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.

Hearing Phil Mills voice both onboard and in Dirt Rally 2 is iconic

Crash or not.
Solberg was one of the best.
Always flat out!

I remembered this moment, was driving home from work and listening to WRC Radio, hearing Petter crashed, made my heart sank as he had a chance to win the rally especially with the other drivers making mistakes later in the stage as well. Still 2010 was an incredible year for him to finish 3rd in the championship with his own private team, not a common thing for WRC in the modern day.

@Jesus45U i meant the high pitch whine sound that comes through the audio, and its the WRC they don't use those sorts of cameras, they usually have cameras connected up to a "box" which records the video/audio to a SSD(Solid State Drive) and because they usually tie it into the cars 12v you get that whining sound which is produced by the engine (I'd know it happens in my car).

[ostebonden]

lovely to see inboard like this you really feel the speed and here we see how unforgiving this sport is

NZ is the awesomest part of this planet!!

@Homzy09 It's all in english :). It's just that he talks so fast (and also part of his style) that sometimes two words become one. Such as half-long, keep in becomes halflongkeepin and so on. Just listen closely and you'll understand :)

[Mike_Sanderson]

He hits the power pole, thats why he doesn't continue. Look at the power lines in the top left of the screen once the car comes to a stop. The are swinging from the impact.

@KC8YOQ NASCAR is kinda limited in the sense that nascar drivers don't drive 100+mph in rain, sleet, ice. snow, dirt, mud etc etc, they also don't have to deal with raw mother nature. Also when they lose control they hit a wall and immediately get attention from rescue crews, in some stages when rally drivers lose control of the car, they end up off a cliff or upside down in a lake, sometimes without any immediate rescue, I mean NASCAR is still racing, its just another type thats all.

[royaltonrotors]

Why can't the U.S. get past driving in circles and actually take more of an interest in rally? Nascar needs to move over, and let the real drivers in.

[Bobbit]

@isthissnfree theres can't you hear it? its more an electronic sound coming though the recording, transmission sound is different.

[Grumpy_old_Boot]

Bad luck, that is.

On the other hand, I'm pleasantly surprised at how smooth the video is.
Most rally video's you see, there's a constant "buzz" to the imagemost of the time, making it appear slightly out of focus. But this is rock steady.

How did you get that kind of stability ?

[fabricioteidy]

how did he loose the rear???i cant understand....it kinda looked like a bump but i saw no bump!!!weird...

[Grumpy_old_Boot]

@Taz1451 Even though newer cameras do have better antishake algorithms, but they can only do so much. High or Low resolution, you'll still get the same shaking image without some sort of dampening/suspension. And that's the bit I'm curious about. :)

[Grumpy_old_Boot]

@Bobbit323 Well, allright, fair enough. But if they have "lumpy" voltage why not add a Voltage Stabilizer to smooth things out ?

@RMT87

he actually rammed straight through the pole, but because it was of wood, it did only do some minor damage to the car and just a stiff neck to Mills. But anyhow, it is terribly sad for Petter to be a couple of hundred meters away from the finish line and a pole position, then crashes just at the very very last bit!

[taylortayler]

At 3:09 - 3:10 you hear what sounds like a possible right rear tire shredding up and hitting the inside of the wheel well, it was a light turn to loose control on too, especially when your name is Solberg!!

[juhazz]

i think its just a fly stuck into the camera lens, which is flapping its wings.. you can see it earlier too

[FMECCTV]

WHAT HAPPENED? was that a tyre problem or engine. the video is unclear.

[Grumpy_old_Boot]

@Bobbit323 You think it's the power supply ? Hmm .. I rather doubt that. Seems to me a more likely source would be that the frame they are attached to is shaking a bit as the car passes over bumps. At least that's my experience. Besides, most cameras don't run on 12v, so they'd run on internal batteries.
