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 - Спорт

This is what the WRC should be about. Different event formats, different challenges, over all continents. The Safari is a must-have on the calendar!
Won t be possible because of isis and bokara.
WRC isn't soccer. I'd be surprised if anyone in Africa even knows what 'WRC' is. Not a tempting target for terrorism.
U know why Dakar Rally was smoved to South america ?
Couldnt be further from the truth...we have our own rally championship

The Africa Eco Race takes place with no trouble since the Dakar moved to South Africa. Rallying has always been popular with the locals, you might as well not hold any sporting event in the world for threats of terrorism if you think that way. F1 teams had more trouble in Brazil last year than rallying ever has in Africa...
Bring it back!
Kenyan government working on bringing back Safari rally. FIA president Jean todt visited kenya to open safari rally project
We're Back!
It's back!!!
One of my favorite rally events. :) Hope they bring this rally in any form.
they actually did
If all goes well it will be back in 2020
Your comment aged well
@@littlemorven8992 Need to buy that future telling ball. ;)
We are back in 2021 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Best rally ever with monte. A truly motorsport adventure
Marfran Dema 1000 lakes is the best
Tame Naken i love finland but monte and safari are in another level maybe the old Rac gets closer, but finland even if its high in my priority is at the same level as new zealand very high on my list but not on the top
Survival rally, come back!
Why does that guy look like Pablo Escobar
BRING IT BAAAAAAACK
Glad it is back...I used to watch the rally in our village...it was exciting, my Dad could look for me the whole day....
that stratos
Bring it back!
Rallying is about different challenges, and this was one of the largest.
It's right up there with Rally Finland, Tour de Coarse & Rally Monte Carlo
Tougher
PLEASE MAKE A FULL DOCUMENTARY OF SAFARI RALLY!!PLEASEPLEASE
wish they could bring it back
Bring back the Safari Rally its my favorite events
Beautiful
Please bring it back!
Espero que algún día vuelva el safari rally.
They will back soon - Jean Todt recently went to Kenya and give a support on the bid for 2020.
But what I afraid is the future WRC Safari would be not as same as classic Safari, more like Safari in 2000s
With the security situation down there i don t think it will ever happen.
More like the safety fetishists in the FIA (including Todt) won't let it happen. The security situation is as it ever was.
Actually Todt himself went to Kenya few days ago to oversee (i hope this is the right word) the Safari bid. It means he support the bid. Nice troll.
Jon petter please familiarize yourself with the continent it’s much larger and complex than you’d ever imagine...Kenya’s perfectly peaceful
he misunderstood kenya as part of Dakar which were cancelled in 2008
We want safari rally back!!!
I hope it will be back!!
0:45 Pablo Escobar working as a sport journalist.🤣🤣🤣
Ojala algún día vuelva!
Cool!
"affordable mordern rallying" - exactly my humor. It's a shame that there is no event as the Safari Rally nowadays in WRC.
You re right
Most likely cancelled due to political unrest and threats of violence. Same as Paris-Dakar.
While they are at it, something like group b. They need this to get factory teams from porsche and audi again.

one thing which made Safari out after 2002 was the cost. Not just for specialized cars, but also few things like spotter helicopter
2020 HAVE FAITH IN US WORLD.
Safari rally is Back! Officially!
Lancia Stratos Safari is THE masterpiece.
RIP Mcrae
2021 Safari Rally is still on...🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

It has been revived the legendary safari rally
Maestro en el volante
Little Dakar... Bring it back !
Well, yes the last was in 2002 ... until the 16th of July, 2020. The legend returns.
That's actually tomorrow! Well, next year I guess.

I'd watch modern day rallies if some of these older car models were still present, especially the Stratos.
One more thing! WRC Cars should be banned, and top class cars for WRC Rallies should be build on old A-group rulles - with simple suspensions and tires, making them go sideways on tarmack like on gravel. IT WOULD CUT COSTS, and it would make the sport way more spectacular, and MOST IMPORTANTLY - it would create new legends in serial cars like the iconic Lancia Delta Integralle, Toyota Celica ST185 or the most popular of them all - Subaru Impreza. Look at this this way: when You go to a rally stage to spectate You see two types of cars - rented ones driven by spectators who flew to the event from their country, and old Imprezas, Foresters, Lancers from local fans etc. Rally fans need civil-rally models. Ok we got Yars TGR, but it is FWD, and has hardly eny simularities to the WRC spec.
Actually there's a problem with that, Group A racing literally cuts costs for about two years, then the homologation specials start rolling in, and the costs jump up, that's the main reason touring cars snd rally cars moved away from Group A
What do You meen by "homologation specials start rolling in, and the costs jump up"? I don't understand it. If You must base a car on a production body, chassie and engine, than at some point the evolution should be banned for a year or two, like in F1, and the problem is solved. Compareing N-group cars of the mid '90 and late '00 the changes are way to big. Bigger brakes, complicated diffs, sequentional gears - thinks, that should have never benn alowed in N-group. Now top class R5 is very expensive, not mentioning WRC. And back in the '90 a A-group Escort, Celica, Impreza were reasonably cheeper then their current equivalents. Even in poor countries like Poland we have had up to 5 A-gruop and 15 N-group cars on national championship. Now we gest 3 R5, 5 N-group, 2-3 Proto , no WRC. Rally was better to spectate in the '90.
You do reallize WRC spec exists because Group A got to expensive, a homologation special is a car made purely so that a racing version is legal, hence why we have cars like the Impreza WRX, BMW M3, Nissan GT-R, etc. What ends up happening is the costs of constantly developing a new evolution road car just so the race car is legal becomes too much for the manufacers, and they all start to bail, it happened in touring cars when Group A was replaced with Supertourers, and it's the same reasoning applied to why Group A in rally fot replaced by WRC
ech... I hate economy :( ok ok ;) Well I knew, that the early WRC cars (1997) were to reduce costs, but I still don't get, why there wasn't another way to stop cost rising, and alow us-fans to have roadgoing civil cars like the mentioned by both of us WRXs ST185s COSSIEs. I would soo much love to get a RWD, or 4x4 compact chatch that represents a WRC car. Of course we still have the Impreza, but since Subaru dropper WRC, fans still love only the pre 2007 models - and those are slowly becoming ageing cars. Why is it not possible to make restrictions for development, so taht production cars would have to be a base for a WRC car? I know, that is not a question for You, but really... WHY? I currently drive a Forester 2003, which is a normal, not exciting 4x4, but the only reason for me to buy it in the first place was to have a SUBARU - the ultimate rally brand. I must think of sth bigger now, for I am about to become a father for the secon time, and a uprised Impreza (which Forester basecly is) is to small for a familly of 4. Never the less, as I buy a big familly car (which is NOT going to be a suv, but a typical stationwagon, or a van as I hate suvs) I would love to get my self anothe car just to drive do work in it. I will propably buy a Yaris, or an i20, as Fiesta is to expensive, and C3 is just soo ugly it hurts my eyes, but aside from the name and the badge on the trunk nothing in my future city car will be like the WRC. My Forester has more in common with Colin McRae 1995 Impreza than a new Yars with a Yars WRC - and that is a sad conclusion.
0:24 is that a Volvo Amazon?
2002 will be the final safari rally... UNTIL NOW!
pablo is that you??
0:50 Pablo Escobar? XD
The home of Lion King
"Only 2000 kilometers" 😂😂😂
Whatttttt
Unfortunately if it comes back, Todt wants it to be a stupid closed road, 1000km event. They can call it Safari if they want, but it's not the real Safari rally.
500km is now the limit of every event so when it returns next year It´s gonna be really short
@@Nefus1988 Perhaps they can make an exception for Safari Rally. In fact, some F1 tracks, for example Monte Carlo or Spa, do not comply with the rules for F1 tracks in one or more ways, but are still raced either way.
Of course it needs to be on closed roads, modern WRC cars are very fast and could cause dangerous accidents.
It is not "LanZia" ... It is LanCia from Vincenzo Lancia!
50'' Pablo Escobar talking.
Bringing Safari back on new modern rules will not be the same. It will be another Mexico, or Cyprus, or Turkey. Don't get me wrong - I am ALL FOR SAFARI to come back, but if it does, then some of the other mentionet rellies should be replaced by fast tarmack rallies, like SAN-REMO, or POLAND (IN ITS ORYGINAL LOCATION IN SOUTH OF THE COUNTRY).
Either KNRC or East Africa Safari Classic recently posted, to bring safari to the WRC. The comments was filled with argument/conversation of today kids attention span. That a Safari is too long, & the kids are the WRC's focus. I disagree, it may be more expensive & more time consuming but produce a doocumentary. Or to cut cost look at the dakar. Each team had their own "vlogs" that varied. Find a way to combine them all *legally* for the day results. My atention span was all over the place as a child, now I didnt have cell phones or internet. But something like that grab me. I was focused to that event, it was still all over but 100% to that event or similar
As a teen i can say i am more than willing to watch a safari
My name is peter I live in Peckham London I am 57 years old and formerly From Kenya in 1973 I saw two things happen In kenya 1. Kenya celebrating 10 years of indepentece 2 Safari rally sweet to see
LANCIA STRATOS times, thanks to SERGIO MARCHIONNE never will see again LANCIASin world championships...My favourite was LANCIA DELTA S4 GROUP B!!!!!
C'è il sosia d Pablo Escobar! Figa sn identici 😂
