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.

The guys on WRC+ called Hänninen "the tree guy". I almost died laughing =D

[stigafan]

I want that kind of footage in WRC+. Also its funny how he says "perkele".

[unouri]

Tell me how many times he will hit trees in this season.

[JohannSc]

Do you see many concussions from the drivers and navigators? Seeing their heads bounce around made me curious

[nono]

deux arbres en deux rallyes ! pas mal 😉

[tommybackstrom]

that beep totaly missed the perkele xD

[relampagobm]

al parecer el piloto del toyota yaris le encanta chocar contra los arboles jaja

"Trees in wrong place at right time" - (narrator of Crash Kings of rallying 3)

[Fergutor]

Just like the Monte Carlo crash he does the minimun not to crash and then he just stay that way without improvising any other escape until he crashes. For example he could make the car turn further left by using the handbrak:, as he has opposite lock the front wheels are turning, unless he's braking, so release the brake or the gas and pull the handbrake. He will end up crossed in the stage stall the engine if he doesn't apply clutch and probably he could roll the car a bit but he will be able to continue losing some time and not destroy his race with a tree again.

aaah being an armchair rally pilot is good...haha

[janihenrikkoukku]

Yliyritystä jälleen!!. 😕
Ei oo puuhun, voi ..ittu!. 🙈 Taas.
😁

Makinen should have given Kubica a chance instead of making Toyota an exclusively Finnish team. I'm sure he wouldn't crash more then Hanninen.

I like how their driving gear looks similar to the one worn by Sköda WRC drivers. You know, they dress a lot like the WORST WRC MANUFACTURER EVER.
