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

More onboards!!!! Full stages!!!

[@laucerizola801]

For things like this I love the WRC. 🕶☄☄🏁🏁🔝

[@bpford]

that car has in the medium ratio gearbox that's why it didn't go over 200 kph

[@arttusaikkonen9370]

onboard videos please!

[@inakivillar5702]

What super special is?

[@huskysiberieblanc]

petite pointe tranquille

[@ChevroletastragtcOPC]

Call me crazy but 190kph, I understand the road is narrow and everything but is not mindblowing by any mean. Thanks god 2017 will see the arrival of the new cars.

[@heytoast7129]

Dunno. For me, doing over 100mph/160kph in the various conditions and surfaces they face is pretty damn impressive. Especially cutting at speed, letting half the car go off the road intentionally has to take some brass ones. And then the heavy braking right after, tough to keep control. I'm sure this wasn't the only point on that stage or the only stage he (or anyone else) reached those speeds. So, to drive that fast km after km for 300-400km consistently is quite impressive. Another part of it is even if they spend days or weeks prior to the event going over previous onboards to familiarize/refresh themselves with the stages, they still won't be able to memorize every meter of every stage. Relying on pacenotes to give you the [latest] info/details of each stretch of road or corner to attain those speeds takes a lot of courage. Not to mention having to drive to/from each stage, where some rallies can require up to an extra 1000km of driving. Last thing I want to do after taking a 30min+ roadtrip is drive for another 10-20min or longer, only this time trying to go as fast as I can. How those guys can mentally turn it "off and on" so they have their adrenaline and concentration going for a stage is crazy. So while flatout speed might not be up there with other motorsports, I think given all the variables there are for any given stage/rally. Which for me, makes it the most spectacular motorsport there is.

[@OussamaErraji]

190kph on a countryside road is not mindblowing by any mean? You must be trolling. Let me ask: how fast can you drive in a videogame, lets say in dirt rally vs master/elite AI times? Yours looks like the average motorsport spectator opinion, having no clue whatsoever about what the man behind the wheel do really experience.

[@pxKappa]

that's like 5kph more than an r5 car that costs a fraction of these...i was surprised too lool

[@BlueSkyCrystals]

It's only because of how the cars are geared. They are not going to set a car up to have a high top speed when there are so many corners in a rally stage. Acceleration is much more important.

[@sebo8872]

The shorter the gears, the better the acceleration. Obviously the engineers chose this limit because it would pay off.

[@DiegoRuiz1991]

That was like 1300m of straight

[@AddictivePenguin]

I am kinda tired of Ogier... I mean, he is a great driver and all but his driving style doesn't appeal to me. He just casually runs stages and ends up winning without breaking a sweat.

Addictive Penguin This was the case with Loeb, too. Their driving is so precise, so clean, that many people don't find it entertaining. I specially loved comparing Loeb's onboard videos to other drivers', to see, how many small corrections they make when he is just doing a big smooth curve.

[@AddictivePenguin]

György Mohl We could might as well talk about French domination in the WRC :P Loeb's first championship win was in 2008(?) so this marks the 8th consecutive season win by a frenchy xD

[@heytoast7129]

Loeb's first championship came in 2004. His first season was 2002, and he lost the championship in 2003 by 1 point to Solberg.

[@GuillaumeWRC5]

It started even before. Loeb's first WRC title was back in 2004 which means it's been 13 years of French domination :)

Addictive Penguin Nope, his first WRC win was in 2004, so it's 13 years in a row :D I don't remember exactly, but Ogier said after his first overall win: it seems, it has to be a Frenchman, who is called Sébastien :D
