Care to see latest and most advanced iteration of Hyundai i20 WRC, merrily running around the tarmac stage in Spain? Excellent, stop reading now and step on the play button below because that’s exactly what this video is all about. i20 WRC, camo, Juho Hanninen and Bryan Bouffier and outrageously fast Spanish asphalt. Not long...
Some test sessions are just that, test sessions, set on some random road which resembles the real stage of some WRC event, whether by altitude or the type of gravel or smoothness of asphalt. Teams can monitor progress and learn about setup changes by monitoring times set by their drivers on this stage, but they...
When months and years of hard and dedicated work finally pay off, I’d say you’re entitled to a special celebration or two. Perhaps Citroën Racing knows if winning the manufacturer’s title for the second or third time feels as awesome as the first, but I imagine it is a bit special first time you achieve...
Group B cars, group A cars, first WRC cars, modern WRC cars, rally cars, cars!

Furthermore,...
Few days ago we got the chance to ask Luis Moya a few questions, thanks to Rally the World. Carlos Sainz had to delay his chat with the WRC community on Twitter, and it happened today. It was kind of a surprise and I’m sure it actually happened spontaneously so Rally the World had no...
