Rallying is never anything less than a spectacular sport, with huge speeds, even bigger crashes and cars that are often not even touching terra firma, let alone on all four wheels. It’s a sport that’s even more fascinating when you head behind the scenes, and an access-all-areas pass really shows how much skill, determination and nerve is required to compete at the top level. Whether it’s Kalle Rovanperä showing his amazing natural talent, or Mike Chen following the WRC around the world, these are six of the best rallying videos you can watch for free on Red Bull TV.
01

Going Straight Sideways
Ever wondered exactly what it’s like to be a rally driver? So did long-time WRC journalist Mike Chen. Like many of us, Chen grew up living and breathing all things motorsports, but until Going Straight Sideways he’d never actually raced a car. The insightful series shows what it takes to tackle the notoriously difficult Wales Rally GB, from acquiring a competition licence to understanding pace notes, and if you dream of being the next Sébastien Ogier it’s well worth a watch.

Inside Rallycross
Motorsport is littered with racing families, from Michael and Ralf Schumacher, Max and Jos Verstappen to older generations like Damon and Graham Hill. The Hansen Brothers are Rallycross’s own racing royalty, with Kevin and Timmy the sons of 14-time European Rallycross Champion Kenneth Hansen, and successful racers (and a World Champion, in Timmy’s case) in their own right. Check out the very first episode of Inside Rallycross below.

Kalle Rovanperä: Born to Drive
Kalle Rovanperä has been lighting up the WRC, proving incredibly formidable for one so young. It’s far from the first time the talented Finn has demonstrated his immense skill though, and Born to Drive shows just how much talent he possesses, following his beginnings as an eight-year old behind the wheel of an actual rally car, and showing his journey through the ranks to the very top of the sport.
10 min
Born to Drive
Kalle Rovanperä started driving rally cars at the age of eight and has been unstoppable since.
05
Mike Chen's Co-Driving School
If you enjoyed Chen’s Going Straight Sideways, you’ll love his Co-Driving School, which does exactly what it says on the tin. This time the seemingly fearless journalist straps in for one of the most terrifying jobs in motorsports, handing over control to somebody else and discovering how to communicate and advise a rally driver on what they should be doing. Get it wrong, and the stakes are incredibly high, which makes for compelling viewing.
06
On Pace with Pastrana
There are few drivers quite like Travis Pastrana, a competitor who’s genuinely more interested in pushing the limits than being pigeon-holed, and in pursuit of excellence and the ultimate adrenaline rush, Pastrana has competed in everything from motocross to rally, monster trucks to NASCAR. On Pace with Pastrana follows him as he embarks on a racing journey that takes in different motorsports and includes guest appearances from a host of top athletes.
