Okay, please someone explain this video to me. Is samir blind? Is this like, a test, to see if a blind man can drive with a navigator? Why is there a navigator telling him about medium lefts? Should a driver not be able to see a medium left coming up? What is happening here?
This is rally driving.
The guy yelling is called the co-pilot. Their job is to know what turns, speeds, and terrain is coming up to convey to the pilot/driver. They're going so fast that they literally don't know what's coming up or how to take the corners, so they depend almost entirely on their copilot to tell them about what turns and what speed they should be at before the turn and then they convert that into really badass Rally powersliding action.

Tl;Dr: it's heavily edited and posted by a rival to discredit them.
They should have pivoted from rally racing to rally racing live streaming. Dudes would have been legends
Adding on, something I didn't realize for a while is that the driver practices the course and writes their own instructions. Then the co-pilot relays during the race.
