The WRC is the FIA World Rally Championship, a tough motorsport using rally cars on real roads around the world. Watch the best rally drivers battle on gravel and asphalt roads with mud, rain, dust, ice and heat! Watch high speed action as the rally drivers power slide and drift round narrow corners, go flat out over a big jump or through a watersplash, handbrake turn round a hairpin, survive a big moment, or have a massive crash! Rally requires maximum attack and careful tactics to become world rally champion.
Each rally has timed sections called special stages, on closed roads. Drivers complete these stages as quickly as possible. A co-driver reads pace notes that explain the hazards ahead. Rally drivers use the same rally car to travel to each stage on public roads, following normal traffic regulations. The crew which completes all the stages in the shortest time is the rally winner. Championship points are won using the same scoring system as Formula 1. The championship is administered by Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body.
Over 30 countries have hosted WRC rallies. Rally Monte Carlo, Rally Argentina, Rally Finland, Rally Portugal, Tour de Corse on Corsica, France, Rally Sardegna on Sardinia, Italy, Safari Rally in Kenya, Acropolis Rally in Greece, Rally New Zealand, Rally Australia, Rally Japan, Rally GB, Rally Catalunya, Rallye Deutschland, Rally Mexico and many more.
Some of the world's greatest drivers have won the FIA World Rally Championship for Drivers, like Colin McRae, Carlos Sainz, Walter Röhrl, Stig Blomqvist, Petter Solberg, Ott Tänak. The list of world rally champions includes many Finnish rally drivers like Juha Kankkunen, Tommi Mäkinen, Ari Vatanen, Marcus Grönholm, Hannu Mikkola. French drivers have had success with Sébastien Ogier, and 9 times world champion Sébastien Loeb. Famous drivers from other motorsports have come to try rally driving like Ken Block from Rallycross, and Robert Kubica and Kimi Räikkönen from F1.
Car companies compete for the prestigious FIA World Rally Championship for Manufacturers awarded to the most successful WRC constructor. Winners include Citroen, Hyundai, Volkswagen and Peugeot. Ford have had success with the Ford Escort, Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta when the M-Sport team won in 2017.
The 1980's featured the iconic Group B rally cars like the Lancia 037 and Delta S4, Peugeot 205 T16, MG Metro 6R4, Ford RS200 and Audi Quattro.
Japan dominated the 1990s with the Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Celica and Toyota Corolla. Toyota returned to the WRC in 2017 with the Toyota Yaris WRC, winning in 2018. The 2019 championship was won by Hyundai with the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC. Find out about the latest winners and champions at www.wrc.com

[@YBM2007]

Imagine a full season for Colin in the Skoda with proper backing, one of the great motorsport 'what ifs' in my humble opinion...

[@danross8565]

Nearly happened in 2006

[@MadCarTK]

I love the calm before the storm, thanks for leaving in the first 20 seconds

[@altern8ive]

two years on from when i first saw this and it remains possibly one of the finest 10 minutes you'll ever watch on youtube!

[@Lindstroem]

don't think iv'e ever seen someonedrive a Fabia in that way. Colin is a true legend!

[@joselamaryoh33]

7:19 "well done" i love it!

[@KKSrally]

half a stage :( old youtube 10min limitation

[@TJlaaaaaa]

two legends in that car... we forget nicky grist, but he is one of the best co-drivers...

[@lolykebrtwv]

7:19 plays with my head so much

[@wejustsawmanfly]

WTF HAPPENED HERE DUDE, I HAVE NO IDEA :D

[@QuinnBoone]

He went in a ditch i think

[@TheEedjit]

Double hairpin

[@AppelCheeks]

Happens even to the world's best. Grist was very motivating.

[@MrBanaanipommi]

lol there was 2 hairpins to different ways after another, car almost spinned. nothing else happened there

[@Steel1Warrior]

McRae is a legendary racer

[@damarfadlan9251]

This 2005 onboard reminded me a lot to WRC5 RALLY EVOLVED.

[@fermillo65]

this is exhausting even to watch it ! mindblowing !

[@T93N1]

3:40-3:43 Thats absolutely amazing!!!! I love the way this guy gets all of his cars!!!

[@ratewi]

realye nice onbaord, colin showed the potential of the skoda. great drive!

[@RSPORTMEDIA]

[@paveloliva3098]

I can't help mysellf but Colin showed to Skoda what Is possible 👍💯

[@MentalParadox]

[@MrTestew1]

this is MADNESS!!!!!!

[@Highskill3r]

legend

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

This is one stage before markko martins co driver died in the crash

[@davepop]

@SvenT23 All the top WRC cars are like this. The driver changes gear on the steering wheel (A bit like F1). It uses hydraulics to make the gears shift. If this system fails they then have the gear stick to enable them to change gear.

[@ruimcrae]

great video... thanks

[@kjetilros]

The champion at work.

[@MarioCostantiniSatch]

masterclass of rally!!!!!!!!!!

[@blueflagcfcyt]

Legendary man

[@blueflagcfcyt]

Colin,the greatest driver ever!

[@AlejjSi]

have soften the car and Schwarz began doing good times.And what he said about it?"I always said,that hardening the setup is the roght way".That confirms what i wrote.And when Colin came here and stamped his autority and didnt let Schwarz giving him problems,the german leaders of the team were furious and maybe because of this,they decided to change Colins clutch in Australia too late for the mechanics to do it

[@WRCSeb]

The last full stage of that rally

[@sevos07gr]

Impressive!!!!

[@AlejjSi]

@TimothyParadox1 Grist always said "well done" when Colin survived such a situation as this was

[@roughcutflex]

legend...please post the halfway stage,colin was the main draw for spectators on this rally,the skoda service area was packed.

[@n1Erik90]

There are two rings behind the steering wheel which he uses to shift. I once read about it in a magazine, but I can't find it on the interwebs.

[@QuinnBoone]

That car sounds like a mad hornet!!

[@1986dc]

4 years gone. best rally driver ever.

[@rendezvous65]

The current Skoda team in the IRC and the S-WRC, is one of the most passionate teams in rallying today, and it's being run by the Czech's and not VW which would ruin their chances of winning. Skoda hopes to have the Fabia WRC 1.6T out by 2012.

[@francescobortot4929]

Colin era il miglior pilota di rally di sempre!!!

[@AlejjSi]

Well,maybe Paasonen in Finland 2004...but Colin was a class of his own...

[@il-conte]

@MrBowlofFruit there is a countdown, called by the navigator.

[@dongarbolino123]

gre4at video, pity it was cut off before the end of the stage

[@ctgordon21]

"Well done"

[@marcus6291]

How did he catch that? Amazing driver

[@footplusballid2470]

@Cloonie14 it was Nicky Grist

[@hernanvp]

if you put attention there are notes like "6+ breaking and 4 right long" so, it not means that he can accelerate, it only mean the grade of the curve.

[@rendezvous65]

VW might use the current Polo not the previous gen model. The S2000 is built on the previous gen Polo. It also has to be 1.6T though it can use a S2000 chassis. VW is planning on developing one from scratch not use an existing design. Thats what Kris Nissen says. VW would like to have the Monte back in the WRC though. All new S2000 homologations after 2011 must be 1.6T, according to the FIA. Hope this helps.

[@Camtoo]

It isn't only the Skoda that had the rings behind the wheel for shifting. Peugeot had the same thing since the 206 in 2003 I believe, until the factory team pulled out of the WRC in 2005 with the 307cc. Privateer teams continued to use it though I suspect. :)

[@zepter00]

You can’t use not homologated parts in your car which were not hmlogated in your cars specyfication.

[@jeffin05]

well done :)

[@rendezvous65]

The current S2000 cars will still have a 2.0L NA engine. NA is naturally aspirated. You're correct for that statement. Ford is still planning a 1.6T Fiesta for the 2011 season. All WRCars will be 1.6T for 2011. The FIA wanted cheaper WRCars and Ford and Citroen both wanted the 1.6T. That didn't stop M-Sport from making a Fiesta S2000.

[@jasongc8v]

I cried when mc Rae passed and left motor sports

[@ccarradice89]

madness

[@Rhet0rik]

@hungebunge Ah very cool. Thanks.

[@apparfitt5]

GOD

[@Rezisorss]

Mcrae the best!!!!!!

[@205gtist170]

Is this Resolfen?

[@Frank2tek]

how can you drift without using the manual break ?

[@ImoonPeople]

Damn youtube and its old 10 minute limit. ::sigh::

[@edwinwalong]

so who took over from colin>? loeb? ken block?

[@Cloonie14]

Who is the Co. Driver? He sounds like Robert Reid...

[@oDJOldskull]

Great vid. I have a question that bugs me since longer time. How do rally drivers practice? Like let's say they are novice and begin their career.

[@lolkingrd440]

oDJOldskull u participate in local or state level rally events u keep racing there until u make a name for yourself and hopefully big teams find you and take you as a driver

[@altern8ive]

love the change in engine note when colin enables the the ant-lag before launch :-) "He's fast but the car seems to not have the power." due to using a 5-speed box?? maybe sound better with a 6 (not as laboured) doubt it would've been any quicker..

[@surprisingskodaskoda9355]

6

[@rendezvous65]

The new 1.6T cars will have a 33 mm restrictor and the boost will be limited to 2.5bar. The new engine will have a FIA control box to make sure teams aren't cheating. Another reason why they'll be S2000 based is that they don't have to make a special vehicle just for that engine.

[@AlejjSi]

It is his ols system,cause this was i think the first time he drove 5speed WRC car

[@AlejjSi]

Yeah...Skoda is from my country so...they in fact used the nearly same engine as they had in Octavia....too old...but the German duo Schwarz - Metrich(chiefmechanic or what he was doing...)were stedily putting the team dovn..

[@majic452]

Colin makes that little skoda sound like a 6r4

[@glenn1365]

Yea your right, it's based on the Octavia WRC engine and the whole car is barely a step up from an Octavia Evo3

[@deborabaldacci436]

The stage after on ss15 Michael park was killed😢

[@rendezvous65]

Skoda is going to build a new Fabia WRC based on the Fabia S2000 for 2011. It will have a 1.6T engine and mr. Hrabanek said that it can be used in all FIA championships.

[@surprisingskodaskoda9355]

Today? Legend R5

[@karelpipa]

totally agree...:(

[@rendezvous65]

The Fabia S2000 could be a WRCar if Skoda decides to put in a 1.6T. However it's up to them to do it. Maybe VW wont do the WRC. In 2011, no further development of the current S2000 cars will be allowed. So it's not just no new homologations. No new cars period with the 2.0 NA engine. The new WRcars will have an aero and spoiler kit to differentiate them from the S2000 cars. The 2011 engine regulations have already been finalized according to Ford and Malcolm Wilson.

[@benjamintg00]

cant we trade colin for ken block?we need this guy back!!!

[@benjimc1]

is it just me or does colin have an odd pace note system? sometimes i hear 6 and it he takes it like a 4/5. Granted it does so minus but it'd be better to use 5+ or 4+ rather than 6- looking at some of those corners.

[@Shawn-vn6ze]

what kind of steering is he using?

[@zepter00]

standard - stock steering wheel in Skoda Fabia WRC

[@Lymos524254]

Colin didn't die, he is now The Stig from Top Gear.

[@kjetilros]

want more mcrae from wales 2005!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@petrhaisman8645]

Where is it???

[@Spyker8921]

Great Britain

[@205gtist170]

Where does it say Resolfen in the title?knobcheese

[@AlejjSi]

Yeah

[@keithmorris604]

AlejjSi that’s rhondda stage not resolven

[@BalticMotorSport]

Driver from god...

[@masonsparkle]

The worst thing about this is that it was the stage after this one that killed Michael Park.

[@aldrinpalma]

R.I.P :(

[@rendezvous65]

Skoda has been working on their 1.6T fabia S2000, but VW is planning to join the WRC.

[@lolkingrd440]

MTS Route 20 Fanner now vw is leaving :(

[@chriscars3578]

Such a shame that the car let him down would have been great to see we’re he would have finished

[@hernanvp]

he use the system of pace notes basicly known as "Degrees notes" that means that a 6 curve is the fastest and 1 curve is the slowest curve. I use the same in my notes and is very easy to pass from any car to any other, cause you are not speaking about the speed of the car, or the intense of the breaking, you are just telling the grade of the curve. you have many combinatios, like 1+, 4-, 5+ etc.. so you have like this -1 1 +1, -2 2 +2, etc..

[@7urb0m4n]

Škoda is the BEST !!!

[@rendezvous65]

Skoda isn't likely coming back to the WRC but their parent company VW is thinking about joining the WRC. VW wants more manufacturers, Monte Carlo, maybe Safari, and 12 events.

[@fenwa592]

11 years later, and they did pretty well.

[@Rhet0rik]

Is this automatic or can you not see him shift???

[@mrwriter86]

Rhet0rik It’s manual. Think this car had the shifter paddles behind the steering wheel so you can’t see it on this video, unfortunately. I realise you asked this question 8 years ago, hopefully you can now sleep at night 😉

[@Cloonie14]

@truefalse I have a great taste you see :-)

[@geoundici]

2:25 god....that so dangerous...............................

[@OrcinusLaryngologist]

Daniele Pirola it’s ironic the way he died, really..

[@truefalse207]

@Cloonie14 Yay Cloonie I always see your comments on Hardstyle videos & WoW videos now I seen them on this. wtf

[@AlejjSi]

Skoda Fabia WRC005

[@madnezz82]

i think it is changing from green to orange to red

[@SpewChoob]

I bet Nicky Grist always wore dark underwear.

[@zepter00]

I don't think so.. With Colin behind steering wheel he was and is one calm cold blood guy.

[@keithmorris604]

rhondda stage classic

[@hanif12able]

@psalmsninetyone semi automatic i think ..

[@888kabe]

@Cloonie14 nicky grist.
