Fantastic video, already showed it to some of my American friends who have barely any idea what rallying is, really well explained and to the point :)

I'm fairly new to rallying and this was a great sum up! Thanks.

This is really nice video to now link people that have not been with the sport for the last 20 years. Thanks for making such a comprehensive video and making it available to us all.

As someone that got into rally near the tail end of last year, this was super helpful! Thank you!

Until the career mode broke I played 60h of WRC within 3 weeks even though I am super busy right now and I am hooked on rallying now.
Will try my best to follow for the first time this season so this video is a godsent :)
