  • WRC Season 1998 was a season full of twists and turns, with a leaderboard that will change continuously throughout the year and a sprinkle of drama to keep everything fresh. In this season the driving level was insane, with 5 world rally champions at the wheel of cars with more or less the same performances! What Cars? Well, some of the most loved by fans in rally history: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Corolla, Ford Escort, SEAT Cordoba, Peugeot 306 Maxi, Citroen Xsara Kit Car...just to write some names. Grab some popcorn, there will be fun here!

    That Evo is still, arguably, one of the best looking rally cars. Ever. Even as a McRae fan, that Marlboro livery proved those colors work on just about any race car. Wasn't it the first time the driver's name was on the car, years before McLaren tried it in F1?

    • @svenmartin840
      @svenmartin840 2 месяца назад +2

      You are correct. It started in NASCAR first then Trans-Am,and Can-Am,Then IMSA. Then F-1 in 73 or 74.

      @@svenmartin840 They mean the tobacco 'brand' - "Tommi" replacing "Marlboro" prior to "Mika/David" replacing "West". Though it was in the same season (1998) that both Mitsubishi and McLaren did it.
      In terms of any driver name though, F1 had it in the mid-60's, so a little earlier than '73.

    I have followed Rallying since 1975. And Sports Car Racing. When the Wild World Of Sports covered the East African Safari and I saw the 1975 Lancer. And I said Dad our car is on TV. And I hope the WRC comes back to the United States. Because it should be on it. Because if you look at the Sports Car Racing. Acura vs Lamborghini came down to two points. In Grand Touring Daytona. And recently last year with the Last year of the Daytona International Prototype.

    98' was a crazy year that's for sure.
    But with Tommi & Mitsubishi having to deal with more restrictive Grp A rules & a new car on top of probably one of the most competitive fields of drivers in WRC history their victories in drivers & constructors championships were well deserved.
