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

The days when Subaru, Mitsubishi, Ford, Peugeot, Hyundai, Skoda, Citroen and Seat hit WRC stages...
Both Mc Rae, Burns, Makinen, Sainz, Auriol, Delecour, Kankkunen, Schwarz, Gronholm, Harri Rovanpera, Gardemaister, both Solberg, Eriksson, Loeb, Bugalski, Puras, Liati....
😍😍😍😍😍
Yeah! Those safari rallies were too good and those drivers... remarkable 👌
Ford still alive in wrc with fiesta
And left... Where the asphault king suffered a lot... Gilles panizzi.
@@Franz_Donnermann yesss.. the Panizzi brothers, Fast Freddy, Roman Kresta.. Toshi Arai
When Mitsubishi was still in the game.
And Subaru
@@jere4981 yes.true.
Mitsu still in r5, Subaru in wrx
@@Tommy712rus yeah but not in the wrc level
Mitsubishi was in the game to the 2005.
As a Kenyan and a wrc fan, this is great to watch..it truly brings great memories.. I hope the FIA will bring the safari rally back into the wrc calendar in 2021.. We need this unique event to brought back!
But I think it wont happen unfortunatelly for safety reason.
@@jonpetter8921 this month Safari Rally will be held as WRC candidate. Even if the FIA bring the Safari back (and Jean Todt supported them), it wouldn't be same. Even early 2000s Safaris were already different compared to the classics
@@FlatCraze it was still an open rally with tough stages though
@@FlatCraze I will be surprised if FIA goes for it. It will be good news though. but i m still sceptical because of safety. Sure it s only 3-4 days event unlike Dakar Rally 3 weeks.
@@jonpetter8921 Safety reasons where? competitively it runs on closed roads....
After 10 seconds video, I call this video improvement.
I miss Richard Burns and Colin McRae
I think, those early 2000's videos especially safari is really one of the most imteresting videos. They should post more videos like that in sorted wrc 2001 videos. I would be the first one that will watch at least 4 events a day. :)
You can always watch the varrious, season reviews of that era, you can easily find them on youtube, each about an hour and a half long

@@wrc thanks
No music. How it should be
This was peak rally for me. Genuinely good times and brilliant cars
I remember watching the Group B cars in the Safari especially at night...Epic! The sound could be heard miles away in the dark African night - then the lights appear in the horizon and all of a sudden sheer violence as Vic Preston Jnr roared past in a Lancia 037.....
Good ol days
Who am I to disagree ? These are what memories are made of -; a Tusker in the evenings too.
They don't make them like this anymore. Safari gone, Acropolis gone, Cyprus gone... almost all the rough gravel rallies are gone. Now modern drivers whine even Portugal or Sardinia is too rough...
Remember Turkey last year
The Iconic Safari Rally is set to return to the WRC calendar from 2020 if the FIA approves. The test runs began in July 5, 2019.
@@kingsdan7518 really?
@@iainlee114 yah only if the FIA approves though , there was a rally in Kenya last week
the heart of rally is lost. Used to be road cars tuned up a bit and hammered fast as ya could get that bucket to go, now its cars built from the ground up to do rally, just doesn't feel the same.
Now that's teamwork😂😂
Their babies are to be born on the same month same day😂😂
Please bring this Rally back!
Not too soon and we will have another generation (sons) of WRC drivers: Kalle Rovanpera, Oli Solberg (also mentioned here) :)
That made me feel old. remeber watching tv Petter winnig races in subaru wrc, now as photographer capture events and see Oliver in VW R5
Gronholm's son will probably take up rallying once he belts up some rallycross trophies
The greatest rally era IMO
Good times. Now i want this in WRC game!
That was the most exciting Rally. I wish it would be in the Championship again.❤️
It's a candidate this year
how the hell do you have no tyre problems in this rally????? amazing!!! safari back July 2020...we'll finally get to see what the tanaks of the modern rally are made of..
1:55
Makinen : "Full of water, difficult, slippery" but smiling in the end like: "but I enjoy it very much" A fabulous event!
heheheh it was a bit slippy
Last Mitsubishi win for Tommi Makkinen before losing his 5th world championship in Wales British Rally Finale 2001 Before Joining Subaru Impreza team in 2002...
Last Mitsubishi win period.
Man loved every moment of it. Cars, team, drives and stages
I'm overjoyed wrc is finally back in Kenya
Can't wait to relive the gold old days of the WRC back in Kenya.
It's not coming back. Pole sana
@@theturkanabus3610 it's coming back, sorry
@@theturkanabus3610 imerudishwa
@@luis9286 it's not coming back.
At least not in the format that made it legendary
Can't believe it is almost 20 years now. Feels like yesterday.
The best rally, they should bring it back!
If the candidate event this year in July goes well it will be back in 2020
Hopefully we get back into the calendar next year. Drivers and cars will experience what real rally is 😂 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Proper rally mate !
Need to bring it back, there's no rally quite like this on the current calendar
It's a candidate event to be back on the calendar.
It's now back on the calendar
Safari rally was the Jewel everybody wanted to win. So much better than today.
These roads raised me... I used to school these parts of the world... 1995s,94s, . I still have a photo of my plump me standing next to the spotter helicopter... Funny my 1st car is a 2nd Hand Mitsubishi Mirage 1999 which I am hoping to upgrade and do trips around East Africa and document my Safaris... I already have 1st Episode up. Good times WRC.
So many legends racing at the same time
Fia Safari rally in east africa was most exciting sport of the world
THAT YES IS THE REAL RALLY , REAL CAR REAL DRIVES...........
Rally raiz!! Rally bruto, please come back safari rally!
Octavia WRC😍😍 One of the most beautiful car in WRC ever imo..
Not really, the wrc fabia was better in my opinion, but leagues behind the others
@@strahinjastevic7480 Octavia WRC was way more spectacular than the Fabia, I think a lot of rallying fans of the early 2000s has great memories of it. Once Fabia WRC entered the stage it was basically the 'Loeb show' anyways. Also remember Skoda Motorsport was tiny compared to the other teams financially
Loved the rally cars back then
tHIS WAS WHEN RALLY WAS THE BIG DEAL .KENYA CIRCUIT WAS THE MOS TOUGH IN THE WORLD CIRCUIT
Best rally era!
My first and last wrc rally. I miss the action
Last WRC victory for Mitsubishi, as well as the only podium for Škoda during that era
I love these buffed up cars.
there is a Highlights Video "Safari Rally 2001" on youtube right??
I'd love to see the 52 minute full highlights
Legend McCrae always fixing his ride at some point 😂
Good old days, Kenya should work to have it back.
"Their babies both due the same day in December" Damn April 2001 must have been very successful for Solberg & Mills
I miss these days.
Pezo 206 & Subaru Impreca
bring this back looks soo ancient
so brutal for the cars
This generation wrc cars won't handle this rally..
They can with some adjustments. May perform even better than old WRC cars.
@@jonpetter8921 : They won't even handle Turkey rally and you are talking about Safari!! Are you joking?
@@Abhishek-150 Are you unfamiliar with rally ? there will always be cars that will withdraw becaus of tehcnical problems. It doesn t matter Safary, Turkey, Finland, Sweden there will be always causalities. My point is teams will always find way to adapt to new type of rally or new terrains. Some may do better than others.
@@jonpetter8921 imagine modern WRC monsters with Safari mods, they'll look hot af
@@sen_ex Indeed
When Skoda has wrc car.....like old octavia more than both fabias....
Octavia was the best looking WRC car ever in my opinion. Shame that Škoda doesn't make *any* WRC anymore.
Zdenek Precechtel Fabia also has WRC version. It drove in WRC to the 2005...2006
Such a brutal race! Back when there were multiple manufacturers!
good old days
2021 😘 welcome again
I miss watching Subaru, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Toyota, and Ford tearing up these roads
Come WRC, make sure the Safari Rally is back on the calendar, it was a unique & most challenging rally of the year.
From 5th-7th July a candidate event will be held to test preparedness for the return of the safari rally ...wish us luck as a country
Good luck, it needs to return
Nostalgic.
Looks like a short Dakar
great memories...miss colin
in 2020 wrc safari kenya is coming back.
The challenge of the Safari Rally in Kenya is where the current crop of World Rally Drivers will become MEN!!
Make Tobacco Sponsorship Great Again.
The Mitsubishi that was driven by TM we call it "pizza pie" due to the shape of its tail lights. Its a common car but a world rally champion :)
IT'S BACK 👊
Rally is dead long time ago!!! This was the last gold era of it!!!
Maybe we could get it alive soon
WE WANT SAFARI RALLY BACK TO WRC. THE ONLY RALLY WHEN MEN ARE DIFFERENTIATED FROM BOYS
The iconic Safari rally is on the first weekend of July 2019. The only major rally seb Loeb has never participated.
With love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪.
No he has he got back pain as a result of the rough roads
@@zaheeraslam3921 ?
The Glory Days
Now that's teamwork lol.
the days they though this rally was too tough. but now they need something like this to spice up the WRC
ランエボカッコ良すぎる！(≧▽≦)
Ted Black, Sabastien Loeb did participated the safari rally in 2002 finishing at position 6th.
done great
Why didn't they put the full race in the official playlist?!
😍😍🔥🔥
Why Mitsubishi and Subaru left wrc?
Cost and ROI
@@ZeZeBatata69 what's ROI?
@@RPDBY Return on Investment
I miss 2001
Cool
Esto si que era World Rally Car, los coches de hoy en día, no durarían ni la primera etapa de aquella época
Stop paving all the roads!
unfortunately some of us have to ride on these roads everyday mate... But I totally get your sentiment.
The Rally of Portugal, Rally Safari and Monte Carlo are rallies that should never be missed .
Should have some stage of rally at night, it would generate much more emotion and difficulty.
20 years later we back.......
Wheres the full rally vid?????
Subaruu 🤘
Rally safari in 2020?
Hard to believe that was Makinen's second last win.
サファリラリーは過去のイベント全て含めても一番過酷なんじゃないかな。あんな道を乗用車ベースのラリーカーで走ってたこと自体がすごいと思う。
The Safari Rally = 3 other rallies combined
Group A Cars ❤️
These are not group A cars.
@@strahinjastevic7480 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI was Group A and participating here, starting from Evo VII it was WRC spec.. technically speaking
@@YBM2007 the original commenter should have just mentioned the lancer specifically then.
@@strahinjastevic7480 maybe so lol
Safari rally has no rival...bring back man/machine/copters back
Lancia martini group B...wow...miss Dem days...bring back Group B
How about no
@@strahinjastevic7480 no is reserved for the masses ... We are already racing our group B cars regardless if it's voted in or out...
@@gilbertojode5073 group b is outdated, how can you even bring it back without making rally an absolute mockup
Grow up and stop nostalgizing something you didnt even experience
I worked on group b cars...
I am not sure those vehicles were built for such roads
Ol days wrc is great.. present is not interesting anymore
It is interesting. The old days were great, but WRC is amazing after Volkswagen's withdrawal and the introduction of new cars. 2017 had 7 different winners, last year 3 drivers from 3 different teams fought for the title till the last round. The same trio of Tanak, Ogier and Neuville are seperated by 7 points at the moment! What's not to like...
@@maciejmaciex819 sorry, but I just prefer the old one
@@ferdinanda1763 The problem lies in the "is not interesting anymore" statement not having a "for me" attached at the end.
@@maciejmaciex819 As long as there is no Škoda it isn't interesting. For me.
Wouldn't believe if you told me then that in 20yrs time Rich & Col wouldn't be with us and Tommi would be team boss with Toyota and winning championships
"Watch the full 52 min. Highlights Video "Safari Rally 2001" on WRC+ " LOOL in your dreams, greedy greedy
Is it Driver Skill, Car Aerodynamics or pure luck???? We'll find out on the World's Toughest Rally coming up soon!!!! 🌍🚗🚗🚗🚗
So how the Rally Championship works is pretty simple.... Car manufacturer enters their desired car model (must be in production) into the competition after meeting all Specifications and vehicle safety requirements (Roll Bars, Fire Extinguishing Systems and all). With that they have a Rally Team with group A and or group N cars participating.... for instance Hyundai, Ford, Toyota, Subaru, and the list goes on..... Once they're all set, Drivers and Co Drivers are selected based on experience and prior Rally performance. Then comes the competition itself where a 4000+ Km (approx 2500 Mile) course has been prepared with all stages ran on closed roads allowing for the Rally to carry on without traffic or wildlife etc..... Each stage may cover a distance of about 30 kms (19 Miles), which non of the Drivers or Co Drivers has any idea about because it remains with the organizers. The Stages have a given time to beat..... for instance a 30 km Stage would have to be covered within 15 mins or less, otherwise the driver ends up disqualified loosing points for themselves and the Team. They refer to that as being Time Barred.... So since Speed =Distance/Time, the Rally Car would have to be travelling at 120 km/hr or approx 80miles/hr on rough terrain (30km ÷ 15mins = 2*60mins= 120km/hr) to qualify for the next Stage!!!!! Once the cars are Flagged off on each Stage, the Driver depends on the Co Driver for coordinates to beat the clock (30 slight right, max jump 100).... 'angles and speed', not knowing the exact kind of terrain to expect, so the pit crew has to be precise on the tires and suspension.... For Head to Head Rally competitions, Check out the Special Stages!!!!! So.... Driver Skill, Car Aerodynamics or pure luck???? We'll find out soon on The World's Toughest Rally....
My Take Summarized!!!!

Sure. WRC should bring back Rally Raid in the calender. Unfortunatelly African safari Rally could be dangerous because of terrorism. WRC has to find new places, maybe South america, or maybe oceania..
dangerous what? The WRC candidate safari would be held next month
Where is there no terrorism?
Africa is a continent not A Country, terrorism is in some countries mostly in Europe and America
@@faysalharoun2899 Terrorsim is the reason Dakar is being moved to South america.
We talking about the Safari Rally in Kenya not the Dakar rally in the Sahara, Africa is a big continent but you uninformed Europeans and Americans always generalize things you dont even know about.
Na don't like it... More suitable for jeeps not cars... Its just off roadin...
Quite an interesting video😊
Thanks for this👍
