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

Classic example of ”mid-engine” VS. ”front-engine”.... No wonder Audi pulled out completely midway thru 1986.

[@svenschwingel8632]

Everyone knew that Group B would be abandoned by then anyway. And Audi had theirs. They established the Quattro brand for themselves which was worth more to them than any Group B victory.

[@sugarnads]

They withdrew after henri toivenin was killed.

[@pereldh5741]

@@sugarnads No, way before that.

[@pereldh5741]

@@svenschwingel8632 Not when Audi pulled out, that decision came in the fall of '86. Audi pulled out by the sheer superiority of Lancia & Peugeot. Always loosing rallies would destroy the Audi-brand.

[@helgelippert1970]

Audi left after the desaster in Portugal. Before the 86 Season started they decided to cut down their rallye programm. Just two factory cars (Röhrl and Mikkola) and not every rallye was on their programm. It was planed that Audi would came back in Group S in 1987.

[@nothing2see315]

Thought the pug was 480 hp?

[@TheNismo777]

When it retired, it was put to the dyno as it is & made 700+, so official numbers could been 480.

[@Olvir_Richardsson]

WTF1?

Groupie because I'm a poser and that's not a prelude but I'll hemm you up in a super B family
