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

[@vivekjohn5]

gold rims,big spoiler,bonnet scoop,blue and yellow paint, boxer engine, classic look are the trademark of Subaru,

[@PandyTimBR]

i wish that mitsubishi and subaru return to wrc

[@jamesyelton11]

you read my mind, and every other rally fans mind

[@kris8263]

No way for subaru to do it, as it would mean changing their iconic engine. Mitsubishi isn't that hard to imagine though. EDIT: I can't type.

[@zuhardi]

they need to create a 1.6 boxer engine due to new wrc reg

[@kris8263]

zuhardi Yeah. I think they should, as downsizing is where the industry is going. They do have a 3 liter version of that engine already, so maybe there is a small chance. But then there is a chasis problem. They don't have a small hatch. The BRZ is the smallest chasis they sell so it could end up weighing more then other cars and not be as nimble. Too much hustle for Subaru IMHO. Mitsubishi on the other hand has a Mirage R5 rally car developed, so they would require only minor tweaks.

[@invertedv12powerhouse77]

zuhardi 1.6L flat? the engine is already pretty wide by default.... dont think they will be letting go of their flats anytime soon

[@theeeMitchi]

I am 21 and yes, whenever I think of a rally car - it's this. Love it to bits.

[@blurkies1]

22 here and the same. This car is what defines rally for me.

[@Bristecom]

When I was a child in the 90's, the blue and gold starred Subaru was the only rally car I knew of, even though I ended up being more of a Mitsubishi fan. However, I'm planning on getting a Subaru soon since Mitsubishi is basically falling off the map. You can't help but to respect the company for sticking with the boxer engine. Too bad the FIA has changed the rules of rallying so much that they don't compete anymore in the top class.

[@Hymer300]

This was from 2008 so those who where 21 are much older now

[@darth_autie_117]

same here. either Subaru Impreza or Audi quattro

[@Themens2009]

I miss Subaru in the WRC, come back please :(

[@fcukrealmadrid]

Subaru officially joined the Toyota group 4 months ago

[@zim-chan]

can't accept little hatchback subaru...

[@AdrianFerrari]

One of the best cars ever in rally!

[@PeterM0911]

A car which can cope with the punishment gave by Colin McRae is obviously a masterpiece of engineering.

[@joellistic9454]

But it didn't - the reliability was shithouse

[@PeterM0911]

When?

[@joellistic9454]

+Peter M pretty sure 1998 was a lost year for McRae due to reliability of his Subaru

[@PeterM0911]

Joel Allison Possible

[@VisceralDisgust]

so true

[@thetreblerebel]

That first gen impreza rally car was just insane, putting on a show to rival any Group B rally car of old...

[@tomhaapala3316]

Nope the Lancia delta intergrale is the most succesful rally car ever..7 wrc championships in a row

[@longtailgt]

For someone who grew up in the very late 90s/ early 2000s watching WRC, the Impreza was one of my all time favourite cars! I remember being so consumed by it, I even tried to draw it many times. I want one so badly.

[@R36vw]

Until you get one. You’ll wish you’d never set eyes on them. 😂😂

[@danielmwai412]

About time!! Subaru all the way all day!

[@colorderosalavidaes4765]

kkjbvxx😣😕😕

[@yasubon8782]

come back SUBARU!!♨

[@traceymailler7999]

I wish subaru world rally team never stopped because my dad loved the team back from 1994 to 2008

[@Turbo.RF4]

Mitsubishi and Subaru. The greatest rally rivalry of all time.

[@jiggmin1234]

Always loved Subarus! They are the legendary cars of rally and the WRC hsitory! :D Subaru all the way!

[@carwhiz90]

Standard AWD, the iconic Flat 4/boxer engine, overall sexy 4 and 2 door body makes this Subaru legend the best car to drive

[@Mx64MaxyImpress]

This car was the crush for me to Motorsport One made me love rally, and make "Impreza" My Dream Car with iconic Blue Color with Yellow spoke wheels with spoiler and 4wd iconic My first ever game was Colin McRae Rally 2.0 to made me like Colin McRae as well Subaru Impreza Such an "Impressive" Car

[@tomchamberlain4329]

90s Imprezas and the 90s Celicas will always be my favourites

[@Doerby]

And thats exactly why i own and drive an subaru impreza wrx sti 2006 with proud and pleasure ❤ its just "the car" ,the sound, the subaru rally feeling.

[@galarianmike283]

Subaru please come back...

[@Andersng1]

Well it won't unless the FIA changes it's stupid engine regulations

[@redstriker09]

They did do a WRC race last year in Group N in Wales. They dominated the class completely and made Top 20 overall, right up there with the big guys with very little modifications on the STI.

[@ryanfang5239]

Lol big surprise

[@SonicCB]

Yep, all of this is why I own a WRX. It's also why I constantly look for a 2.5 RS to convert into an RSTi, only to realize I have no money left because I bought a WRX.

[@EJL2004]

lol same story here! XD Man...Could you imagine owning a 22b? 8D if only there where more of those beauties, but alas, 2011 hatchback for me.

[@DerRusher]

i feel you :D got a 2016 model, i just love it

[@hectorforner]

[@Kletterhaus]

i love this car

[@Kletterhaus]

i played so much colin mc rae rally 2005

[@vaggelisgian]

+Mountainpixels me too it was an amazing game and my car of choice was of course the impreza.. and sometimes the evo and the focus rs.. but mostly the impreza

[@Kletterhaus]

+vaggos giannopoulos i really liked the ford focus

[@vaggelisgian]

+Mountainpixels it was all around pretty good balanced and it felt really good instead of the xsara which felt very light and that made it hard to drive

[@clem126]

Am I the only one to notice that in the video game (4:41), they're actually using an Evo ? :D

[@davidcasillas7784]

yeah, you are the only one

[@PandyTimBR]

[@ElMosqito]

[@D3fenderfox]

[@sampy7085]

[@maximetoyug8194]

The WRC is missing Subaru, the firm that makes his reputation with rally !

[@abdzire_94]

1995 Colin McRae, 2001 Richard Burns and 2003 Petter Solberg are the 3 successful drivers won the championship in Subaru Impreza team

[@chrisprud7688]

Subaru Impreza the ultimate rally car

[@daveruda]

[@carwhiz90]

My all time favorite Impreza WRC was the 1999 model year

[@Bebopin-69]

Im driving my 4th sti over a 15yrs span. Long live petrol cars.

[@felicianozamora242]

[@h-rttv7374]

[@Demolishor17]

[@chrisprud7688]

Amazing car my favourite ever

[@bestiphone7767]

0:50 me and the boys fishing

[@Sorenle72]

Indeed, first car I think of when I hear rallying... and I so want one! Am driving an Impreza hatchback 2013 today....but that's nowhere near an WRX STi...

[@brandondavis4766]

That tree dodge tho

[@hashrulsubzero]

[@johnirvinsantos7026]

[@franc1087]

the Best wrc's Cars ever

[@truthray2885]

Should be called a "people thresher." Those crowds on the road shoulder - it's bonkers.

[@koyataso0416]

めっちゃ最高！

[@airhead73]

2022, still a dumb question. It is the best

[@Arkytera]

Yes!

[@hashrulsubzero]

3:14 - 3:55 The only reason why many rally fans would buy a road going version of a rally car especially Group A rally cars.

[@yogaexe]

it was the reason why WRC was interesting to look at. Unlike todays where all car looks the same

[@footplusballid2470]

didn't all sedans looks same in 1990s?

[@corniel657]

SUBARU SUBARU SUBARU!

[@marcelovegaval5351]

Hermoso

[@zim-chan]

best of the best

[@sauberboisaubarboi5652]

How to WRC/McRae: 1 get a Subaru Impreza 2 go to wrc 3 level up to WRX level 4 DRIVE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

[@DanSlotea]

5 When in doubt, flat out!

[@appleblin3397]

Imagine if all rally cars didn't look the same in the modern age. Subaru and Mitsubishi should come back!

[@KamilMB]

For me the problem of todays WRC TV is lack of good background music like in theese old films! Impreza is THE RALLY CAR of the mid/lat '90 early XXI cet. Impreza is the reason why I drive a Forester (which is a higher suspended Impreza :D). For me Impreza replaced a legend of late '80 early '90 - Lancia Delta, but I also love the Toyota Celica ST185 form mid '90. Despite Subaru is no longer in WRC fans still love the Impreza most of all (more than the Mitsubishi EVO).

[@Nitropain]

Subaru... still racing in rally. ARA Rally! (For the Americans reading this!)

[@tucruiz820]

best rally car ever

[@dante5469]

Subaru is legend

[@againstall6796]

For me, no doubt.

[@ugo.g477]

WE WANT A NEW

and not a single frame of S14 WRC. killed the legend.

[@DanSlotea]

Hardly iconic

[@2.5boxerpowered57]

The best EVER

[@MultiAlex1530]

I watched the day subaru announced the end of the sti at least for the foreseeable future and amazed how far they have fallen

[@jamesyelton11]

getting my first one...sploosh

[@centriustupou9482]

Honest to who he's Australian? The man.

[@MCH-23.Quintus]

Peugeot 205 T16 Evo 2 and Citroën Xsara WRC>>>>

[@LeonYEONG]

The 1st person who brought the Subaru brand into the rally community not championship was New Zealander Possum Bourne.

[@Dioptra333]

22b is my favourite Impreza

[@carwhiz90]

And they sold out from the first day they were released to the public

[@fu4ien]

damn 555 thumb ups, and leave it there please

[@carwhiz90]

Most iconic Impreza paint scheme ever

[@unitedfan9646]

Credit to the Japanese these cars are awesome

[@Dan-co1br]

[@ДерзкийБанан]

С субариста по лайку)

[@timefun8838]

[@horatiocaine4464]
