"The ridge of fire? Yeah. All the Andes are all volcanic. Science teammate the up and coming Sebastian Loeb won his first driver's championship that year. And leaned on signs for help all season long. Specifically crediting science expertise in tires as a reason for his victory. Signs retired at the end of 2004, but would return to Citroen twice the following year to fill in for a faltering driver. He took fourth and third place after his retirement, which is pretty cool to just come back and be like, I still got it, boys. That's pretty awesome. Signs remains one of the most respected WRC drivers to this day. He wasn't the flashy driver, and he wasn't the most quotable guy around, but his teammates and contemporaries remember him for his hard work, his patients and his determination. Malcolm Wilson signs a teammate at Ford described signs of the type of guy who would show up at 8 in the morning and stay until four or 5 the following morning. Whatever was necessary. Oh, my God. Mark Marty, co driver to Carlos from 2003 to 2005, said quote, you could receive a call from Carlos on Sunday or Saturday or on Christmas. You never know. But you must be ready to answer the questions about the setting, the notes about the stages about everything. Even on Christmas, Joe, you could be opening presents with your kids and he's going to call you up and be like, hey, wait, what was the rebound we had set on the rear of the car? I'd be like, I don't know, man. I'm in my PJs. I'm making nog. Luis moya thinks signs commitment to staying physically fit was a big part of his success. Drivers today do a lot of physical training outside of the racetrack, but it wasn't the norm back in science day. Carlos was always active and good at almost everything he did. Moya described moya described signs his competitive nature, quote he is good at everything, running, biking. He has to be the best, and that respect, you kind of hate people like that. Every time you play something, he was always good. He had to win anything he would do. And he had the ability ever since he was born. We have a lot of these type of people at donut, like Canaan or job. Impossible to beat them at anything. And if you do beat them, you can see this thing in their eyes where it's like, this is not over. And then next time you do it, they're ten times better. They're like, I've been practicing for three weeks. I bought all the gear, dude. Job is such a gear head. If he gets into any sport, you know, he's buying the best of the best. Yeah. We are so lucky that job isn't good at guitar. But his sister is amazing. His sister has a single on Spotify. What? Look up Riley job. It's really good. And it bugs me that that family is so good at everything. The jobs are good at everything. Yeah. But yeah, if Zach was good at guitar, it would just be over for everybody. He's handsome. He can do like Trey flips, constantly. He can golf really well. He's so good at golfing. He can build cool stuff. Put shredding on top of that. I know. I think I'm still better at disc golf than he is. So I'm holding on to that. We'll be right back with more of this story, but first, a word from our sponsors.

"Carlos made a habit of winning inaugural rallies, and this was not by chance. His teammates credited signed success to his intense preparation and his insistence on testing and getting the most out of his cars in difficult conditions. Signs got third place again in 1997, finishing behind McEnany and mccray, despite winning again in Indonesia and acropolis. Man, this dude just rocks acropolis every time. He rocks acropolis. He loves Greece. He loves, is that Zeke. If there's one thing we're good at on this podcast, it's boiling down entire cultures into one dish. Side dish. Yeah. I need to travel more. I mean, the only exposure I have to Greek food is like when we order Mediterranean and that's not even like exclusively Greek. Yeah. It's Mediterranean. It's a region out of country. I'm ignorant, and I'm sorry. My sister went to Mykonos. I'd love to go to Mykonos. I'd love to go to Santorini and see all those. Oh, yeah. You know, white houses, I thought that was Mykonos. I think it's a theme with Greece is to, you know, blue and white, like the flag. That's right. It looks awesome. I'd love to see the coliseum. That's in Rome. I know. I'd love to see the acropolis. I'd love to drift a car around it. I'd love to see the Parthenon. Look, if you're a past gas listener from Greece, email us, tell us what kind of cool cars you have and where we should go if we ever travel there. We'd love to hear. Dude, we're going to go to the Parthenon, which is, I guess, near acropolis, or a temple on the Athenian acropolis. Yeah, so. That's the big one on the top of the mountain that you see in every picture. That's so sick. Sorry for that side. Now, the highlight of 1997 for signs might have been winning the race of champions, the only motor sport event featuring drivers from Formula One, WRC, IndyCar and NASCAR going head to head in identical cars. Once you know it, signs beat mccray in the final round. Race of champions is pretty cool. We might have to do something about that. Yeah, we should. Let us know if you want to hear an episode on that. Signs went back to Toyota in 1998, where he drove the corolla world rally car to victory in his first race, back at the Monte Carlo rally. He went on to win the New Zealand rally and was only two points behind the leader Tommy mackinnon headed into the final event, the rally of Great Britain. This time, victory seemed certain for signs when McEnany was retired on the first day, signs only had to finish fourth or better to win his third championship. Signs was in fourth place an imposition to secure the championship when his corolla's engine gave out only 300 meters from the finish line. Oh no. The engine blew a hole in it, the car wouldn't start. Luis moya threw his helmet through the car's rear window in what would unfortunately become an iconic moment of moya and signs his career. The loss was almost surreal in how heartbreaking it was for the pair. Moya recalls quote, I remember a football player from the Barcelona team, a good friend of mine. He said, I can't imagine. I'm trying to hit the last penalty in a football match in the World Cup and I miss it. I said, no, no, no. Imagine that the ball explodes. We didn't miss it. Signs still doesn't talk much about the event, recalling it mostly as a learning experience. I mean, 300 meters couldn't you just run out and push it? Maybe. That'd be my heart would explode. The letdown from 1998 bled into the following year where signs finished just 5th overall with no wins. Toyota won the manufacturer's title, but dropped out of WRC the following year to focus more on Formula One. Signs was forced to find a new home yet again, so he went to one he was familiar with, returning to Ford for the third time in teaming up once again with Colin McRae. These guys just can't get enough of each other. No. Signs one that inaugural Cyprus rally, which was thrown together in just four months to replace the China rally. Signs relentless preparation paid off again as he led the race from start to finish on what would have been a new level playing field for everyone. Sims finished third in points that season driving the Ford focus RS WRC. This is a sick car. 2001 wasn't signs best season. He didn't score a single victory, but remained competitive enough to finish 6 overall, only 11 points behind that year's champion. Subaru's Richard burns, Richard burns, Richard burns rally. Dick burns. Still a dick burns. Science finished third in 2002, one point ahead of McRae before Ford decided to reduce the contracts of their two drivers to focus on improving their cars. Signs and McRae left for citron in 2003, but this time signs co driver Lewis moya left him due to a disagreement over a contract. The two would remain friends because their Spanish said moya. I'm more of an open person. I'm more of an open person. I speak more than Carlos and I think that's why the relationship was so good. For 15 years, we lived in a cubic meter together. Of course we had some moments that were difficult. Of course there were big silences. But we always got back together. And science said, I have very much enjoyed being partners. I probably pissing off so many Spaniards right now. Spain's number one automotive history podcast. Past gas. No, I'm. Nevertheless, signs push forward and drove the last two seasons of his rally career with his new co driver, Mark Marty. Signs one yet another inaugural rally in turkey. This dude just can not be stopped at least for the first race. Solidifying his reputation as the winner of new events. This is also the citron Zara's first win on gravel, sorry if I butchered that name, proving it was a car for all surfaces. It's spelled XS ARA Zara. That makes sense to me. Yeah. Science mccray and Sebastian Loeb drove Citroen to a manufacturer's title in 2003 in Citroen's first full season in the WRC. And that would go on to be kind of a dynasty itself with Loeb, right? Yeah, Sebastian Loeb, freaking monster in this car. In 2004, Carlos won his 26th and final WRC victory at rally Argentina. This was a WRC record at the time. It was a left, but it was one of the best, said signs. I'm sorry to be that guy that relates everything to racing simulators, but Argentina is probably one of the hardest courses in dirt rally. The course itself is like a super narrow dirt road that goes through a bunch of volcanic rock. Yeah. It's like, if they had a rally on Venus or something, it looks like that. It's insane, dude. And it's really cool because the crowd is all perched up on top of the rocks. But man, to win that. So even finish that is a feat in itself. Yeah, I would imagine that volcanic rock when it gets wet is probably really slippery. Yeah. Well, looking at it, I'm sure it's some of its volcanic. Yeah. Yeah, so. Well, that's right on the line of fire. What do they call it? Oh..

"I liked it. Okay, cool. The lateral Lisp. Signs didn't win a single rally in 1993 while Toyota and his former teammate yu ha con kenin won the manufacturers and the driver's championship, respectively. Launcher withdrew from WRC competition altogether after the 1993 season. That was the year I was born. They're like, oh no, Nolan's on the planet. Oh no. Which better get ready for this guy who's gonna be a phenom. Science moved on to a more inexperienced but highly motivated Subaru team in 1994, where he drove the Impreza 5 5 5, this is the gold one, right? No, I believe this is, this is the blue one with the this is a blue one. Okay. We drove the Impreza 5 5 5 to its first ever win at the acropolis rally in Greece. This is also his first of three stints teaming up with con McRae. Hey, hey, I know that guy. You know that guy. This is cool 'cause I remember we mentioned Carlos Sainz in our column mccray series, and I was like, huh, I wonder when we'll ever talk about this. And now we are. Yeah. Subaru plays second in the manufacturer's championship that year. Science was in position to win his third driver's championship, leading in the final rally before spinning out retiring from the race and finishing second overall for the season. That sucks, man. That's the thing about racing is just everything can change in a blink of an eye. This was the second time signs lost a driver's championship that seemed to be well in hand in the final rally of the season and it wouldn't be the last. Science came out strong in 1995 winning the Monte Carlo rally, and then the rally to Portugal, despite driving the last 7 kilometers with a broken brake line. What? How? Barely worked or didn't work at all. Yeah, I'm not sure. Science tour three ligaments in his shoulder falling off a bicycle and was forced to sit out rally New Zealand. I think, okay, new rule, I think if you are involved in something big, you don't take any risks. Don't blow it, you know, don't ride the bike. I almost blew it when I broke my collarbone on my BMX bike. We were like two months away from shooting high low and the first season of HiLOW and I kind of bloat, I could have blown it. It would have been bad for yeast still could have done it, but it would have been uncomfortable it would have been very uncomfortable, but luckily it healed up and I was able to do it by the time. But anyway, not to bring everything back to baseball, but there's a picture. Madison Bumgarner, who they found out later that he was riding bulls under a different name because what he was banned from doing anything that could have messed up his arms or hands. And I think he broke his hand and said that it was, he was riding an ATV, but then it came out that he was riding bulls. Oh my God, yeah, don't blow it. Don't blow it. This injury combined with a retirement in rally Australia and a shortened 8 event season, opened the door for teammate con mccray to catch up in the driver's championship standings. Signs and McRae were in positions one and two heading into the final stage of the Catalunya rally in Spain. But because the Subaru team was so far ahead of the rest of the field, Subaru team director David Richards told McCrae not to battle signs for first and risk a wreck that would ruin Subaru's certain one to finish. The Scotsman McCrae ignored this direction, of course, and went all out in the race, eventually passing signs and losing only because of self inflicted time penalty, he took to keep the team somewhat happy. Signs was not happy. That's crazy. I mean, to pass someone in rally is really impressive because I think they leave in staggered, they have staggered starts, whether it might be like 30 seconds or a minute between the cars. So you're making up serious time and then you're also passing on some of the skinniest sketchiest roads. Yeah, it's wild. Yeah. Would you say it's impressive? Yeah, Joe, I would. McRae went on to win the final RAC rally in front of his home crowd in the UK to secure his first and only drivers championship. Signs got second helping super to win its first manufacturers championship. This was the third time science felt he could have and should have won the driver's championship. If it weren't for his injury and unruly teammate. Signs left Subaru with an aching shoulder and a horrible taste in his mouth. Frustrated and looking for yet another fresh start in 1996, signs rejoined Ford, driving the escort RS Cosworth. Signs finished third overall for the season, behind Tommy mcin and mccray. It was a rather unremarkable year for signs. Although he did chalk up an impressive win at the inaugural rally Indonesia, where climate provided a unique challenge, sign said quote, suddenly you start the rally and you could get a storm full of water in everything and you can not imagine how slippery it was. The fastest hiring those conditions was the snow tires. Luis moya claimed it was so slippery in Indonesia, the couldn't even stand. I'm pretty good at standing, though. I don't know. I can stand. We'll get back to more past gas, but right now, a word from our sponsors. Can I be honest with you? We all struggle with feeling motivated to get up and get moving, go exercise. I can speak to that to know in because I have such a hard time getting up, forcing myself to go exercise. Well, that's what makes peloton so cool is you can do any type of workout whenever you want. They got all types of workout classes. They got cycling, and they got boxing, they got whatever you're into, whenever you want.

"Isn't real time. This doesn't work for this medium. Yeah. Maybe if we recorded a podcast during the Civil War, maybe this would work, but maybe. Maybe. So I'm your host Nolan Sykes, joined as always by Joe Weber. Whoop whoop. What's up? Yeah, so if James gets his Internet fixed, he'll call in. You'll just have to stick around and listen to see if that happens. I'm just going to have to listen to the very last minute to see if he stops by. Yeah, but this week we are talking about the science family. Carlos signs junior is probably one of the more popular drivers on the grid these days. Because he's so handsome. He's a very handsome fellow. It just seems like a good dude. He's a great driver too. I think his parts on drive to survive have really kind of helped his popularity for sure. Absolutely. Especially online. I think it's in season two or three where they focus on Carlos and they're like at the signs estate of Spain and I'm like, man, I wish I was at that dinner. That looks so nice. I just want to see it be at the table and just enjoy good content. Just eating like jamon jamon iberico next to this beautiful Lake. Yes. With all the science family. I would just sit there and just enjoy being there. I won't even say anything. I know very little Spanish. They probably all speak English, but I'm excited for today's episode. So without further ado, let's get into it. Carlos signed senior was born on April 12th, 1962, in Madrid, Spain. Carlos was good at every sport he tried. He won the Spanish squash championship at age 16. And was good enough at soccer or football to be invited to try out for Real Madrid. His favorite team to this day. Damn, this guy's good. Yeah, what? Have you ever played squash? I don't even know what that is. I play pickleball, which is like squash light. Oh, interesting. My parents love pickleball. It's very popular in a task here right now. I think everyone's parents are into pickleball. It's easy on the knees. Oh, did they call it pickleball because it's like a different squash? Because a pickle is a pickled cucumber, which is technically a squash. No. A cucumber is not part of the squash family. Okay, well, we can debate that at another time. Carlos spent two years in law school before he dropped out to pursue a career in racing, like his brother, Antonio. Carlos started racing in 1980, and by 1986, he finished second in the Spanish rally championship, driving a Group B, Renault 5 turbo. He won the Spanish rally championship in 1987 and 1988, driving a Ford Sierra RS Cosworth and made his first appearances in the world rally championships with Ford around that same time. The rear wheel drive Ford Sierra struggled to compete with the all wheel drive cars on the WRC stage. So Carlos left Ford for Toyota in 1989. Oh wait, is this the year that they cheated? No, but I'm sure we'll talk about that. That was a mid 90s. Oh, and also I've got egg all over my face because cucumber definitely in the squash family. Yes. Score one for Nolan. I'm keeping track. Carlos's time at Ford wasn't a total loss, however. It was there that he teamed up with Luis moya, who would leave Ford with signs and remain his co driver for the next 15 years. Signs got on the podium three times in 1989 in his Toyota celica GT four ST one 6 5 Supra turbo and probably would have won the final race of the season, the RAC rally, if it weren't for mechanical failure in the final stages. He finished 8th overall in total points despite starting the season with four retirements in a row. It's pretty clear that science has a lot of town at this point. I mean, he's been in the game for 9 years now. People know he's good. He's just got to get that bit of luck. So 1989 that the super was still part of the celica line or what? Yeah, I mean, Supra was just a trim of celica. Yeah, I know that, but I thought that it had become its own car by 1989, but I guess I'm wrong. Toyota salka GT four ST one 65, Supra turbo. I think they only called the boxy loom once, the celica Supra. And then when it got more curvy, that's when it became just a silica on its own. Yeah, I love my curvy car. I love my curvy car. By 1999, it was on. Science drove the celica GT four ST one 6 5 to his first WRC victory at the acropolis rally in Greece and followed up with victories at rally New Zealand and the 1000 lakes rally in Finland. The 1000 lakes rally is driven on wide and smooth, gravel roads, and is considered the fastest event in the world rally championship. When I used to play dirt all the time, dirt rally, Finland was definitely my favorite because this is a good track. That's so fun. So fast. This is where that Hyundai I 20 flipped over, like crazy. This course is often called the Grand Prix on gravel. Signs was the first non Nordic driver to win the thousand lakes rally in the 40 year history of the event. Jesus. This is one of the many times that science was the first to do something in WRC. And perhaps it was a foreshadowing of his son's aptitude for driving on tarmac and form of the one. Signs went on to win the last race of the year, the aforementioned RIC rally to capture his first WRC driver's title in 1990. He beat out Lancia's Ariel and cancun, becoming the first driver outside of Lancia to win the championship since the start of the group a era in 1987. Signs nearly defended his title in 1991. He won three of the first four rallies, but then rolled his car in Australia in a wreck that left him in a neck brace. Signs went into the final RIC rally up one point on his rival canon, but ultimately lost, driving the final stages with an overheating engine. And signs points totals, one 50 and one 43, both broke the previous record set by signs in 1990. Dude, I just lost my fantasy baseball match by one point. And it's killing me. Oh, dude, are you going to have to do some weird wager? No, I think we only put ten bucks in, but it's just the principle. I see. Well, better luck next time, Joe. Thank you. Signs one is second and final WRC drivers championship in 1992 in dramatic come from behind fashion. Signs and moya left Toyota the following year due to a conflict of interest regarding motor oil sponsorship. Signs the driver was sponsored by Repsol. Toyota's new sponsor was castrol. Signs and moya had no choice, said moya quote, if we didn't leave Toyota in 1992 to go to Lancia, we probably would have been the kind of drivers that would have remained on the same team. Maybe forever at Toyota. Why is that a bad thing though? I don't know. There's a lot of implications in there that I don't really understand. I feel like a lot of drivers like, you know, pick one team and then stay with it forever. Yeah, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Just maybe he's just talking about getting like stagnant. Yeah, maybe. Staying on the same team would not be the way things worked out for signs. Signs would switch teams 6 times in the next 12 years with plenty of big wins, but more bad luck along the way. Uh oh. Uh oh. Foreshadowing, dude. Science first and only year with Lancia was a disaster. Launcher had won the manufacturer's championship every year from 1987 to 1992, but when signs arrived in 1993, the writing was on the wall. According to signs, the evolution. The evolution of launcher stopped one year before. I have good memories of the people but the car was science trailed off, not one to talk negatively about anybody..

My husband and i actually were using comedy. Dark humor to cope. He was terminally ill. We work in the space. We produced a comedy podcast together. That was a good chunk of what we did working in entertainment together and for me it was just like instinctual. I found his body on our kitchen floor and i had originally planned on taking my life because he was the only person that had ever loved me unconditionally. He was the only family i had and i started just making dark jokes about it to the trauma specialist. Who was there and she started laughing. The emt started laughing. Because they're sickos you know that's what they do to cope too is just make dark jokes. They got it and that's originally. What prevented me from going through with it was hearing that laughter which you can probably relate to. You know you hear that laughter. It's like validation hakoah okay and my thought was like you know if i can't if i if nobody's gonna love me anymore. I can at least make people laugh. So maybe there is something worth sticking around for but sweet. I think there's no one's gonna love you hate woman that's immediately where when but you didn't have that same experience it for you. It actually took you months before you started laughing again after you lost your sister. Am i remembering that right. Yeah it actually took me years. I would say Fister was one of many millions of americans involved in the process of the opioid crisis and it opened. Crisis is something that has taken over many small towns and cities on all sides of the aisle left right center. And at first. When you're a kid growing up you see people taking pain pills. We laugh about it but as it progressed. She moved more into harder drugs. And then my mom found my sister dead from heroin because of an overdose Choose age of thirty four and it happened when i was on the road and holy shit now. My family members was a heroin addict. What how did that happen. And that that was just so unfunny to me. It was just one of the most unfunny unfair super like an. I've heard people. I use russell brand a lot like he gets to survive wine but lindsay died funny to me but obviously he's been through it and he was able to kick the habit but there's so many people that don't get that lucky And yet it wasn't it was not funny It only was harder to do comedy work. Because at the time. I was touring and i didn't know the purpose of even writing a joke because that was my first real grasp of mortality. And not in the order that you were told it would happen grandma. Grandpa mom dad. You maybe siblings your children. You don't really think oh it could jump.
