How do WRC and Rally work?

Here's everything you need to know about the World Rally Championship, and why it's an amazing series

The FIA World Rally Championship is one of the most varied and demanding forms of motorsport in the world.

Manufacturers and drivers take race-going versions of road cars through snow, ice, gravel and tarmac, in any country, any time and any weather to set the fastest times.

Modern WRC cars feature complex hybrid systems similar to Formula 1, with highly sophisticated suspensions systems built to handle the extreme conditions these cars are put under.

To succeed in WRC you need to be incredibly brave and precise.
