin turns on unpaved, narrow roads, drivers must rely on the shorthand calls of their co-pilots to stay on course. To the uninitiated, these calls can sound like gibberish. But for father-daughter rally team Steve and Alison Laroza, this language has developed into an almost telepathic understanding that has kept them safe and confident on the course. Buckle up!

I always think those drivers must be master multitaskers to be able to listen, translate, anticipate, and drive balls out all at once. They're rivaled only by jet sprint boat racers, who take all the directional information, speed it up by 3, and make it 100% hand signals....all on water at fighter plane g forces.

I do better driving blind over listening to fast pace notes....I just can't do both at once very well.
