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

When Sainz's co-driver smashed that rear window, I can feel it. All he had to do was nursing the car to the finish but then the Corolla chose to die literally right before the finish line.This reminds me of the 2016 Le Mans race which a leading Toyota prototype gave in one lap before winning the race, and handed it to Porsche, after all that torturing in 24 hours.

@johnpatricklim4509 Год назад

That is the reason why when tommi makkinen took over as team principal of the new toyota rally team, he made sure these thing will not happen....

@wellend89 Год назад

Ironically, him taking it very easy after Mäkinen's retirement was most likely the cause of the engine failiure. What you see and hear on Carlos' onboards post-Mäkinen crash is him shifting up early, using lower RPM's than normal, wanting to put less strain on the engine. Unfortunately this created unexpected stresses in the powerplant, most likely fuel and boost mapping related - with a turbocharged (as opposed to naturally aspirated) unit, making a lot of boost lower down in the RPM range actually punishes the engine more, since the components spend longer periods of time under heavy stress; especially the pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft. TMG most likely hadn't thoroughly tested these conditions (wide open throttle but lower than normal RPM for long periods of time), nor had this failiure mode happened during previous rallies since no-one had driven the car in that manner for an extended period. Result - something in the rotating assembly deforms over time and finally gives way, then a connecting rod says hello through the side of the engine block.

"Everybody said, that Tommi was lucky." Actually Sainz was lucky, since Tommi hit the road block and ONLY that incident GAVE Sainz the possibility to have the Championship. Then he lost it by one missfortunate breakdown. Tommi lost his win already once with only because of tough luck. Now Carlos did lost it too. It just happened to happen in the same GP. I'm sorry for Carlos, but such is life.

@drybones7475 4 года назад

I think Tommi lost at least a win because of a mechanical failure earlier in that season.

@stephennoble2647 3 года назад

@MusicManMaurice He hit the blocks because there was oil on the road in that corner. The marshals knew about the oil and just put some sand on it and gave Tommi no warning before the corner. They warned every other car through after Tommi crashed. They could have coned the oil off, warned him, but they did nothing. Carlos took the piss out of Tommi and laughed at his misfortune, saying he was only driving at 20% now Tommi had crashed, but Tommi had the last laugh in the end and took the Championship without even finishing the rally..

all the way from the 70s to the mid 2000s it was such an amazing sport. the loeb-citroen dominance and all the other teams quitting kinda slowly drained the excitement out of it. cant really blame them its not their fault they did so great. but rallying has been on the rise again for last 5 or so years now and its in a pretty good state again in my opinion. shame VW had to drop out though, but still 4 teams is pretty good and the cars are definitely so much better than they were 7-10 years ago and theres been some super exciting battles over the past few years ive followed it again.

@metalbladepegasus7854 5 лет назад

I remember watching this on Eurosport back then. Makinen loosing the wheel made me gasp as I was spectating the historical "3 times in a row" championship title fade away from Tommi, not knowing when and if such opportunity happens again for anybody. Then Sainz stopping on the stage in flames and smoke when the finish line was literally in his sight, his third title burning to ashes in Corolla's engine compartment.

I do miss those days of rallying. I'm happy that Elfyn is doing well this year so far though, I remember his Dad doing the RAC when he was still a part time school bus driver, I bet he's a proud Dad now ;-D

@potatogirlcultist19 9 месяцев назад

These days, winning three titles in a row isn't even historic anymore, it's expected. If you look at F1, I remember Vettel winning his 3rd title in a row and how massive it was (remember, Lauda, Senna, Hakkinen, Alonso had all come very very close to doing it). Now Hamilton won three and now Verstappen has won three in a row and nobody cares. Same with WRC, Makkinen's three in a row was absolutely huge, since he had challengers from Kankunnen, Sainz and McRae. Sainz himself came close in 1991, but was stopped by Kankunnen, Kankkunen came close in 1992 but was stopped by Sainz. Gronholm could have done it if he hadn't had a shocking 2001 season. Then Loeb did easily (Gronholm couldn't even beat the broken shouldered Loeb) Ogier did it easily, and now it seems Rovanpera will exonarably win his thrid title in a row next year, since Ogier's not doing a full time course and Tanak joining Hyundai will cause infighting with Neuville and M-Sport don't have the drivers or the reliability to win a title. And then he will probably go on to win 10 titles in a row or something ridiculous like that because there is *zero* competition these days.

@ProSpeedsteR787 8 лет назад

Poor Sainz, he had many cruel endings when he was tantalizingly close to winning the championship. '91, '94, '95, '98 and '03 were all possible for him to win, only to be stopped by just bad luck, mostly from mechanical failures. His incredible consistency of speed from '89-'04 is unmatched, taking 26 rallies over a 14 year span, a record that will be hard to match, if it will ever be matched. Moving on from WRC he won Dakar and developed the now dominant Polo R WRC. That is why I rank him as one of the greatest, if not the greatest drivers to take the wheel of a ANY rally car.

@Peqqy 8 лет назад

+ProSpeedsteR787 Wouldn't say outmatched because on the 14 year span both Mäkinen and Kankkunen won 4 titles and Carlos won two. Carlos indeed had bad luck but so did Mäkinen on that 1998 year. I doubt that carlos would have won that rally if Mäkinen wouldn't have been the first car on the road or missing the oil. And to be fair Mäkinen deserved to win his championship at 1998 if you compare the victories on that year Mäkinen had 5 against Sainz's 2.

@ProSpeedsteR787 8 лет назад

+Peqqy consistency is key.. it's very lucky to have won with 5 wins and 6 DNFs in 13 rallies. part of racing is staying on the road too :) not taking away from makinen though.

@Peqqy 8 лет назад

ProSpeedsteR787 You have to remember though that in Kenya his engine broke down when he was like in 3 minute lead. Mäkinen was the fastest driver at 1998 and Carlos was most consistent. Both are legends though :)

@theant9821 7 лет назад

to finish first, first you must finish, in my opinion kankunen was the best but makkinen was also 4 times world champion but to do it with 3 different manufacturers in two completely different eras is a lot more impressive to me. carlos was also very good but I'm unconvinced that he was equal to kankunen. at the end of the day though the Toyota team weren't good enough enough over the season and the mitsubishi team were. like at the last le mans, porsche weren't lucky, the Toyota wasn't up to the job, only just but still not good enough.

@perussaataja 6 лет назад

Yes, if we compare the overall careers, it is obvious that Sainz stayed more competitive than Mäkinen in his last years: Tommi was basically number two driver to Solberg at Subaru although he went there as a number one. In 2002 and 2003 Tommi was not even close to the top of championship whereas Sainz got third place in both years and in 2003 he was close to winning the title again (robbed by bad luck in Catalonia and Wales). And in 2004 he beat Grönholm in a fair fight in Argentina to score his last win at the age of 42. Mäkinen was not even close of doing that (one attempt ended in a big crash in Argentina 2002). Carlos was definitely most versatile driver of his generation, and I too rank him as the best.

@Lassi Kinnunen Lasse Lampi ei ollut ainut lampi rallin parissa, Tony Pond was actually "Lampi" too.

That has to be the most iconic rally colors in history. White/red. EDIT: Please add the Toyota Corolla in Dirt rally 2.0

@benardsimiyu6883 8 лет назад

it reminds me of the safari rally in Kenya.

Mind blown. A Toyota Corolla being outlasted by a Ford was an unexpected twist that M. Night Shyamalan would've been proud of.

This Tommi Lancer was the best car ever.

"Trata de arrancarlo, Carlos, TRATA DE ARRANCARLO". There are hardly any epic rivalries anymore in motorsports, it's pretty fucking sad.

@motorsportsmaniac1724 7 лет назад

Wow! , what a drama, really it was golden era of WRC, what an impressive battle, so epic, Makinen deserved it, the tune is amazing, anyone know the name of the tune please, Thanks indeed

Hienoa että MIES vastas puhelimeen kesken haastattelun ;)

@jonmccormick8683 5 лет назад

The Evo was large and slow (except with Tommi in snow), but super-durable and could run on only 3 tires it seems. The last of the full-size Rally cars. = Most WRC cars now are minis. In the desert and harsh uneven, wet, snowy, ice conditions the Evo can still win,, but the smaller cars are faster when there is traction.

It could have been even worse. Sainz could have won the rally but had his engine expire on the road section to final time control. He could have lost the title that way

@drybones7475 4 года назад

Why would have Sainz lost? I thought that crossing the finish line guaranteed the result.

@reptongeek 4 года назад

He has to sign in at final time control. (A rally fan confirmed this was true) I believe you have to do it within a certain time limit

@eamonnmckeown6770 4 года назад

I think in rallying you have to complete the road section back to parc ferme so whilst only a few hundred yards or meters whichever it was from the finish of the stage he'd had to make it much further than that. My dad witnessed a Ford being 'pushed' by a service vehicle one time on the Ulster during a road section. Probably not in the rule book and most certainly not legal. I also don't consider this the golden age of rallying. Very far from it. The start of slick marketing? Sure.

@framegrace1 4 года назад

On public road sections, you just have to be in time at the start of the special stage following normal traffic rules. That's all. Pulling, pushing, take shortcuts, repair the vehicle that's all OK as long as you are on the start line of the special stage on time.

@kazukikashiwazaki4823 6 лет назад

No, Makinen wasn't 100% lucky: he really fought very hard for his third title, so let's say Sainz' incident wasn't but a "downright miracle". It's like if they somewhat finished the rally, and Makinen still won it, if we put this perspective, because Makinen was better than Sainz anyway.

@Menolifee 6 лет назад

he wasnt "lucky" at all. he was just as unlucky as sainz, they both retired and for neither of them it was a driver error. mäkinen just happened to be leading in points so he absolutely deservedly took the title. it couldve been sainz that crashed in the oil and mäkinen cruised to victory. that would've been "luck"
