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.

10 second penalty could also be called the turning point, it was so close between them. If the penalty wasn't there then we could have seen the battle of the ages.

The biggest turming point was at the startm when it was obvious that Loeb's car was 25 kilos lighter than previously.

The banning of the center diff brings the car back to the 20th century.

Tanak casually talking to the Wilsons in order to make the transfer done before Sweden 😂👌

Seeing the bit about tires, I'm just wondering, how do the crews change tires during the day of competition? I know there was at least one day (I think it was actually all days like that, due to the distance of the service park) on this year's Monte Carlo where there was no mid-day service. I know they carry spares, I'm talking about changing old tires for fresh ones. Does the team bring them a new set of tires to a chosen location so they can change them there, with the team then picking up the old tires? Or do they actually have to carry a new set of tires in the rally car?

why do they wear a mask in front of the camera and when it is turned off they take off

The added weight of the hybrid and the crappy Pirelli soft compound tire that could not handle the weight cost Ogier the win. He had a HUGE lead over Loeb who simply lucked out.
