WRC is the FIA World Rally Championship, a tough motorsport using rally cars on real roads around the world. Watch the best rally drivers flat out on gravel and asphalt roads with mud, rain, dust, ice and heat. Power slides, drifts, big jumps, watersplashes, handbrake turns, hairpin bends, lucky escapes, big moments or a massive crash. Rally requires maximum attack and careful tactics to become world rally champion.
Rally drivers take turns to complete closed road "special stages" as quickly as possible, setting off a few minutes apart. A co-driver reads pace notes to describe the hazards ahead. The same rally car is used 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. WRC is administered by the FIA Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile FIA, motorsport's world governing body.
Some of the world's greatest drivers have won the FIA World Rally Championship for Drivers : Colin McRae, Carlos Sainz, Walter Röhrl, Stig Blomqvist, Petter Solberg, Ott Tänak. Champions from Finland are Juha Kankkunen, Tommi Mäkinen, Ari Vatanen, Marcus Grönholm and Hannu Mikkola. French rally drivers have dominated 8 times with Sébastien Ogier, and 9 times with Sébastien Loeb. Famous motorsport drivers have attempted WRC like Robert Kubica and Kimi Räikkönen from F1 and Ken Block from Rallycross.
Car companies compete for the prestigious FIA World Rally Championship for Manufacturers. 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. Citroen and Volkswagen became champions in the 2000s along with M-Sport team using the Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta. Toyota returned to the WRC in 2017 with the Toyota Yaris WRC, winning in 2018 and 2021. Hyundai won in 2019 and 2020 with the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC.

[@Porkhammer]

They could at least have put Thierry's car in tarmac spec, yikes. :D

[@rb76768]

Same thought

[@zwjna]

It wouldn't have felt _much_ different than the circuit car, then. With the gravel setup, Norbert had a really different experience to what he's used.

[@AsherSkylark]

Not gonna lie, its kinda weird to see a rally car on a race circuit. I'm used to watching them sliding on gravel with trees on both sides of the road. Oh yeah, don't forget the ballsy spectators as well.

[@Ethanthebold]

Truly incredible

[@BENDROWNED33]

Rally cars on a normal circuit look kinda cursed

[@YuriBruschi]

Why gravel set-up on WRC? 😱

[@RobGcraft]

WRC drivers (and codrivers) are expected to tackle all road conditions, including gravel

[@YuriBruschi]

@@RobGcraft Quello che mi stupisce è il fatto che usino un set-up di molle e ammortizzatori da terra in un autodromo, ci sono configurazioni da asfalto come per il Rally di Germania il Corsica ecc.

[@Joopyter724]

@@RobGcraft no i think they mean why is the car in the lifted gravel setup and not in a lowered road setup

[@recarsion]

@@RobGcraft yeah but why not use an asphalt setup for an asphalt track though

[@michelgerard4939]

Living in Belgium, I've recognised Zolder circuit, such a shame no one was aware of the event apparently well prepare, looking at the TN11 sponsors on the walls !) We could have attended it ;o(

[@recarsion]

If only they brought the WTCR car instead, would have been much cooler.

[@ThePaltsi]

Give us Hydrogen cars, instead of Remote Control Electric cars.

[@tamakaze712]

Bruh you ask to the most useless motoring club, ask Isis to direct youf demand to Toyota. I

[@RainbowSheep_was_taken]

@@tamakaze712 I think he meant hydrogen "atleast"

[@armadildo5465]

Electric cars is what I want

[@tamakaze712]

@@armadildo5465 who ask

[@satolatifi24]

says the guy that hasnt even seen an ev irl

[@Eero_V]

What an annoying whining! Terrible noise...

[@Idfk16_]

WTCR better than ETCR although still a dead series

[@subscribers151]

Cool

[@rjordan70]

I love i20

[@RallyeRacin9]

This video proves to me that e-cars in racing are just Bulls__t. They put the rallye car on gravel spec so it's not to embarrassing for the electric race car. Neuville looked not impressed at all.

[@rzero21]

ughhh... why not tarmac setup?

[@RainbowSheep_was_taken]

electric is boring :( Imma drink petrol to get this off my mind

[@911HRW]

87 or 91?

[@RainbowSheep_was_taken]

@@911HRW Anything, I usually get whatever is the strongest. Sometimes diesel if I'm in the mood ya know.

[@911HRW]

@@RainbowSheep_was_taken 🤣🤣

[@msvd3803]

Give him a WTCR car too

[@Da_Osta]

They already did that in 2019. They put him in the TCR Germany series at the round at the Nürburgring as a guest starter. Funny thing is that he walked over everyone there...

[@chiisanamijinko]

Is Toyota able to do such kind of this? Hyundai is now over and over flashy Morizo.

[@davepfeifer8558]

But we know this car is much slower than Toyota

[@MrSpoonFed]

Factt

[@fernandashahalrizqy4119]

Reliability tho

[@racingjunkie27]

electric vehicles can go to hell

[@GinoFoto]

ETCR just isn't ready yet, as those events are more of a show, than anything else, I know that E- is certainly a future of both rallying and circuit driving, but the technology needs to be farther advance, advance a lot.

[@falcon8931]

Electric cars are annoying

[@vagabond1776]

Hybrid tech doesn’t make sense in racing…better off going full EV or smaller motor…Toyota and Koenigsegg have proven that 3cyl motors can be AWESOME.

[@KepleroGT]

EVs weigh 400-500kg more, with the same power they'll never be able to beat petrol cars. Ridiculous that they put the gravel setup on the WRC to not ridicule the electric car

[@kempboase8497]

I other words boring.
