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

That onboard internal camera is perfect! It lets you see exactly what Mikko is doing and the road! Great view to see the action from! Absoutely loving it!

[@GuillaumeWRC5]

I think this onboard is one of the best of the year ! That's... so fast ! Thank you wrc for this GREAT onboard !

[@Mati03x]

in-car camera its beutiful , and Mikko = Master

[@BlueSkyCrystals]

Love the camera in the car. That's the perfect place to put it.

[@SSsacas]

Very nice onboard! It has wide, fast flowing roads, and some narrow, more technical parts. The view of the steering wheel and the gear shifter is also nice! :)

[@barsorrro]

Finally, a superb positioning of the inside cockpit camera.

[@CharbelKeyrouz]

Thanks @juhaket @heases @JaniJanification. Mikko is amazing and he should have been champion a long time ago if it weren't for Loeb. I think both he and Loeb are legends.

[@Ramatganski]

Yes, more of the in-car camera please !

[@qbfrost]

Its big difference considering it with 2.0 litre engines. Check 2010 onboard from Finland and compare it with this... Anyway its great onboard. Waiting for more !

[@gola112]

MIKKO IS THE BEST!!!!! Just need more luck

[@aronnepiperno]

I miss the front camera of hirvonen, the one used on 2007-2008 on board videos.

[@EMRallymedia]

Huhhuh.. Awesome

[@CharbelKeyrouz]

@2:39 AMAZING Car control.

[@KwasiMounsou]

@raveracer02 Ford, actually, has very few officially-sponsored teams. The two main series where they have a sponsored team and car are NASCAR and WRC, with some minor sponsorships in the NHRA and Grand Am. All other Ford-based racing cars are sponsored by individual teams that just happened to want a Ford car, like the Matech-sponsored Ford GT GT1 in Le Mans. I will agree that this run was beautiful. Gotta love Finland and Hirvonen.

[@tfk8623]

awsome race

[@truefalse207]

KIIRA KIIRA

[@BlueSkyCrystals]

@deggis4 I see what you're saying, but I can see the road perfectly fine. The camera is at about driver-eye level and it looks to be pretty close to him so it's almost like seeing what Hirvonen sees, and it shows his wheel inputs very nicely which is why I think it's perfect, but to each his own.

[@deggis4]

@UltimateWheelman If my comment was confusing - I like this view and I think it should be used always (but also could be positioned little bit higher). I was just saying why I think this view is not used more often: the average viewer (not us!) probably just wants to see the road and thus the hood/A-pilar cameras are the norm which is a shame. Even this video consists mostly of the hood cam...

[@deggis4]

@UltimateWheelman If it was just a bit higher, so you could see the road better. I know the cameras can't be placed just anywhere inside the car, but clearly this is the most interesting view and I just don't get it is not used more often (or by default). I guess the production team caters also for the average tv viewer who I think just wants to see the road.

[@youreallthesame]

this makes me want to travel to finland. what are those red miniature huts lining the road?

[@HassanIbrahimRally57]

Anti cut devices, they are used to prevent drivers from cutting or 'clipping' corners. You'll see them more in Tarmac rallies as they are there to try and prevent drivers from cutting or clipping, which brings mud and other loose stuff onto the road.

[@BuenoSeraPerkele]

@youreallthesame Red-white you means? Thats the line between road where rallycars drive and where spectators sit/stand.. Same thing in orange colour is in someone field(Like in place at Surkee where someone spectators sleeps.. And sorry my bad english, i hope you understand all what you needs :)

[@timmcever5543]

So gnarly

[@CharbelKeyrouz]

The best way to view a stage is onboard with Mikko. Kakssata vasem kuus. I know this much in Finnish BTW what Homiuo means?

[@villesorsamaki9913]

Huomio! = Attention!

[@Kovalos]

Its incredible to see what Mikko can do without pressure. He had nothing to loose here and he did amazing. But this is the main difference between Loeb and the rest of the bunch, pressure makes Loeb faster .

[@manticorebp]

@ck12345678910111213 The biggest rival for Mikko in 2009 was Jari Matti.... :-( if only he hasn´t crashed in Poland Mikko would be champion right now...

[@JonathanCoboVivas]

el puto amo...

[@WisdomeSage1989]

@gola112 and Loeb has it all!

[@matovmartin]

Mikko?! you´re mad :-/

[@WisdomeSage1989]

@SangueVerde7 lol

[@bob30995]

why can he only do that in finland

[@037racing]

It seems that there's too much info in the notes. Co driver has to speed up reading quite a lot... Sounds silly.

[@freakonaleash2225]

LoL ur serious?Im pretty sure that Co-driver knows what he's doing better than ya 😎

[@raveracer02]

awesome run.....but screw ford and them tryin to monopolize racing :/
