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

This is one of those moments in Rally where your hair stands on end and you can't look away. You're transfixed, hungry for the driver to go around that next turn or over that jump. And at that point unbelievers realize what Rally is all about. Thank you for the memories, the thrills, and the personality Colin. There will be none like you in my lifetime at least, if not for all time.

[@isaacbenson6663]

beautifully said. Colins name will be remembered for years to come. What a legend

[@SolidGeordieMGS]

Makes sense that only a Finnish driver beats this time. This was spectacular to watch!

[@1mexikaner]

What this man was capable of is truly next level. Ken Block only has moments of what Colin McRae's life was.

[@Wario7793]

I LOVE watching Colin McRae in action! I have the Colin McRae Rally 2005 game and the co-driver sounds EXACTLY the same in the game, although here, he sounds like he's being shaken violently while he's trying to talk LOL

[@AppelCheeks]

Co Driver Sounds The Same Because It Is The Same Co Driver.

[@BwoahGT]

​He's also being shaken violently that's why he sounds like it

[@ToXiCxBlizz]

Colin Mcrae the man with no fears, Maximum attack always R.I.P Colin

One of the best onboards ive ever watched!! Awesome

[@alexbvb1]

who's Loeb !!?? Colin will allways remain the best in my heart.

[@pachu72]

3:30 he slides the focus to 45 degrees to the left before taking the 5right...monster...rip

[@svtuner]

The best part about this vid is that when he hears the call "jump" he gives it some more gas! what a hero, what a loss R.I.P. Colin!

[@elbowout]

You still think nascar drivers have this degree of talent?? Dream on!

[@jackclass5446]

hmm ignorant statement some could just like some rally drivers couldnt do nascar just like some f1 cant do nascar 2 totally different disciplines nascars are heavy and way faster.....

[@kevfromnorwichUKGGKev]

@@jackclass5446 Turn left turn left turn left turn left turn left. lol

[@fkylw]

@@jackclass5446 ​ "can't" and "won't" are being interchanged in your comment. Rally racers CAN and would do Nascar if there was incentive. NASCAR drivers (in this era and the eras that brought it to be popular) don't have the same cultural background that supports good rally racing and lack the generational knowledge transfer that other countries have for WRX. Your comment about F1 is just plain, as you said it, ignorant - F1 racers can literally do anything, they see lines others don't see and they know more technique for racing than NASCAR drivers. The latter having only small technique like mental endurance, mental discipline, physical endurance (specific muscle groups). It's really apples to oranges and the entire argument is stupid to begin with so I digress.

[@fenwa592]

@@fkylw F1 and wrc drivers are probably equal, but F1 drivers would struggle in nascar because the cars are so different. Basically, each driver is best at their respective sport.

[@mahiristewart7237]

@@fenwa592 thank you The last thing we Motorsport fans need to do is divide and discriminate other disciplines of racing

Amazing driver! thanks for the video!! RIP colin

[@commanderkool]

oh my god this driving is amazing. he looks as if he could take the course blindfolded

[@jsaundersmusic]

excellent save at 9.18

[@TUHOKAPTEENI]

+jsaundersmusic Yup, and that flick at 3:30. Respect. Rest in peace Colin.

[@jackcp50]

amazing, 8:30 onwards is just unbelievable. Can hear Nicky is scared out of his mind. Most naturally talented driver the world has ever seen and ever will.

[@jackclass5446]

hmm that a bold statement......

[@benbav3238]

Ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics. Ye cannae change the laws of physics, Jim. Oh. Wait. I just watched Colin McRea driving through a forest.👍

[@AlexisLobos]

Really really fast... Thanks for this great video from a great drivers.

[@korrdavl]

this is perfection, my eyes cant believe how fast this is, and how he nails every single twist; hes going 4 times faster than ive ever been on a dirt road. its a pity people try and do this every weekend near me in their old holden commodores with 3 drunk teenagers for co-drivers.

[@KIMINANO]

wow, great video. McRae forever

[@QNRD]

Thank you :D

[@drpunkerz]

Amazing driving. Really shows you how much Colin was always giving 110%! Unbelievable.

EPIC driving

[@carrer9892]

Legend forever ❤️

[@majo130rally]

Amazing Colin!!!!!

[@qettyz]

Colin was one of the great users of Scandinavian flick. Like you can see from this video.

[@infiniteawareness1]

one of the most talented drivers ever, survives some of the most dramatic crashes ever, then dies in a chopper, tragic.

[@SuperDoctory]

EPIC! that was much faster than this morning... 4 secs faster!!! WTF?? that was still a kickass driving, even 10-15secs slower would have been kickass driving. Colin you showed every1 that left foot could and should be used to brake. RIP

[@AndreyZzz]

I love Rally respect Colin McRae!

[@coasterguy1000]

Grist: Four seconds quicker than this morning ... McRae: Still not quicker than the quickest this morning? Grist: No McRae the next stage: 8:30

Great!!!

amazing

[@TheThomascox]

this is RALLY !!!

[@Wario7793]

Yeah, I imagine it's different with different co-drivers. I learned that system from the Colin McRae game I have and an earlier DOS version.

[@elliewillie715]

As a gamer, hearing Grist give pacenotes is so familiar, soothing even.

[@nameisunavailable82]

stunning

[@nunom3]

colin ruled the wrc...very sad rally's without the too best drivers colin/burns that god be with you guys....R.I.P

[@AlejjSi]

Yes,Colin used the numbers 1-6 which refered to gears,but he still used 6 when driving 5speed Fabia

[@Protato666]

The crazy part is that he makes it look effortless

[@aquadtp]

ballistic,awesome.

[@Turbo1987attack]

9:16 ! ! ! crazy ! ! !

[@RallyCat909]

Mesmerizing.....

[@christos___5581]

He was the Nigel Mansell of wrc :)

[@peticco]

I looove the cool voice of the copilot. Like hes reading a newspaper in his livingroom.

[@Pete68T]

Better to Watch this than the Cars in 2023,Colin was Always Sideways And is Still Missed by Those Who Loved to Watch His Driving 😮‍💨

[@Fatfool159]

You sir are a genius. I wish I could race rally cars :/ Sadly In Southern California its not very popular....

[@daveruda]

We need the raw uncompressed footage of these onboards. Its too good to be anything else

[@christhomas2644]

Mighten have all the records but still the GOAT in my eyes

[@aaradhyamargi5181]

He's so fast! Man that's unbelievable!

[@crazyhippie69]

That's right! The number of the corner it's the suppouse gear that the driver must ride the turn. 1 being the thightest and 6 the most open. I hope it helps!

[@keeturbo]

BOSS!!!!

[@WILEO.]

CRAZY !!!!!!!!!

[@FleXu90]

That is the main thing in order to make proper notes. You see, the more experienced the pilot is and the more "eye for road" he has, the more accurate the notes. It´s as simple as that. But doing it is way more complicated.

[@doric_historic]

Crazy to think for the most part he was in control...

[@youngdeezy1990]

amazing stuff! RIP :/-

[@DarrellGrundy]

The Master! Some of those high-speed corners with spectators on them make me cringe with disbelief that they have that much control.

[@qettyz]

@Silenced140 Hi, no it's not about shifting. "Scandinavian flick" is technique used to when entering the corner. Like you see on the video, braking and then he kind a flips car from left to right hand corner just before the corner.

[@maxr3572]

вот так ездят профи ( память ему !!!

[@leblopp]

Couldn't have said it better !

[@Locateson]

*awesome*

[@XCutorF1]

wow!

[@dmkaliningrad]

best driver best wrc age

[@supersideways]

@Mmpp84 "ruts" - 8:30 - 8:32. Where cars have dug up the road, leaving 2 tyres tracks to follow. Bouncing in and out of the ruts can put the car out of balance, especially at high speed!

[@crazyhippie69]

Exactly! The driver is suppouse to stay in the center of the road and don't make the corner by the inside of the camber, this because there could be some obstacles like rocks or a tree that it's not clearly visible.

[@l3yt3ris]

i think that: this means turn right on a corner of severity 4, go straight for 50 meters, and then there is crest. corners with severity 1 are the open corners, and 5 the tights, but sometimes the scale is reversed.

[@jackclass5446]

man i would crash just from the sun glare.. wrc 7 has this...best stages

[@aquadtp]

1 to 6 is the degree of the corner, 6 being the slightest of bends. plus or minus is throttle on or off. the gear is up to the driver dependant on rpm, grip levels and tyre condition etc.other calls such as distance and line are self explanatory.

[@gof4st3r]

this is a mixture of insanity and art!

[@AndreyZzz]

in rally cars fly! super

[@Wario7793]

WRC Rally has a number system for curves, 1-6. 6 means it's a slight curve, 3 is about a 90-degree turn, and 1 is almost a hairpin curve.

[@Markbabb]

words can elplane dis guy hes just so dam good r.i.p colin

[@numptybaws3]

@GoodEvenings Colin's system was about gears so a 6 crest is 6th gear over a jump or small incline

[@jack86bis]

The Best

[@Centrodemasa]

The WRC needs that kind of stage!!!!!

[@Chouldentfindanygood]

Some/most stages in Finland have an average speed of 120km/h and that is the maximum FiA allowed the cars to go, if faster they take away the stage and so on... I remember they hade an tarmac rally here in Sweden who a stage that the average speed were 137km/h, but that stage got erased fast :P

[@Ackotoctoc]

Oh come on he did very well in NORF last year before the retirement. Was in top 10...

[@heldrath]

The codriver reads off the upcoming corners, distance to them and the severity of them. Look up "Pacenotes" on Google for more information.

[@armchairracer4900]

That car has balls of steel to let Colin McRae inside it!

[@AFNegara]

man this dude is fast!!!!

[@NAZTEC]

for me that kind of shiffting is way better than the ones these days, more spectacular i think
