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

Thanks.

@Nikkeloodeon Thank you very much, and greatly appreciated, sir. And thanks to all who have replied. Now I know. :) Cheers. :)

[@gola112]

beautiful

[@Debesukaleejs]

I once saw interview i think with Markus Gronholm and he said to get driving license in Finland it takes two years or so and they take teaching driving to a next lvl and their roads need id, so there might be explanation why finish people dominate the auto sport.

[@Randolph_]

@DisposableWarrior Thank you! :)

[@Nikkeloodeon]

@N6600 -nen is just a very common ending in our last names, our most common names for example are Virtanen and Korhonen. It doesn't really mean anything but it's just made for the ending, like Virta is (if you translate it) a water stream but the -nen ending makes it a name (even thou Virta is a last name too).

[@Randolph_]

@armandozapata Its ok. I know I may have missed a lot. Those were just the drivers that first came into my mind. Thanks.

[@Randolph_]

@N6600 And to those people whom I MAY HAVE offended, my apologies. I was just asking a question. No need to elevate this one up to a debate or something.

[@MrGRANDEJOHN]

the only thing without any disrespect bothering me its the camera not covering his hand at handbrake point i would like that!

[@DisposableWarrior]

@N6600 there is a saying in the world of motorsport: "if you want to win, hire a Fin".

[@Randolph_]

@crazybiscut Understood. Thanks. :)

[@areskzc]

Rave Camera at 2:34

[@areskzc]

@N6600 Dunno, I'm not Fin, but looks like the suffix -Son in american surnames. (jefferson, simpson, andersons etc.)

[@RoyHess666]

What was the average speed on this tour? That looks quite speedy in my view.

[@armandozapata]

@N6600 i'm sorry but you missed gronholm, champion twice 2000 & 2002 :), there's also Latvala who, as I see, is the one who can beat Loeb but still needs to push more but Ford won´t give him a good car in order for Mikko to win, I dunno what do you think?

[@Randolph_]

Not to sound racist here, but I'm just curious. Tomi Makkiinen, Kimi Raikkonen, Mika Hakkinen, and Mikko Hirvonen here, are all Fins, right? Does every last name that sounds like theirs, or ends in "onen" distinct to Finland people?

[@welsh365]

good rally :)

[@Starfishrider]

@cuciuc2008 go to WRC official and add your request to channel comments.

[@Nikkeloodeon]

@N6600 No prob. =)

[@armandozapata]

@Debesukaleejs I guess Kalle Rovanpera won't need that! Have you seen that boy driving a rally car?? :O That's my definition of why finns drive so well.

[@Nikko300bhp]

@N6600 Ari Vatanen, his name ends in "anen" instead of "onen", I guess his surname had mutated ;p

[@cuciuc2008]

where can i ask wrc onboards?

[@speedaholic21]

Jarmo is struggling to keep up with such precise notes!

[@musclealabama]
