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

Legend, but we have only one minute to told you about him. #wtf_WRC
This guy deserves a whole 2 hours long documentary. from drifting lancia 037 to setting up the Carrera GT ^^
Autosport 9 February 2017:
The genius on wheels:
The computer. That was what they called Walter Rohrl during his time in rallying. A calculated yet committed style gave rise to victories on rallies as disparate as the Acropolis and Monte Carlo, in cars as dierent as a Group 2 Opel Ascona and a Group B Audi Quattro. Rohrl’s talent as a rally driver is well known. But what about Rohrl the racer? Well, there was that class win at Le Mans, in a Porsche 944 in 1981. There were also those Stateside successes at the wheel of a fearsome-looking Audi 200 Quattro Trans-Am. *And then there are Niki Lauda’s words. What was it he called Rohrl? “Genius on wheels.”* Lauda wasn’t the only Formula 1 world champion to recognise the ability of the two-time World Rally champion. *A number of years ago, Rohrl recounted a story that told everything you needed to know about what he could do with a car. It was a story about what was, for him, a fairly mundane run around the Nordschleife. Lapping The Green Hell is a regular part of his development work for Porsche. On this occasion, he found himself on the tail of The genius on wheels what was clearly a well-driven supercar. While focusing on the task in hand, Rohrl engaged the other car, finally sending one up the inside in the last few corners to cross the line ahead of the other precisely matched motor. Exiting the track, Rohrl was going through his cooling-o procedure and stopped at some traic lights. His rival was right behind him and concern grew when he saw the driver’s door open. Moments later a furious-looking Michael Schumacher banged on Rohrl’s window. The look of relief when he saw who was behind the wheel tells us everything about how good Walter Rohrl was - and is - on track.*
Did he ever win a title? How many rallies? Would have useful info for a video like this.
One thing I come to think of: 4x4 existed back then, and it's obviously superior today; but then why were there so many FWD and RWD cars used?
The concet of rallying is taking a production car and transforming it into an offroad machine. Back then in the 70s-80s, 4x4 existed but it was expensive to be produced and also expensive for the everyday people to purchase. As a result companies built the classic RWD cars that were also used in rally.
Nowdays 4x4 is much more affordable and all brands participating in the WRC have developed at least a couple of 4x4 production cars.
Ari Vatanen und Peugeot 205 T16 sind besser. Ist der komische kautz Röhrl schon mal Paris Dakar gefahren? Hat der Vogel mit den DKW S1 schon mal den Titel geholt? NEIN aber der Ari hat alles gewonnen
What a rally-legend, those clips are amazing. But only 1minute? :/
I usually like your short clips, but that one could have been a bit longer
The true LEGEND !
is that it!? for the greatest Rally diver ever?
those crowds back then were amazing to watch
and hit!
XD
for me they're bunch of idiots....they're one of the factor why group b was banned*(if I'm not mistaken)
@@guy5140 Luckily they weren't rallying Mustangs back then
"I dont like jumps because i dont like flying."
LEGEND !
BTW the quattro s1 has the best sounding turbo I've ever heard :)
Alles Gute zum 70. Walter 🎉🎉
0:51 : is his arm like that for a reason?
What about Michelle mouton?
0:24 reason why group b was banned/ best group b clip of all time. Balls out and the only way to tell where the turns are were the pace notes and where the spectators were!
I think he was the best with Hanu Mikkola in this time.... It'd be interesting to compare his skills in today's cars...
THE BEST EVER
Nicht nur eine Rallye-Legende, sondern DIE Rallye-Legende
Grande campione,grandi vetture!
Walter Röhrl ist und bleibt die Legende!
The Professor..
5th place overall in Targa Tasmania 1997 in a Porsche 911 SC RS.
MEINE IDOLE
Absolute Legende. Man kann nur spekulieren was er mit der F1 gemacht hätte, da er Rundkursrennen generell nicht mochte. Ich bin warscheinlich nicht der einzige, der denkt er hätte es mit allen aufgenommen :P
He doesn't like jump.
i have a question about the wrcplus subscription,does it provide historic championships like wrc rallys from the 1999 and back.
No, it goes as far back as 2014.
Happy Birthday Walter ! / Alles Gute zum Geburstag Walter !
quattro god
Still the very best!
